Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review

Halcro, No one is infallible. Even Fremer. Do you accept as gospel everything he prints?

I enjoy his writing and do appreciate his contribution to analog and audio. His reviews are better than most and I like the fact that he compares gear with his reference gear. He is not afraid to write what he thinks either. This does not mean I have to agree with everything he writes.

I did not see where anyone disagreed with his conclusions regarding the comparison between those three tables. Not that it matters but I have heard the NVS several times and the Onedof once. It is impossible to make any real comparisons as they were not in the same system. I would like to hear the Continuum.

I find it counter productive to put too much stock in one mans opinion. I have been burned before as most of you have I'm sure. Everybody has different tastes and preferences.

Tapping on a section of a turntable that is above the isolation built into the TT and/or platform does not tell you how it isolates from floor born vibrations.

Of course precise speed and stability of speed are a good thing. Why would you want to add to the imperfections inherent in vinyl. Less error the better.

I completely agree with Dover regarding the VPI Classic. I had a Classic 1 and the motor and belt are the weakest link and far from SOTA.

No one is perfect but some of Fremmer's statements just make no sense to me.

The Kuzma 4 point is interesting. I have not heard one yet. There seems to be contradictory statements about it's bass performance. The two reviews I've seen both say the bass is it's strong suit. But I seem to remember a couple of posters on this forum say the bass was soft. Maybe they will chime in.

As with any piece of gear it is best to hear it for yourself.
