@cd318 Says he who couldn’t figure out why his brief ownership of an LP12 didn’t go well fifteen years ago and went on to a what?? a Crossley or no table at all...but is still experienced in all things Linn LP12. You have to love it.

@dsholl1   How ironic coming from the man who likes to post ad hominem's! You might consider taking your own 'advice', LMAO.

@dsholl1 Just like you are quite the expert in Linn tables.Only difference is that I have heard the Kuzma on many occasions and with varying systems. Just like you have with the Linn...right??

@tzh21y Really!! Since you know my system better than i do, please do enlighten us all as to what specific equipment you are talking about that I don’t own, but comment on. Let me tell you, if I comment on equipment, I either do own it ( like the ...

@tzh21y Listening to Magico speakers and comparing them to Linn speakers would lead to your conclusions. Unfortunately, you came to the incorrect conclusion about the table,but not about the rest of the Linn gear.

 @rwwear  Why, because he should be accepting of the fact that most a’philes are ok with being fleeced...and that is part of the hobby! I’m not saying the Linn is way overpriced, but the majority of gear in the hobby seems to fall into that catego...

@tatyana69  The Avid is an excellent deck, Hard to fault. Which model are you getting? Having said that, I don't think the Acutus ref is any better than the top LP12 Radikal D Klimax, just different flavour. Cannot go wrong with either table. You ...

@tatyana69 Unfortunately, there are so many negative opinions on this table on the various forums from folk who have never even heard the table, never mind owned it, that it is easy to get bad information about it on the www.This is why I ask the ...

Or, you go with a Well Tempered Arm on the Linn. That’s what I use and it’s a superb match up. The ‘Black’ arm has all of the imaging qualities of the Naim Aro with none of the downsides, IME. 
Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi
I ended up with a new Lyra Kleos, after some significant experiments with loading, which I found to be very critical, I ended up with a custom Vishay at 750 ohms. Accuracy of set up is also imperative with these cartridges, but once it’s right, th...
