Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak??


I am seriously considering the purchase of a new TT rig.  It consists of a Kuzma Stabi XL DC turntable, a matching Kuzma 4 Point 14" tonearm, and a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge.  It will be played through a Naim 500 series amp and preamp and phono stage.  The speakers are a pair of brand new Grandinote Mach 36's.  I would appreciate any and all feedback from those familiar with this equipment.
Thanks for taking the time,
Mitch

I've owned a Clearaudio Master Solution from the clear acrylic episode, equipped with magnetic bearing, Synchro PSU and Unify tonearm. It was a nice looking and reliable table, but its performance was held back considerably by that tonearm. This became very 'clear' to me when it was replaced by a Kuzma Reference 313 VTA using the same cartridge (VdHul Frog at the time). That Kuzma arm was great and I'm sure the 4P will be even better.

Agree with @dsholl1 about Phasemation PP-1000. I have the P-1G (its predecessor) as well as the P-3G (now PP-300), which comes very close at about half the price. Highly recommended!
