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

With a VTA micrometer built into the tower would a 4 point 9 have greater rigidity than the 14 and work better in the context of an XL and a Naim 500 system. (I have the latter but not the former.)

If you’re running a standard gain superline/supercap phono stage don’t go too high with the cartridge output level, the platinum magnet Keotsus are about right, the sumarium cobalt ones are getting nearer the limit but maybe not quite where you’d be looking at using the E variant but anything 0.5mV and above and you’ll be sending your phono stage in to be converted.
