New turntable: TW or Obama?


About to take the plunge on a table to replace my venerable SOTA Star/SME V.

Top contenders: TW Acustic Raven LS or a Kuzma Stabi R with wood base.  Arm options are the TW 10.5 on the former, or something else.  Would likely get the Kuzma 4 point for the latter.

Anyone with experience and an opinion on these analog tables?

Cost wise they are similar, both under $20K.

Thanks!

As a user of an SME V, I would advise keeping it and finding a suitable turntable to partner it with. SME is now under new ownership and prices have risen alarmingly. In addition they only supply arms with their own turntables i.e.arms are not available as a stand alone purchase. A few dealers carry "old" stock that they have priced accordingly on eBay. If you decide to change arms you should be able to get good money for your SME V.
With your title I will assume that the tt you are referring to is half black have white, comes with a barry cartridge, does not work and cost a lot of money!!
 I'll bet you never thought this area would be a snarling snakepit of political opinion. Things have gotten much more touchy after everything except sunspots or the lack of them have been politicized. Good luck with whatever it was you were asking about today. Remember, it isn't the same world as when you went to sleep before Covid.

I would agree a new Cosmos would be great, but the Kuzma 4point11 I suspect might be too heavy for the sprung chassis. The 4Point11 in my view is much better than the 4point9 and thats why I recommended the Kuzma TT with the 4Point11.

Do you have a Cosmos/Kuzma ??
