Yes, the VdH on the Kuzma. Sounds amazing - I was half expecting to be disappointed by the Stabi Ref, since the Stabi S is so good. But I am definitely not disappointed - it is surprising how much the Stabi Ref improves on the Stabi S. 3 minutes ago, scuzzii said: no room on the cabinet - have a CD player sitting there That is a problem easily solved!

Hergest Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Looks great Shane. How's it set up then? Plinth on Stillpoints and then what? Looks like a piece of Corian sitting on some form of isolation/beer mat things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a piece of Corian sitting on some form of isolation/beer mat things? thanks Paul. here is a better picture of underneath. Stillpoints replaced the stk feet and are screwed into the plinth where the old feet were M6 thread and make sure the Stillpoints don't touch the underneath of the plinth. This sits on a piece of 40mm granite isolated by 4 or 6 compression springs. 6 sound best for my heavier TW table - however 4 sound better with the Technics. Then the most important part of the isolation - the compression springs sitting on top of mini golden book pages in all seriousness, the golden book pages are just to stop the wood stand from being scratched. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always surprising how big an effect the arm can have. The Stogi Ref is darker and heavier sounding, while the PU7 is lighter (obviously), faster and tighter. The Kuzma goes a bit deeper in the bass, but its bass is also a bit rounder. The PU7's bass is tight and rhythmic. Both sound great. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
