Thanks for sharing! That is a cool looking turntable!

Very nice Ken Great looking setup. Bet its sounds great.

Another video getting a shot of your whole room including the speakers would be appreciated.

Awesome table!

I love room(equipment) tours.

Not familiar with the Kuzma stuff but if it's good enough for Ken it's very good indeed. DeVore speakers are at the top of my list based solely on reviews and comments from folks whose opinions mean a lot to me---I have yet to hear a pair. Shindo? I aspire to be worthy. And, I found it telling you mentioned McIntosh in the same breath you did Shindo and Audio Note. Good stuff, Ken!

It would be cool for people in JVL to post under 5 min tours of their systems some people have seriously cool stuff!!!

Sweet!

What's the bore diameter on these arms 25mm or 30mm? Thanks

I realize you have a lot of gear through your place for your job so it says quite a lot that you still own and use a turntable you've had since 2000.

Sick.

Hi Ken, i notice you did not apply antiskate to Hana cart. Did you apply antiskate to other cartridges? Did you ever tried dl103 on stogi s? How much VTF and antiskate were applied?

Thanks so much for sharing your gear Ken. I think you and I go for the same type of sound - natural, neutral with a touch of warmth that tubes often provide. I'm in the market for speakers and just got back from AXPONA. I was hoping someone would be running the O/93s but it seemed I was out of luck and there are no dealers close to me. I really like the sound of the Spendor D7 and I was wondering how you may feel it compares with the O/93. I will eventually find a place to demo the Devore but was curious on your take for perspective.

you should audition quad esl 57 with that system.

great table. I have never seen one for 2K though

Hi Ken, Appreciate your knowledge of the great vinyl recording and showing us your Set up.... Just curious what you could put together for $5000 and appreciate it's sound quality?

Kuzma pipes hollow? Fillable with sand/shot?

That Luxman looks great. Wasn't aware of that.

Thanks for the tour, Ken. Always enjoy your S'phile reviews, and it helps to have a picture of where the magic happens. I'm thinking about a new phono pre to replace my Wrightsound 100 that's getting long in the tooth. The Luxman looks like a winner. Could you do a quick vid on that unit's qualities if you have a chance? You can't be a vinyl lover, jazz or otherwise, without a phono pre for your LPs, after all..

Excellent video, Ken. Beautiful system you’ve got there. That Kuzma deck is awesome, and a steal at $2K! I’m a vinyl guy also, and am kind of ashamed I never payed attention to that Luxman phono pre. It’s tube based, and I love how you can adjust the capacitance and impedance via potentiometers on the front panel. It’s cool that you can adjust the capacitance from 30K to 100K for MM, MI, or HOMC carts, cuz even though the manufacturer may recommend 47K, that’s not always the optimal setting for any of the cart types I just mentioned. Are they able to be adjusted in real time on the fly? I was going to buy a Manley Chinook, but you may have just changed my mind. Thanks for the great vid, Ken! 🎶🔊🙂

Wow, a very unique looking turntable! If you’re willing to share, it would be interesting to hear about your interconnects and speaker cables, CD player, and see just how many shelves of records you have. It looked some of your gear was sitting on a slab of wood - is that an isolation table or just part of your rack?

Will you share your tt journey? What you stated with, the different tables you purchased over the years up to the two you shared in the last few days. Thank you!

Wonder why you have chosen the DeVore Orangutan O93 over the O96? I heard the O96’s at the 2019 hifi show show here in Copenhagen driven by a Kondo Overture integrated amp. It sounded superlative. Best at the show. So basically I am wondering do you prefer the sound of the Orangutan 93 over the 96, or do you just feel that the extra expense is not worth it?

I am intrigued with your Shindo Allergo preamp. Is it truly a dual-mono with two volume knobs in two separate chassis? When was preamp in production? Thanks for your review of your system

with a very good cartridge like you have a neutral preamp would be what i'd want

Hi Ken, how tricky is it to set up that turntable? Is that tonearm a unipivot? I love they way the turntable looks!

You must do a review of some of those shiny, silver things in the background....I forget what they're called. (LOL)

Is that lighter fluid?

How do you compare that little Kuzma to a table with a monster platter on it. Like the Transrotor , EAT or the VPI. 8000k plus . I know the kuzma is around $6000 with the motor controller and the stogi arm. So what you said about it being $2000 is not exactly true

You never mention your cartridge. It's not very visible in the video, but it looks like it might be a Hana from the color.

While talking about your speakers, why did you keep your camera on the turntable?

If you could tell about the record you're playing would be great.

A lot of trouble setting the kuzma as and azimuth, but is so good, some help ?

Can I ask where one can get a Stabi/Stogi for $2100? Or maybe I misunderstood and you're talking about just the Stabi? The US Distributor lists the Stabi for $2156 without a tonearm.

dust dust dust

Luxman EQ 500 used = $4500.00+

wow. thats nice but way too expensive for me. i take it you are not married cause single guys usually spend on things like this. Anyhow enjoy , its your money. I was wondering if you have heard Ella Fitzgeralds Gershwin record on verve? I have it and it sounds so good . She really was the wonderful one in song.

Cool. Now that youtube and reality shows give people more of an insight into other's lives, I've noticed white people are able to afford a lot of expensive shit
