    Arrived: New Kuzma R with 4Point

    Today my new Kuzma R and Kuzma 4Point (11”) with Kondo Silver phono cable arrived. It was expertly setup by Mike Malley of Suncoast Audio. On loan, I’m “test driving” a My Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent EX. This combination sounds sublime so far.

    Really appreciate Mike Bovaird and his associate Mike Malley for the personal delivery and setup. Nice job guys!

    Thx Mark!

    The table and arm are stunning. The MSL clearly belongs in the upper tier. Needless to say, Lee Morgan, Chick Corea, Bill Evans and a few others are playing in my music room.
