Kuzma 4point9
Submitted by DaveyF on Wed, 2018-05-16 19:46
I noticed that in your review of the Kuzma 4Point 9 in the current issue of Stereophile (June 2018 issue) that you make mention of the fact that this new arm is more compatible with the Linn LP12 platform. Unfortunately, this is reported to actually NOT be the case! There are several users in Europe who have tried this combo, all have been severely disappointed! The suspension of the Linn requires a very light weight arm...along with cabling that has no way of interfering with the subchassis and bounce. As a current LinnLP12 Radikal D owner, I know this as a fact. The LP12 is VERY unforgiving when it comes to arms and the compatibility with weight, design etc. Did you happen to check the new Kuzma 4point 9 on a LP12 table?

No Mercury Poisoning For Polly Jean
No one has ever claimed PJ Harvey creates music made for easy, or even pleasant listening. Much of it is dark and painful, but even at its weakest, Harvey's music is provocative and worthwhile.
Her latest won U.K.s prestigious Mercury Prize for "Best Album of the Year," and if you're willing to take the time to dig into it, you will be rewarded and yes, even entertained by this fully realized concept album.

Collection of Demos, Outtakes and Radio Still Carries Weight
Knowing Bernie Grundman, there’s something amusing about thinking of him cutting the lacquers for this ORG reissue of Nirvana’s “cull” album of demos, outtakes and radio broadcasts.
The mild mannered Grundman is more of a jazz fan than someone who indulges in hard rock/grunge. Nonetheless he’s nailed the shit out of this reissue, particularly on the bottom end that really kicks ass.

No Sophmore Slump For Fleets
Paul Simon can't go back to his folk-rock roots. It's too late for him to turn around, but a younger generation surely can use the hybrid genre as a start-up base of operations. The first and second Fleet Fox albums demonstrate that.

Foo's Best in Years Recorded Analog Issued on Double 45!
There's no mystery about why this seventh Foo Fighters album succeeds artistically and commercially. Dave Grohl tempers his scream fest tendencies with focus, clarity and discipline. Producer Butch Vig, who worked with Nirvana tightens it all up and doesn't leave any loose ends hanging in a recording done in Grohl's garage. Grohl brings back Nirvana and Germs guitarist Pat Smear as well as Krist Novoselic on bass and accordian on "I Should Have Known." It's almost a reunion.

Re-Charged Simon Scores
After a series of albums that tried too hard to advance the cause and so seemed self-consciously so, Paul Simon has produced his best since Graceland. The album title explains how he's managed. It celebrates the significant but demolishes it at the same time.
Again he's called on world musical roots and other branches to energize his compositions, but as in Graceland, the cores are sufficiently strong to sustain the weights of the add-on accouterments.
