we were not satisfied with what the market offered on turntable mats. we developed our own to offer you. made by a military approved manufacturer of carbon fiber aircraft parts.

we were not happy with any of the carbon fiber mat offerings on the market. most were skins of CF over some sort of foam, or they were a single, flimsy layer of CF veneer or simply just not made very well an look uneven and blotchy. we approached a CF manufacturer that makes parts for the aircraft and military market. this is what we came up with. here's a link to more info and where to purchase one. thanks for looking.

🥁🥁🥁Announcing Degritter MARK II 🥁🥁🥁

We’re releasing a new and improved model of the Degritter, dubbed the MARK II. It will become available from next week, Nov 25, at a similar price point as the previous Degritter model.

The new MARK II machines include all the best features of MARK I and it also comes with:

😎Ultrasonic Power Drive 2.0
The new ultrasonic Power Drive features Pulse Mode cleaning in addition to the already present 4 transducer layout and the Frequency Sweep. During pulsing, ultrasonic transducers rapidly switch on and off at high power. This gives enhanced cavitation in water, but keeps the average power consumption low.

😎Improved ease of use
We have perfected the feel and function of the machine’s buttons. The movements provide a smooth easy to grasp journey as you flip through the new overhauled menu.

😎New look
MARK II machines feature casings with a darker shade of gray, new look for the buttons and a white logo on black machines. There is also the distinct MARK II print.

😎Postwash rinse
The new software for both the MARK I and MARK II machines now supports rinsing records during washing cycles with the help of a separate water tank.

We will also continue to offer support to MARK I owners. Together with the new software upgrade released last week, these machines are still stellar and share most of the features and pedigree with the MARK II.

Registration are now open:

NEW KUZMA SAFIR 9 TONEARM

After five-years of concerted research and development, an effort that has refined our existing designs and practices as well as introducing entirely new and unique materials, the revolutionary SAFIR 9 tonearm is finally ready for launch. A significant step forward in performance, our new flagship tonearm will be shown for the first time at the Munich High-End Show in May 2022.

The Safir 9’s most obvious feature and the heart of the design is its conical sapphire arm tube. This provides the cartridge with unprecedented stability, delivering optimum electro mechanical performance from the generator. Extremely rigid, this tube is stiffer and offers a higher resonant frequency than any arm tube ever previously used. It's first break-up mode occurs at over 5KHz, providing the cartridge motor with a true mechanical ground.

Due to the use of a sapphire tube, this is a high effective mass tonearm!

The bearings are a further development of our own, proprietary 4Point design, the four contact spikes being located in sapphire/ruby receptacles. These ensure rigid, friction-free coupling of the tonearm to its mount, allowing the headshell to move, freely and precisely on the optimum path across the record.

The sapphire tube and bearings are fitted into massive solid aluminium and brass blocks, whose inert support helps dissipate the mechanical vibration generated during playback. The double brass counterweight (with locking mechanism) allows extremely precise application of VTF, while azimuth can also be precision adjusted in small, repeatable increments with zero play. The use of the sapphire armtube makes this an high effective mass tonearm, suitable for low compliance cartridges only.

The tonearm is mounted to the turntable's arm board using the Kuzma arm base. Arm height is adjusted with a fine VTA screw which controls the height of the tonearm's pillar in the arm base, allowing allows precise and repeatable adjustments whenever required.

The internal wiring uses special silver alloy wires that run, unbroken from the cartridge pins via a 1.5 m long tonearm cable to the silver RCA connectors.

SAFIR 9 reveals the ultimate potential of your cartridge, revealing musical detail, nuance and expression previously hidden in your record's grooves. Move up to the SAFIR 9 and you suddenly discover not just a whole new record collection, but that the music and musicians you've always loved are even better than you realized!
