Interestingly Fremer backtracks on his comments on the Kuzma cartridges in the latest Stereophile. Or rather, he repeats them, but says that (in essence) because he prefers a more analytical Lyra type of sound, the Kuzma cartridges did not appeal to him, but for someone who likes a different type of sound, the Kuzma cartridges are very good. They then get a Class A rating in the same issue.
I’m a little bothered by the whole thing. In a way I would have preferred Fremer simply leaving it go with negative-ish review. How is it a cartridge he doesn’t like gets a Class A designation? Did anyone else at the magazine listen to it and disagree with Fremer? Or did Franc Kuzma call up Fremer, tell him his opinion is wrong, and Fremer said “OK you’re right, even though I don’t like it, it’s a great cartridge and it’s Class A worthy.”???
