Kuzma - 4Point14 - 14" 4Point Tonearm

Kuzma - 4Point14 - 14" 4Point Tonearm 

The Kuzma 4Point 14” tonearm differs from other arms by incorporating several unique features. The zero-play bearing is configured on 4 points (spikes). Precision VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) adjustments are possible and, despite a longer effective length of 353 mm (14”), it fits the mounting distance of 291mm (11.46").

The heart of the new construction is a unique 4-point bearing. The first set of two points controls vertical movement. The second set of two points controls horizontal movement. All four points have minimal friction and zero play in all directions thus ensuring the cartridge platform and the cartridge itself move with very low friction and minimal vibration across the record. It is normal to feel slack in the bearings in certain directions. All 4Point tonearms are manufactured with sapphire/ruby bearing cups. This lowers friction and noise level in bearings thus improving performance. The whole construction is mounted on a rigid VTA tower which allows very precise VTA adjustment while playing, without any loss of rigidity, yet with up to 0.01mm of precision and zero play.

The main tube is constructed and machined from solid aluminum. The counterweight set balances the tonearm and there is a second, small counterweight that allows fine adjustment of the tracking force. Azimuth can be adjusted in frequent, small increments with zero play by means of a hex key.

A feature of the tonearm is a unique detachable headshell (a spare headshell is included as standard). The headshell is secured with a precise hexagonal locking system that has the same rigidity as a fixed headshell. The electrical connection is via standard pins but the headshell can be simply removed by unscrewing with a hex key.

Two separate troughs damp vertical and horizontal resonances and can be minutely adjusted independently. The troughs may be removed from the tonearm, if desired.

Internal wiring (4 wires of a superior silver alloy) runs unbroken from the cartridge pins into a 1.4m (4.6') long tonearm cable, with silver bullet connectors.

It is possible to mount the 4Point 14" tonearm on Stabi M and still close the lid when not playing records.

NOTE: USA sales and shipment only. Tonearms do not come with a cartridge. No cables are included with DIN Tonearms. Some Kuzma items ship from overseas, so delivery times may vary. Accordingly, delivery may take 2-4+ weeks. For questions about availability and shipment, please contact Sound Approach.
