Kuzma - Air Line Complete - Zero-Friction Linear Tangential Tonearm

Kuzma - Air Line Complete - Zero-Friction Linear Tangential Tonearm 

The main point of attraction for this tonearm is the linear tangential arm incorporating an air bearing which ensures practically zero friction in movements, while still maintaining a rigid bearing.

The Air Line tonearm is the result of a combination of experience making top class conventional radial tonearms and new research into air bearing technology.

The Air Line tonearm also has a rigid, minimally resonating aluminum structure and is easy to adjust, with repeatable precise VTA and azimuth adjustments as used in our best tonearms.

The air bearing used is the same type as those used in precision measuring and tool making machines; which demand the highest accuracy possible in frictionless movement and positioning. The gap between the shaft and bearing is 5 microns, this creates a rigid frictionless bearing capable of withstanding over 10kg (22 lbs) of load. A bearing such as this gives the cartridge zero vibration and zero movements in undesired directions. This allows the cartridge to collect only musical information from the grooves.

Pressurized air is supplied by the quietest compressors available, equipped with an air-drying unit. It is best positioned outside listening room connected only by a thin plastic tube.
