Kuzma - Stogi - 9" Tonearm

Kuzma - Stogi - 9" Tonearm 

The Stogi by Kuzma is a very rigid medium mass tonearm that incorporates precision stainless steel ball bearings, precisely mounted with zero play, low noise levels, and very low starting & running friction. Each bearing is rated to 20kg (44.1 lbs). Two bearings are used for vertical movement and two for horizontal movement.

The main frame and all other parts are machined from solid aluminum or brass blocks. Some parts are anodized and some are not, to help control tonearm resonance. The headshell provides a stable cartridge mounting, while the internally damped tube connects this to the massive bearing parts where any vibration or noise is dispersed. Most parts are glued together for rigidity and damping.

The straight tube is machined from aluminum rod fixed on a brass support to increase tube damping. Azimuth is adjusted by releasing a locking screw and manually rotating the tube on the brass support. A decoupled brass counterweight controls balance and adjusts tracking force, while damping vibration in the tube.

The massive arm base serves to clamp the tonearm rigidly to the arm-board. All bearings are pre-loaded and glued into position. This creates a long-lasting, zero-play bearing with low friction and low noise. VTA adjustment is made by raising or lowering the tonearm in the arm base itself.

Internal connection wires are continuous from cartridge pins to output connectors. High quality wires are incorporated into our own cable. Output connections are available in: 5-Pin DIN, RCA or XLR (Balanced).
