Kuzma 4 point 9” or 313VTA

A shot in the dark: I have both arms mounted to my lab table. I have NEVER listened to my lab table nor either of these arms as I only use the rig for cartridge analysis. If you live close enough to Sonoma County, CA feel free to come by for an evaluation shoot out between the arms. I might even have two of the same cartridges to mount to each so as to make the change between them a quick one. You can be my excuse to make it the first time I've heard either arm in play!

(I use the 4Point as my main arm and love it)

I own and enjoy the 313 on my Stabi Ref 2. The 313 VTA leans to a full, meaty sound, but still has the ability dig in and extract plenty of detail. The adjustments are so easy. I stumbled upon a video recently with the top dog designer from Ortofon. Leif is his first name... It was a setup video with an SME 5, where he went through VTA, VTF, Azimuth....it didn't appear as user friendly as the 313, so it made me feel pretty good. I have no experience w/ the 4 pt/9, but I have heard it may not be as full sounding as the 4 pt/11. I would speak with a dealer if your intention is to buy new...it could come down to synergy with the Stabi S. Are you leaning toward the black or gold. Nice table!!!

I’m not, but if U don’t what I’m asking, I rather prefer some user/expert opinion.

If U don’t know what I’m talking bout, why bother in post? useless.

out of my budget for now.

What is a “313VTA”?

Why not the 4P?  I auditioned both the 4P-9 and 4P when I bought the Stabi R and went with the 4P. It was significantly better in my experience.
