Kuzma 4 Point Tonearm

@original poster,

The Kuzma 4point is now on my radar for a third tonearm for my system, a Transrotor Apollon TMD. Lots of positive reports in industry and in forums about the Kuzma 4point.

 I had also considered the Graham Elite or a top tier Schroeder...but, always seem to migrate to the 4point in my research, and from a close analog buddy of mine who suggested the Kuzma 4point.

I currently have two SME Vs that I use with my Soundsmith Sussaro, Benz LPS, and Benz Ruby Z, and Hyperion.

I plan on using a myriad of cartridges now and in the not too distant future on this tonearm; Soundsmith Hyperion, Air Tight PC1 Supremen, Air Tight Opus 1, and perhaps some other variant such as the Etsuro Gold, as well as something on the higher end scale from Koetsu.

I hope your listening sessions are going well and look forward to you posting your impressions.

@mijostyn,

Yes, sure love analog...it’s become more pronounced since I departed the military and get to enjoy life and music more since I am not traveling much anymore. 
But, the Dohmann Helix is a heck of a machine. Looks wonderful. What model are you getting? I was seriously considering the Transrotor Tourbillion which is close to the price class of the Döhmann Helix One Mk.2. Now, I have some research to do. 

Look forward to your listening impressions of the Döhmann Helix when you get it. 15 weeks is a long time to wait for that beast, holy cow. 
Interesting feedback regarding the Kuzma 4point mechanical antiskating vice the magnetic antiskating of the Schroeder. It would be interesting to measure lateral antiskating bearing resistance/friction of the Kuzma vs the Schroeder. What I am thinking is if the bearing has excessive friction and somewhat sticks causing antiskating to be problematic. I don’t think you have to worry about that with the Schroeder, outside the magnetic field losing its magnetic properties for whatever reason.

Interesting feedback about the Kuzma 4P. The Kuzma 4P is one of the arms I am looking to add to my system, but, as I get tidbits such as this, it’s slowly becoming less of a contender.

Not wanting to derail the 4P discussion, but, Do you have any alternative tonearm recommendations for the OP and community at large? Specifically, ones that are not soft sounding and can play any types of music with reasonable quality besides just slow music? I think this would be of value to the OP and community at large. Thanks.
