Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm

Interested to learn who has heard either the SME V-12 or Kuzma Four Point arms, and with what related equipment.
I'm familiar with M.Fremer's review of the Kuzma.
I want to upgrade my Technics SP10 MkII table from the very nice Acos Lustre ST-801, and have a new Micro Benz LP-S cartridge. The two arms I am considering are the SME V-12 and Kuzma's Four Point.
My audio buddy has the V-12 and I am quite familiar with it, but his system is solid state where mine is hybrid, his cartridge is beyond my means, and his speakers, though wonderful, are monitors where mine are full range with subs.
I look forward to learning what *experience* others have had.
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance.

Best, David

4points and Simplicity are these days two of the best choices available at
any price

Applause.
I am waiting for the 4P Ltd (Wood tube, retail $45000) :-) mounted on
the Good Night Turntable Mk 33⅓ in combination with the long
awaited Meteor Cantilever Koetsu.

Syntax, you have a great deal of experience with a broad range of arms. Have you heard the Kuzma 4PT? If so, with what associated equipment?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Yes, one of my friends owns that Arm mounted on a Raven AC, we compared on that table with Kuzma Airline, Graham Phantom and a Triplanar VII. Same cartridges (at that time we used 2 Zyx UNIverse), same Phonostage, Frontend ....
We also compared the Raven AC to Kuzma reference Table, both tables used the Airline Arm...
I posted some time ago some pics about that ...

Raul, you are old and your "brain" shows its time. You repeat your distortion nonsense year in year out (like everything).

I know almost perfectly what kind of distortions likes Syntax...

You k-n-o-w??? Come on, don't confuse me

I forgot more about high quality analog reproduction than you will ever learn (but i wrote that to you years ago and your limited brain simply didn't get all over the time, maybe the mexican sun?)
More to discover
