Mounting Kuzma 4point 14 tonearm on Yamaha GT 2000 turntable

After many years of owning this turntable I have decided to upgrade from the Yamaha arms. I have settled on the Kuzma 4 point 14. This choice means that I can never use the stock turntable dustcover ever again. Not even when not playing a record. The Kuzma arm is too sizeable to enable that. Luckily the large plinth on the GT 2000 can accomodate the Kuzma 12 inch mounting distance.

I know I will be the only GT 2000 owner with a 4 point 14. Does anyone have any tips ot feedback about the 4 point 14? Thanks in advance for any specific relevant replies

There is another solution for you.

Galibier offers a Kuzma 4Point Hybrid - the 11" arm tube  from the 4Point11 mated with the 4Point9 tower - mounting distance is 264mm. You lose the VTA tower - VTA adjustment is the same as the 4Point9. Should be perfect for your Yamaha which was designed for 10" arms.

!0.5 inches. Thanks for your reply Dover. I will get the 14 and make a new plinth for the GT.

If you have enough room around your turntable on your platform, you might try StereoSquares for a dustcover.  Custom sizes can be made.

Plus no insult to Thom at Galibier. I will not be using any substitute tube. Not if NASA made it.

I am in Australia. Thank you for the suggestion about the dustcover.
