If you bought the Kuzma brand new it would have come with a protractor.
Tonearm Mfg's mistake
I just bought a 3 year old Dr Feikert Volare turntable with a Kuzma Stogi S Arm.
I had to go online to find a protractor to set up my cartridge. The one I found was a Kuzma branded protractor for 3 of the 9" arms they make. Including the Stogi S.
Why would they not include the 12" diameter protractor with every sale. The arm lists for about $1880 US. At that price just give us the protractor and not force me to find a new one on Ebay UK , Now what how many weeks for shipping??
I think it is a missed opportunity for the tonearm manufacturers.

what you need are the ANSWERS, distance numbers, for a. install tonearm, centerline distance: spindle to pivot. installed: CHECK IT IS CORRECT when you buy a Turntable. Something could move during transit, it may not be properly tight, or was done imprecisely, rare, but check it. install: draw an arc, and find a location on the arc that keeps the rest of the tonearm within the dust cover when in place. b. overhang distance, spindle to stylus tip, MOVE CARTRIDGE forward or back in the headshell, set overhang prior to ’c’. c. two null point measurements, these vary relative to specific arm geometry. ALIGN CARTRIDGE’s CENTERLINE, find the best ’straight to the lines’ compromise for two arm specific null point locations.
Hudson Hifi Alignment Disc, Other Side Blank has a grid of lines to use once you have the answers for ANY arm. Use other blank side to set anti-skate last, see the arm move in/out/float in place as you make adjustment while manually spinning.
excerpt The three advertized alignments and their null points are: Baerwald 66 and 120.9 |
