Anyone with experience mating a Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm to a SME 15 turntable ?

Currently listening by way of an original Avid Volvere/SME IV/Air Tight PC1s.

Have on hand a Zyx Universe III &/or a Benz Micro LPS for the Kuzma/SME combo.

Not sure if this is an upgrade or just a lateral move. Either way objective is to have 2 TTs in system.

Your insights are welcome & thanks in advance.

Good luck - just balancing is not spring resonance and spring longevity optimization…. a trial balance is good starting advice…..
