Long Tone Arms

[bpw]

I am very curious what people think about Franc Kuzma's latest master piece. Any one hear this yet?

4Point 14 inch- New from July 2015 - Kuzma Professional Turntables, Tonearms and Accessories

I don't know if any are in the US yet. I have had the standard 4Point here since early on and have sold and installed quite a few. Set up on the new Stabi XL DC 'table, it could be really something.

I don't 'get' a 14" arm and with an effective mass of 19g, how many carts will actually work with it?

Rob-Did you steal those lines in your avatar from me?

I created that meme in your honor, you get full credit. In fact, you can use it as your own anytime you want.:Bow:

FWIW I asked Jaime Monroy of Pelotone, the Koetsu distributor, about this, especially with regard to the stone body cartridges. He feels the extra 5g of effective mass would be a sonic benefit for sure with the stone bodies, saying they tend to prefer higher mass arms.

I presume the new Kuzma line will.

Kuzma CAR-50 on 4Point here, also with happy customers.

new old 12 inch tonearm onto the TW Acustik table. SME 3012-R aka 1981 - believe the hype, this is one super natural sounding tonearm.

I love my 3012-R tonearm too.
