Kuzma 4Point 9-Inch Tonearm with Crystal Cable Silver/Gold wire & ETI Silver Bullet RCA Connectors

“Kuzma 4Point produced the best performance from the Lyra Titan i that I’ve ever heard from it in my system: the best tracking, the best tonal balance, the best imaging, the best (and most remarkable) cleanness of vocal sibilants. The Lyra’s bass performance was as deep, fast, and nimble as I’ve ever heard it, and its image solidity and soundstaging in general were also the best I’ve heard from this cartridge. The sound the 4Point produced had an immediacy, continuity, transparency, linearity, and freedom from mechanical artifice that, until now, I’d thought could be heard only from open-reel tape.”

— MICHAEL FREMER, STEREOPHILE

 

“Overall, compared to [the original 4Point], the new 4Point with Kondo wire sounded with a bit less grain and edge for a more lifelike, less mechanical sound. Slightly richer tonality and more authentic articulation offered improved differentiation among musicians and instruments according to the record at play.”

— TIM AUCREMANN, POSITIVE FEEDBACK

The heart of this new design is the unique 4-point bearing. The 4Point from other tonearms by introducing several new and unique features. The new zero-play bearing is configured on 4 points. The 4Point tonearm has an effective length of 280mm (11-inch), a very precise VTA adjustment facility and fits Kuzma’s standard mount with a 212mm pivot-to-spindle distance. Two points (which are similar to a uni-pivot bearing) allow and control vertical movements of the tonearm. The other set of two pointed bearings allow and control horizontal (lateral) movements of the tonearm. All four points of the bearing have minimal friction and zero-play in all planes of movement, thus ensuring that the cartridge platform and the cartridge itself follow the grooves of an LP with extremely low friction and minimal vibrations.
