Frank Kuzma is releasing a new arm!

I just wandered onto Kuzma's web site to check on the specs of one turntable only to be confronted with a $25,000 9 " sapphire tubed sorta 4 point arm. Looks like a winner to me. I think it is a better design than the SAT arms but then I thought the 4 Point 9 was a better design than the SAT arms. Next will be a diamond arm tube:-)

Is the headshell interchangeable like all other Kuzma arms? From the pic doesn't seem so.

Waste of money! You can buy a new car instead.

You can buy a new car instead.

And that comes with how many wheels?

Time to reassess your grasp of the real world.

@dover, You have your tonearm geometry mixed up. The SAT arm is a stable balance arm. In other words it will always return to the same balance point after a period of oscillation. VTF changes with elevation. The 4 Point is a neutral balance arm. It will stay in whatever position you put it in. VTF stays constant regardless of position. Yes, the new arm is a heavier arm which means it is limited to cartridges that are on the stiff side. There are plenty of those. As it is very short, shorter than a Rega arm it's moment of inertia is low in spite of the mass which is more important than EF. It's major failure is it's price. Would I buy one? Certainly not for a Lyra Atlas.
