Kuzma 4 Point Tonearm


I am thinking of purchasing the Kuzma 4 Point tonearm to mount on a TechDas lll Premium TT.  I have read every review I could find but would like to hear from anyone who actually uses one.  Please share your experiences in set up and use.  One final note I have considered the 9” version but like the ease of changing VTA on the 4 Point.

Audioquest for life, you sure like phonograph stuff. The 4 point is a great arm. I like the 9 the best. I just ordered a Schroder CB 9". It will be in my hot little hands on Thursday but the turntable is still about 15 weeks away:-( I picked the Schroder over the CB because of the magnetic damping and antiskating which I feel is superior to the 4 points mechanical antiskating. It is also a lower mass arm which suites the cartridges I use. I prefer more compliant cartridges with advanced stylus profiles as I have seen enough evidence that convinces me record wear is much lower. The Clearaudio Charisma just blew me away. I now also have my first Soundsmith cartridge, The Voice ES which I am psyched to try but I'm waiting until I can put it in the Schroder. 
@mijostyn,

Yes, sure love analog...it’s become more pronounced since I departed the military and get to enjoy life and music more since I am not traveling much anymore. 
But, the Dohmann Helix is a heck of a machine. Looks wonderful. What model are you getting? I was seriously considering the Transrotor Tourbillion which is close to the price class of the Döhmann Helix One Mk.2. Now, I have some research to do. 

Look forward to your listening impressions of the Döhmann Helix when you get it. 15 weeks is a long time to wait for that beast, holy cow. 
Interesting feedback regarding the Kuzma 4point mechanical antiskating vice the magnetic antiskating of the Schroeder. It would be interesting to measure lateral antiskating bearing resistance/friction of the Kuzma vs the Schroeder. What I am thinking is if the bearing has excessive friction and somewhat sticks causing antiskating to be problematic. I don’t think you have to worry about that with the Schroeder, outside the magnetic field losing its magnetic properties for whatever reason. 
Dohmann table and Schroeder just terrific although I only heard the first gen table. I don’t know about the second gen. I almost bought gen 1 but money was a little tight at the time.
The Kuzma 4P is a very soft sounding Arm, good for slow music with nearly no dynamic swings or for very analytic sounding Systems. When you want to push the reproduction to a "bite" you need an extremely sharp cartridge, like Coldfinger, Air Tight or vdH. The majority of carts sound more or less in a way that there are no real differences. It makes the choice of carts pretty simple. Maybe a Transfiguration is overall a very good balance with that Arm, it is worth a try.
