Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts

I am currently enjoying a Lyra Etna SL on a Morch DP8. I am interested in trying a Kuzma 4Point.  I have heard that many find the Kuzma/Lyra combination to work well.

Does anyone think there would be an advantage to the 4Point 11" over the 4Point 9"?  Specifically with sound quality not VTA tower use. 

Thanks!

@karl_desch,

BTW…forgot to add that my cartridges are mounted on SME Vs…and the one new tonearm I am looking at is the TRA9…essentially a newer improved SME V. If I order a new Transrotor Tourbillion it may well come with the new TRA9 tonearm.

That TRA9 arm looks pretty great!  Thanks for the link.  You will need to start a new thread about it if you do get the new arm and table.

Your welcome, and for sure, a new thread  if I go that route. 
Meanwhile, let’s hear how your Kuzma sounds😀 with any of the cartridges you decide to mount. I think there is a lot of experimentation opportunities with the Kuzma due to differing spacers or something like that.

The TRA9 is indeed an intelligently designed arm. I like The 4 Point 9 better. It has a lower effective mass that can be used to suit more cartridges. It is much easier to add weight than it is to take it away.

@audioquest4life - you can get a Kuzma adaptor for SME mounts (~ US$575) - best to email Franc or talk to your Kuzma dealer, if you want to further pursue.
