Best Cartridge for Kuzma Airline

This may be of help.

From the Kuzma website:
Recommended cartridge compliance: Below 25 cu

From the 'specifications' section of the Stereophile article:
Optimal cartridge weight: <9gm.

Given the fact that the optimal cartridge weight should be less that 9 grams, I wouldn't think that the Lyra Titan at 12 grams, or the Dynavector XV-1s @ 12.6 grams, would be the best fit for this particular arm.
All things being equal I would imagine that the Xyx cartridges at 5 grams or the VDH Colibri at 6 grams would work better.

Thomas, try the Kondo Io-j with your Kondo Transformer - very good match

I have this arm for about a year now. It is by special request wired with Nordost Valhala (one piece cable from the cartridge to the phono stage) and I am using Koetsu Jade Platinum. According to Franc Kuzma with whom I discussed this issue directly Koetsu is a good choice. He is also suggesting Dynavector DRT VV-1s and Benz Micro LP Ebony.

Thanks. I tried a few cartridges in the meantime and in my opinion, the best are max. 10gr. Heavier ones are no problem, they work fine, but when I compare those with my Phantom or DaVinci, I think, heavy cartridges are better for heavy Arms.
A sensational Match is the UNiverse, Zyx 100 and the Lyra Skala. The Skala performs well in normal Arms but in the AirLine there is a transmission to something totally different. Very, very good here. A friend with the same Arm uses a Shelter 90x and is very happy with it, he says, it's also good.
