4Point

For the 4Point tonearms Kuzma has developed a unique and superior bearing arrangement that offers the incredibly low friction and freedom of movement of a uni-pivot along with the rigidity and stability of ball-races.

Based around incredibly sharp, hardened steel points and sapphire cups to fix their positions, the 4Point bearing maintains perfect geometry, excellent energy transfer and the lowest possible levels of vertical and lateral friction, providing the cartridge generator with a stable working reference and freedom from motional resistance or interference. Differential damping troughs are provided for lateral and vertical movement, an arrangement that allows further fine tuning of the tonearm/cartridge relationship, to maximise musical performance. Combining the 4Point bearing system with an 11” version of our established two-part, tapered and damped arm-tube and our proven zero-play VTA tower creates a tonearm that offers lower tracing distortion than a standard 9” arm. Repeatable precision alignment of all cartridge parameters and a rigid yet detachable headshell together with the versatility of medium effective mass and a standard 9” mounting distance (P2S) makes the 4Point arm compatible with almost all turntables.

The counterweight system employs composite brass weights to ensure that the main balance weight is as close as possible to the pivot point, ensuring minimum inertia, a secondary, low-mass weight being used to fine-tune VTF. Azimuth is of course handled by our zero-play sleeve-joint and worm drive arrangement, which provides incredibly precise rotational adjustment around a hairline reference point without any compromise in rigidity or energy transfer. You can even lift the entire arm top free from the bearing, allowing you to replace it with a second arm/cartridge combination, while preserving every minute aspect of cartridge alignment and set up. With a choice of different, one-piece cable runs or termination boxes, the 4Point tonearm system really is the most complete and versatile analogue replay solution in existence. It brings record replay closer to live performance than ever before.
