Air Line

For some listeners, even the minimal tracing distortion of today’s longer, pivoted tonearms is unacceptable. For them, only a linear-tracing tonearm, one that mimics the path of the cutting head will do.

The Kuzma AIR LINE is just such an arm, combining the structural integrity, machined from solid construction and precision adjustability of more conventional Kuzma tonearms, with a large surface area, inverted air bearing to allow linear tracking of the record groove.

The minimal, 0.005 mm air gap and solid steel shaft ensures structural rigidity and friction-free movement in both lateral and vertical planes. The zero-play VTA tower, worm-drive Azimuth adjustment and adjustable tension, locking counterweight ensure perfect cartridge alignment is achieved and maintained – without which the benefits of linear tracing are quickly diluted.

Maintaining a near-perfect phase relationship between the left and right channels, the Kuzma AIR LINE delivers all of the dimensional and rhythmic advantages that parallel tracking tonearms are renowned for, while overcoming the structural failings and practical issues that compromise the performance of other such designs. Its moderate vertical effective mass and the provision of a full-width damping trough to control lateral movement, ensures optimum performance from the widest possible range of matching cartridges. If you want to experience the ultimate stereo performance from your analogue records, then the AIR LINE can take you there.
