Stogi Reference 313 VTA

The STOGI REF 313 VTA combines the longer arm-tube, detachable head-shell, easily adjusted azimuth and close-tolerance ceramic bearings of the standard 313 version, with Kuzma’s zero-play, precision VTA tower to give users the ability to precisely adjust arm-height and thus VTA/SRA on a record by record basis or even on the fly.

By using an offset mounting the STOGI REF 313 VTA actually mounts at the same distance from the turntable spindle (P2S) as the 9” STOGI arm, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of turntables and plinths, even those with skeletal chassis construction or small arm-boards.

The large diameter VTA tower provides continuous zeroplay adjustment of arm-height in increments as small as 0.01mm, matching the precision nature of the STOGI REF 313’s ceramic bearings, allowing precise alignment of the stylus with the groove face for optimum retrieval of information and the most natural musical replay. Such tiny adjustments might seem almost irrelevant, but in practice they are easily heard and the fact that you can alter arm-height as the record is playing means that with surprisingly little experience, adjustment for optimum performance is easily achieved.

With the same termination options as the other STOGI models and minimum tracing distortion due to its 12.3” effective length and precision VTA adjustment, the level of performance achievable with the STOGI REF 313 VTA means that it will be perfectly at home in even the most ambitious systems, regardless of price.
