The Kuzma STOGI S 12 is a direct development of the STOGI S uni-pivot tonearm. It shares essentially the same materials and construction as the 9” tone-arm, but its increased 12” effective length results in significantly lower levels of tracing distortion.
The S 12 tone-arm uses exactly the same construction with low-friction, heavily damped bearing design as the shorter arm, but it’s increased effective mass requires three, eccentrically mounted brass, compound counterweights to allow for different cartridge types/weights and easy adjustment of tracking force and azimuth. Despite the longer arm-tube, the S 12 still uses uninterrupted, one-piece arm-cables from headshell to RCA phono connectors. It also offers the same balanced XLR or 5-pin Din socket termination options as the standard arm.
