About the 4Point
The Kuzma 4Point tonearm series is built around an innovative four-point bearing system, using sapphire/ruby cup bearings and steel pivots to control vertical and horizontal movement independently with minimal friction. This design keeps play and vibration to a minimum, allowing the cartridge to track LP grooves with high precision. The series comprises three related models: the original 4Point (11-inch), the shorter 4Point 9, and the longer 4Point 14, each suited to different turntable and setup requirements. All versions feature a detachable, hexagon-locking headshell for easy cartridge changes without sacrificing rigidity. VTA adjustment is available across the range: the 11-inch and 14-inch models use a dedicated VTA tower for fine, repeatable adjustment, while the 4Point 9 uses a pillar/set-screw mechanism suited to suspended turntables. The 4Point series is highly regarded among audiophiles for its precision, low-friction operation, and customizability.
