(A certain designer of a six-figure turntable we know claims nothing else comes close.) The four-point design certainly thrills the engineers out there-it’s an elegant way of ensuring the cartridge stays in the groove with minimal vibrations, sort of an important feature. Named for the fact that its zero-play bearing is configured on four points, the Kuzma has quietly emerged as one of the finest tonearm designs on the market today. Kuzma 4Point ($3,795-8,995 USD depending on length and options)
(It comes in 9.5”, 10.3” and 12” lengths.) Competitive with much more expensive arms, The Wand will convince you that a properly designed tonearm can have a huge impact on the sound of your analog rig. The flagship Master Series of unipivot tonearms from New Zealand’s The Wand features an unusually thick carbon-fiber arm tube that is much more rigid than normal tubes, and enough accessories to mount it on many, many different ‘tables. The Wand Master Series ($2,500-3,250 USD depending upon length) You can also select from a long list of options-arm lengths, finishes, headshells, cables and more. The Schick arm is ideal for SPUs and can be ordered to match both SPU-A and SPU-G designs. This tonearm has a relatively low price because it’s a relatively simple design, but its elegance is off the charts. However so far the arms that have offered the sound I like with on-the-fly VTA have been a bit costly but not necessary extremely costly (what ever that means ).Ī Schroeder arm (cost wise) is as far as I would go I think at the moment considering the turntable that I have.Tonearms if money can be saved I am more than happy. Hi and thanks for the kind input! i've heard this before about the Funk arm but never lend an ear to it. That said, accurate sound is not always what people like best! Of the modern arms available, based on what I learned then, the Funk FX3 looks from its design parameters to probably be the most accurate arm out there, and is not too expensive. Some of the "worst" were the most expensive. Pretty well all arms, regardless of price, had enough resonances to move the cartridge body enough to see additional output from the cartridge.
