Tonearm tower:
Position the tonearm tower in the approximate normal tonearm position. Ensure that the
tonearm tower is not touching the platter, base, or motor towers. Position the tower so that
the VTA toothed knob is facing away from the platter and that the parts holding the
measuring guage are facing towards the front. For Kuzma tonearms the gap between platter
and tower is 5 mm. See Fig. on page 2.
By rotating the VTA knob conterclockwise, raise the height of tonearm tower to slightly
below the top surface of the platter (10-20 mm). If your tonearm tower comes with an
appropriate cutout for your tonearm, measure the distance from the spindle to the centre of the
tonearm tower. When used with our tonearms this should be 212 mm. The top brass round
plate is removable and different tonearm cutout brass plates are available from your dealer.
Rotation of the top brass plate against the tonearm tower is easily done. Just release the two
side screws with Allen key 3 mm. The position of the tonearm tower in relation to the
perimeter of the platter does not affect the tonearm geometry, so the tower should be placed
for convenience of use. The only critical parameter is the distance to the platter centre.
Underneath the toothed VTA knob is a screw for securing the VTA , to prevent this being
accidentally changed ( using Allen key 1.5 mm).
