Kuzma 14“ 4POINT vs. Acoustical Systems Axiom

[Birdwatcher]

Hello,
i know and have had several Kuzma tonearms like Airline and older 4Point 11“, but not an actual 14“ 4Point with the actual bearing cups. This could be a great match for my Lyra Atlas, DS Audio W2 and maybe later in the future for an Airtight Opus 1 cartridge.
There are many fans of this long Kuzma tonearm here, but the most of them haven’t had the chance for a comparison to an Acoustical Systems Axiom tonearm. Who knows both of them, and maybe could compare them in the same system? What are the sonic differences, how much “more” can I expect from the nice Axiom?

thanks for any informations.

I guessing you won't get many hits on the intersection of those two arms. You might send a message with your question to member @Syntax who has an Axiom and familiarity with Kuzma.

Contact 108CY - he owns both of these arms and can provide insights.

Thanks a lot and I hope for some help from 108CY, but anybody is welcome to answer.

Maybe is there anybody in the meantime who could report something about the differences between the two tonearms?
