Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts

Karl, in regards to the Lyra cartridges the 4 point 9 is the best choice. The 11 will work but the 9 will undoubtedly have less distortion because of it's lower polar moment of inertia and I think you can get a feel for that in the reviews. Both arms will be a significant improvement over the Morch. You will notice an improvement in bass detail and power.

@karl_desch,@karl_desch, I will be very interested to hear your comparison of the Lyra to the Soundsmith. 

Thanx Karl, I would expect you to notice better resolution under 150 Hz or so and depending on your speakers might notice more output below 80 Hz. This is just an educated assumption but an assumption non the less. I wait for your definitive answer.
It is the strain gauge cartridge I would really like to hear. Soundsmith keeps one set up for audition and I hope to hear it when I get down that way. My daughter lives in NYC. I have a "Voice" which is just a high output Sussurro in a box waiting for a turntable. Should give me a good idea of the house sound. I know the Atlas well and it is one of my favorite MC cartridges. I am new to Soundsmith. 

The TRA9 is indeed an intelligently designed arm. I like The 4 Point 9 better. It has a lower effective mass that can be used to suit more cartridges. It is much easier to add weight than it is to take it away. 

Excellent Karl!  I'd be very interested in what you think the Sussurro sounds like in comparison to the Lyra. I recommend the 4 Point 9 a lot as it will fit on Sota turntables. I have not heard of anyone not loving it.
