Kuzma CAR-30
The Kuzma CAR-30 comes from the Slovenian workshop famous for its tonearms and turntables. Its low 0.3 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The MicroRidge stylus runs at a rated tracking force of 2.0 g. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info
The Kuzma CAR-30 delivers precision with body. Its MicroRidge tip on a boron cantilever brings high resolution, tight imaging and controlled dynamics, so the sound stays composed and layered even on complex passages, with natural vocal timbre over a firm bass foundation rather than bloom. Resolving systems with acoustic, jazz and classical material reward it most. The stylus is integrated, so wear leads to a retip.
