@amg56, Is ''Stogi Reference'' made by Kuzma? Can

this tonearm be counted as ''vintage''?

@nandric 

Define vintage? 1996? considering the advances in tonearms and cartridges to 2018 I would define it as getting vintage, and still brilliant.

Im using TW Raven 10.5 on my TW AC1 turntable with all Black Night upgrades and Transfiguration Proteus cartridge for best analog sound.
SME 3012R, Micro S 505 and 808X(good luck finding one!), Technics EPA-100/250/500, TransFi Terminator.
