About the Premier FT-4

The Sumiko Premier FT-4 is an updated version of the FT-3 tonearm, manufactured by Jelco in Japan. It is a stereo gimbal bearing tonearm designed for precise analog playback. Key features include adjustable arm height (with on-the-fly VTA adjustment when fitted with the VTA-16 arm mounting base), adjustable overhang, offset angle, azimuth, anti-skate, and fluid damping for smooth operation. The tonearm supports cartridge weights ranging from standard up to 8 grams and extra weights from 8 to 14 grams. It is considered a high-quality, almost vintage tonearm with precise manufacturing tolerances.
