I have a number of cartridges boxed and will likely purchase extra tonearms. Rather than winging it with my own ideas like tackle boxes or design a horizontal tonearm rack, I realized that many established audiophiles on this forum also have multiple cartridges and arms. Also, any good ideas may benefit other forum members.

How do you store your carts and arms?

Iirc you have or intend to have a Kuzma 4Point with cartridges mounted on 4Point headshells.

Franc Kuzma makes a nice cartridge storage bin that I call the Kuzma Roundhouse. There is a single cartridge version and a four cartridge version to store cartridges mounted on 4Point headshells.


Here is one of my two:

Otherwise I keep cartridges in the containers in which they arrived. Here's my Fuuga in its own round house...

The Fuuga is a great cartridge to use with the 4Point tonearm...

If you have a certain turntable / arm mount style and lots of arm options you could have a plank ( shelf ) cutout to have same mount type and lock the unused arms into it ( hence keeping all hardware engaged and not floating around )

As far as longer term storage for carts goes, I buy generic small pelican style cases from harbor freight to keep them safer and also then they all stack nicer :)
