Kuzma Stabi S

Stabi S is our smallest turntable with a design approach normally found only in more expensive models. Its unique shape and construction of solid brass rods, provide an extremely rigid connection to platter, bearing, and tonearm support. There is no flat plate to resonate and transmit vibrations, only solid brass rods 50mm in diameter. A second brass rod provides stability and the two are clamped together in a T shape. The motor is housed independently in its own bras tower which dampens the vibration of the motor itself. A ground, flat belt provides drive from the motor pulley to the sub platter.

The bearing is of highly polished, fine-grain carbon steel with a one-point contact, while the bearing sleeve is of a resin/textile material that has excellent damping, and non-resonant properties.

With a mat on top and rubber damping insert underneath, the sold aluminum platter provides a stable non-resonant platform for records. Since 2018  is supplied thicker platter- 30 mm.
An acrylic cover protects the platter and tonearm while reflecting the turntable’s original shape. A 45 rpm adaptor is provided and is simply slipped over the 33 rpm pulley. The turntable can accommodate various tonearms by the use of different pre-cut brass plates and it allows for VTA adjustment on any tonearm mounted.

The whole turntable is supported by an optional high-density plywood plate.
