Kuzma Stabi M
Stabi M is a modern turntable designed in the classic turntable style with the emphasis on providing the best possible record playback. Its size allows even 12 inch tonearms to be mounted and covered within its massive acrylic dust cover supported by spring hinges . The dust cover is constructed so as not to pick up any vibration from loud music.
The turntable is assembled from various solid parts of aluminium making the construction rigid and vibration absorbing. On the outer sides of the main structure are solid aluminium plates, which give the turntable mass and further increase structural rigidity and damping.
The covered spikes within the legs allow horizontal levelling of the whole turntable.
The top aluminium plate under the platter, has an elastically underhung main frame and motor system, below which is insulated from the outer main turntable’s structure via four big elastic dampers, allowing for fine horizontal levelling of the platter and tonearm.
The platter is constructed from two pieces of 40mm thick aluminium with an acrylic damping plate sandwiched between making a very inert support for records.
The bearing has an inverted shaft with a ruby ball which gives precise, low noise rotation to a supporting subplatter.
The main frame carrying the main bearing and massive aluminium armboard, is bolted together from solid aluminium blocks forming a unique damped rigid support.
The motor system: The DC motor itself is specially mounted inside a brass cup and aluminium plate. This motor assembly is encapsulated and suspended inside a solid brass motor housing. Thus the main frame is doubly insulated from the motor system and yet still maintains rigidity, allowing for maximum torque momentum to be transmitted via the stiff plastic belt to the sub-platter. This gives the platter a high torque drive with the positive properties of both belt and idler drives, while minimising the negatives each.
The external power supply controls the DC motor with precise freqency and it has very fine speed adjustments.
The control panel on the front plate of the turntable has start/stop and speed change functions. The full speed of platter on 33rpm is reached in just over 3 seconds.
Pricing: Kuzma qualifies for Parity Pricing. This means you pay the Euro price for an Australian delivered unit inclusive of shipping, taxes and local warranty.
