Kuzma Stabi Reference
Stabi Reference is a classic turntable used by mastering studios and archiving institutions all over the world. When fitted with Kuzma Airline or 4 Point tonearms it is hard to beat at any price. Understated and exuding quality the Stabi Reference is built to last a lifetime.
It is constructed from two plates, each layer being made from a sandwich construction of two 10 mm aluminium plates, separated by an acrylic plate clamped together with pre-stressed, non-magnetic, stainless steel screws. The turntable chassis (top plate) is suspended by large springs submerged in silicone oil, with a low resonance of 2.2 Hz, which dampens movements of the springs themselves. The main base (bottom plate) is supported by three aluminium and stainless steel spikes. The top plate is easily leveled by four knobs that glide like silk when you turn them. When this plate is lifted (for transport) the silicone suspension reservoirs are automatically sealed.
Two motors in a diamond drive, power the sub-platter, which has an inverted bearing with a ruby ball. Both ball and sliding ring have their own oil bath for lubrication and damping of any vibration within the bearing. The platter is also of a clamped sandwich construction, in order to combine the strength of aluminium (rigidity) and the damping properties of acrylic, which produces an exceptionally stable and non-resonant platter. The mat and reflex clamp are made in much the same way as the platter and further serve to control all vibration. The arm-board also employs the sandwich construction design.
Stabi Reference is now supplied with the latest PS 2 Reference power supply with still higher quality components to provide further precision in control and a faster, smoother transfer of energy.
Upgrades:
You can start with a basic Stabi Reference fitted with a Stogi S tonearm and gradually upgrade all the way to a 4Point or Airline tonearm. Then when you are ready we can trade back your Reference on a Stabi XL and transfer your tonearm over. You investment is protected well into the future.
