Base only.
The Stabi S is Kuzma’s most compact turntable model, yet it incorporates technical and structural solutions typically reserved for high-end designs. Its construction is defined by the exclusive use of solid brass rods, each 50 mm in diameter, which provide an extremely rigid connection between the platter, bearing, and tonearm support. This design eliminates the need for flat plates that can resonate and transmit vibrations, minimizing unwanted interference. Two main rods are joined in a T-shaped structure, ensuring outstanding mechanical stability.
The motor is housed in a separate brass tower specifically designed to dampen any vibrations generated during operation. Drive is transmitted via a precision-ground flat rubber belt from the motor pulley to the subplatter. At the heart of the rotation system lies a finely polished, fine-grain carbon steel bearing with a single-point contact. This is encased in a sleeve made from a resin/textile composite known for its excellent damping properties and non-resonant behavior.
The platter, made of solid aluminum and equipped with a top mat and bottom rubber damping insert, provides a stable and acoustically neutral platform for records. Since 2018, the platter has been supplied in a thicker 30 mm version, adding further mass and stability to the system. An acrylic lid, shaped to match the turntable’s original lines, protects both platter and tonearm while preserving the clean, distinctive look.
A 45 rpm adapter is included and can be simply placed over the 33 rpm pulley for quick speed changes. The turntable is compatible with various tonearms via pre-cut brass armboards, and allows precise vertical tracking angle (VTA) adjustment to accommodate any setup. The base can be further enhanced with an optional high-density plywood platform, which improves both acoustic performance and structural rigidity.
