The Kuzma Stabi M is a premium turntable combining classic design with modern engineering to deliver exceptional vinyl playback. It features a massive 60 kg solid aluminum chassis with vibration-absorbing construction and a 12 kg platter made from two 30-40 mm thick aluminum plates sandwiching an acrylic damping layer for inert support. The bearing uses an inverted shaft with a ruby ball for precise, low-noise rotation. The motor is a single three-phase DC motor housed in a brass cup and aluminum plate, suspended inside a brass motor housing for isolation and high torque drive via a flat plastic belt. The turntable supports 33, 45, and 78 rpm speeds, with an external power supply providing precise frequency control and fine speed adjustments. It accommodates tonearms up to 12 inches, with an included armboard, clamp, mat, and a massive acrylic dust cover on spring hinges designed to resist vibration from loud music. The chassis includes leveling spikes and elastic dampers for fine horizontal leveling of the platter and tonearm. Optional armboards and front panel colors (brass, wood) are available. The Stabi M is noted for its rigid construction, vibration damping, and sonic precision, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking high fidelity and stability in vinyl playback.
