"We at Kuzma Ltd. have been studying the theory and practise of analogue playback since 1975", states the Kuzma website (www.kuzma.si). "[We are] continually extracting more information from what is nowadays called an 'inferior medium'. There is no known limit to the extent of recoverable information compared to the limits of digital playback. This makes analogue replay closer to the human ear and brain."

Stabi S is the 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 tone arm 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 tower which dampens 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 which has excellent damping, non resonant properties. With a mat on top and rubber insert underneath, the platter provides a stable non-resonant platform for records which, in addition, can be clamped.

The whole turntable is supported by an optional high density plywood plate. An acrylic cover protects platter and tone arm while reflecting the turntable's original shape. A 45rpm adaptor is provided and is simply slipped over the 33rpm pulley. The turntable can accommodate various tonearms by the use of different brass bases and it allows for VTA adjustment on any tone arm mounted.
