VIII. TRANSPORT AND PACKING

Preparing a functioning turntable for short transport.

You may wish to transport your turntable for short distances in a car (preferably on a seat). In which case the following precautions should be taken:

1.remove platter and place it its box. Remove belt.

2.remove tonearm counterweight and secure arm rest with tape, elastic band or foam insert.

3.remove subplatter, clean oil and put in in its box. See Note

4.disconnect cable to PS and turntable.

5.Put some foam between subchassis and baseplate

6.Tilt of turntable can be only cca 15°, due oil spills.

For longer transport we suggest to put baseplate and subchassis also in original boxes.

When you take off subchassis suspension oil wells are automatically sealed. In case the base plate is inadvertently held verticaly or upside down for more t han a moment, it should be then left for 12 hours in horisontal position before use. Of course first you must remove oil from the shaft and be shure that ruby ball which is not fixed is protected.

NOTE: it is possible that ruby ball stays in side of subplatter. If that happened, shake subplatter and catch ball.

This turntable is designed for serious music enthusiasts who seek the highest fidelity in vinyl playback.

One of the standout features of the Kuzma Stabi Reference Turntable is its robust construction. The turntable is built with a heavy, inert chassis that minimizes vibration and resonance, ensuring that every nuance of the music is captured. The combination of aluminum and specially formulated composite materials provides a solid foundation that significantly reduces external interference.

The Stabi Reference employs a unique dual-level design, consisting of a top mass and a sub-chassis. This design helps to isolate the platter from any extraneous vibrations, which could compromise audio quality. The platter itself is made from an exceptionally high-quality acrylic, providing a stable surface for the vinyl record. This material not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to the turntable's superior performance by reducing unwanted reflections.

In terms of drive technology, the Kuzma Stabi Reference utilizes a high-torque, low-noise AC synchronous motor. This motor is meticulously engineered to ensure consistent speed stability, a critical factor for achieving accurate pitch and timing during playback. Furthermore, the turntable features a sophisticated electronic speed control system that allows users to easily switch between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds with precision.

A significant technological innovation in the Stabi Reference is the incorporation of Kuzma’s proprietary magnetic bearing system. This system ensures that the spindle is virtually frictionless, resulting in an incredibly smooth rotation and reduced wear over time. This translates into an extended lifespan for both the turntable and the records being played.

The Kuzma Stabi Reference Turntable also supports a variety of tonearms, accommodating those who seek to personalize their setup. The armboard is designed to allow easy adjustment and precise alignment, making it a versatile option for users who may prefer different tonearm configurations.
