Kuzma Stabi Reference Turntable specifications

Kuzma Turntables is renowned in the audiophile community for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative technology, and the Kuzma Stabi Reference Turntable exemplifies the brand's commitment to precision and performance. 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.

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.
