IV. ADJUSTMENT

1.Positioning turntable and power supply

a.suitable surfaces are:

-if floors are solid, a solid welded table, sand filled or purpose built turntable table

-if floor are not solid - welded shelf

-if neither of these options are available, avoid placing on heavy bulky furniture and place on strong but lightweight surface

b.When carrying turntables tilt of up to 15° should not cause any oil spillage. But due to the weight of turntable we suggest platter and belt be removed. If you lift up and remove subchassis as well then the silicon oil will be sealed, but not oil in bearings.

2.Levelling of turntable

a.Ensure that turntable support is horisontal

b.level subchassis according to instructions in assembly no. 8.

3.Fine speed adjustment

The fine adjustment mechanism is controlled by a switch inside the power supply. The speed is adjusted in small stages according to the position of the switches. Adjustment is possible in plus minus 0.4 % in 0.05. steps.

You will need a plastic or wooden tootpick or stick ie. not metal. a. turn power supply upside down.

b. remove front right rubber (ie. on opposite side to speed selector). This gives access to switch.

c. place strobe disc on turntable and switch to 33 rpm. By observing disc, any speed deviation can be noted, but be aware of fluctuation in mains frequency.

d. consult table and according to speed error choose correct setting on switch by pushing from on to off position by toothpick. This is largely a matter of trial and error.

e. 45 rpm will be automaticly corrected. Turntable is set already in factory for 33 and

45rpm.

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. 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.

Overall, the Kuzma Stabi Reference Turntable is a masterpiece of engineering and design, offering unparalleled sound quality. Its robust build, advanced technologies, and customizable features make it a top choice among high-end audiophiles, setting a new standard for vinyl playback that is hard to surpass.
