Kuzma Stabi M with 4 point
Franc Kuzma revealed officially this year his latest turntable Stabi M. Trust me, pictures don't do it a justice. You might get a false idea about the actual size and elegance of new Stabi M. This is one massive and uniquely classical looking machine. Even XL look seems to act smaller with Stabi M on display.
Stabi M have unique feature that will have a remote and it have 3.5 second until start so you won't miss any beat. Impressive. 60kg's. Sides panels will be up to the choice. This is a impressive design with specially designed non resonant cover, that differ from traditional ones. All the cover panels are mounted with a non resonant insert. In this way cover is less of a resonant transducer of standing and air resonances.
Like always Franc Kuzma expertly combine simple, yet when studied in close expertly chosen solution to the ultra high end reproduction of vinyl music. We'll try to schedule for exclusive test of this mighty machine.
To conclude and convey my thoughts; "This is a man machine." An an along future retro!

STABI M
This is a modern turntable designed in a classic turntable style with the
emphasis on providing the best possible
record playback.
The turntable's size allows even 12
inch tonearms to be mounted and covered with its massive acrylic dust cover on spring hinges . The dust cover
is constructed not to pick up any vibration from loud music.
The turntable is
assembled from various solid
parts of aluminium making the
construction rigid and absorbing vibration. On the outer sides of the main
structure are solid aluminium plates,
which give the turntable mass and
further increase structural rigidity and damping.
The covered spikes within the legs allow
horizontal levelling of the whole turntable.
The top aluminium plate under the platter, has an elastically underhung main
frame and motor system below which
is
insulated from the outer main
turntable's structure via four big elastic
dampers, allowing for fine
horizontal levelling of the platter and tonearm.
The platter is constructed from two pieces of 40mm thick aluminium with an acrylic damping plate sandwiched between making a
very inert support for records.
The bearing has an inverted shaft
with a ruby ball which gives precise, low noise rotation to a supporting subplatter.
The main frame carrying the main bearing and massive aluminium armboard, is bolted together from solid aluminium blocks
forming a unique damped rigid support.
The motor system: The DC
motor itself is specially mounted inside a brass cup and aluminium plate. This motor assembly is encapsulted
and suspended inside a massive brass motor housing. Thus the main
frame is doubly insulated from the motor system and yet still maintains
rigidity, allowing for max torque
momentum to be transmitted via the stiff plastic belt to the subplatter. This
gives the platter a high torque drive
with the positive properties of belt and idler drives, while minimising
the negatives one.
The external power supply controls the
DC motor with precise freqency and it has very fine speed adjustments. The control panel on the front plate of the turntable has start/stop and speed change functions. The full
speed of platter on 33rpm is reached in just over 3 seconds.
