KUZMA STABI R WORLD PREMIERE
Turntable specialists Kuzma premiered their new Stabi R turntable at the Munich High End show over the weekend. This new addition to its lineup is compact but can accommodate up to four tonearms.
The Stabi R is made from a solid block of aluminium with an internal electronic power supply. Drive is provided through a DC motor and a proprietary, non-flexible drive belt.
The main platter is an 8kg constrained sandwich design consisting of a layer of aluminium, acrylic, and finally another layer of aluminium. Kuzma says this minimises vibrations and maximises the damping effect of the platter itself and that of the LP.
That platter brings the total mass of the table up to 36kg.
The ruby ball minimises friction and noise within the thrust bearing and is supported on a special low noise compound material.
Moreover, the Stabi R is incredibly flexible and versatile in regards to tonearm fitting. It is possible to use up to four tonearms around the main platter as it is available in a double-wing format.
There are also a variety of colours and a wood finish available as options with a suggested retail price of around 7,000 Euro.
Franc Kuzma was on hand in Munich proudly explaining the features of his newest creation that is expected to start shipping around September 2018.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
