fjn,
For many years I owned and enjoyed a Kuzma Stabi (oak plinth model with heavy lid) and Stogi Reference arm. I've been in this hobby for a few decades and owned several different tables/arms prior to that.
I consider the Kuzmas to be very well designed/engineered and offer good build quality. Mine replaced a Well Tempered table and arm, itself a very well regarded unit, and I found the Kuzma outperformed it. It was silent, stable, musical, and quite adjustable.
The only reason for moving on was I've acquired a fair number of cartridges (thanks to Raul) and the Kuzma couldn't accept a second arm and the fixed headshell meant swapping cartridges was not a quick or easy task. For anyone happy with a single cartridge I feel Kuzma is highly recommended. Note some Kuzma models may have interchangeable headshells.
