The Stabi R is not the Kuzma to get. You want the Stabi Ref 2 or the Stabi M.@mijostyn
Where did you hear a comaprison of the 3 Kuzma TT's or is this a fantasy in your head like many of your posts.
@garkat62
In actual fact the Stabi R and the Stabi M are the new generation Kuzmas with the new DC motor and controller. I know of at least one Kuzma owner who has "upgraded" from the Stabi Ref 2 to the newer Stabi R with a 4Point and is very happy.
The Stabi R uses the same motor/platter/bearing from the M and is exceptional value for money. Yes the M is better than the R at a much higher price point.
Also note that Kuzma now has an active antivibration platform in their portfolio that you could add to the R.
Personally I prefer the Kuzma to the Technics - for me the Technics are too digital sounding - its like like going to the dentist.
