Kuzma Stabi Ref 2 Turntable
The Stabi Ref was first introduced in 1992.
It is constructed from two plates, each made using a sandwich structure of two 10 mm aluminum layers separated by an acrylic plate, all clamped together with pre-stressed, non-magnetic stainless steel screws. The turntable chassis (top plate) is suspended by large springs submerged in silicone oil, achieving a low resonance of 2.2 Hz, which effectively damps the movement of the springs themselves. The main base (bottom plate) is supported by three aluminum and stainless steel spikes. The top plate can be easily leveled using four adjustment knobs. When the top plate is lifted (for transport), the silicone suspension reservoirs are automatically sealed.

Two motors in a diamond drive configuration power the subplatter, which features an inverted bearing with a ruby ball. Both the ball and the sliding ring have their own oil baths, providing lubrication and damping of any vibrations within the bearing.
The platter is also built using a clamped sandwich construction, combining the rigidity of aluminum with the damping properties of acrylic. This results in an exceptionally stable, non-resonant support for records. The mat and special clamp are made using a similar construction and further help control vibration. The armboard also follows the same sandwich design principle.
In 2009, we introduced a new power supply called the PS AC (also known as PS REF 2). This power supply is the only difference between the Stabi Ref 2 and the original Stabi Ref model.
