Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??


Looking for some commentary. Narrowed my search down to a few remaining tables, and these two are of interest. Wondering if anyone out there owns or has owned either and can comment?

Hi

I woned a pretty "modded" Rega P9 with the 2000 arm, now I own the Kuzma Stabi s12 with  Ref. 313 arm (12") ....it is way ahead of the Rega for me. It has been used with a Hana SL and ways excellent and now an Airtight PC-7...and is sublime.

 

The P10 is an excellent table but only if you want to set up and forget...and use Rega cartridges....as has been pointed out shims are an issue....but you can get it set up correctly. The Kuzma for me is just way more "table" on every aspect and I really enjoy Franck Kuzma's whole business model

I am running an Airtight PC-7, formerly a Hana SL.

You can't go wrong with any of these tables....I just love the sound and aesthetics of the Kuzma. I use a butcher block below it on some hard rubber insulating balls...solid as a rock.

I am using a 12" tonearm, hence my reason for the Kuzma.

Hope this helps.

I agree with some of the above comments...the Rega arm is excellent and if you can live with it set up once and forget then this is the way to go.

If you want to experience other cartridges without  the hassle of shims then you need to go another route.....pretty simple. And yes having a dealer for support is great but if you are thinking of cartridges in the $1000's range then having your local dealer for that and set up is nice and get the table that causes your hear to jump
