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?

Yes the Kuzma is the more flexible and upgradable for sure it’s also a bit more $$. I believe it retails around 5800 with the external ps but without an arm but don’t quote me.

Yes you are correct..Not sure if that power supply regulator is necessary out of the gate but in the process of finding out. 

 

I am not sure one is really lights out better than the other when it comes to sound, just comes down to details of what works best. Having a hard time pulling myself off the upgrade path. But I do have a dealer who will sell me the P10 and give me a years worth of trade at full value if I don't like it

 

The P10 is tough to beat and a great end game table.  I came so close to pulling the trigger and going with this table last week. Watched every YouTube video I could find, auditioned at the local hifi dealer, etc. But...I know myself and know that I want to tinker or change things in the future such as the tonearm.  Ended up ordering a Dr. Feikert Trio (Upscale Audio) and the Kuzma 4Point9, way over my budget but cant take it with me. I planned to go with the Hana Umami Red with either the P10 or any other table and this is the cart I ordered for the Feikert.  Good luck with you decision.

Thanks! Do you have it all set up yet? How are you liking it? 

 

Yes this is my stopping point on the P10 just the fact you can't tinker with it later, almost zero upgrade path outside of another cart or isolation tinkering. How did you like the P10 when you listened to it? 

The Trio is a sweet table, you will enjoy that for many years. 

The arm on the Rega is way better than what comes on the S. No need to upgrade unless you want to spend $15 K. Wally will supply shims of just about any angle.

IMHO the two best tables Kuzma makes are the Ref 2 and the M. My favorite Kuzma arm is the 4 Point 9. The R has to be put on an isolation platform adding to the cost. Tables with a magnetic thrust bearing are quieter.
