Technics or Kuzma turntable.


My next turntable has come down to this, a Technics SP-10R with a acoustand plinth and Kuzma 11 inch 4 point arm or a Kuzma Stabi R with the 11 inch Kuzma 4 point arm. If anyone has any experience with these two table and have heard them both I would like to know what your opinions are on the sonic differences between them.
Thanks.

I see strong opinions on Kuzma and Technics tables here. Some say the belt drive tables have more layering of the sound stage and are more spacious then direct drive tables. Some say the direct dirves are more dry sounding then belt tables but on the other hand speed stability are in the direct drives favor so I guess it all comes down to choices.
I really enjoy your comments and it helps to hear what people think about these two tables because I will not have a chance to hear the Technics SP-10R in a Acoustand plinth or a Kuzma table before I buy one because of the distance I will have to travel to listen to one.
Thanks for your opinions.
Thanks Dover for the reply, I hear the Technics tables have a exciting leading edge with lots of impact and Franc Kuzma tries to intragrate the best of idler, belt and DD into his tables so I hope he is right because I have yet to hear one.
I am taking every thing into account all of you have said about both tables. After all that has been said both tables are good to go and if I get the Kuzma I plan to put it on a HRS M3X2 isolation base as I have talked to Mike at HRS and he knows how to get the best sound out of almost any table with his bases. Yes Brinkmann is also a very good table.
Thanks again.
