Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Still I'd go with the Stabi S and a Stogi arm there's just something about the synergy of a Kuzma table/arm combo IMO.

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.

Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers
How about Joseph Audio Pulsar2? I've not heard them but have heard their bigger brother the Perspectives twice now and they sounded amazing. From reviews the Pulsars sound similar but without the low end.  
Rank your least favorite. Trying to avoid Al poor purchase.
So have heard the PS Audio Stellar Phono and thought it sterile and lacking detail. Personally I find the Gold Note PH-10 so versatile and sonically wonderful and at $2000 retail a bagain at its asking price. I guess we all hear things differently.   
Stylus gauge recommendations ?
