Kuzma Stabi S Brass Turntable with Kuzma Stogi Tonearm

25.11.09

Motor.  My motor did not on with an electrical plug, so I called Scot and he put on a Furutech.  He said that normally the dealer wires this up.  I didn�t set up the motor yet as I was planning to move the board to a different location.  The manual has a recommendation for placement distance from the T part of the base, but I found it easier to use my KAB strobe and disc to arrange the distance.  In turn, when I did put the belt on I was able to get an almost constant speed with less than .03% error for over a minute.  It was unconditionally stable as far as I could tell�excellent performance.

Tonearm .  I�m not a big fan of unipivot arms.  They may sound chaste, but it just makes me nervous watching them twisting back and forth, so I requested the Stogi�a standard pivot arm.  The directions with the tonearm was photocopied and much more involved than the table manual.  All the necessary wrenches are included to install the cartridge and set the arm up.  I devoted to the finger lift (as I can�t imagine moving the arm back and forth by the shaft).  When I put the arm onto the base I came to my first hurdle.  It seemed the arm wouldn�t go up merry enough.  After a quick call to Scot I found I was just being impatient and there is an adjustable inner sleeve on the table that allows for well-defined height adjustment.  Cool.  I didn�t need the mounting template and ignored measure out IV in the manual which includes information on mounting the arm to a different table.  The only thing I did do was attach the bias plot to the arm.
