Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable

Point of clarification. Dhcod is correct, the Stabi S is a plinthless, small-footprint table. The Stabi mentioned by Elizabeth is a standard sized oak plinth model with a heavy oak and plate glass lid. But I believe hers is also a Stabi S.

From the Kuzma website I see they also offer a Stabi SD.

I've owned a Stabi (not S) with a Stogi Reference arm for many years and based upon its design and construction (leading to fine performance) I would not hesitate to recommend any Kuzma product.

The Basis 1400, 2000 and 2001 tables are very compact and excellent performers. also, if you like vintage, the Empire 208 is excellent.

SME 10 should also be on your list

Good listening

Another recommendation for the SME Model 10. The footprint is the same size as an lp record and only the armboard and stylus guard protrudes. I've owned one since 2001 and it has always been superb and never put a foot wrong.

Dhcod: You could also consider the direct-drive Brinkmann Bardot, which is structurally similar to the Stabi S in that it has a minimalist plinth (I don't consider either to be plinthless).

Turntable Weights is advertising that they have a pre-owned Bardot for sale. Wish I had the money (smile)!
