Kuzma Stabi S? Need a small footprint turntable

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)!

SME 10 can not adjust speed precisely I've tried. Look at the Brinkmann Bardo, seems like a good table with no frills just a great DD design.

I'm listening to my Stabi S/Stogi S with a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood as I write this and can whole heartedly endorse this table. As Elizabeth points out, it isn't THAT small as a matter of practicality and still takes up a full audio shelf, but its attractive and sounds great.

Elizabeth, are you suggesting the arm fluid should be filled below the 'fill line' in the cup?

Nonsense. The SME 10 speed control is absolutely precise.
