Up for sale is my Kuzma Stabi S12 deck with Thomas Schick 12” tonearm and new Ortofon 2M bronze cartridge. It was bought as new old stock in the last year and it has only been used for about ten hours. I have a one-piece drive belt from Mike P. and the original belt, which costs north of £120. The dealer feels that there is no finer turntable below 15k. I preferred it to a Stabi S / Stogi S combination. I have never had a turntable this good in my system and it should be an end-game deck for someone. I have had separate interest in the tonearm, so I might split if there is interest in all thre... read more
A used Kuzma Stabi S 12 at £2,695 looks fair to strong rather than ambitious. New-listing and dealer pricing puts the 12-inch version around £3,880 or roughly £2,780 before VAT in Europe, while completed used examples for the broader Stabi S family commonly land around £1,900–£2,700 in the secondary market, so this asking price sits right in the sensible zone for an excellent-condition deck.
It’s a worthwhile buy because the Stabi S platform is a properly serious, no-nonsense Kuzma: rigid, unsuspended, heavy-brass construction with a reputation for speed stability, drive, and an unforced, high-resolution presentation. The 12-inch setup is especially appealing if you already own a matching arm or want the extra vinyl-friendly geometry, and a clean example in excellent condition is the sort of turntable that can stay in a system for years without feeling like a stepping stone.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kuzma emerged from Slovenia in 1982, founded by Franc Kuzma, a mechanical engineer whose passion for music and experience with acoustic transducers drove him to craft exceptional vinyl playback. Born in what was then Yugoslavia, the company debuted with the Stabi turntable—a belt-drive design prioritizing stability and user-friendliness—followed swiftly by the Stogi tonearm, embodying rigidity in its Slovenian-named essence. Early international acclaim came via a glowing 1985 review in Hi-Fi News & Record Review, propelling Kuzma from domestic dominance to global recognition.
The brand specializes exclusively in analog hi-fi essentials: premium turntables like the minimalist Stabi S, the innovative Stabi XL, and behemoths such as the 340-pound XL Air; precision tonearms including the Stogi and four-point models; and latterly, phono cartridges alongside select accessories. Kuzma eschews amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on no-compromise mechanical ingenuity for pure record reproduction.
Kuzma commands reverence in the high-end market as a boutique leader in premium analog gear, with turntables spanning thousands to tens of thousands of euros. Hailed as a "masterpiece" maker by industry observers, it garners awards from top audiophile publications and sustains a cult following among discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide, its Slovenian craftsmanship synonymous with stiffness, resonance control, and crystalline fidelity.
