Offered is „Stabi reference 2“ by Kuzma as second-hand device from the category „Record Player Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 982668274 ends on 18.11.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
Fair to slightly strong value: €8,200 lands a bit under the €8,500 asking on one recent EU listing and below current retail in the €12,617 range, so this does not read overpriced for a Stabi Reference 2 in good shape.
What makes it appealing is the platform itself: Kuzma’s Reference line is a serious, well-regarded mass-loaded deck with the kind of stability, scale, and low-noise background that high-end arm/cart setups thrive on. If this is the bare chassis in clean condition, the upside is real because these decks hold value and are usually bought by people who plan to keep them; just make sure the package includes the armboard/fitment you need, since the arm is often sold separately and missing accessories can matter more than cosmetic wear.
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.
