Kuzma tables/arms?

Here’s a line that while around a long time, seems to fly under the radar. I think it’s fair to say that their tables haven’t caught on the US. Their tonearms however, seem to get plenty of attention. I’m considering the Stabi S (PIPE BOMB) table, and a Kuzma arm. The latter either the normally partnered Stogi, or perhaps their 12" arm, simply called the 12" VTA. I have no specific question…. Just looking for any thoughts or experience with these products. I would run an EMT Tsd-15, or the new Tsd-75.

I have interpreted "Organic" as Natural. Someone correct me if I am wrong about this! 
I bought a Kuzma Stabi S, Ref 12" w/VTA tower, platter upgrade, and outboard PS at Axpona in April.
 I love it! Had a Dynavector XX2 Mk II mounted. Just unravels complex passages, soundstage is huge, imaging precise, plays above above its price!!!! Kuzma service ( forgot to pack tool kit) came promptly direct to my house.. So far,So Good. Excellent workmanship and build. Ergonomics of this setup is a joy to use. It makes me want the Stabii M. Yes, i would like an easy to use dust cover! The (3) tables that I am considering are: Stabi M w/ 4pt or the 14" arm that is available, Kronos w/Helena arm, Tech Das III w/ Graham arm. Don't think you would get "buyers remorse" with a Kuzma. Best to everyone on this Journey.

The German logician/mathematician Frege differenciated between

''sense'' (say 'meaning') and reference such that different meaning

may refer to the same thing. If I remember well our members

Dertonarm and Syntax described ''organic'' as ''physical presence''.

This ''quality'' than was ascribed to the FR-7 series carts. I needed

10 years to grasp the ''meaning'' and am now a proud owner

of an FR-7fz.

Ok with fjn04's description for "organic". That's it (for me).

Will also ad....  the body of the note and decay must be fully represented, along with leading edge. Don't want any of this skeleton like, leading edge emphasis with no body. Just even handed, fully realized notes.

Please help this indecisive guy make a final decision. All I'm sure about is I'm going Black on the Stabi S. Here are the things I have to decide on. I can go for the 12" version of the table, which of course would allow me to chose any 12" arm in the future. This would include the Kuzma 12" standard (Non-VTA version) tonearm. As many know, the 12" (VTA version) can be mounted on a standard size table. So I could also do the standard non 12"version of the table, and with this, do the 12" VTA. Did you get all that (-:
