Nice points @mijostyn . The Stabi M is now around 24k without arm so I'd still be suggesting a Stabi R with 4Point9 and either the minusk or a Vibraplane at around 3k. As I've stated earlier I've listened to a Stabi R and it was a memorable experience. It has become my dream table.
Help me pick a new turntable
I am looking for opinions on the following turntables. If you have comparisons, that would be great, but mostly I would like to hear your experiences with any of the three. I know they are all very different approaches to turntable design. Thanks in advance.
- Technics SL-1000R
- Clearaudio Innovation wood, either a 9 or 12 inch arm
- Acoustic Signature Hurricane Neo with TA-2000 9 inch arm

I’ve experienced a number of situations in people’s listening rooms & Audio Shows where a treasured phono system delivered less than optimal results due to a lack of proper isolation. |
The AS NEO turntables come with a 15 year warranty...none better in the industry! I had a custom dust cover made for my Hurricane which complements it quite well. Funny how some people can "opine" about a product without ever hearing it, much less knowing so little about it! The AS tables come with a leather mat. Same people also like to shill for certain products. ; ) |
@rsf507 , You are right! The Stabi R With a MinusK would be excellent. You might also look at the Ref 2. It has a fine built in suspension. Hot News Flash!! Kuzma is going after SAT! Frank is releasing the Safir 9 a $25K sapphire tubed tonearm with 4 point style bearings. It is an all out attack on the state of the art and it hits all the important attributes a good arm should have. It is just a bit pricey but, look at the thing, it has a sapphire arm tube! |
