Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??


Looking for some commentary. Narrowed my search down to a few remaining tables, and these two are of interest. Wondering if anyone out there owns or has owned either and can comment?

If ~ $6k tables aren't too far out of line may I also throw the STST Motus DQ as another to investigate? Since I have an interest will just leave it at that :)

Still I'd go with the Stabi S and a Stogi arm there's just something about the synergy of a Kuzma table/arm combo IMO. 

I think both are great tables. Neither are head and shoulders better that the other.  But if you like to change things gradually over time, you want to be able to try different arms or carts, then Kuzma or Feickert, no question about it.

I have a Stabi R and my good friend has a P10 with a Lyra Atlas so I have experience with both companies.

One point I agree with @mijostyn in that I wouldn’t even think of using a Rega with a high end MC without the wally analysis and resulting shim set.

 

Anyone who has setup a cart and dialed in by ear knows that the extremely rough ’ shim under arm base ’ Rega method is not going to get you there. t least not in every instance..,
