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?

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..,

J.R Boisclair at Wally Tools offers it. You send in your cart and they determine deviations for sra/zenith/azimuth for your cart and make a shim with corrective angles that mounts between cart and arm. 

 

For many full adjustable arms this might be accomplished in other ways but not with the Rega.
