Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??

I am running an Airtight PC-7, formerly a Hana SL.

You can't go wrong with any of these tables....I just love the sound and aesthetics of the Kuzma. I use a butcher block below it on some hard rubber insulating balls...solid as a rock.

I am using a 12" tonearm, hence my reason for the Kuzma.

Hope this helps.

Seems to me there are a few core issues here that might need sorting. 

A: do you really need that particular dealer to define your home listening environment? (Or is the tail wagging the dog to some extent?) 

B: as good as the Rega P10 may be, it’s limiting 

C: the Kuzmas are expensive but they deliver a lot of value for the money. 

I’ve had a ‘crush’ on the P10 for a while, but I can’t live with a locked-in tonearm, especially at that price point. I’m too much of a tinkerer.

I recently bought a Kuzma Stabi R after deciding it was time to move on from my modded VPI Franken-table. I already own two isolation platforms that can work well, so that was an extra synergy. I guess my point is, if you can stretch your budget upwards, you might want to look higher up the Kuzma chain (the R) and think about how to involve your dealer on the ancillaries (as you mentioned).

The P10 works well in his vintage Marantz tube system. The Atlas works on his P10 without the need to alter the VTA.  He also uses an HRS isolation platform under the P10.

I agree with some of the above comments...the Rega arm is excellent and if you can live with it set up once and forget then this is the way to go.

If you want to experience other cartridges without  the hassle of shims then you need to go another route.....pretty simple. And yes having a dealer for support is great but if you are thinking of cartridges in the $1000's range then having your local dealer for that and set up is nice and get the table that causes your hear to jump
