Stabi M

Designed with an unmistakable air of studio-grade reliability, the Stabi M serves as a statement piece in any reference system. Its construction is defined by immense mass, utilising solid aluminium blocks and plates to create a rigid, self-damping structure that effectively dissipates energy before it can interfere with the delicate signals being extracted from the vinyl groove. At the heart of the Stabi M is a uniquely sophisticated drive system that combines the high-torque benefits of an idler drive with the sonic purity of a belt-drive. A powerful three-phase DC motor, encapsulated within a massive brass housing, drives the 12 kg platter to full speed in just two seconds. This combination of force and control provides unparalleled speed stability, resulting in an explosive, dynamic presentation that remains composed under the most demanding musical passages. The suspension system is equally thoughtful, featuring an elastically underhung main frame isolated from the outer structure via large elastic dampers. This allows for fine-tuned horizontal levelling of the platter and tonearm assembly while providing robust isolation from environmental feedback. Accommodating tonearms up to 12 inches in length under a massive, vibration-resistant acrylic lid, the Stabi M offers both the versatility and the sonic authority expected of a definitive flagship turntable.
