I’ll admit that I was skeptical of the design at first (I kept look at the ’table and thinking, “Where’s the rest of it?”), but the Kuzma’s quiet, clear, and natural sound soon won me over, as did its ability to tap the enormous performance potential of top-tier phono cartridges — something not all ’table/arm combos in this price range can do. But maybe the most telling observation of all was that, when I started spinning LPs on the Kuzma, I never wanted my listening sessions to end, which is why I gave the Stabi S/Stogi S a TAS Golden Ear Award.
