Stabi SD

The STABI SD is a development of the original, minimalist STABI S design, based on exactly the same, carefully chosen materials and overall structure.

The dynamic elements are unchanged, the SD using the proven damped aluminium platter and hybrid record mat, close tolerance, ultra-quiet bearing, AC motor and precision ground, flat belt of the original design: a design so good that it found its way into some seriously highend systems, systems where users wanted to fit a second tonearm, to run a different cartridge or for dedicated mono replay. Extending the cross beam of the solid brass T-shaped chassis has allowed us to mount that second tonearm, while maintaining the integrity and construction of the original design, creating a solution that is both modular and upgradable.

The SD chassis option is compatible with both 9” and 12” arms in any combination. It also uses the same externally mounted, mass-loaded motor housing as the S, making it compatible with the optional external PSU. But best of all, a basic STABI S can be upgraded by stages, over time, to a full SD with external supply and two tonearms, allowing your turntable and record replay to grow and develop with your system.

Note: tonearm effective length(s) must be specified at the time of ordering (although this too can be changed if circumstances demand).
