Stabi XL2 Turntable

Stabi XL 2, is a further step in our bid to achieve the goal of perfect analogue sound. It represents the culmination of 20 years research, development and experience in the production of turntables and tonearms. Theoretically our aim was simple; to spin the record in the nearest possible way to the master and to enable the tonearm to emulate the cutter head.

The fine quality sound of the turntable is due to its massive construction. The base is of solid brass which is clamped together from two pieces and has good damping properties. The main shaft, which is 28mm in diameter, is fixed into this base. The platter is a sandwich construction of aluminium and acrylic plates screwed together in pre-stressed form to damp all unwanted vibration. Hard non-metallic material is used for the bearing which, together with a ruby ball, is lubricated in an oil bath to provide one point contact with minimum vibration and noise.

Two motors are mounted separately in their own heavy brass towers. Two pulleys via two belts give stable symmetrical drive to the platter. The electronic power supply generates controlled feed from a quartz to both motors in such a way that any vibration in the drive is minimized by the driving coils of each individual motor. A heavy brass and acrylic reflex action clamp provides additional damping of the vibration created by playback, as well as flattening warped records. The record is pressed securely to the platter mat, which is a semi-hard combination of rubber and textile.

The tonearm tower is a massive brass unit and the armboard can be exchanged to accommodate various tonearms. The mass of the tower gives structural and damping rigidity to the tonearm.

The optional VTA tower allows for VTA adjustment during normal use without loss of rigidity or azimuth. The movable part is supported via a linear ball bearing 30mm in diameter and 100mm in length which gives firm support while allowing VTA to be changed. Adjustments can be made in a range of 80mm, each turn of the knob representing 0.1mm precisely. A digital micrometer gives a readout in the range of 12mm at an exactitude of 0.01mm. These adjustments are repeatable. Additionally, a lever on the side of the tower allows for three basic positions, normal, a setting for thin records and higher for thicker records of 180 grams.

Stabi XL 2 can optionally be upgraded to four motor drive for added performance. This model is called Stabi XL 4 and has it's own special power supply.
