Just wondering, if you'd plummed for the Kuzma digital psu or if you were just running it into the mains.
Kuzma Stabi/S 12", (LP12-bastard) DC motor and optical tacho psu, Benz LP, Paradise (phonostage). MB-Pro, Brooklyn dac and psu, Bruno Putzeys balanced pre, mod86p dual mono amps, Yamaha NS1000m
I have a Power Inspired Power Regenerator AG 1500 which I bought from Reffc a while ago - it provides a clean 240v ac at all times. Would there be a problem feeding the Kuzma from that rather than buying a new PSU? If it does, it would also give me the means to clean up the supply for my WTT Record Player...
Any thoughts? Am I missing something?

The Ag1500 will be a good start for a decent 50hz waveform, which is what you need.
You could use any of the following.
Hercules2/Mose low cost, switchable speed psu available as either a pcb only or a fully boxed unit.
Naim Armageddon, a big old transformer in a box which regulates the AC, you'll need to continue using the 45rpm adaptor for this. I still have one of these.
Linn Valhalla, single speed psu. (The Hercules is based on this)
Heed Orbit 1/2
and there's many other diy options available as well as the Kuzma options.
|Both the older Kuzma PSU and the newer digital display unit are both excellent, if somewhat overpriced IMO. But then I build my own.

heed owner wouldn't recommend it as his device is prone to overheating when used on stabi s in particular. i know some users who tried it and sold it. i've exchanged a few emails with zsolt huszti about this matter and he won't take any responsibility for heed PSU/stabi S use.
IMHO there is no need experiment here, kuzma PSU is no brainer.
however, it's really not that important to get a supreme performance from this arm/deck combination. i would say it's an icing on the cake but the cake is anyway fantastic.
