Calling all Sota fans.

On mijostyn advice I purchased a Cosmos with vacuum and had a Kuzma 4 point sent to Donna et al to fashion a board to fit…it did take a few months back in 2020 but well worth it…I am listening with a Clearaudio Jubilee and ARC 3 phono. I couldn’t be happier it’s solid as a vault and if a train drove through my house it would not affect the SOTA. So IMHO you can’t go wrong with a Cosmos but definitely include the vacuum…warping is a non issue. Donna Et al couldn’t have been more accommodating and can set up most anyway you need. 

Don’t you think that when Doehmann finally develops a vacuum hold down system, he will add $20,000 to the price? I do. You are probably looking at a $90,000 turntable with vacuum. By the way, when my friend decided to sell his helix, I could’ve purchased it for $25 or $30,000, but I declined, because I am quite happy with what I have.

Jay, where do you live? There’s a train coming through any minute now. Pop your fave LP on the old Cosmos and tell us how it all works.

Hi Lewn:
May I ask what turntable replaced the Dohmann in your friend's system?

Lewm the Chattanooga choo choo just rolled through…no problem but of course having a cement floor and cement pedestal doesn’t hurt 😎
