Sota Sapphire what cables?

The Sapphire is a major upgrade from the RP1; you will be very happy.  You don't say which arm you have on it, but I've had very good success with Cardas Golden Reference.  It wasn't horribly expensive (~$400 new) and is very neutral to my ears with my XX 2 Mk II.

Welcome to the Sota family and happy listening!

My brother has had a Sapphire for 25 years....he dropped it on my system and it blew me away. He wouldn't sell it to me so I just bought one.

Don't fall for what the "golden ears" crowd says! I have the Monster M1000 IC and it sounds fine! I feel no urge to replace it with something more costly!

That is so funny! Why is it that audiophiles who choose to employ highend cables in their Music Reproduction Systems don't ridicule those who don't agree with them the way the those who buy cheap cables insult them. You don't read here about someone with Nordost cables saying "Don't fall for what the deaf crowd says! I have the Nordost Odin 2 and it sounds fine! I feel no urge to replace it with a cheap flimsy cable!" Why is that why do the cheapskates act with such underlying disgust with those who choose to purchase more expensive equipment isn't that odd!

dude
any SOTA is a fine table
start off with the monsters
establish a relationship with a dealer and borrow a reasonable priced set of cables and let your ears decide....
enjoy the music
my brother got my SOTA 30 years ago....lucky B !!!!!!
