TT upgrade for me

LOL......I thought about it.

Although, if you have springy floors, Sota may be better choice. Especially if you jump around with a baton! The 401 excels on concrete floor.

@jbuhl Is this for the wine bar? If so, the Sota may be the right choice. It is impervious to banging, thumping, vibration and knocks.

Especially if you jump around with a baton! 

BINGO!

Surface is purdy solid and so is floor.  One nice thing about 60 year old house.   What about the SOTA Moon Beam?  Thats in my budget.

The SOTA Sapphire’s isolation isn’t just about footfalls, but also about its overall sonic performance. Nothing phases it. Quiet as all get out. That said, in my 90 year old house, the isolation from the floor is much appreciated as well.

I’m sure the Moon Beam is a fine table, but not a Sapphire.

I bought my SOTA table used for the cost of the Moon Beam, then spent the same amount on an arm, and the same amount again on the cartridge.....so 3x the Moon Beam cost with cartridge. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a complete Sapphire for less, but you gotta keep your eyes peeled.

For $1,200 there is a lot of competition out there. You might look at the MoFi Studio Deck.
