Calling all Sota fans.

Mark Dohmann made a comment that if he was to buy a turntable for $20000 he said it would be a Sota, so is this table a great buy and is he right on his comment? There are so many tables out there, direct drive, belt drive ect, that sound great to many so why is the Sota in the same ball park as Techdas, Technics, Kuzma, TW Acustic and others, is it really as good as the other big guns with the right arm?
Thanks.

Yes it is Jim, and glad I took your advice and purchased my older SOTA Sapphire III. Could not be happier with it. Great recommendation and advice, and will always the thankful to your guidance.

Really, all things considered, zero issues with it compared to my old Kenwood table and inexpensive Pro-Ject that followed it getting back into vinyl after many many years. The SOTA beats the heck out of both.

@cleeds , Thanx. 

All you hear are glowing reviews from Sota Owners. Except from lewm,
He did not like his. I think it was a speed instability he did not like.

The sota tables have survived the test of time which says a lot about their sound and quality because usually the life span for a company in the high end is ten years, but when a company makes it over forty years, that is saying something about the product.

I now know Sota tables are really good, so has anyone had a Kuzma, Techdas, Technics or TW Acustic table and sold or traded it for a Sota table because the Sota sounded better? that is the question I should have asked when I started this discussion. Tough question but if the Sota is better then the tables above the question needs to be asked.
