Heard all three in the same system - SOTA easily has the most potential, and sounds the best of those 3. Also the isolation from footfalls etc with the Sota is far far superior. Its a no brainer.
Turntable Decision
So, I want to try a spring isolated turntable. Considering a SOTA Sapphire, Michell Gyro SE or Orbe, or used Linn Sondek LP12 (90's edition). Will be in one of two systems: Herron phono pre-Conrad Johnson pre- Pass amp - B&W speakers; or Parasound Halo JC3+ phono pre, Raven Osprey integrated, Harbeth speakers.

My bias is the SOTA because i have ( ugh this dates me… ) something like 35 + years experience, happy experience. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3803#&gid=1&pid=12 If you are thinking new, best order and get in line. Buddy just ordered w Eclipse and i think it is 5 months or so to delivery. A used table, i would and did have routed to factory for inspection and a host of potential upgrades. My other table is a Brinkman on a Bardo on an HRS base. Anyway i can help, just reach out. jim |
