My experience with the Sota Reflex clamp differs from @mijostyn's and also extends to us on a Technics SP10mk2. When I owned the SP10, I was lucky to try about a dozen clamps and weights borrowed from a number of friends in my local audio club. I tried HRS, Stillpoints, Michelle, Funk and many others. Over a course of a month or two I concluded the Reflex the best match with my non-suspended SP10 in use with my copper/aluminum custom platter(from TVT of Vietnam). The Michelle was the best of the very low cost options. For the Nova 6, it came with Reflex clamp, and I haven't had any opportunity to A/B vs. others, but I find it easy to use and effective.
@rauliruegas, hey buddy! Regarding the "lack of dynamics" comment, what vintage/series Sota and model were you referring to? I ask only because I find the current models better sounding in that regard than the once very popular Series III & IV. I attribute this to the aluminum bracing, the new mat material and perhaps to the improved speed accuracy provided by the "Condor"(Phoenix engineered) controller.
...and while I agree w/ your SME adoration, for this OP, it's double his budget, unless you care to pay half his cost. Cheers,
Spencer
