Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin


I went to one of our Ears and Beers parties this past weekend and got a chance to hear a SOTA table and WOW what a nice sound!
Now he has an SME 4 arm with a Clear Audio Signature cart and I will be only running a Aurum Beta S Clear Audio cart with a Grado Signature arm but if I can get even in the ball aprk of his sound I will be thrilled, I am stilled impressed with how isolated the table was to external noise, banging on the table could not be heard in the speakers even slighly, and the vac and clamp made notable improovements in the sound. His SOTA has avery nice controlled tight but dynamic sound that really let vinyl shine against digital.
Well I just hope mine sounds close to as good as my friends, if so I should be a very happy camper, the table may be up and running this weekend (fingers crossed)

sirspeedy,

Thanks for the advice. The intermat material on top of my platter does not appear to be glued on very well and peels back easily.

Worth a try.
Not only are SOTA tables superb, but the responsiveness and service from the Sota people is impeccable. I am assuming this table will last forever, and looks great, too. (Cosmos with vacuum)
well I got it up and running, all smiles here! It is about 85% of what I would like, but more adjustments should dial it in greaT.
Chad-- Great news! I'd love to hear your system sometime. By the time I got back from a little league coaches meeting it was too late to call back. Keep me posted on any upcoming ears and beers events.
