Sota Cosmos tonearm?

Sorry if asking for an opinion offends you. I thought that was the purpose of this forum. I guess its just to let folks like you vent.

I use a V on mine and have tried others. I think this table will work well with just about anything. Id base my decision on my cartridge choice.

Trans-fi Terminator, perfect match for a Sota.

Stanwal,

No, I just either got really good deals or they came with other tables I have purchased at a good price. Some of them were broken and I put them back together. I seem to buy a couple of good tables a year and a few arms and cartridges at great prices. Thats the advantage of not needing to buy, you can grab a deal when you see it. But, I do have too much stuff now and need to cut back, which I have been doing, but I seem to have bought as many as I have sold. Ive also had 5 cartridges rebuilt by soundsmith. That is really a bargain if you can pick up the body for less than $100.
Since I have an SME 309, I'll probably put that on for now. You and RCCC seem to like the SME and Ive never had a problem with it.

I'd vote for the 309 too. Excellent solid arm and easy to setup so you know what you are getting always. But I would also get an armboard for the Hadcock because why not also have a unipivot to compare the SME to?
