Who here owns their ultimate/dream/"grail" turntable and what is it?
It should be a very short thread, most people don't own or even know what their ultimate/dream/"grail" turntable is until they try it.
I do own mine after trying many tables and know I don't need better. I'm also greedy because I have 4 of them and 3 are in my system. I'v had 6 over the years gradually buying different series tables that also had different performance parts and aesthetics. Mixing and matching parts in comparison. All the while trying 5 different arms and 4 MC cartridges. I still have and buy other tables that are also very nice. Mostly because I want to try them or like the looks, however as many tables I'v used and have they will not bump the SOTA off the perch.
SOTA Star Sapphire....SME Series V arm......Sumiko Blackbird cartridge.
I'll also add it brings me pleasure that many members here read what I have posted about this table over the years. They ask for help in buying and setting up and then come to the same conclusion as I, that they are now done looking for a better table.[/QUOTE
I'll second Dan on that one! I've tried many tables over the years and finally completed my search for ultimate satisfaction with the Sota Sapphire. With Dan's recommendation , chose the Blackbird as well.
