Dear all,
I have a question about Sota Star Sapphire III turntable operation. I just acquired the turntable and a SME Series 3 tone arm yesterday and I have the following questions:
1. Since the turntable does not have the "Cue" and "Reject" button, I guess every time I play a record I have to press the "On/Off button, right?
2. Will this repeated action (pressing the On/Off button every time I play a new record) affect the life of the On/Off button?
3. Is the SME Series 3 arm a manual arm that require manual lift after playing all tracks on each side?
4. I know the Sota is a very good turntable but it may not for me. If I have to look for a semi-automatic or fully automatic turntable that is compatible with the Sota, what are the options? Or shall I stick with the Sota and learn how to deal with the "inconvenience"
5. With $200 budget, what are the cartridge option?
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!!!
