I've had mine for 3+ years and have never looked back.Built like a tank and lets you hear what's in the grooves.You will be hard pressed to find performance as this for under 20k IMHO of course.
Anyone heard the Sota Millenia?
Looks good on paper and comes from good lineage. I like the composite materials and vacuum hold down. It would be nice to get a solution for a second arm but I would contact Sota for such an idea. I would be concerned about the sapphire jewel bearing as I've heard that jeweled bearings can shatter.
