General comments on SOTA


It seems that soya receives very little play in most forums with vpi and wt getting a lot of nods. Is this a commentary on sound quality or just the conservative non flashy nature of sota it self?

I've always liked sota for their relative lack of tweakiness and stability. I'm considering a sota but my local dealer is a linn rega fan and set up is an issue

Any comments

Whilst I agree that it is far better to have a rigid coupling between the motor and platter, on my old Sota Star Sapphire ( pre Cosmos ) I cured most of the speed stability by hacking into and regulating the DC PAPST motor, suggesting most of the early speed issues were caused by motor cogging. Nothing to stop you bolting up the subchassis to eliminate the springs as well on an older model.
