Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above

I forgot to mention, the 1200G dug out more micro details than my Garrard

There must be something wrong with me. Maybe I need to smoke more weed?

@pani limited dynamics could be a product of the table. I guess the only way to know would be to bring another one in my system to compare so need to see if I can swing that financially. Would be fun to do an A/B test. Maybe that’s what I’ll do with the Sota or another table. Right now the Sota intrigues me the most. I played an album on my 1200G yesterday and noticed the vinyl had a slight warp and was thinking the Sota would flatten that record out. I have a Funk Achromat on my 1200G and it doesn’t leave enough spindle to place a clamp on top which would help some with warped records. 

Try SAEC SS-300 mat, you can easily use it with any clamp on Technics.
It equally good on SP-10 mkII

Water is the bare minimum, IMO
