SOTA Turntables

Hi, anyone have experience with the new Sota Turntables?   I'm interested in the Eclipse , but also the Moonbeam and Comet.  Any advice on these tables is appreciated.  I'm on the fence with buying a Technics 1500 or 1210gr and these are in the same price range.

Thanks.

Yes its the Escape.....   looking to get back into vinyl.     It's the same money as the Technics 1210gr and was wondering how reliable SOTA is in general.

They are very reliable. The company is also renown for it's service. I have owned Sotas since 1981 and have never had a problem.

I just pulled the trigger on an Escape with Origin arm and 1.5" platter.   Undecided on a cartridge....  looking at phono preamps before choosing.

I received the Escape.    I took my time and set it up with an Ortofon 2M Bronze and initial impressions are very good.  I was actually very surprised how good it sou ded through a budget NAD phono pre.   That is my next upgrade.  A decent phono pre.
