Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin

I went to one of our Ears and Beers parties this past weekend and got a chance to hear a SOTA table and WOW what a nice sound!
Now he has an SME 4 arm with a Clear Audio Signature cart and I will be only running a Aurum Beta S Clear Audio cart with a Grado Signature arm but if I can get even in the ball aprk of his sound I will be thrilled, I am stilled impressed with how isolated the table was to external noise, banging on the table could not be heard in the speakers even slighly, and the vac and clamp made notable improovements in the sound. His SOTA has avery nice controlled tight but dynamic sound that really let vinyl shine against digital.
Well I just hope mine sounds close to as good as my friends, if so I should be a very happy camper, the table may be up and running this weekend (fingers crossed)

I also had the upgrade to the Nova series V.
A good as it was,I was surprised to be told by SOTA that an upgraded PC on the pump/power supply would make an audible difference. So, I had gotten a PC here on auction that wasn't quite as good as I would have liked for my amp or pre and decided to try it on the power supply. The result? Greater coherence and PRaT. Tried another PC and would rate it 3rd, leaving me with the impression that aftermarket PC's can make a difference here.

For those who live in houses that are not like the dust free laboratory chambers so often alluded to here, pet hair, progressive male pattern baldness, children and the dust to dust inevitability of life on earth may make a speck or two appear on their turntable mats. I've found that a sweater lint remover roller or the similarly designed Pixall MK 2 record cleaner roller pick up this detritus readily and leave no residue.
