Have since added a Transrotor Fat Bob, Oracle Delphi V and Sota Cosmos IV. I need to sell something.
I currently own 2 Sota Star Sapphires, 3 Oracle Delphis, 1 VPI HW19, 1 Oracle Alexandria, 3 Sony TTS3000 and 1 Sony 2250. I have previously owned other Sotas, Rega P3 and various Japanese direct drive turntables.
Yes, I have listened to them all. I think the Cosmos IV is the best overall, the Fat Bob is the most dynamic and the Delphi V is the most musical, if that helps. Those 3 are all very close.

Then it drops off to the delphi III, Alexandria and Sota Star III. Then to Empire, Sony, Project. In each group, the cartridge would be the deciding factor.

I use SME 309 and 345 on the Cosmos and Oracle, Audiomods IV on the Fat Bob.
Have added a couple of Technics SP10mk2, a PTP Lenco L75, a Sony PS-X65, a Clearaudio Performance, a Basis 2001, a Collaro, an Empire 498 and I'm sure some others. Probably have owned at least 50 over the years, and at least 20 presently.
I have my tables strewn all over the house, so I dont see them all at once. It I did, I might think I had a problem, fetish or addiction.
