I received my new table today

Hey everybody,
I just got my first table in 18 years today and I am already loving it. I bought a new Sota Comet with an OEM RB-250 and a Sumiko Bluepoint cart. I figured this would be a good start to see if I liked playing vinyl again. So far I can tell that I will be a vinyl head from now on. The music is just more palpable and alive with vinyl than with my digital rig. I'll let this thing break in for a few weeks and try my hand at a review. There is not much info about Sota tables on the 'gon or AA.

By the way Sota was a pleasure to deal with. Donna was very helpful with all the questions I had and when she found out that there was no Sota dealers near me she made me a deal I couldn't refuse on a direct purchase. I highly recommend talking with Donna if you are even thinking about getting a Sota.

Have a good one!
Jim

Well I've put about 8 hours on the table over the weekend and I am still loving it. I put some Mullard CV4004 and CV4024 in the phono stage replacing the Sovtec 12AX7wa and 12AT7 that came with my VTL preamp. That made a huge differnce in the noise floor of the preamp. The highs are a little ragged sounding but I think this is a combo of poor record cleaning and a new cartridge. Hopefully as I get better at cleaning the records and the cart breaks in the highs will smooth out some. Thanks for all the encouraging responses.

Cheers,

Jim
