Dear Grimace: Like other people already posted I don't think there is a problem between that tonearm and your Sota TT.
Maybe what you have to ask is if that tonearm is a good match to your current cartridge.
If you read the other posts the ortofon tonearm owners own a very different quality cartridge level that the one you own, unfortunately I don't have experience with that Audio technica cartrdige so I can't be sure about.
Btw, IMHO say that that tonearm is a good tracker is almost a misunderstood because it is the cartridge the one that it is a good or bad tracker and always dependent on the matching with the right tonearm.
Regards and enjoy the music.
