New phono stage from SOTA


SOTA will soon be releasing a new phono stage that they debuted at CAF. I’ve gotten to know the designer who lives about 5 miles away and am currently using one of his prototypes that's been installed for about 9 months. My other equipment  - Miyjami Shilabe cartridge, VPI TNT turntable w/ ET 2.5 arm, Muse preamp, Son of Ampzilla MK II amp,  Audio Artistry Vivaldi speakers, HSU subwoofers.  I've owned three other dedicated other phono stages over the last 30 years, one retailing for over $3,000, and this unit far surpasses those. I have no financial interest, just thrilled with this piece and wanted to pass this along.  Looking forward to what the reviewers have to say. https://sotaturntables.com/company-news/sota-pyxi-phonostage/

Never mind, I read the article. Flat RIAA, low noise, no added colorations. How does the designer determine this last part? I went to the SOTA site and it seems the device is available but the shopping cart is throwing an error.

Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later.

What is this explicitly neutral you speak of?

The design is configured to be explicitly neutral. Your preferences are, frankly, inconsequential without some non-empirical basis to support them.

@wynpalmer4 Thank you for the clarification. Would the unit benefit from a larger 14VAC supply?
