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/

I’m with Raul on this one.  To think we can measure everything the ear/brain system can perceive is Human arrogance.  It was recently discovered that the brain responds to signals above what we can think we can detect.

Some of you probably know this,  but an opamp does not have to be an IC.  I prefer discrete circuits with little or no feedback, particularly of the global kind.

 

You folks take care,

Robert
