Do consider used as well. I got a Sota Star Saphire here on A-gon with an AQ arm for less than the price of a new Comet. It is between 15 and 20 years old, but these things are built like tanks and service is readily available in the event that you need it. You'd have a much better TT than either the Comet or a Tech 12 too.
SOTA Comet --- Opinions please.
Many of the SOTA related threads here on Audiogon deal with the higher end SOTA tables. I'm interested in learning more about the SOTA Comet, and how it compares with the "usual suspects" in that price range (Rega P5, loaded Technics 1200, Clearaudio Emotion, etc.) Would, for example, the SOTA Comet match well with the new Rega RB-301 arm and Dynavector 10x5 cartridge ? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences with the SOTA Comet and your likes and dislikes with the table. Thanks.
