SOTA / FT-3 / Sonata compatability?


I'm considering buying a Grado high output Sonata for my SOTA Sapphire turntable (circa late 1980s) and Premier FT-3 tonearm. Has anyone had any experience with this combination or have any comments or suggestions?

Thanks

Warning!! I am a dealer. I've been a Sota and Grado dealer for 20 years. The Sonata will work fine in the FT3. The Grado's will pick up AC hum in some turntables because they are not shielded. However, the SOTA has a DC servo motor, so the Grado won't have the AC hum problem. -Harry
