Sota Sapphire and Isolation?


Greetings, y'all! I should be receiving my new Sota Sapphire on Tuesday. I'm psyched! I currently have my Rega on a Gingko Cloud isolation platform. Since the Sota is a suspended table, will I need the isolation? Obviously, I won't know anything until I get the table setup, but my excitement is looking for any reason to engage with my new Sota. LOL. Thanks, y'all!

Thank for this discussion y'all. I'll have to read it again when the TT arrives. I'm just gonna start with the TT on the shelf, see how that goes, and then experiment with the Gingko platform. It's not spring-loaded, by the way, it's a platform (uncertain of material) that rests on rubber balls. The number of balls used depends on the weight of the TT. Anyway, thanks for the discussion!

Quick update: I set up the Sapphire today. It sounds pretty damn killer just sitting on the shelf. I'm blown away by the sound stage, particularly the placement of instruments/voices. It seems just right. This is only a few albums in. Luckily, my wife is out of town this weekend. I foresee a lot vinyl in the next couple days.
