If you are discussing a new Sota Star Sapphire, I dont think you can find a better turntable overall than that. The vacuum hold down works, without putting excess load on the bearing. The speed regulation is excellent and the workmanship without fault. the suspension system is without peer at its price or considerably more. I have owned a number of Stars, and now use a Cosmos, which is just a Star on steroids. they are set and forget, if thats what you want. Get the Cosmos armboard if you want, and the clamp is the best in the business.
