Turntable Decision


So, I want to try a spring isolated turntable. Considering a SOTA Sapphire, Michell Gyro SE or Orbe, or used Linn Sondek LP12 (90's edition). Will be in one of two systems: Herron phono pre-Conrad Johnson pre- Pass amp - B&W speakers; or Parasound Halo JC3+ phono pre, Raven Osprey integrated, Harbeth speakers.

Thoughts based on real life experience?

Thanks.

Thank you all for such great feedback!

@milostyn -regarding tonearms, I have a supplier offering the Sapphire with a Jelco TS-550S arm. Your thoughts?


Thanks for all the great input on SOTA tables. A question on arms: any thoughts on a Schick or Graham arm on a Sapphire?
Thanks @vinylvalet. As the lone dissenter, do you have a reason you prefer the Michell over SOTA?
