Upgrades to Sota Cosmos IV

Hi all,

My Sota Cosmos IV is currently back at the factory for a service and some upgrades.  I was wondering whether to do the Pump/Power Supply Series VI upgrades and the Eclipse DC motor upgrades. 

Has anyone upgraded their older Cosmos to current specs and did both of these upgrades make any significant difference to its performance? The only upgrade I was contemplating was the platter to the new magnetic revelation platter.

The costs of the upgrades be better spent on a new cartridge?

Thanks
Alan

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your response.  I use a Fidelity Research FR64fx and an Alphason Xenon MCS with an Ortofon Rohmann.

Did you upgrade to the total eclipse package? What was the main improvements that you heard?

Thanks
Alan

Elevick,

I didn't have any issues with the motor/vacuum as far as I can tell. I sent it for just a service and the platter upgrade. I am still waiting for a full report from the factory so have a bit of time to decide on any upgrades.


Mike,

Yes the Alphason is my preferred tonearm and it was rebuilt by Audio Origami in the UK earlier in the year. Thanks for your comments on the eclipse package.

Since the eclipse package in now in a new housing does it mean that the original power supply/vacuum unit is now only for the vacuum and now you have another separate box to control the speed?  Does the two buttons on the plinth now become redundant?


Cheers

Alan
