There are a couple of Sota Sapphire tables use on agon. Grab one. Perhaps with the vacuum pump, and put a good arm on it. I have a customer with a Wilson benesch carbon fiber arm. You can send those to the people at Sota and they will drill the arm board and even upgrade what ever needs upgrading. I had a Sapphire with an SME V. Wish I had it back. Really gets a grip on the Cartridge.
Where to next? From LP12 to what 3-4000 TT?
I am seriously thinking of selling or trading my LP12. It is a great sounding table, but really don't want to invest the time and effort in setting it up whenever it needs to be tweeked. I want a TT that sounds as good or close and really am hoping to get in for less thatn 4000 including arm. As mentioned this has been a great sounding table, but I really don't like the fact that I have to take it to a dealer for setup. I had a P25 before and it was so simplistic that I miss those days. Thinking Clear Audio, VPI, Thorens, or Rega P9. But looking for suggestions.
