SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations?
Does anyone have a B-60, the VTA Base for FR-64S that you want to sell?

@atmasphereDo you sell your version? What is the price? 
SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations?
The only thing with Technics 1200G is that it doesn't have vacuum or peripheral ring for slightly warped LPs and better coupling. Even with a very old used Triplanar tonearm, you are already talking about >7K. How do I get an armboard for TP fo...

SOTA has a magnetic levitation platter. Anyone know if this makes a significant difference in SQ?

@mijostyn,Keeping the dust cover on while playing means no TP arm for SOTA. It is not that easy to find a tonearm with an easy VTA control whether on the fly or not. I was interested in Origin Live, but the VTA control is not easy.

@sandthemall, I retipped the 103r with a Shibata asymmetrical tip and sapphire cantilever and changed the epoxy body to solid aluminum. So, I think the cartridge is decent, IMO. The current arm Sumiko MMT (really Jelco) has an effective mass of 20...

How much difference is there between Origin Live MK4 and Conqueror? The price differential is not that great. There are SME V's on sale but they seem much more expensive. Any thoughts?

@lewm Don't you have the Technics SP10 MK3? How does it compare with MK2 or 1200GAE? There is a big price differential.

The only thing with TP with SOTA is that the counter weight sticks out and the dustcover won't close while playing.

@mijostyn,I have to agree that SOTA is bullet proof. My friend's system that I was raving about at the beginning has a 30 yr SOTA.

@mglik A lot of people are raving about 1200G. How long have had it and how durable is it?

How is the tonearm that comes with 1200G?

@lewm I get your point about upgrading the innards of my SOTA and I am going to do that. Since it is best to upgrade the table and install an arm by SOTA at the same time, I am focusing on the arm. SOTA also likes Kazuma and Origin Alive.

I just realized that with Triplanar, I can't close the lid due to the counterweight sticking out. There is a 10 yr old SME V on sale for $2999? What do you think? I talked to SOTA and they say SMEs were one of the most popular tonearms with SOTA. ...

I looked at the tonearm angle more carefully and it is not 0 degree bit maybe rising 1 degree up to the platter. It should be 0 degrees, no?
