| The Best Phono cable I have to agree with Nsgarch. The Purist Audio are great cables and have made my system a lot better. Their phono cables are especially nice. | |
| Power Conditioner recommendation Another option is the Majik Buss. Pi Audio Group has products at both $595 and $995. Neither model is current limiting and they really cut the EMI coming in from other sources.They made a huge difference in my system and are affordable. I wrote a ... | |
| SME V vs 309 Sonic Differences Gsoravil, What phono cable will you be using with the 309? | |
| SME V vs 309 Sonic Differences I agree with Jfrech. You may see some improvement in an arm upgrade, but I have seen first hand how big the tonearm cable upgrade can be.I started with a generic tonearm cable, then went to XLO, Purist Venustas, then to Purist Proteus. Each time t... | |

| Looking For More Detail Some Possible solutions:- Dial-in cartridge better- Change Phono Stage loading- Get better phono cable- Put spikes under table- Better RackOh, and as far as detailed cartridges, I like the ZYX. I had some Shelters before which are nice, but I thin... | |
| VIP, SOTA & Oracle Turntables I haven't heard the other you mention, but I agree with SirSpeedy that Sota is an excellent table. The mid and upper models come with a suspended platter. If you put the table on spikes, you end up with one very accurate sounding table.The Sotas a... | |

This resulted ... | |
| What do you feel is the best sub-$4000 turntable? A used Sota Star or Nova table with a used SME 4.5 or Graham arm. | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables DBJain, So did you decide to get a Cosmos table? I got my Cosmos IV and have to echo the consensus above. The table has a superb finish, and is well built. The soundstage, clarity and depth of the bass is noticeably better than my previous Sota S... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Curriemt, I don't think we are disagreeing. I have been working with Kirk and Donna, and they are terrific people. The table quality is excellent as well. But, you do have to have the patience of a Saint. I am not saying it isn't worth it, but tho... | |
| SOTA cosmos turntables Send in your table. By the time the table is ready you will have the money (and possibly Grandkids).OK, being serious... Ask Donna how long it will REALISTICALLY take. I am guessing 2-3 months which will give you time to find the money.Others hear... | |
