I'd really like to hear your thoughts on the differencies between the two tables, once you have a chance to compare. I have read and read and read, on this forum, about the Technics until I'm ready to puke. I just can't believe that this table can...

Sota Reflex Clamp Loses Contact with Record
I think that's how a "reflex" clamp works? When you push the lever down, it lifts up a little on the spindle so that it can clamp onto it, thus the "reflex" action. I have always had to apply slight downward pressure to the clamp to make contact w...
