REVIEWS

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the SOTA Comet.  This is a well-designed system and its parts and materials work in harmony to produce considerable musical enjoyment for a modest investment."  Victor Chavira, Positive Feedback, July, 2004 www.positive-feedback.com/Issue14/sotacomet.htm

"The quietness of the Comet never ceased to amaze me.  I highly recommend the SOTA Comet for anyone who wants to get into vinyl and not have to be an engineer to get the most out of the experience!"  Ed Morawski, Positive Feedback, July, 2004 www.positive-feedback.com/Issue14/sotacomet.htm

Cosmos Series III ..."its equal cost over twice to multiples its base price...while I know of none...its superior."  Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound, December/January, 2004 www.theabsolutesound.com 

"a space-age, drop-dead-gorgeous concoction of gloss black naughtiness.  Gorgeous to look at, gorgeous to listen to...Sound quality is superb and in terms of sound staging and tonal accuracy it leads the pack.  The Reflex Clamp is "the best-built, and most effective design I have come across."  Geoff Husband, TNT Audio, France, January, 2004  http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/sotamillennia_3.html

"my new Series III Cosmos threw a cavernous stage that was evenly illuminated from front to back and from side to side.  The oiled-rosewood cabinet was eye-poppingly gorgeous, with a rich, vivid, high-contrast grain and painstakingly crafted corner joints."  Paul Bolin, Stereophile, July, 2003 www.sterophile.com

SOTA Comet..."engineering is what the Comet delivers."  Michael Fremer, Stereophile, February, 2003 www.sterophile.com

"...the SOTA Sapphire is a mature design that traces its DNA straight from the Golden Age of audiophile analog.  Unfussy in set up and unperturbed by the listening environment, it promises to make marvelous music for decades to come."  Bruce Kinch, Listener Hi-Fi & Music Review, September/October, 2002

Millennia Vacuum Turntable, "Exceptional midrange clarity is its most distinctive attraction, and highs are silky smooth.  Dynamics are good, and the bass is very defined, if leaner than life."  Recommended Systems Components, The Absolute Sound, Issue 138, October/November, 2002

"The Star in a word, is suave, the Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett of turntables.  At its regular $2869 price, I think the SOTA Star is a good value.  It is absolutely beautiful, very well built, and sounds great...  I think the refurbished and warranted Star, at half the price, is an incredible value....I plan to back up my words with my wallet."  Nels Ferré, TNT HiFi Magazine, May, 2002 http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/ssotastar_e.html

"I found the Moonbeam slightly harmonically richer (especially in the upper-mids) than the Music Hall MM-5, ... I found it quiet in terms of surface noise (a commendable achievement at this price point), and music came from a background that was quite dark; I believe that contributed to its high level of detail retrieval."  Stephan Harrell, The Absolute Sound, Issue 135, April/May 2002 www.theabsolutesound.com 

"I highly recommend the SOTA Record Cleaning Machine to any truly serious audiophile or record collector."  Arnie Goodman, The Audiophile Voice, Volume 8, Issue 1, April, 2002 www.audiophilevoice.com 

Cosmos & Millennia Vacuum Turntables, Recommended Systems Components, The Absolute Sound, Issue 124, June/July 2000 www.theabsolutesound.com 

Millennia Vacuum Turntable - "It's the SOTA's ability to separate musical instruments while still producing a cohesive whole that's really breathtaking.  Rarely has any component made it so easy to pick out instruments and follow them regardless of the complexity of the mix."  What Hi Fi, May 2000

"The fact that the Millennia acquitted itself well against products double its price says a lot for its design integrity.  I was struck again and again by the excellence and immediacy of the best analog."  Dan Sweeney, The Absolute Sound, Issue 123, April/May 2000  (Dan purchased the Millennia.) www.theabsolutesound.com 

Millennia Vacuum Turntable - "Whether it's a huge orchestral slam or a slice of thumping techno, the SOTA has the ability to hypnotize with the way it's able to separate instruments in the mix.  Vinyl reproduction doesn't come better than this."  Editors Choice, Stuff Magazine, September 2000

"Records were found to be greatly improved.  I cannot stress enough how much this type of record cleaning can improve the enjoyment of music.  As a cleaner of vinyl records, and an easy-to-use one at that, the SOTA comes highly recommended."  Andrew Harrison, Hi-Fi News, February 2000
