Comet - "Wow!  Far exceeded my expectations.  Even my wife noticed the difference.  Better than CD's."  James C., Valparaiso, IN, August, 2004

16 yr. old Sapphire - "...been a delight.  16 yrs. old and still marvelous.  Most trouble free item I've purchased in my life (and my Maytag).  Paul W., Lincoln, CA, August, 2004

Sapphire Upgrade to Series V Star - "...a lot of improvements.  No comparison and very reasonably priced.  I can't believe the difference."  Ben S., Vestal, NY  July, 2004

LPC - "!#@!%*  incredible.  The machine does."  Al F., Mundelein, IL, July, 2004

Moonbeam - “it was well worth the wait and sounds GREAT!”  Bill B., Raleigh, NC,  April, 2004 

Comet - “This is my second Comet, and it’s even better than the first one.  It’s more musical than my CD player system – so many good qualities- excellent bass, smooth mids and highs, subdues any record noise – very quiet!  It’s a quality product!”  Dr. Nicholas J., Loudon, TN, March, 2004 

Refurbished Star - “...my wife and I moved into a new home which allowed me to create a more ideal listening environment then my last residence.  I can now enjoy the table to it’s fullest… it’s a great piece of equipment!  Great conversation piece as well.” & ... "it's singing like a choir of angles!  The Star/Graham combo is out of this world...the Reflex Clamp completes the package.  You have secured a dedicated SOTA advocate!  ...I will never stray from my first true analog love.  Thanks again...your service is an example others should strive to attain."  Mike L., Annandale, VA, January & March, 2004

Millennia Motor Upgrade – “I am up and running- the new motor is silent and this sucker seems to be getting better and better as time goes on.  I am very pleased with what you have done for me and very glad that I purchased this turntable.  It’s amazing.” David W., Warsaw, IL, February, 2004  

 Series III Cosmos - “is extraordinary.  Superb dynamics, low and middle tones, high fidelity, perfect spatial rendering.  ...another important comment:  inaudible pump rumble.” Pasquale R., Italy, January, 2004 

Refurbished Nova - “It’s outstanding in every detail.  I have been playing it nonstop since it arrived and I am absolutely delighted.  It’s all there, musicality, clarity, resolution, spaciousness, everything analogue can offer.  A number of older recordings I had written off as worn, sound great once again.  Many thanks to all those who encouraged me to stick with SOTA.  Kirk at SOTA was extremely friendly and helpful and provided excellent advice and service.” Jeff L., San Francisco, CA, December, 2003   

Comet - “I am very pleased with the Comet turntable.  I am enjoying records I haven’t played in a long time.  I forgot about the wonderful music contained in those grooves. Thank you both, especially, Kirk, for the time he took in setting up my table and his follow up to see that I was satisfied and answering my questions.  I’m pleased also with the build quality and the parts used.” Charles D., Pittsburgh, PA, November, 2003 

Star - “I am a Music Historian and also provide music as therapy for patients.  Vinyl is the source most essential to this program.  I need a turntable that will play without failing. The SOTA has.” Steven R., San Mateo, CA, October, 2003 

Star - “I have had my table forever.  Sounds phenomenal.  Thank you for making this fine product.  There are few things in life that have made me this happy.” Howard S., Cedar Knolls, NJ, September, 2003 

Early Cosmos and Star - “In my opinion, your company sets the standard for service, in addition to making great products.  I also have a Star Sapphire in a second listening room, which continues to provide great enjoyment.” Stuart L., Milwaukee, WI, June, 2003

Sapphire - “I love the sound of this table.” Alan L., San Diego, CA, July, 2003   

Sapphire - “Sexy as hell!” Jack B., Riverside, CA, May, 2003

Millennia - “Not incidentally, my wife, who has no interest in audio equipment but has a fabulous design eye and ear for music said (1) the improvement in sound is like night and day (she didn’t want to stop listening), and (2) the table’s physical design and construction is elegant.” Jonathan B., New York, NY, May, 2003

 Sapphire III - “I have owned my SOTA Sapphire III since 1988.  No problems whatsoever.  I upgraded my aluminum armboard to the new Composite armboard.  The SOTA Sapphire has never sounded better!  I would never consider buying another brand of table due to the workmanship, quality, sound value, and customer support of the SOTA people. Many thanks.” Pete L., Bethel Park, PA, May, 2003 

Comet - "The Comet is clearly a fine turntable."  James S., Tokyo, March, 2003

Sapphire - "It has performed beautifully for 18 years..."  Bob B., Kildeer, IL, April, 2003

Star - “The bearing assembly/mechanism is one of the smoothest I’ve ever used. The suspension system is very will thought out and executed with such precision… it will dampen anything that comes it’s way (to the point of moving the table with a LP playing and not experiencing any mis-tracking whatsoever.)  Additionally, the vacuum system is second to none.  After some initial tweaking, the system flattened out some old vinyl that I thought would never be played again.  The Star Sapphire is something that I hope to pass along to my children one day.  Thanks for taking so much pride in the workmanship of your tables.” Mike L., Annandale, VA, February, 2003 

Nova - “I am quite happy about the publicity you got lately with the Sopranos and a most positive review in the Listener.  You craft beautiful turntables that are reliable, well built and that extract what is on an LP.  I always felt that you deserved to be recognized more in the audio world.  I hope this will bring you more business and that SOTA still has many years to go.” Pierre A., Quebec, Canada, January, 2003 

LPC - “I love the LP Cleaner, works miracles!” Neal V., Castle Rock, CO, January, 2003 

LPC - “I confess to having been skeptical about cleaning machines, other than removal of obvious dust.  Your LPC (received in fine condition) has converted me.  I cleaned an old Mercury pop LP, that (previously) had such poor sound I couldn’t listen to it. After a cleaning on the SOTA LPC, it sounds great!  90% of the surface noise and pops are gone, and the overall sound is dramatically better.  Lifts a veil.  Thank you!" Jonathan B., New York, NY, January, 2003 

Early Star to Series V Nova - “People that have been familiar with my SOTA are amazed at the improvement in sound and how quiet it is.  I am very pleased.  It is more musical, easier to listen to, sound stage depth, rhythm pace, dynamics, black background, etc.”  Bob E., Shelby, NC, November, 2002

Refurbished Star - Ease of set up, have no problems, power supply & vacuum pump very quiet, everything works very good.  Especially pleased with Cosmos Armboard, BIG improvement in its use.  I highly recommend the extra money.  Turntable operation is dead quiet.  My old Sapphire is and has been working problem free for 19 years, its quality too is excellent.  Workmanship is first class in both counts.  Would recommend these tables, especially the vacuum system to anyone for S.O.T.A. LP playback.  Les G., Laramie, WY, October, 2002
