Sota Sapphire Turntable with Vacuum Platter, Eminent Technology Tonearm, and New Sumiko Cartridge

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

Featuring a solid oak plinth refinished in a dark mahogany stain, along with a satin clear coat. 

Sota's famous vacuum platter system "sucks" the record down into the platter, thus compensating for any record warp and improving sound. 

Offering controls for fine-tuning both 33 RPM and 45 RPM to perfection. 

Outboard pump controller for determining level of suction. 

This is also a "sprung table" meaning the tonearm and platter are hanging from springs, eliminating the effects of room vibration. Far superior to many of today's tables which are commonly solid wood or plastic without *any* vibration control.  

The tonearm is a factory installed Eminent Technology ET2 Tangential Air Powered model.

The phono cartridge is a brand new out of the box Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 MC (Moving Coil) type, installed and tuned in our shop to perfection. You can also upgrade cartridge or supply your own via our options at the end of this listing.

To purchase a modern turntable with this degree of build quality and sophistication would easily cost you upwards of $10k.

This is a very heavy table, close to 50lbs, but has locking screws built in that compress the plinth and allow for safe shipping. The arm would be removed for shipping, which is super easy to install and will remain calibrated.

Cosmetic Condition:
Excellent condition. No deep scratches or dings of any type.  The wood is lush and deep in color, and the black laminate top is super clean. The tonearm is also very good.

Working Condition:
Tested, tuned, and working to perfection. Tracks both 33 and 45 speeds accurately, and with minimal wow and flutter. 

Includes:
New Sumiko Cartridge with Box, Power Supply, Vacuum Pump, Tonearm, and a Record Clamp.
