The COSMOS represents the ultimate expression of SOTA’s critically acclaimed turntable engineering. To neutralize the resonant LP, to couple it hard and fast against the ideal surface, the design objectives of Dynamic Stability (the control of forces present in a dynamic system), Environmental Isolation (the control of forces from "outside" the turntable’s world), Easy Set-up (guaranteed results in all situations), Control Over Vinyl Resonance and Variations (which would otherwise undermine th..more

The all-new open-chassis MILLENNIA Vacuum Turntable System is SOTA’s latest assault on the State-Of-The-Art in LP playback equipment. Like the critically acclaimed SOTA COSMOS, the MILLENNIA utilizes an ultra-rigid, unified sub-assembly utilizing a critically damped one piece sub-chassis, milled from a one inch thick solid aluminum plate. Unlike the COSMOS and previous SOTA top-of-the-line turntable models however, the MILLENNIA incorporates a spring-less, hanging four-point balanced-mass visco-elastic suspension system. The multi-layer suspension utilizes a variety of materials inclu..more

A turntable must address and resolve all of the issues that affect ultimate performance, if it is to achieve the goal of bringing you closest to the musical experience. The basic goal of achieving maximum information retrieval in turntable performance is one of controlling microscopic vibrations - a task that requires the utmost in engineering precision and comprehensive design. The design objectives of Dynamic Stability (the control of forces present in a dynamic system), Environmental Isolation (the control of forces from "outside" the..more
