its a good tt but not as wonderful as the BAS Speaker review of the phase linear 8000a (the same tt) glowed about. my grace 707 on a kenwood kd500 revealed the diffs between cartridges more apparent.

it is nice to have auto shutoff and tangent tracking is my favorite method and has some real advantages. when i fleck of food causes a locked groove (quite common) i would switch off the tt drive and cuing to prevent the arm raising.

then i rotate the platter until the fleck JUST passes the stylus and its accompanying thup (the sound made by the fleck), and then rotate the platter far enough to scrape the fleck off with my fingernail.

this usually has the affect of completely removing the particle and leaves the groove dead quiet afterwards.

the advantage of tangential tracking here is that the stylus doesnt jump a groove as an arm with an antiskating device built in.

i had many happy hours with my pio but when i had the opportunity to snag my sota sapphire for a great price, i didnt hesitate.
