Hi Larry,

You definitely have a topnotch record player. I considered the Basis Debut V, but I discovered the SOTA, which was less expensive and appeared to be very nice in the pictures. Yes, it is a very noticeable improvement over my old Thorens TD-126. Of course, I also have a new tonearm (SME V) and cartridge (DV XV-1) of equivalent quality, so the improvement is substantial.

Surprisingly, the Millennia does not incorporate a suspended design in the sense that it has a spring suspension. It sits on several rubber (Sorbothane) washers inside the posts and it is quite solid compared to what I though it would be. However, it seems to work beautifully and it sounds better than anything Iâ€™ve ever heard in my system. Iâ€™m just glad that I built a special stand because I think it benefits from a solid platform.

Fortunately, I just moved into a new house that is constructed on a concrete slab, so my living room floor is concrete underneath the carpet. I built an oak table that sits on cones to couple it to the concrete. Then I placed a layer of Sorbothane on the tabletop with an addition marble top on the Sorbothane. It is very solid and stable.

Best regards,
John Elison
