Just curious...
I KNOW they are still in business - at least, they still have a website.
I see plenty of mention of VPI, and Rega, and Linn, but no Sota.
Really just ask that because, other than something INSANELY expensive, like a Walker Audio Proscenium Gold (which I only have heard twice) - a Sota Star Sapphire with ET2 arm has always been my dream "vinyl rig."
Not sayin' I would scoff at an Oracle Delphi, or something from Well Tempered... but I just don't see Sota mentioned these days. The fact that they seem to be based in DeKalb, IL doesn't hurt, either - as I was born & raised in IL, and some of my schooling was at NIU in DeKalb.
