RE: Why is it you almost never hear of Sota turntables anymore?

Actually, I got a lot of flak for posting pictures of my Sota Millennia Vacuum turntable in this forum so I try to minimize mentioning it. However, I really like my Sota. In fact, I just replace the original stepper motor with a true three-phase synchronous motor and controller from Phoenix Engineering and it now runs in total silence with very accurate speed. It's my favorite turntable and it sounds wonderful. If only Sota had teamed up with Phoenix Engineering, there might be a lot of people still talking about Sota turntables.

The little component displaying 33.333 is a tachometer that measures platter speed. It sends feedback to the Condor Three Phase motor controller to maintain constant and accurate speed. It can now be electronically switched between 78-rpm, 45-rpm, and 33.333-rpm.
