Sota Quasar // New / Turntable / RB330 Tonearm / With Dust Cover

Sota Turntables is one of the most highly regarded manufacturers, with a reputation that stretches back 50 years. Their latest masterpiece is just that – an elegantly understated walnut plinth, hefty acrylic platter, and keen attention to detail. You may notice the specs don't mention wow, flutter, or rumble. Famously, those measurements are imperceptible on Sota 'tables. Equipped with the RB330 tonearm, the tonearm base is compatible with many popular designs. We only have two questions – what cartridge would you mount, and what's the first album you'd play?

LINER NOTES

SOTA’s Quasar yet again brings unparalleled performance to the price point. Three phase synchronous motor controlled by the Condor PSU drives a clean, clear, precise speed. The bass extension is more accurate with the thick MDF core wrapped in American walnut. The clarity of sound is found with the speed stability of the Eclipse package. More separation of instruments and voices create a soundstage that is breathtaking at a price point that is not. Stock tonearm is the well-recognized Rega RB330, but the Quasar mount accommodates SME, Origin Live, Audiomod, and other tonearms as well. 360 brass spike feet with pads for improved imaging and sonics finish off the table.
