SOTA Comet Turntable W/S301  Ref: SOTTCOM300

The Chassis and Cabinet Damping System of the Comet continue the design theme of isolation from noise and spurious vibrations. Environmental isolation has been accomplished by way of a monolithic, massive internally dampened cabinet, which effectively isolates the turntable system. Additionally, special energy-absorbing leveling feet are utilized and incorporate a proprietary visco-elastic polymer pad to damp vibrations. This Comet model includes the critically acclaimed S-300 tonearm which adds precision-balanced bearings and improved resonance controlled tapered arm-tube. Each tonearm model offers adjustable anti-skating, damped cueing, and can accommodate a wide range of cartridges. The Comet dustcover is available as an additional accessory. To further enhance sound quality and keep within your budget, we recommend using the Sota I-Clamp. The I-Clamp will increase lower and upper extension. You will notice that the sound stage improves and the image becomes more coherent. In addition, the transient response will improve and the sense of air around the instruments becomes more obvious.
