SOTA Satellite Beautiful Walnut Turntable w/ Upgraded Jelco SA-750 Tonearm

I've realized something about myself.....I'm not into vinyl. I thought I
was, I wanted to be and it seemed to be at the very heart of the audio
hobby. I've become more and more involved with with digital audio and want to upgrade. I love the
convenience and also want to expand my network.



I invested reasonably into a higher end turntable, cartridges, etc. and want to offer a package here for sale.  I purchased this wonderful SOTA just under a year ago. It shipped directly from SOTA on 5/19/16 in two really awesomely sturdy cartons. 

The equipment is pristine with the exception of a small crease in the
mat made by a dropped LP. It does not affect, in any way, the interface
of vinyl and mat. Without this small crease in the mat, I would rate this table a 9/10 Excellent. I have ALL of the original shipping cartons,
manuals and the SOTA packaging is some of the best I have ever seen. So
here goes.....

SOTA Satellite in Walnut finish with upgraded Jelco SA-750D tonearm in Bronze finish, beautiful. Retail is $2,500

SOTA acrylic dustcover

Upgraded SOTA Composite Armboard
Ortofon cartridge is NOT included

The arm, arm board, platter and sub-platter are all hung on four
visco elastic sleeves attached to the sub-chassis. Even a sharp rap on
my rack does not get through to the tonearm and motor assembly. I live
in a fourth floor apartment and have never heard a single footfall get
through.



I have owned both a ProJect Expression and a Rega RP-3. The SOTA Satellite is a significant step up IMO.


The Jelco SA-750D is a superb tonearm with a detachable headshell which
allows easy cartridge mounting PLUS the ability to swap cartridges
easily. A silicone damped tonearm option lets users mount higher
compliance carts. The Jelco also comes with two counterweights, one
heavier to offset the weight of heavier cartridges like a Denon DL-103.


I'm asking $1450, PayPal fees included, shipping to CONUS
covered by me. Reasonable offers entertained. Thanks so much for
looking.

As an FYI, the SOTA Satellite can be upgraded three steps in their line
if you desire. Jewel, Sapphire and Nova models are the next three up in
the line and include fully sprung suspension and up to vacuum hold
down. The Satellite uses a visco-elastic suspension which is superb.
The spring suspensions take it to the next level. SOTA will also use
new or refurbished parts for your upgrade as well. Really great company
to deal with just outside of Chicago.

This Satellite package is a wonderful starting point.
