Sota Cosmos w/Vacuum Turntable w/AIR TIGHT PC-3 PHONO CARTRIDGE and SME IV Vi Tonearm

This is half the cost when it was new!

Entire setup sold as is:
Retail new prices were as follows;
Sota Cosmos w/vacuum turntable: $8000
Cosmos Dust Cover: $235
Reflex Clamp - Compound lever-action record clamp: $270
AIR TIGHT PC-3 PHONO CARTRIDGE: $3500-4000
SME Series IV Vi Tonearm: $4000
Free: Sumiko flux buster FB-1 included in package no charge.

I have boxes for the tonearm and the phono cartridge. The box for the turntable and vacuum box just came in basic boxes, no frills, which they will be shipped in.

No rush to sell this, but a family member passed and this was his, we need money for the family so please no lowball offers. It will pay for their college.

You must cover an extra 3.5% for paypal fees and shipping.

About the Turntable:
The COSMOS represents the ultimate expression of SOTA’s critically acclaimed turntable engineering. To neutralize the resonant LP, to couple it hard and fast against the ideal surface, the design objectives of Dynamic Stability (the control of forces present in a dynamic system), Environmental Isolation (the control of forces from "outside" the turntable’s world), Easy Set-up (guaranteed results in all situations), Control Over Vinyl Resonance and Variations (which would otherwise undermine the performance of even the best turntables), and Control Over Power Line Impurities (which are present in all installations and result in sonic anomalies if not controlled), are all addressed in the design of the SOTA COSMOS turntable. With the SOTA COSMOS, turntable design has been carried to its logical conclusion, with the most comprehensive, scientific approach to identifying all the universal variables that undermine pure signal retrieval.

About the SME Series IV.Vi Tonearm: Using the Series V magnesium arm tube, along with ABEC-7 bearings, the Series IV.Vi is designed specifically with moving coil cartridges in mind. 50 gauge Magnan type Vi internal wiring provides sonic excellence, along with virtually zero mechanical impedance on the bearings. Tracking force is applied statically, further reducing any mechanical impedance on the bearing. FD-IV tonearm lateral damping device included to optimize cartridge performance. Adjustable cue height to accommodate different turntable configurations.
