What is the difference in sound between your AR & the SOTA? Using the same headshell and cartridge on both!

Ok , Tonight I compared the two tables using the same cartridge , my re tipped Entre EC-20 on a Yamamoto boxwood head shell, the assembly weighs 15 gr .
I used Peter Murphys Deep album for the comparison for now. But to be honest my modified AR XA does very very well next to the SOTA. Both get you involved in the music
and put a smile on your face. Both have tight bass and angelic highs. The one area the SOTA bests the AR is how deep those tight bass notes go. I could feel the synthesized Oboe
in Strange Kind of love more often than while listening to the AR. But thats about it. probably due to the better platter and matt of the SOTA.

So in conclusion i am happy with both being in my system.

Thanks for that comparison review!

The great thing about this thread is this group of audiophiles with such good and broad taste in music.

I do envy your better access to albums though.

So true... I can't tell you the amount of albums I've gone and bought after seeing them come up on this thread and listening to them on youtube.

Great way to discover new stuff!

Great demo 2 disk album from ClearAudio. The Bach organ toccata and fugue makes me want a subwoofer though.

It's labeled as "DMM - Direct Metal Mastering" and 180g vinyl. Some of the sources are from Deutsche Grammophon.
