SOTA cosmos turntables

I believe that this is what my dealer is suggesting as well...
I think the Cosmos with a Graham Phantom tonearm sounds like a final turntable.

Has anyone hear checked out the Spiral Groove turntable. I'm not sure, but I think this turntable is the latest design of a guy who helped design the Sota Cosmos. Has anyone compared the Spiral Groove to the Cosmos?

Thanks,

Mark

 
Spiral Groove is Alan Perkins' company and yes he worked for SOTA and designed the Cosmos - circa 1990 or thereabouts.

Smoffatt - v. nice setup!
 

Hi:

I currently own the Spiral Groove SG1 Turntable. This turntable provides world class sound, and it has transformed the analog sound in my system.

There are two tables made by Spiral Groove:

1. The Spiral Groove SG1/Reference Retail $25,000 (My turntable).

2. Spiral Groove SG2/ Retail $15,000(I have heard it once at a show,and it is quite good).

I am using a Graham Phantom in my setup. Although, I understand that Allen Perkins is in the process of designing his own tonearm (Which I have not heard yet, but, I am sure it is going to be quite good).

I bought my Spiral Groove SG1 from Precision Audio in Moorpark,California (Southern California).

Hope this was helpful,

I too recently acquired the Spiral Groove SG1 table. I am using it with the latest Tri-Planar arm and the Ortofon Windfeld cartridge. With this table I've experienced what SPEED ACCURACY can contribute to analog playback! Truly a giant leap forward in musicality. Highly recommended! I purchased mine through Xtremefidelity (www.xtremefidelity.net).
