Updated and Upgraded. Custom made plinth of Phenolic and aluminum. This is probably one of the best turntables in the world now! I have heard a lot, but I have heard few better!

I bought five shelves with the solid top for the Sota Cosmos table. This is a great rack. If a person spent twice the money they might be able to get something better, but is it twice as good? The picture is just the top shelf. [url]http://starsound.biz/multiplatforms.HTML[/url] gives more info.
Purist Venustus PCs (2)
On the Sota power supply and the Klyne power supply.
Exact Power EP15A
I don't know what this thing is doing, but it sure does it better than the Tice Power Block...
Hello Nate,I noticed you have two diff stands for the Caravelles,which are you using? I have the speaker stands that are pictured on the website that use 3 cones(per speaker) with audiopoints on top and bottom .They do seem to work very well sound wise,,but are very unstable on my bouncy wooden floors.I have them sitting on top of an old pair of speakers for the time being.What are your thoughts on stands?Ray
Nrchy,My Caravelles took a few weeks to settle in,,,with the bass taking the longest time to fill in.Looking forward to hearing your impressions of these sweet little gems!Peace,Ray
