The SOTA MILLENNIA
Vacuum Turntable
The all-new open-chassis MILLENNIA Vacuum
Turntable System is SOTA’s latest assault on the State-Of-The-Art in LP
playback equipment. Like
the critically acclaimed SOTA COSMOS, the MILLENNIA utilizes an ultra-rigid, unified
sub-assembly utilizing a critically damped one piece sub-chassis, milled
from a one inch thick solid aluminum plate.
Unlike the COSMOS and previous SOTA top-of-the-line turntables
models however, the MILLENNIA incorporates a spring-less, hanging four-point
balanced-mass visco-elastic suspension system.
The multi-layer suspension utilizes a variety of materials including
Axidyneâ,
a unique energy absorbing visco-elastic polymer, to provide excellent
outside energy rejection at critical midrange frequencies.
The MILLENNIA Vacuum Turntable includes the Cosmos Armboard and Reflex Clamp. The Cosmos Armboard is multi layers of acrylic, aluminum and lead in a constrained mode and high polished. The ultimate mechanical clamping system, the SOTA Reflex Clamp assures intimate contact between the record and the mat over its entire surface. The Millennia Turntable is considered a custom order.
