We are happy to welcome Christian Griego, President/Director of Development and Marketing of SOTA Turntables. SOTA Turntables has a rich history with audiophiles, beginning manufacturing Turntables in 1979. Donna Bodinet has run SOTA Turntables for many years. SOTA Sound Inventions LLC was established in January 2018 with Donna partnering up with Christan Griego of Griego Sound Inventions LLC. By partnering up with GSI, SOTA now has a full machine shop and wood shop to continue on the next generation of State Of The Art Turntables.

Christan will be bringing the following to the meeting:

SOTA Quasar Turntable with Rega RB330 Tonearm,
Hana EL MC Cartridge and SOTA's Pyxi Phono Stage.

The Quasar turntable is a newer design featuring SOTA's Eclipse Package. The Pyxi Phono Stage is a purist design that belies the $300 cost. Here is a link to the White Paper of the design philosophy:  https://sotaturntables.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sota-pyxi-whitepaper.pdf

We will be using Steve Merryweather's vintage RCA LC-1A speakers with a Conrad Johnson Preamp and John Brunner's 12W Tube Mono-Blocks used with the RCA speakers at the past March meeting.

PLEASE DO BRING your favorite LPs to listen to. Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, November 12.
