Description

Step inside the story of SOTA Turntables with Christan as he shares his journey from a teenage stereo shop kid to owner of one of the most respected analog brands in hi-fi. We talk about how his background as a musician shaped his approach to design, why locally sourced materials and precision engineering matter, and the legacy of SOTA’s suspended turntable philosophy dating back to 1979. Christan breaks down the challenges of building high-end turntables in today’s market, the constant pursuit of lower wow & flutter, and how SOTA continues to evolve with cutting-edge electronics while still servicing decks that are decades old. From the entry-level Moonbeam to the all-new Onyx flagship, we dive into what makes SOTA unique and why their tables are still built to last a lifetime.
