SOTA MILLENNIA™

US$ 8,680.00

Open Chassis Vacuum Turntable in Semi-Gloss Black with Cosmos Armboard and Reflex Clamp

The New Upgraded 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 uses SOTA’s internally damped, multi-layer 15-pound vacuum platter system with the ultra Vinyl Format platter mat.  It incorporates SOTA’s inverted bearing assembly design, utilizing a polished sapphire thrust plate with zirconium bearing.  The SOTA self-sensing record-hold-down system uses a high-tech pneumatic sensing circuit to provide vacuum clamping and maintenance of exact low-pressure vacuum hold-down.  The MILLENNIA’s synthesized sine-wave drive (with electronic speed control and speed change) 24 pole A/C Stepper Motor drive system is housed in a separate, high-mass stand alone cabinet and is powered by SOTA’s Electronic Flywheel power supply.   Additional damping has been added to the cabinet as well as adjustable feet for fine tuning.  To learn more of the basic goals of achieving maximum information retrieval.

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.

.................The Funk Firm........ever closer!

We would like to welcome Ortofon to our family!

Ortofon was founded in 1918 by two Danish engineers, Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen. These two pioneers had one very clear objective
in mind - to put sound onto film, and with this, they established the Electrical Fonofilms Company A/S, which later on was renamed Ortofon A/S. A few years later, in the Palace Theatre, Copenhagen, they were able to present the first fully-synchronized sound films and in so doing, created a world
sensation.

SHERWOOD NEWCASTLE


R-672
7.1 Receiver with HDMI 1.3 Switching

The R-672, Newcastle’s entry level single-zone receiver, has built-in switching for two HDMI 1.3 sources plus two wide-band component video inputs. Other capabilities include AM/FM with 30 presets, rear panel inputs for 2 video sources and 2 audio sources and 4 digital audio inputs. In recognition of the importance of portable audio, the R-672 has a front panel A/V convenience (input) pack and another audio input suitable for an MP-3 player. The 672 is also XM ready.

More important that the input/output configuration is the receiver’s automatic set-up capability, made possible by Sherwood Newcastle's Dual Point™ EQ, set-up is automated and virtually foolproof. Using the supplied microphone, the homeowner places the mic in his listening position and follows several on-screen prompts. The receiver calculates speaker output, distance, frequency response and bass cut-off. It then selects the optimum bass cross over frequency by channel pair, sets the output level and delay. The user is then prompted to move the mic to a second position where frequency response is recalculated. Finally, the R-672 uses 32 tap FIR filters for each of the 7 main channels to flatten speaker response.

Other features of the R-672 include: DTS-ES, 96/24 and Neo 6; Dolby Digital Surround EX, ProLogic II, Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone; Universal VideoTM transcodes composite and S-Video to component video; 7.1 channel direct input; and more. The R-672 is covered by Sherwood Newcastle’s 3-year parts and labor warranty.
