About the Nova VII
The SOTA Nova VII from Sota Sound Inventions is a premium analog turntable featuring a heavier and stiffer sub-chassis with a 1” milled aluminum brace, stainless steel counterweights, and acrylic tonearm well for improved sound clarity and life. It utilizes the renowned four-point spring suspension system to isolate the record from external vibrations and footfalls. Available with or without the proprietary self-sensing vacuum hold-down system that flattens records for optimal high-fidelity playback with minimal noise. The platter is an individually-balanced, three-piece billet T6061 aluminum design, CNC precision-machined. Powered by a high-efficiency Series VI A/C synch motor (or Series VII Eclipse package option). Customizable finishes include Cherry and Walnut; all SOTA turntables are upgradable and offer lifetime trade-in value. Does not include tonearm or cartridge.
