About the Moonbeam VI
The SOTA Sound Inventions Moonbeam VI is an entry-level SOTA turntable designed to deliver the company’s vibration-isolating, traditional suspended-subchassis sound at a relatively accessible price point. SOTA describes the Moonbeam as letting listeners hear the mastering choices made in the original recording process, with a veneered MDF plinth and design elements intended to absorb extraneous vibrations for a more lifelike presentation.
