Cool! Did you sell your other T2 and buy one built by Kerry? Or borrowing from a friend?

EDIT: oops, i see the other one on the bottom. Two T2's, damn, haha.

First T2 is waiting on a repair. Couldn’t stop myself from grabbing this Nascent / Eksonic one when it came up recently.

I really have no problem keeping two T2s. Hope to compare them side by side eventually but from what I’m hearing now they do 99% the same thing.

Almost forgot how stunning the T2 / 009 combo is on vinyl. Finally hooked up my SOTA with a Koetsu again last night. As much as I love my new Phison PD2 DAC, still nothing touches top flight vinyl for me. Pure effing magic, nothing finer. Honey in the ears 😍

Yes, thank you :)
It's a fiery Koa wood, and they don't make that anymore. Literally iridescent in direct light. I saw this table in a local shop on consignment 15 years ago, and couldn't get it out of my head. It gave me "feelings". Went back on my birthday to buy. And that's how I got into vinyl! It was a SOTA Star Series III back then - must be originally from late 80's / early 90s. I had SOTA bring it up to Nova V specs a few years ago. Wish I'd waited for VI series, but mainly I wanted the vacuum clamping working again, which functions beautifully now. It's plenty good as a V series.

It looked like quilted maple, but didn't. I couldn't place it. Anyway, thanks for sharing that story, I can only imagine your delight at bringing that home. Wow! :)
