Whats With the Price Discrepancy?

Because SOTA is a full service manufacturer and distributor, they have an excellent trade in policy. It’s pretty simple, if you own a SOTA turntable, and would like to upgrade, they will take your current turntable in trade towards a new one. The trades are then fully refurbished, and offered for sale, with a 1-year warranty, at a reduced price. The review sample is a refurbished unit. The workmanship is excellent; I cannot tell this unit from “new”. The base price on a refurbished Star is $1435 including a blank composite arm board. The review sample came with the optional, but recommended, Reflex Clamp ($208). Then towards the end of the review, there was a household accident at chez Ferré, (more on this in a bit) which required a dustcover. SOTA sent a refurbished dustcover ($124.) Like the turntable, the dustcover looked like “new”. I wasn’t even aware of the existence of refurbished dustcovers.
