To the Turntable gurus in India,
I am in the process of moving to Bangalore from US and I am shipping my Sota Sapphire turntable. I have a major doubt which may determine whether I finally bring it to Bangalore. The sapphire models are driven through AC synchronous motors which are dependent on the supply frequency. The question then becomes whether the speed control becomes difficult with 50 Hz frequency as the deviation from 60 Hz frequency is around 20%. I can compensate it by changing my mains to 100 V from 120V using a variac but before I do that I wanted to get an opinion from the gurus here. Otherwise the Table goes on Audiogon.
Changing the motor etc on the SOTA is quite expensive.
