AXPONA 2014

I met up at AXPONA with SOTA's Kirk and Donna Bodinet. They were part owners in the company for many years, buying the company outright from Jack Shafton in 1997, when depending upon your perspective, it was vinyl's nadir, or the beginning of its resurgence. Shafton is now V.P. Sales and Marketing at Sandy Gross's Golden Ear Technology speaker company and he too was at AXPONA.

All's well that ends well as both Shafton and the Bodinets are thriving and doing what they like to do. While maintaining a somewhat low profile Donna and Kirk have built SOTA into a very successful company, building in America a full line of 'tables and two vacuum type record cleaning machines.

The Series II Moonbeam is one definitely ripe for an analogplanet.com review, which will hopefully happen over the summer.
