AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue

migueca, 

how has the project speedbox performed with your nott? I have a 294 and would like to try an affordable option but the 3 watt power draw seems low. 

Would like to no if if you have had any functional problems, excessive heat? 

Also, did you notice any subjective improvement in sound? 

Ok thanks, I think I'm going to hold out for the Phoenix. I honestly think my power is pretty good but who knows. Anyway, shouldn't have a problem reselling the Phoenix if I don't notice a difference. 

On a a different note and not to hijack I just got a Boston audio mat 1 off eBay... wow 

I have a falcon on the way. Still looking for the roadrunner. I read somewhere that it may be difficult to use with the notts due to the physical design of the table. Fremer had the same problem with the avid ingenium plinth but devised a work around. 

Got the falcon but unbeknownst to me the power cable to which I would connect my 294's power cable had the wrong tip. I ordered an ec13 and ec14 adapters and will try it out tomorrow. Anyone buying one of these just know that there were different power connectors used besides the standard. 

So far, The Falcon is working without issue on my 294. The adapters were an inexpensive fix. 

Using a strobe disc I found that my placement of the outboard motor had the deck running slightly slow . I was able to adjust the speed in increments of .01 and I believe I've got it dialed in.

Ive only ab'd "nutshell" from Alice In Chains unplugged with and without the psu. I listened to other tracks and albums as well but without direct comparison. When I make changes to my system I want to know: 

1. Is there a change? 
2. How easily perceptible is that change? 
3. Having heard a change can I unhear it? 
4. Is the change for the better, worse or just different? 
5. Is the change worthwhile considering the cost? 

What I've found is: 

1. Yes
2. After a couple of comparisons I could pick out specific changes and some perceived changes
3. No 
4. For the better
5. Yes

Though subtle at first I noticed more detail on bass guitar, the nuances of tone were more clearly rendered and sharper. I could hear the attack and individual notes more clearly. 

There was more perceived air and clarity around the performers and within the soundstage. The instruments and vocals didn't bleed into each other, there was less overhang in the low end, midbass, and midrange. As a result, detail leapt forward without tipping up the treble. Vocals seemed cleaner and more composed. 

Considering the the cost of the Space 294 and other system components, the falcon psu is a no brainer for the improvement rendered. A little perspective though, if I felt any component in my system was significantly below par with the rest I would upgrade that component first. The falcon is a tweak, a very worthwhile tweak, but still won't provide the results that an upgraded cart, phono pre, speaker, or amp would.
