Nottingham

I have one of the new Spacedecks with the new Ace Space arm. I have been looking at an isolation base for it to replace the standard Nottingham base. I wanted to go Neuance but they don't seem to be made anymore. Well, with a little time on my hands I stole the Stillpoints from my CDP, the Herbie's Iso-Cups with Ebony ball from my tuner and proceeded to attack my Spacedeck. I tore of the little rubber "feet" that ground the Spacedeck to the plinth and guess what, the Stillpoint ceramic ball snugs right against the thread hole without anything touching the side. Very Clean. Now, I removed the little rubber "feet" from the motor base and the Herbie's fit so well that it looks like they were custom made for each other. Level the Spacedeck, adjust the motor a little to line up the belt and play an LP. After putting a bandaid on my chin, from where it hit the floor at the sound my little Spacedeck was making I went and got a freind who has heard my system more than a few times. Just had him over for "coffee". When I was halfway through the first LP he was asking what I did, did I get a new Cart.as he was suprised at how much nicer my system sounded. I then showed him the changes. Took the Spacedeck into Outerspace for sure. Now, maybe I do need a new Cart. Just wanted to share a success story, I will post pictures of the upgrade soon.
