Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT
I responded with a general description of the wall mount in another thread on here.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1048695087&openfrom&1&4#1I have a more detailed description, which I will try to find.BTW, Tom Fletche... 
Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT
Same results using two different clamps. I have my Spacedeck on a maple cutting board as part of a DIY wall mount. Sounds great. My wife prefers it on the stock plinth (looks), though I do slightly prefer the sound of it directly on the cutting bo... 
Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious?
Marco, if all (or at least some) of this sounds fun, you would have enjoyed being a part of the 5-on-5 intramural basketball team I was a part of in college named: 4 Jerks and a Dribble..... 
Do cartridges need warm-up?
As silly as it may sound to some, my experiences are very similar to Albert's. My current MC cartridge (shelter 501) benefits from about a side and half a flip side before settling in to serious listening. I don't recall facing this issue with sev... 
Where to go from Basis 2000/RB300/Glider?
I cannot comment on the Basis because, while I have heard many a table, never a Basis. I can say that the audition I had recently, to which Twl refers, with an OL Illustrious/Shelter 901 combo on several different tables was very revealing. This c... 
New Dark Side LP
This is now the THIRD thread relating to the 30th Anniversary Reissue. Perhaps we should consolidate. 
mcCormack or Plinius
One added note to Labtec's post. Steve McCormack will soon offer mods to the newer DNA models (DNA-125 and DNA-225). 
High End Myth Glossary.
I think they were referring to the Sun around these parts lately, Ohlala. At least it seems like 400 hours before it has shone..... 
Nottingham Anna log with Anna arm
I can say this atfer saying that I am a Spacedeck owner and partial to 'Nots. I have heard this table under fairly controlled settings at a local and friendly dealer. I'm sure that others will have their choices but this table, with a Shelter 901,... 
Tick on 30th anniversary Dark Side
Hmmm, I ordered mine through eil.com in Britain and got mine about three weeks ago. No pops, no ticks, SUPER quiet. I rate it better than both the MFSL and original domestic pressing and perhaps a sliver behind my original UK pressing (but MUCH qu... 
VTA Adjustment
Mythtrip, you haven't contacted me as Brulee volunteered :-) but I will add one more thing with respect to VTA. There should also have came with your Spacedeck a short spirit level. Carefully place this in line with your arm on top of the headshel... 
30th Ann. Dark Side of the Moon on Vinyl
Still, no one? 
What's a good step-up transformer?
I'd seriously suggest giving John Chapman at Bent Audio a jingle and ask about the TX-103 unit, based on the Stevens and Billington product that Twl mentions.I have one of his TX-102 passive volume control units(preamp). It is EXCELLENT. 
VTA Adjustment
Bwaahahahah, Ohlala, I'm with you 110%. I have come to believe that ASL is an acronym for Arrogant, Stupid, and Laughable. But then, I don't have any strong feelings on the matter. ;-) Mythtrip, the adjustment of VTA on the Spacearm is EASY. First... 
Jazz suggestions please
Oh, jump about anywhere into the Art Pepper catalog and enjoy. They're all good and many should be included on any basic list as "starters".
