Jazz suggestions please
In addition, check out the "Jazz Recommendations" thread at the top of the "Music Forum" page. I'd say that the thread is pretty inclusive. 
Nottingham Spacedeck Owners in Isolation
I, too, have used my Spacedeck both with and without the plinth and found no audible difference in sound. My sons, and I, like the looks better without the plinth. My wife likes it better with the plinth. I will leave to your imagination how I hav... 
???Cartridge break in???
Above, all true. While I have seen quite a number of folks recommend the Dynavector with the Spacearm, I find them inherently on the bright side of neutral. 30 minutes is not long enough a time on which to base an opinion, though. 
Nottingham and Teres comparison
Tphalieros, if you have gone theough 4 incarnations of upscale TT's and are not yet satisifed with your sound, I'd have interest to know what is the rest of your system. Chances are it isn't the platter. This cannot continue! :-) 
Nottingham and Teres comparison
I believe that the very earliest vesions of the Interspace were all-wood in design, including the platter. Now, the platter of the Interspace is made of HDF with bronze perimeter weighting. The Spacedeck platter is of an alloy with perimeter dampi... 
Tuner Lover ,any RARE photos to share
Please send it to me and I will take my own pictures! :-) 
Nottingham and Teres comparison
Twl, one word. Fabulous. I may upgrade to this config eventually before a table upgrade (Spacedeck/Spacearm/Shelter 501). I am not fully convinced that the extra bucks for the 901, as opposed to the 501, is justified in all cases, however. While t... 
Nottingham and Teres comparison
I dunno, I think, and I'm sure some will disagree, that to truly compare tables you should listen with the same arm/pickup combination.I guy I know locally who has run a mostly analog shop for many years and knows the guys who designed the Teres d...

Osiris stand owners.....
Osiris also made the Giza stands. Multi-purpose platform style stands with SUBSTANTIAL footer points that will work nicely with certain floorstanders. 
Dedicated phono cable or quality IC
I recently purchased from Pure Note a custom phono cable to use between phono stage and preamp and found it to be EXCELLENT. I suggest calling Tom and explaining what you seek, your components, and let him make a recommendation.

"Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad?
Well I made up the label "polyamping" for the purpose of this thread title though, like you say, there is nothing new under the sun so I won't claim it as an original idea. Nor will I claim, or even remotely infer, that I "invented the whole thing... 
"Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad?
Some interesting comments.Bob, I was not singling out that an ATI amp be used, just that such was sugeested in the design by the designer. I have no knowledge of these amps personally. It was the only design in the DIY realm that I saw which incor... 
How well does the VPI 16.5 work??
Cmp, my guess is one of three things is causing your problem. First, it could be that the nut holding the record to the platter is not quite tight enough, as Rwd suggests. Second, and likely if not the first reason, the adjustable collet on the va...
