Orpheus10, sure, I quite like di Meola, my favourite album from that time is probably Splendido Hotel.This is from Casino album:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjJ8rAaYcN0&list=PL8a8cutYP7foPEnsOFrSRomq4-FnJemj8

That Zawinul's Orient Express makes no sense to me. I like him but not as a band leader.Of course, I know that Paco's tune - new flamenco, nice but not engaging.I could never convince myself to like Segovia. Not a fan either but when it comes to c...

No, I can't stand those singers from his latest group, that's not flamenco singing.Solea and his other solo performances I know very well. In a sense, they are better because it's pure flamenco, but you can't really compare. I think that Zyryab pe... 
Upgrade from Rega Elys 2
Pear Audio tables/arms could be worth considering as well, they are in fact very much based on Nottingham design. I have not auditioned them but heard high praise, especially of their top of the line set-up. 
Upgrade from Rega Elys 2
As far as I know, there is only one distributor/dealer in the US - Hollywood Sound in Florida. I talked to Larry, the owner, a few times but don't know how he sells outside his area. He really likes Nottingham and strongly prefers MCs with them. P...

Let's call it flamenco jazz. The sound is too digital but I couldn't find better quality.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY0gQaL_kcg

Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
I have never heard of broken-in Purist cables being unfocused, but there are Purist fakes. As for bright, some mostly silver Purist with Ferox not fluid could be a little bright in some systems, my old Colossus RCA with Ferox is an example. It was...

I see. I would suggest then to stay with MM cartridge. Rega Exact would be a logical step up, Nagaoka 500 may be an excellent if expensive choice. 
Cable manufacturers?
 In 100 years there might be no USA at all let alone it's currency.What about single crystal cooper? Any disadvantages? 
Upgrade from Rega Elys 2
My thinking exactly. Upgrade the table and then move from there. Cartridge is the least important element, within reason, of table/arm/cartridge/phono set-up. I use $375 ( from the UK ) Goldring 1042 MM cartridge with Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm... 
AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue
PS Audio Premier holds the voltage quite steady at 120 or 121. Still everything sounds better after the midnight. 
Small but high quality integrated
Gryphon now has a US distributor - On A Higher Note. No dealers yet, though. Their Diablo 120 is not particularly small or inexpensive but must be great. Optional phono or dac.

Yeah, Purist Poseidon fluid for about $600 new should do it. I have not heard it, thought about getting it but decided on Purist's current best fluid cable - Neptune. What a cable.
