Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables?
Shsohis, I've never used or even tried a mat on my Hyperspace. I guess a trial run wouldn't hurt. What did you hear you gained and or lost if anything with your mat? 
Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables?
Another Nott head chiming in. My sonic evalution of my Hyperspace pretty much fits the descriptions already given in this thread. I mate it with a Basis Vector 1 arm and Transfiquration Temper Supreme cartridge. The addition of the Wave Mechanic s... 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Jesusa0, as a former guitar player and a current Shindo and Fender stat owner, I totally agree with pick up comparison. Congrats on the new (to you) audio addition Alberto! 
How many Lp do U have more than 5 of the Same
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys 5 copies. Genesis - Selling England by the pound 4 copies. The only reissue thats better than the original of anything I've had the chance to compare: The first Pretenders. The last Band of Gypsys I bought, 180gram re... 
cartridge to use with linn & shindo
I have my Transfiquration Temper Supreme mounted on a Basis Vector 1, Nottingham Hyperspace TT. I bought the Vonsne Romanee 12/09. I've being playing it almost constantly since. And now as of the beginning of April I purchased an Auditorium Hommag... 
Shindo Monbrison balance issue?
I have both the exact same experiences with my Vosne Romanee. The owners manual suggests you set the volume levels on your amp at the preamps 8:00 volume position. I don't have a shindo amp and there is no volume setting on my amp. But I don't lis... 
Footers?
What interface material did you try and what set up did you end up keeping? What did you obtain sonically? 
VPI Classic or Notthingham Hyperspace?
I have the Hyperspace custom fitted with a Basis Vector 1 arm and Transfiquration Temper Supreme cartridge. I've never had it in any other configuration except without the wave mechanic when I first bought it. I've had it for some 6 or 7 years now...

Footers?
Pubul57, since you are asking this question, I think I may have a solution for you, maybe. I have the same player. Before I purchased it I demoed the top of the line XDS1. It is a $24,000.00 one box player with an aluminum chassis. Ours is a stand... 
Good CD Player for Mark Levinson amp + preamp
I, again, would say the 390s is the way to go. But also in my experience with the levinson gear I own and love, at the very least go with a balanced output player.

LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ...
I sold my lp12 and considered the Teres, Nottingham, and VPI. I settled very happily with the Nottingham Hyperspace. Only the looks of the VPI impressed me. I thought I had my heart set on the Teres but my enthusiasm wained about putting it togeth... 
Levinson 37/360s vs Levinson 39 cd player
I disagree totally with 9rw. I own the 360s/37 combo and have auditioned EMC unit extensively. I can't put the ECM down. It's a very nice player. I've even heard it sound better with the outboard Chord DAC. But better than the 360s/37?, No Way, bu...

Thanks Twl for the response. I apologize for you writing this over again because after I wrote that question, I found a 12/26/02 response from you regarding someones SME 309 vs. JMW 10 vs. Graham 1.5 thread. It was an excellent explanation of the ...
