Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners
I heard an mp500 in my Clearaudio concept TT a couple of years ago, I remember it being a fun cart.  
Upgrade from clearaudio concept MC cart
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Jockey, the Nova 2 tops out at 60 so the art7 is a no go. Noromance, when I replaced the foam mat with the Boston audio mat1 I got the very opposite of what you heard - the acoustic guitar chords in nutshell fr... 
Upgrade from clearaudio concept MC cart
Thanks Joey, that's good to know. I'm familiar with the concept TT, used to own one and I've owned the clearaudio maestro v1 and v2. Do you have any opinions on how the clearaudio Charisma compares to the maestro?  
Upgrade from clearaudio concept MC cart
Thanks for the suggestions. My list is not at all exhaustive. I'm aware of the clearaudio / audio Technica claims. I've owned 3 clearaudio carts and one audio Technica and they were all fine pieces. I think there is more to a cart than just the in...

Thanks for the info especially the comparisons between the kiseki and the ortofon. Though I was more inclined to get a blue NS due to price, the ortofon's less finicky nature seems better to me and every review makes it sound like just my kind of ...

Penny told me the ortofon cadenza bronze would be a good match for the 12" arm if anyone is interested  
Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question?
Contact HWDSound (Hollywood sound) in Florida. They should be able to answer your questions.  
Needle Clinic
I've used him twice. 1st time channel balance was off slightly, he fixed with no issues at all. Second time was perfect. Fairly priced and highly recommended. Andy is good people from my dealings with him 
Dac upgrade?
Consider the nuprime dac10, it will serve as Preamp and dac and it's phenomenal. Forced me to upgrade my turntable since analog fell behind the dac in sound quality after this upgrade

Only cart I've used on my 294 is the clearaudio concept MC and it sounds really good actually but looking to upgrade so I'd be interested in suggestions too. Hwdsound recommended the kiseki blue ns and I've heard the purpleheart sounds great on a ...

I bought my pre owned trade in 294 from hwdsound. Good people and very VERY passionate about nottinghams  
Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners
I have a 294, no hum. Switching from 33 to 45 is nowhere as difficult as some would have you believe. I bought a pre owned trade in from a dealer so I didn't have to install the arm but setting up at home was no big deal.  
Turntable upgrade advice
I picked up a Boston audio mat 1 off eBay for about $45 less than what the 1 remaining dealer is selling them for new. Im a skeptic with tweaks, apart from proper vibration isolation. The first record I played showed obvious improvement in micro d... 
AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue
Ok thanks, I think I'm going to hold out for the Phoenix. I honestly think my power is pretty good but who knows. Anyway, shouldn't have a problem reselling the Phoenix if I don't notice a difference. On a a different note and not to hijack I just... 
Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge
Any idea if the ART9 will mate well with the Nottingham ace-space 12" tonearm? Also, was really thinking of holding out for an ortofon cadenza bronze, any opinions as to the tonal differences and personalities of these two? The bronze gets excelle...
