New motor for Nottingham Interspace
The noise is definitely from the motor and everything's level. I guess I'll call the Nottingham distributor...Steve 
New motor for Nottingham Interspace
4yanx, checked the motor and you were correct about it being out of plumb. It is definitely quieter now - thanks! However, it did get me thinking about trying one of these other motors. Any opinion on incremental advantages to DC or battery powere...

Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver?
Hi Tom,I'm interested in seeing what the hanging counterweight looks like. Any pictures you can show without giving up your future fortunes;-)?For everyone else including Tom, where's the best place to get the Expressimo Heavywight (East Coast)? A... 
best turntable new or used under $1000
The Nottingham Horizon retails new at $1000 with a Rega RB-250 arm. Mikey Fremer had nothing but good things to say about it a survey of "affordable" tables (Rega, Project, Nottingham). You'd be able to upgrade the arm over time to improve the per... 
Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps?
Klaus has also announced a new "Signature" edition for the monoblock with increased current and capacitance, and improved parts. You can check out the thread at: http://www.harmonicdiscord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8608You could get the new monob... 
B&K ST2140 or Odyssey Stratos 150?
I'm not quite sure what twice as good means, but I have owned the ST-140 (not 2140), and the Stratos and they are in completely different leagues. The Stratos whipped it thoroughly in every category imaginable. My advice would be to get the Strato... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Well, I've jumped on the Supratek train by ordering the Chardonnay with remote. The wait is pretty brutal, but at least allows me to plan way ahead financially! Hopefully, sometime in late July, I'll be sitting down to sweet new sound. According t... 
odyssey amp's how do they compare to others
I'll stand corrected by Klaus, now that I've looked more closely at the rating scale in Audioreview. I just assumed for the overall rating: 1 meant crappy product, 5 meant the best. As it turns out while 3 is "average product" and 4 is "very good ... 
odyssey amp's how do they compare to others
Another point on the Audioreview angle. 5 "overall" stars come pretty easily there. Klaus himself will admit that the monoblocks better the steroe Stratos and some of the Symphonic line amps better the monoblocks. Klaus himself will tell you that.... 
Cambridge Audio A500 vs. Creek 4330mk2 your
Audioadvisor.com had a great deal (50% off!) on a demo Creek 5250SE w/ remote - 60 watts and probably a longtime keeper. It might still be there.Beez 
What's the "best" tubes for a cal alpha 24/96dac?
You should give some NOS 5751 tubes a whirl, which are often used as a 12AX7 substitute. I'm using them in my Norh CD-1 and have had great results - more relaxed sound, less high frequency grain, better detail. These effects are subtle, but defini... 
Outboard Processor Question?
Brian,Take the Monarchy Dip over the Audio Alchemy product - better reviews and better resale if you get the 24/96 version. It can be had from AudioAdvisor.com, which has an excellent return policy if you decide it doesn't make an appreciable diff...
