Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question?
My advice is to get in contact directly with Nottingham Analogue. I had some serious issues with my Spacedeck and Penny Jones from NA gave me all the support needed - including shipping me some parts. Amazing people at Nottingham Analogue, taking ... 
Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners
I bought a used Spacedeck one year ago in perfect condition, although it was already 25 years old! Was a great deal, ready to play with a Denon DL103 (MC).Talking with miss Penny Jones from Nottingham Analogue, she told me that their turntables ar... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
You should also consider (as mentioned above) Cayin and Line Magnetic. Both are Chinese brands, Cayin being a government owned company and LM a private one. Both Cayin and LM are the makers of several respected western brands, like Primaluna and o... 
Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp
Any high sensitivity speakers will be a good match. I'm using Zu Audio with my SET (LM219ia) and I love it - although some folks hate Zu.   
AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue
Joegator,Yes, it works fine with my Spacedeck. I don't notice any problem at all and I also don't notice any changes in sound. I bought it mainly to stabilize the speed because I will soon be moving to a place where there are some fluctuations in ... 
Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made?
My 2 cents:I never had the chance to hear the newest Defs. However I auditioned some other models that I really enjoyed, always at the same dealer demo room (in Hong Kong). And one day I was blown by how fantastic the sound was coming from that co... 
Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back?
After some solid state and push-pull tube amplifiers, I recently got into the SET world. Bought a Line Magnetic 219ia using 300B as drivers and the 845 as power tubes.This is by far the best sounding amplifier I ever had and one of the best I've e... 
Morrow IC's
I own several cables from Morrow (power, phono, IC and speakers), mainly because of the promotional prices. Comparing to other cables that I have at home - Black Rhodium, Atlas, Wireworld and some made by myself - I don't see too much of a differe... 
high-efficiency loudspeakers
I own a pair of Zu Audio Omen Def. At 100dB, these speakers are very easy to drive. Sound wise they rock the house! They have temper and attitude; I wouldn't call them "accurate" or "transparent", but rather full, dynamic and fun to listen to.  
What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?
Save yourself some money by going on a different path: less known brands that are offering amazing products for fair prices. Most of them are class D, like Class D Audio, Ghent audio and Temple Audio (I just bought the monoblocks from Temple Audio... 
1-Where did you hear the best ...
1 - I heard it many many years ago in an audio show. I don't remember the electronics, but the speakers were the mighty B&W 800. The sound was so naturally powerful that I truly believed, before entering the room, that a real orchestra was pla... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
KingKo Audio KA-101 amplifier and CD-301 cd player.I own the CD player and it is superb! I also love the amplifier, but already own too many and my wife is stopping me from getting this one...Prices are fair and the quality of the equipment easily... 
What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?
For less than that I can sell you my Line Magnetic 219ia. Mint condition, gorgeous sound. Magnificent amplifier, just not what fits me best, it's a shame... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Noble,my speakers are the Zu Audio Omen Def. 100dB, very easy to drive - I am pairing them presently with a tubes SET pumping "only" 24W. That review that you mention is for the old monoblocks. The new model is 70W with standard PSU and 100 with t... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Erik and Noble,Thank you for your explanations. Yes I am going to try a class D amplifier from this new generation of modules. I've had an experience some years ago with a Tripath from Dayton Audio and I must say, although cheap and not a truly Hi...
