Upgrade from my GSP era gold
Please tell us what "competent" MM cartridges will best a MC in the 1K-2K price range. I can't even think of one that will beat a Dynavector 20XL. Just dreaming, perhaps?Oz 
Acapella LaCampanella ?
Don't know how they sound, but the name sure does roll off the tongue quite nicely........ 
Full range floor standing speaker???? 4K or so
I think Tvad hit it straight on. There are few full range floor standing speakers that will sound very good so close to the wall. All the rest of you guys should have recommended that he resolve that issue first, or all the speaker recommendations... 
VPI Scout/JMW-9 or Nott. Horizon/Expressimo RB250?
I have ditched the stock MDF platform that comes with the Nott. It sits directly on a Neuance shelf. This sits on a Machina Dynamica Promethean using two Timbernation maple platforms to sandwich the springs. The pics of my system are old, the setu... 
Tonearm for Nottingham Spacedeck
Funny you should ask this question. I tried an OL Encounter on my Spacedeck and preferred the Spacearm. I now have an Ace-Space arm and it is even better. Other arms I have had on the Spacedeck:Rega RB600OL SilverBluenote BorgheseBluenote Borromeo... 
VPI Scout/JMW-9 or Nott. Horizon/Expressimo RB250?
I used a Michell clamp for a brief time with mixed results. Ultimately my Spacedeck sounded better "clampless". The Boston Audio Mat-1 is a great match for Notts. I have one on my Spacedeck and have heard it on the Interspace too. Until you can la... 
VPI Scout/JMW-9 or Nott. Horizon/Expressimo RB250?
My advice is to snag the Nottingham Interspace that is for sale here on the 'Gon and put the arm of your choice on it. It is a far better table than either the Scout or the Horizon. You can't go wrong with that table.Oz 
I want to upgrade my TT for about $2K.
I think Doug's recommendation for a Spacedeck is right on. Go the the Audiophile Systems website and click on "Where To Buy", then click on "Nearly Perfect Sale", and scroll down to the Nottingham section. You will find that you can buy a Spacedec... 
Upgrade the speakers or upgrade the receiver?
I'd say you are wrong on both fronts. Ditch the receiver idea and go with quality separates. And later on ditch the Paradigm idea and go with quality speakers.Oz 
Music Boy/Petra interconnects - where from?
Is that some sort of joke? I'm obviously not getting it....Oz 
Analog - Bang For Buck
Nottingham Spacedeck/Ace-Space arm is a great combo. No fuss, easy set up and excellent sound.Oz 
Phonostage w/volume options

Phonostage w/volume options
Email Kevin Carter of K&K Audio. His phono stage kit is the same as the Art Audio Vinyl Reference. You can get it with or w/o volume control. This is one fine sounding preamp. For an upcharge he will build it for you and customize it around yo... 
Romance just keeps geting worse
After all this discussion about your used Romance woes, why didn't you just send the thing back to the previous owner and get your money back? It really sounds like you got a piece of crap this time. First you had a missing bearing, and now this. ... 
PMC Owners your opinions
MC1, OB1, 1B1, ABC, Doe Ray Mi, 1,2,3.....Who the hell can keep all that straight? Why doesn't PMC use some sort of rhyme or reason when naming their speakers? Sheesh, waaaaay too much confusion.....Oz
