Opinions on Montana speakers?
I have loved my SP2s for many years now. There have been more than a few speakers to come and go in my listening room, but none have bested the Montanas. I am awaiting delivery of a pair of FTA-2000s using the Fostex F200a which are being built by... 
Omega Super 3 or Axiom M22Ti on Sonic Impact T-Amp
Pete, Looks like our speakers should be arriving about the same time. My FTA-2000s are scheduled to ship next Wednesday. Can't wait....Oz 
JJ243 Pre-Amp - impressions please
Here is the response I posted to you on AA. I am copying it here for anyone who cares to see it in this forum.The JJ is an extremely nice sounding preamp. The phono stage is the star here, it is very good and works well with MM and MC cartridges. ... 
Cables for Montana SP III
I have SP IIs and I am using two runs of Luminous Audio Synchestra Signature speaker cables. This seems to be a very good match, but a little pricey at 1360.00 for the two pairs that you will need.Oz 
What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?
I have owned both Spacedecks. I can't say positively what 4yanx says is true. I have only heard the taller platter version with the Ace-Space, and this combination is a nice improvement over the original Spacedeck/Spacearm combo.If you can get a B... 
Jolida JD100 Tweaks & Tips
Dampen the chasis with Dynamat (car audio)Tubes of your choice...I like EH gold pin 12AX7sEither a Sistrum SP-1 or Aurios 1.2s underneath. Both work well, I slightly prefer the Aurios.Better PC. I am using a Sonoran.These tweaks will make the Joli... 
An obscure question.....
You should look to either the AA Vinyl Reference or it's counterpart, the K&K Audio phono stage. Oz 
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...
