Hello Harold.Unfortunately, that listing will not load for me, but they do sound similar. Mine is Japanese, with all the best that this connotes.I have three surge tanks. The air path is: pump, 4 litre filled with cotton, regulator, 4 litre empty,...

Update on a regulated air supply.More to report than I expected. I thought the results would be a matter of nuance, not a matter of dramatic improvement, but I was wrong.I had been using a Rena 400 aquarium pump with two surge tanks, of 4 and 20 l...

recessed center in old turntables platters ... why
Hello Tom.Yes, recessed for label and recessed for lip. Nottingham Analogue is much under-appreciated IMO. I discovered them shortly after I bought one of the first Lynn Basics, which was almost as good as Lynn's best-of-the-day, but for 20% of th... 
recessed center in old turntables platters ... why
My Nottingham Mentor has both recessed areas machined into a 1 inch cylinder of graphite. Aftermarket mats invariably diminish performance. 
Wish List For Vinyl Pressings
Gorecki, Symphony No 3. Stefania Woytowicz soloist, Ernest Bour cond. Soundtrack for the movie, "Police". Erato 9275.Absolutely stunning. Count me in for this one too. 
Wish List For Vinyl Pressings
Hearing Solar Winds (TAS list), The Harmonic Choir, David Hykes dir, Ocora 558 607.Count me in for this one, Ralph.

Spirit, now that I read my response I realize that the last sentence is misleading. True, but still misleading. The point is that the platter is perpendicular to gravity, and so is the tonearm, by measurement, not theorem. Everything being precisi...

Hello Spirit.The thing is to get the arm absolutely parallel to the surface of the platter. Of course, it helps if your turntable platter does not wobble on its bearing!To this end, I had an aluminum plinth and tonearm tower made up at a precision...

Hello Gary.I use three arm wands for my three main cartridges: MM, MC mono, and MC stereo. It takes only a minute to change arm wands, but ... 1. with cartridges so expensive to replace, I take extreme care with stylus guards, etc.2. each cartridg... 
Experience with Miyajima Takumi Cartridge?
I have a M Zero mono cartridge. It is very good, but lacks the ultimate smoothness and sophistication of my pricier Koetsu. In my opinion, in my system. 
Record cleaning fluids
I consulted a biochemist friend, and he suggested a good lab detergent. Fisher Scientific has a lab detergent especially formulated for plastics, VersaClean.With my VPI, I used a mixture in the range suggested, plus alcohol to 10%. Since there are...

I bought this tonearm nearly three years ago, mounted on Nottingham Analogue's second best table from a dozen years before: 20Kg platter, upgraded bearing, upgraded plinth. Terminator's improvement over the $1500 NA tonearm was significant.The com... 
Spin Clean seems to add noise to records?
Hello Rebbi.I always allow my records to air-dry in a dish-rack after cleaning and rinsing. When I first began washing records in my callow youth I used tap-water on a few, leaving a deposit which only came off with ultra-sound. Are you perhaps us...
