Build A Used/Kit Flea Watt SET System
Leftistelf, to be honest, I haven't tried any real high end linestages in my system. I know one thing, though. It is going to have to be a good quiet one. The high efficiency speakers really show up any problems with the noise floor very quickly.I... 
Next worthwhile step from an MMF7
Ron took the words right out of my mouth. I agree completely. 
Build A Used/Kit Flea Watt SET System
I'd strongly consider a Berning Siegfried SET ZOTL amp. It is available in either 811 or 300B. The 811 is probably more ultimately accurate, but the 300B is probably warmer and maybe a little fatter overall, and many people would prefer that. Eith... 
SOTA vs. Rega, VPI, Music Hall, Clearaudio
SOTA is a nice turntable. It is still as good now as it ever was. It can be bettered, but is quite competent. It depends on how much you want to spend, as to whether it would be worth upgrading. I think SOTA has some upgrade paths, and you might l... 
Upgrading from a B&O RX2. Help.....
I am quite familiar with all those tables, including the B&O RX2. I will say that although the B&O is a nice little table for the money, all the others you mentioned will be a step up from the B&O.I'd say that you will hear an improvem... 
Cart match for OL Silver/Sota Sapphire/PH-1
Setup on the Shelters is critical, and they also require some reasonable break-in time of at least 40 hours. They can sound unacceptable at certain early stages of the break in. But they come out really sweet after the break in period. Try Jay at ...

I'm within an hour's drive of Knoxville. I'd be willing to participate periodically. 
Nottingham stepped motor
I think the Nottinghams in general are good sounding tables. Apparently they have made a good working system using the items they have selected. 
Advise on cartridge for Scout
I also like the Dynavector on the VPI tables and arms. 
Cart match for OL Silver/Sota Sapphire/PH-1
Really surprised that you didn't like the 501 very much. Maybe you should try one of the other European cartridges you listed, since the "Japanese" sound of the Shelter and Koestu are quite different than the "European" sound of the Clearaudio you... 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Follow my instructions at the top of the page of this thread, and you'll have what you want. It is made for installation on a RB250.If you have any questions about it, you can email me, and I'll help you. 
Cartridge for Spacedeck w/spacearm
They're both good cartridges, but I like the Shelter better overall. On the Space arm, I have received several communications from qualified users who have gotten good results with the 501 on it. I don't think you have to worry about that with thi... 
Motor Vibrations
If the OL motor is made by Maxon, it is a high quality motor, and should not cause this problem.My Teres motor has no discernable vibrations on the housing that I can feel when it is running. However, I have battery power supply for it.I have set ... 
Motor Vibrations
I don't know exactly where the problem lies Jim. But something is amiss. 
Motor Vibrations
Maybe it is a bad motor, or maybe it has something to do with the power that you are feeding it. It needs to be dead flat DC.
