My Notts Hyperspace benefited so much from addition of the Walker Precision Motor Controller that I came to think of it as an essential part of the turntable system. Possibly the Notts motor controller would be just as good, but don't leave home without some sort of motor controller, i.e. an AC synthesizer that can control motor speed by changing frequency. The Notts motor appears to be a single phase type, which if true explains why it goes so well with a single phase controller like the Walker.
VPI Classic or Notthingham Hyperspace?
I have been faced with quite a few upgrade questions recently, including my phono preamp and now the tt. My dealer has a demo Hyperspace, which he is willing to sell to me for $3000, including the 12" tonearm that comes with it. I've been eyeing the Classic for a while but a few days ago its price was increased to $2750, which now makes me wonder whether the Nottingham is a better deal.
I'm very curious to hear your advice and suggestions. Thanks!
