Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners

Good point mark, I listen a bit louder than you most of the time but at night when the kids are sleeping I turn it down and notice what you are hearing. The combo of the notts 294 and the Nova 2 are lowered the noise floor exponentially. Also, I don't think the Nottingham is dull or overly warm at all. 

The most unfortunate part of this entire hobby is we are limited by the quality of every source recording, no matter what the medium.  We can ramp up the $, the technology, the expertise, the materials, the designs, the manufacturing, but in the end, if a mediocre source recording is our beginning, we can make it listenable, but rarely excellent.  I’ve found both Sonus Faber and Nottingham products very adept at excellent reproduction of high quality sources, and at the same time able to make poor source recordings more than ‘listenable’.  As is often said: it’s all about the music.  I think Franco Serblin and Tom Fletcher are of similar philosophies; strip away what gets in the way, leaving only the music; much like sculptors - just remove the unnecessary material and leave the masterpiece.  

Yeah, low noise and low distortion are really important.
Overall, I think Nottingham owners are quite happy with the sound they get. They keep upgrading too but usually not the table itself.

Having heard a noticeable improvement with the Boston audio mat1 I am definitely convinced that this table is the perfect platform for letting you hear improvements with tweaks and other upgrades. I definitely will be improving my cart and really want to try a Wave mechanic or similar external power supply, but I will be looking used as the new price is a bit too much to ask imo. 

I'd love to try a moerch 12" arm when the timing is right financially and a used one pops up. For all the love the tables get, the arms seem to be constantly dumped on. They are pretty but seems very stable and for the price I'm not sure how much better you could do for sound quality. 

Found a used falcon psu. It had a c13 female power connection with which to connect to connect with the 294 so I had to get an adapter. Using an inexpensive strobe disc purchased from amazon I found that the The shapes were well defined at 33.3 and 45 but would move slowly around the platter. With a few adjustments I got them to remain in place. Haven't had the chance to really listen yet. Will report back when I can.
