Nottingham Ace Spacedeck Tweaks

I know Notts tables aren't exactly a hot topic of conversation right now, but any current or past Nottingham owners out there who have done the "heavy kit" conversion and added an isolation base like SRA? Which of the two provides a more significant improvement?

I have a motor controller already and like what it does to the overall presentation.

Tubehead, any further observations with the motor move? I have a Spacedeck also, love it, and would like to know from Shakeydeal what inspired that move? Just the same, I plan to try that when time allows. Nice to see some conversation about this very, very nice table. Happy New Year to all as well....

Anovak, the change is subtle, but I think I'm hearing just a touch more resolution and clarity. Maybe by moving the motor away from leg, less vibration is being transmitted to the table.

John_tracy, I've had the Phoenix Falcon PS for a few months now. I like what it does, especially for the cost. However, the K&K unit does look interesting.

Thanks, Tubehead. I tried it with mine but the motor sitting up front on the left side didn't make any noticeable difference in the sound, besides it being rather in the way....not sure what Shakeydeal was hearing that was better but not in my system. Thanks for the reply, though.

Wooo! I just got a killer deal on a used heavy kit off of one of the other second hand audiophile sites. Excited to see what it has to offer.

I tried moving the motor to the front of my Hyperspace. The difference I heard was subtle at best. Slightly more bass definition and more cohesion in the sound stage. Not sure yet if it's enough change to make up for the loss in ergonomics. It does get in the way now.
