Nottingham service & arm setup
I may be corrected. My understanding is the new Ace-Anna arm has the feature to adjust by twisting the headshell. The older Anna arm does not. As an aside. The forum at Pink fish media is the place to go for questions regarding Nottingham. There a... 
Decent software for classical LP collection mgmt?
I use Music Collector from http://www.collectorz.com/music/I'm very happy with it except that old classical albums are hard to find on the search-able data bases. So I enter most of my classical albums manually. Time consuming but worth it in the ... 
crackling in first minutes after steam cleaning
Is the crackling permanent i.e. on repeated play is the cracking the same? I ask because I wonder if you are not hearing static. 
Which wand for Morch DP-6
I use a 12" blue dot arm tube with my Airy 3 SB. The general consensus is ZYX sound best with a blue arm. When I bought the ZYX I went straight for the blue arm on this advice. I have been so happy with this combination that I never felt a need to... 
Comments about Nottingham quirks
I own a Hyperspace and don't feel any of the Nottingham "quirks" mentioned are a downside. I don't experienced the 60 hz hum either.I also own a Raven AC and wish it had a similar start/stop feature as the Nottingham.I note that once the reviewer ... 
Mint LP a no go – now what?
"Plug for example the effective length of the Dyna DV-507 into Ellison's spreadsheet and you'll be surprised at how it varies from both Loefgren and Baerwaald"The tonearm parameters given by Dynavector for the DV-507 are for Stevenson's alignment.... 
Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace
Here's another idea for you. I used a Morch DP-6 with my Hyperspace. I believed it to be more dynamic than the Space arm with the added bonus of being able to choose between a 9" or 12".Tom 
Steam cleaning records 2
Does anyone steam clean records which have been treated with Last Preservative? I am convinced steaming doesn't harm vinyl but I wonder if any harm could be done to a Last treated record.I heard Last changes the molecular structure of the record s... 
VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips
There are also these strips from Disc Doctor. However they always seems to be on back order!!http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=28242 
DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle?
I am also considering a Dynavector for my new Raven. In my research I came across another curiosity. Dynavector uses Stevenson's alignment rather then the more common Lofgren or Baerwald. Is this something to consider when choosing an arm or are t... 
To Raven One owners.....
Hey No Regrets and Dgad,I hope I have no regrets. I placed my order for a Raven AC. I will use my Moerch DP-6 to start then upgrade later. I might just be one of the first with this combination. 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
I've been using steaming as part of my record cleaning for a couple of years. (I have a VPI 16.5 which works well for me.)Early on I realized one of the secrets to successful cleaning is to keep the scrubbing brushes and vacuum tube strips as clea... 
To Raven One owners.....
Thanks Dgad. You've been a great help. Looks like an upgrade to a Raven may be a priority for me..... 
To Raven One owners.....
Has anyone gone from a Nottingham Hyperspace to a Raven One? If I went this route what differences in presentation should I expect?
