I keep hearing about TW turntables. What is its sonic signature? Weak points? Could someone with real experience elaborate in an objective manner? Some special traits compared to other tables in the same league, besides being very quiet? I could listen to it easily in New York City, but that would be premature for me - I might like it too much.
As an example, Nottingham Spacedeck's most obvious trait is its intense musicality, it engages you right away. It is pretty quiet and quite dynamic, sounds big with authority for a modest table. On the warm side of neutral. Currently using it with Goldring 1042 MM which appears to be an excellent match, this certainly can be improved. Resolution is adequate for me but could be taken farther with, say, Lyra Delos cartridge. This is not a neutral table in a 'clinical ' sense, you know it's there, it's not a 'cold device' that has to mechanically perform its function and that's all, it is an active contributor. Overall, there is nothing it annoys me with, except being very sensitive to wall current. Now that I plugged it in PS Audio Power Plant Premier, the system's sound is much improved. Still, could use motor controller, I guess.
