With a tri Planer or a Graham Phantom. I have observed remarkable difference between the TW Raven AC and the VPI Line. I have not heard the Nottingham but can say that the TW is as good if not better than the SME 20/2 turntable. The speed control is amazing on the TW and the driving motors are extremely quiet and well synchronised. Now I am no expert on any analog stuff, but I have listened to a few lines. I did not have the budget for the TW Raven AC so did not buy it at that time. But have it in my list for future.

IMHO the Basis Signature Series and Vector arm should be added to your list. The bearing on these tables are second to none and the Vector arm with Basis wiring is an excellent performer. They give you alot of performance without fuss and have a model for every budget. Good Luck on your quest.
