What goes beneath your Nottingham?

Oregon,

You didn't answer the original question. Have you owned a Nott or heard one in your system? If not, your comments don't hold water. You can love your Lenco all you like, but it sounds like you have only a passing acquaintance with Nott products.

Shakey,
I guess I ought to clearly state- I have never owned a Nottingham. I've listened to enough of them to know "...I wouldn't wanna have one". I would not say "only a passing acquaintance". I have played many LPs on 2 Spacedecks. Both use the same amps, more expensive speakers, cables, cartridge, etc.
In many ways, I feel the source is most important. Without a very good source, the best speakers, amps, room, cables will only color the poor quality from where it all begins.
Please don't get your belt all bunched up, just not my taste.
They are pretty good and nice to look at.
I hope you like yours.

Back to the original post- why spend $1k, $2k, or even $3k on a "good" turntable and find it necessary to add a platform, then balls , then another platform, then a better rack, on and on?
Is it just the thrill of spending money?

Now back to the topic - I'm keen to get the Neuance shelf. Does it mean the Nott marble platform will sit on top of this platform or it is a replacement of the Nott platform?

Thanks.

It replaces the Nott platform. But good luck finding one. It's my understanding that Ken Lyons is no longer making them. And you need to have a VERY fast trigger finger when one shows up on Agon.
