I'll let the pics do the talking for now :) Arrived last Tues. after two weeks of deliberation.....One of the best decisions I've made and, for me, the best bargain in all of hi fi. Reveal all later.

Re: What's in the box?
Thanks a lot lads :) Here's all the gory details from the site....Make sure you read the customer reviews too.
http://www.divineaudio.co.uk/analogue-w ... ntable-one
....and here's mine:
As some of you know I've been trying to improve my system for a long time now. 'Improving' being the operative word as I'm more than happy with my system. About three weeks ago I decided to renew my acquaintance with Tim from Divine Audio. I knew Tim was a huge fan of the Nottingham Analogue/Fletcher Audio turntables having both sold and owned them. I gave him all the details plus four options I was thinking of pursuing and waited his response. One of the options was getting the 'heavy kit' for my Spacedeck. He answered promptly with his suggestions and he then, ever so subtly, gave me the above link. Very dangerous grounds!
When I read it I knew immediately what he was trying to achieve and, more importantly, I knew this was exactly what I was looking for! A turntable for all seasons that was based on the late Tom Fletcher's designs for both the Notts Analogue and Fletcher Audio top of the range decks. Read Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace, the Dais, Fletcher Audio Point's 3 and Five. But.......at a drastically reduced price :) All hand crafted in England too. I was hooked :)
What followed in the coming days was probing questions about anything and everything I could think of. Is it 'better' than my Space Deck. 'Yes'
'How would describe it's sound?' 'More musical' etc etc etc He was even prepared to take my deck as a trade-in but I was having none of that :) There's no way in hell I could part with it......
Anyway as luck would have it they were also giving 10% off any product during their stocktaking week. Oh oh oh oh, what was I to do????
It was a no brainer really. What had I to lose? So I promptly filled the online form ticking all the boxes on the version I wanted, sent off the money and waited. That was on a Fri. On the Tues. Tim sent me a pic of my tt on the test bench which he ran in for a week. In the meantime I resurrected the Mana table from the attic and spent time setting it up beside my tower. 24 bloody spikes! I cursed it to hell and back! Finally my tt was delivered by DPD the following Tues and my life has never been the same since :)
What does it sound like? Like music :) Cliché I know but it's the only answer I can give. I know when Tim gave me the same answer I wanted to know more. Now having heard the deck I now know exactly what he means. It's so emotionally involving it's extremely difficult to tear oneself away from it. Everything sounds so natural, self effacing and with a fabulously spacious platform to relive your dreams time and time again. All the hifi attributes are all there in spades. Is it better than my Space Deck. In a word yes; In a word, it's more musical :)
Don't forget you also get a Martin Bastin designed and made power supply included in the £799.00 price! The optional OL arm is a synergistic dream of a partner and at a ridiculously affordable price too! To Tim and his team we salute you. GIMP indeed :)
