Where do you go to from Nottingham Analogue ?

It's hard to ignore the arm with your question because my Spacedeck/Spacearm ownership was ruined because of their arm. I found the arm wiring poor quality and it was so thin that even some very well respected dealers/repair shops wouldn't touch it for a minor repair. Perhaps if I had a different arm I would have kept it longer. 
For its price the table sounded good, looked great and I admit there is something cool about having to manually push the platter with my finger to get it spinning. But the hassles with the arm and lack of repeatable VTA adjustment are downsides. It didn't come close to the sound and performance that I've enjoyed for years with a VPI TNT6HR that replaced it. 
Also note that Tom Fletcher the brains and heart of Nottingham has passed on, and I believe his main protege is running the Pear Audio brand now. Don't know if Nottingham is even in business. Cheers,

+1 for the TW Acustic as an addition to your list. If the lower cost Kronos makes the budget, that might be another one. Their initial model really impressed me! Cheers,

I never heard before the complaint about Nottingham arm wiring, except that installing the cartridge does require skill and very steady hand, yes, very thin wires. If I could I would have it rewired with Purist Audio wire, but I believe the wiring is quite good as it is. This arm won't work well with heavy low complience cartridges, sure.
But let's return to the tables. TW ? German battery powered ?

Yes, dead quiet, takes multiple arms, sounds great. Know a couple of very happy owners who are plenty hard to please. Give a listen if you get a chance. Cheers,

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.
