Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners

Really like the looks and the build quality of the Nottingham tables, and it does not hurt that I am originally from Nottingham, England to start with...lol
But I have read a few reviews that claim they are pretty tricky to set up and some suffer 60hz hum fairly easily?
Would like to hear from actual owners, your arms, carts etc
Would be upgrading from a Funk Firm Vector with Grado Gold which is deathly quiet as far as hum and in its own right is very musical in my rig.
Thank you

I have a 294, no hum. Switching from 33 to 45 is nowhere as difficult as some would have you believe. I bought a pre owned trade in from a dealer so I didn't have to install the arm but setting up at home was no big deal.

I bought my pre owned trade in 294 from hwdsound. Good people and very VERY passionate about nottinghams

Only cart I've used on my 294 is the clearaudio concept MC and it sounds really good actually but looking to upgrade so I'd be interested in suggestions too. Hwdsound recommended the kiseki blue ns and I've heard the purpleheart sounds great on a nott.

I bought a used Spacedeck one year ago in perfect condition, although it was already 25 years old! Was a great deal, ready to play with a Denon DL103 (MC).
Talking with miss Penny Jones from Nottingham Analogue, she told me that their turntables are better matched with MM carts and she suggested the ones from Nagaoka. This is kind of the "official " recommendation from Nottingham Analogue. 
Meanwhile I got a nice deal on a Goldring 1042 that I'm planning to install soon.

Penny told me the ortofon cadenza bronze would be a good match for the 12" arm if anyone is interested
