Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck

I was kidding. Go for it. YOLO.

I thought you was but sometimes hard to tell in the typed form!

True enough and I sure as sugar cannot take my money with me to the grave!

Although I am sure my daughter would not object to looking after my money for me.......

Still got the Spacedeck and 9 inch Spacearm.
Although after giving it a full service with fresh bearing oil and SmartTractor alignment we find the joys of hand made arms.
It is not quite 9 inch.... Lol
Specs say set pivot to spindle at 210 but impossible to align to any alignment with that.
Had to set to 208mm to get it to align correctly.
But now it really does sound better all the way through an album. I had been noticing very slight inner run distortion occasionally.

All I may do at this stage is look for a 12" Anna Spacearm.

Running Nagaoka MP 150 right now and very happy .

I’ve never been enamoured with Nottingham’s tonearms, but I can recommend Jelco’s 750 and 850 series arms, Micro Seiki MA-505 (I know you stated no vintage, but a well-kept MA-505 is hard to beat in terms of price/performance) and most of all, my current Thomas Schick 9 (actually a 9.6" arm).

I don’t know how 1500 Euro sounds, but to me it feels almost like a bargain. The bearings feel better than any I’ve operated before, the arm works equally well with a wide range of cartridge weights and compliances (depending on choice of headshell of course) and for the first time I feel that no compromises have to made in regards to any of my cartridges whilst using just a single arm.

The Schick is mounted on an Ace Spacedeck, which I frankly can’t see myself ever swapping out. I’ve listened to the Hyperspace, Space294 and Dais extensively without hearing any improvements worth shelling out for, not to mention at least a metric ton of other turntables through the years.

All fairly subjective of course and YMMV.

I had looked at or considered the Schick.
Interesting that both the 9 and the 12 inch are both the same price in euros?
Thank you for the link, will research them
