Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace


Hello Guys,

I'm interested to buy one of the Hyperspace 9" space arm or the 294 12" space arm
Unfortunately I don't have any N.A.S dealer here so never listened one and never seen in real too.
Anyone here knows both? Could you tell me which is better?
Thanks in advance for opinions and suggestions

I do not know both but I have owned the 12". IMHO, Nottingham are not famous for their tonearms, which are nowhere near as good as their amazing turntables.
The signature of the Nott 12" is rather warm and slightly soft. Always musical but won't let you hear everything your turntable has to offer. If you like your tracking weight to be exactly the same at the beginning and end of the record, forget about this arm. If you just want a tonearm that you can get for a good price, will be 12" long and won't come in the way of the music, that might be your ticket.
If you want to use it on a Nott table, then I would try another brand budget permitting. You haven't heard how far a NA turntable can go until you've:
1) Used a better support underneath than the one supplied
2) Used it with another tonarm!
I believe NA's turntable are one of the best, if not the best, value in the high-end world today. Not so with their arms.
Thanks JBCortes! .. Very interesting point of view and experience
Always thought the N.A arms were as good as TT
