Nottingham Analogue Interspace azimuth adjust???

Thanks,Br3098. I'll try twisting. Yes, the tonearm wires are a little scary, but, as Br3098 mentions, you've gotta be careful with any 'table setup, part of the fun!
BTW, this Nott is is my #3 table, I've got 2 in my main system, and this is for my bedroom setup. I have to say, i'm pretty impressed, it gives my much more expensive setups a decent run for their money. Simple, solid construction, really nice sound.

What cartridges have you Nott guys liked on this table? The Lyra Delos seems to work pretty well with this arm, has a little trouble tracking some of the tougher LPs...

In my opinion, all of the Nottingham tonearms sound best when used with a high compliance cartridge; that is, over 20cu or more. The compliance on your Delos cartridge is 12cu, which would indicate that it may not be the best match for this arm.

Cartridges I reccomend, based on my experience with the Nottingham SpaceArm include:
1- AT440MLa - the only MC cartridge I liked with the Nott arm. A lot of bang for the buck, but I prefered the Ortofon or the SS
2- Benz Ace SL - sounded very good, but not as good as with other tonearms
3- Grado "The Reference" (original version) - very nice, although a little light in the bass region
4- Ortofon 2M Black - the best match, for my rig and ears. Very neutral, works well for all music genres
5- Shure V15/IV - sounds very good, but not in the same league as the Ortofon
6- Soundsmith SMMC1 - high compliance version, sounds great. Warmer, more detailed but less musical than the Ortofon

I have a Spacedeck and frankly the Spacearm is not very good.

I like the platter and drive but that's about it.

Gmardinly,

Respectfully, I must disagree with you. Properly setup and mated to the right cartridge, the Space Arm is a wonderful sounding arm - one of the best 9" arms ever designed, IMO.

As I mentioned previously, this arm was designed for a high compliance cartridge. As these are somewhat out of favor these days, there are fewer options and most of them are not the popular "hot" cartridges that get written about.

How about this: I'll swap you your Space Arm for a Rega RB-250 - straight trade. Interested?

I must disagree as well. Spacearm is excellent. You would probably have to put $2k or more arm on the Spacedeck to significantly improve the combo.
