Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.


How far should the motor be placed on a Nottingham Ace Space from the turntable?
zeal
At the point where there is enough tension so the belt doesn't slip. It will look tight, but don't overdo it.
I learned that I was stretching the ring on my VPI. It does indeed take very little force . So whatever you do start with as little stretch as will drive the table to propper speed.
Anyone with a Nottingham turntable ever tried the Wave Mechanic (Speed Control). Can the Pro-ject speed control do the job for less than half the price of a Wave Mechanic. My Ace Space sounds spectacular, with warmth, detail and transparency. Would the "Wave" be overkill?
