Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.

Terry,

Thanks for the response. Do you really need all that equipment to get the sound you like on your Nottingham? I've been using "Tice" power filtration for 17 years and it has served me well. It's also has serge protection. I have the Nottingham motor plugged into the the unit with the least filtration.Am I going in the wrong direction?

Hello Zeal.

I'm rather a perfectionist, and that colours my judgement. Most sane people would think that one power filter of the Wave Mechanic's quality was enough.

As to your Tice filter, I'm afraid that I don't know the brand. But I do know and recommend the Wave Mechanic, and, guided by what I hear, have gone even further. I doubt if the Wave Mechanic would be overkill.

Terry,

Thanks for the reply. The table sounds fantastic without the Wave Mechanic. The tonearms are super adjustable and not to difficult to set up. I watch people's jaws drop when I show them the player. I only could find one questionable review saying the Wave Mechanic deaden the sound. I don't believe what I read anyway. I just wondered where other Nottingham owners placed the motor.

Try placing the motor up front on the left corner on the plinth. This does have a slight improvement on the sound.

You have a good table. Just don't audition a Well Tempered Amadeus and you should be all set.

Shakey,

I have the motor up front on the left because I have two tonearms. Well Tempered turntables are suppose to be good. Am I wrong?
