Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.

Yes I know the Nott is a good table, I had two of them. But in all honesty, the WTA made it sound like it was broken.

But I'm not hijacking this thread. Enjoy your Spacedeck, it is a great table.

The Well Tempered looks like a Pro-Ject or a Rega. Perhaps you didn't have the Nottingham's set correctly.I never heard a Well Tempered but look foreword to the experience. I have 2 tonearms on my Ace, the Analogue and Ace arms. Sounds great.Had to tweek it and got it right.

I owned an earlier version of the Spacedeck initially with an OL arm. Then I moved to the Spacearm. Later I had the Ace-Space with it's arm. I am pretty sure both were set up correctly, and I am not throwing Nottingham under the bus. I loved the Spacedeck for many years and it's a fine sounding table. I just think the WTA is a level above.

I think a turntable only sounds as good as your whole system and as good as your phono stage.So your turntable sound depends on all the rest.

Sure it does. So you can't listen in a vacuum. But if turntable A sounds better than turntable B in the exact same system, then I gotta go with A.

You are correct though. I couldn't compare my TT in my system to the way yours sounds in your system. THEN we are comparing systems and not tables.
