Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables??


They look like a good idea.I have a DJ Denon with a swappaple headshell right now but feel if I had more than one arm I could have stereo/mono/beater cartridges better with better mounting,allignment etc.Gues my primary question is how most of them output.Do you have more than one set of cables or are there switches on say Clearaudio,Nottingham,Acoustic Signature etc.Looking for something in the $1500-$3K list range and would appreciate any suggetsions of what to look at.Just don't think swapping headshells or srewing in armtubes is way to go but maybe I am wrong and should stay with the VPI table/arm I have.Been told by one dealer to not think about how much space my two decks are taking up and think about primary Tables sonics (I have a VPI extended).

Ohlala is correct. I have a NA Spacearm with a Tracer #3 (MM) cartidge and an Origin Live Silver with a Grado (MC) on my Spacedeck. No switches, no exchanging connections at the preamp. My Kora Eclipse has separate phono inputs for MM and MC cartridges and I just switch between the two with the remote, when needed. It is SWEET.
HifiHarv- Yes, there is a separate pad that is attached in place of the stationary leg at the left rear of the bearing support platform - where your motor and pulley now sit. The pulley is then relocated to the front left area of the support deck. I have to admit that I got mine with the turntable as a package so I am not sure how much it would cost as a separate. Audiophile Systems is the U.S. distributor for Nottingham (aslgroup.com). I'd try them.

Specific information about Nottingham products is somewhat hard to come by and is usually as "bare bones" as the setup instruction sheet that comes with the table! :-) It is a GREAT table, though, no complaints at all. I will e-mail to you a picture of Spacedeck with two arms!
