Best arm for a Nottingham Spacedeck?


I like the Spacedeck, but I'm not that crazy about the Spacearm. The headshell wiring is very fragile and the whole thing looks more like a machinists' prototype than a production version. The table is a bargain at $1500, but the arm doesn't seem like it's worth $1000 to me.

What other arms have y'all found to work well? The OL Silver looks interesting. Anybody use it with a Spacedeck? Are there any issues with mounting Rega variants?

I'd like whatever arm I get to work well with a Dynavector 17D2 cartridge.

I can't see that the headshell wiring on the Spacearm is any different from most arms, I have compared it to the Graham 2.2, and the Triplanar, and the Morch, and Rega 1000, thought it was better than those, why second guess the designer. Tom Fletcher at NA has spent a life time listening to music on analouge, seems to me the arm and table have great synergy. I guess audiophiles need to mix and mismatch.
