Nottingham service & arm setup


Picked up a Hyperspace w/ Anna arm recently, arm had aftermarket wiring done by previous owner which I did not like. Called ASL and sent the arm to England to re-wire, arm came back with brand new wiring for less than $300.

If that's not enough shock to a typical audiophile, Nottingham also replaced the bearing & polished the arm for me free of charge! Talked about customer service at it's best, kudo to Nottingham for the superb service!

Now my setup question.

I have used VPI & Graham, both allow user to adjust azimuth. I noticed the sound to come slightly off center with my Hyperspace/Anna/Denon 103R, is there any way to adjust azimuth or my only option is to tweak anti-skate until the sound is centered again?

Also, has anyone experimented with string instead of belt? I tried some nylon strings, it did not have enough traction and speed was slow regardless how much tension I exerted on the string and I did not want to put excessive wear on the motor bearing.

I may be corrected. My understanding is the new Ace-Anna arm has the feature to adjust by twisting the headshell. The older Anna arm does not.

As an aside. The forum at Pink fish media is the place to go for questions regarding Nottingham. There are many enthusiastic owners who will answer questions.
