Nottingham tonearms compared to other brands?

I have not but some here have; you could search the archive. If I remember right, the general consensus was that one would have to put an $2k or more Origin Live arm to better Spacearm mounted on the Spacedeck. I have no intention of doing it with my own Spacedeck. That arm is fine, just don't use low compliance and heavy MC cartridges.

I use Dyna 10X5 for now, but it is lighter. I know that many have 20X on their Spacearms and like it a lot. 9.1g is not really heavy. Spacearm's effective mass is about 9g so yes it should work just fine; and the compliance is okay. But again I have no personal experience with this combination.
I am thinking about trying some MM cartridge or perhaps the least expensive Lyra MC. But that Lyra is about $800 from the UK and more if you buy here.

Why HO? Everyone says that LO sounds better. You phono can't handle it well?
I want to try that Tracer cartridge you mentioned in another thread too but can't find it so far.
How did the Benz do the dynamics and bass? That would be my concern.

Terry9, where did you get Tracer cartridge? I might want to try it too.

Hello. Thank you for the info. I am currently using entry level Dynavector with my Spacedeck/Spacearm and want to try a good MM: Tracer, Goldring 1042 or Garrott.
