Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.

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.

I don't know, this Nottingham is fantastic. I like the golf ball tonearm on the Well Tempered , neat.

Anyone with a Nottingham turntable ever tried the Wave Mechanic (Speed Control). Can the Pro-ject speed control do the job for less than half the price of a Wave Mechanic. My Ace Space sounds spectacular, with warmth, detail and transparency. Would the "Wave" be overkill?

Terry,

Thanks for the response. Do you really need all that equipment to get the sound you like on your Nottingham? I've been using "Tice" power filtration for 17 years and it has served me well. It's also has serge protection. I have the Nottingham motor plugged into the the unit with the least filtration.Am I going in the wrong direction?

Terry,

Thanks for the reply. The table sounds fantastic without the Wave Mechanic. The tonearms are super adjustable and not to difficult to set up. I watch people's jaws drop when I show them the player. I only could find one questionable review saying the Wave Mechanic deaden the sound. I don't believe what I read anyway. I just wondered where other Nottingham owners placed the motor.

Shakey,

I have the motor up front on the left because I have two tonearms. Well Tempered turntables are suppose to be good. Am I wrong?

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.

Shakey,

What kind of phono stage do you have?

Shakey,

When you say the WTA is better then the Nott in what way, Sound stage, warmth, detail?

That phono stage looks cool. Did you build it yourself? Which model do you have?

I have a rebuilt George Wright 200, it's very transparent.Are the K & K's giant killers?

Shakey, did you have a Wave Mechanic?
