It uses a wimpy motor. It is not my preferred way to spin a platter. I firmly believe the motor should control the platter, not the other way around. It's getting absurd to see all these belt-drive turntables' platters getting thicker and thicker and the motor gets smaller and smaller. I guess that's how they can charge you six figures on such silliness. The Nottingham has a decent platter and decent bearing so why don't you get a different stronger motor pod from another manufacturer and compare. I guarantee you if you use a stronger quality motor, you will get your engaging rhythm back. It's all reversible so you are not gutting anything. Give it a try. The cheapest way is to belt drive it with a cheap DD turntable via a dental floss. And if you don't like it, it will only cost you less than $100 and you can always resell it.
I used the Spacedeck for a while in my home before and while it has its sonic merits but it was way too polite sounding for my taste and every time the sound puts me to sleep.
