Tonearm for Nottingham Spacedeck

Just bought a Spacedeck (used ,but in very nice shape). I've long aimed for the OL Encouter arm.The Spacedeck came w.the Nott arm and it sounds very good.Is anyone out there running the Space w. an Encounter? BTW as far as the Space sounding "dark", I removed the plinth, added my Ringmat and improved the sound.How? It's more open & detailed w. a deeper somewhat wider sound stage. To my ears this change sounds very ,very good.(my wife and I attend symphonies regularly)Can the Nott dance? Well, yes,if the music does. Feedback re the Nott+Encounter will be greatly appreciated
