Nottingham Interspace vs Pear Audio vs Analogue Works

Can’t offer any opinions on the Volare apart from price wise it is likely more expensive than your other choices, all of which are variations on the late Tom Fletchers designs.

Thanks for your input. My other option is the new Feikert Volare which I have heard is quite good as well.
any thoughts ?

Nottingham Spacedeck here.
Read much about the 60hz hum in a few reviews. Never heard any in my system.
Dont think you will go far wrong with an Interspace ever.
I use an Achromat on mine and the better the cartridge the better she sings, seems to be no limit n how well it can perform, just my wallet!

I am a recovering former audio dealer.  One of my products was Pear Audio Blue turntables.  I specifically chose to represent Pear Audio because I was a former Nottingham owner and always loved these decks.  The Pear Audio turntables incorporated everything I enjoyed in Tom Fletcher's  designs and fixed (almost) everything I didn't like.  IMO, the entire Pear Audio line is a significant improvement over the Notts.

I do not have any experience with the Analog Works turntables.

Thanks

I use a NAS Interspace Jr with Jelco SA750D arm and I can't see it going anywhere.

No hum in my system, though it's not all completely quiet because of the phono stage. 

Great thanks,
have any issues w 60 hz hum?

If you get the Nottingham make sure to replace the stock felt mat. I and many others use Boston Audio Mat-1 graphite mat. 

Thanks 

I was lucky enough to find a used Nottingham Analogue Interspace complete with RB300 tonearm on eBay 2 years ago. I still can’t believe the guy only wanted £400!
Other system components cost much much more, but no intention to ever change this TT - sounds awesome.

Thanks 

I understand, you have to choose without auditioning.
I've been playing original Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm for years and intend on keeping it that way. Yes, Nottingham is a very well established company and a very popular brand in some circles, even more so in Europe. Newest Interspace deck/arm should be close enough to the original Spacedeck, though I have not heard it.
Personally, I might choose top of the line Pear Audio over Nottingham Dais but I would almost certainly choose the Interspace over entry level of anything !

Friend

the first turntable you listed has a long and successful history and probably better resale; the other two are new to me.  That is not to say that they are not good turntables; however, being a newer company takes time to make it to the review pages.
