Nottingham tonearms compared to other brands?


Has anyone compared other tonearms on the Nottingham decks? I have heard the Nottingham arms are very good compare to some of the other brands out there. Price wise what is available? Any recommendations?

Most high compliance cartridges seem to be the heavy ones. Would you consider the Dynavector DV-20X-H high output mc cartridge a good match? It weighs in at 9.1 grams but has a compliance of 12 x 10-6 cm/dyn .
I'm putting the 20X on the 12 inch Anna Arm. I like the MM cartridge that came with the Space Ace on the 9 inch arm.
BR3098,

The Talisman Alchemist B MC is no where to be found on the internet to buy. I will be trying a Dynavector DV20 high output (2.5) MC on my Anna arm and will be checking out the Benz. The Cartridge that came with my Space Ace arm sounds good but I'm hoping the MC cart will give me a little more detail. Thanks for you input.
The gain on my George Wright WPP 200 phono stage goes to 60ohm, a LO might work without a step up transformer. Depends on how lo. I think my PA can handle a output of .5 and above.

Do you like the Rega arm more then the Nottingham arms? How does the new cable sound compared to the silver?
I have a Anna arm soon to be attached to the table. As for now my Ace Space arm with the NAS made cartridge sounds great. The NAS arms remind me of 17th century English dueling pistols as they have shot down all the competition. Cheers.
