Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck

After contemplating purchasing other TT,s I have decided to just upgrade my existing TT, my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck.

I already use a Walker Motor Controller and it sits on Isoacoustics feet.

I think it's weak link right now is possible the stock Spacearm.

To that end looking for thoughts and suggestions for a good replacement. Using lomc carts right now, Scheu Analog MC SL and have the use of an Ortofon Cadenza Black.

Have looked briefly at Origin Live, Audiomods, Rega etc but have ZERO experience with tonearms apart from whatever has been on any TT I have owned at purchase time ( usually stock).

Not really looking to explore vintage or air bearing arms at this stage.

Thank you.

uberwaltz,

I have followed your posts for quite awhile. You keep doing these sideway, midfi upgrades and tweaks. Will you ever start saving your "nickles" and buy the real deal ?

You spent $5 K on "the Gate", is it just because you can play with it for 90 days and then return it risk free and get your money back? Seems like you will be one of the first, to return yours.

Some good suggestions on tonearms. Do your research, find one, maybe stretch your budget a bit and get a tonearm that will serve you Well for Years, TT base covered, now a Tonearm. Seems that you have enough cartridges to play with.

When your done playing with the Gate. Get a great tonearm.

$5 K on a tweak and you can’t find a great tonearm for your TT or they cost too much ? Get real already.
