Nottington Ace Space question, motor placement.

Sure it does. So you can't listen in a vacuum. But if turntable A sounds better than turntable B in the exact same system, then I gotta go with A.

You are correct though. I couldn't compare my TT in my system to the way yours sounds in your system. THEN we are comparing systems and not tables.

Shakey,

What kind of phono stage do you have?

Shakey,

When you say the WTA is better then the Nott in what way, Sound stage, warmth, detail?

I have a K&K phono stage. You can see the rest of my system listed.

The biggest improvement I noted was the superior dynamic range of the WTA. The difference between soft and loud and the increased "jump" factor.

I wouldn't say the tonal balance or soundstage is any different. But the music sounds more "live", like it just jumps off the record and into the room. This also gives an increased perception of detail.

That phono stage looks cool. Did you build it yourself? Which model do you have?
