Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12

IMHO, the Interspace and up in the 'Not line will make you forget about the Linn (which I have owned). E-mail me in the event you'd like further detail on what I anticipate will be a sound choice for you.

Thanks your guide. Would you be more specific ?

Take 4yanx advice and go w/the Interspace. I've heard many state that even the Horizon will compete w/the Linn. Recommend a Shelter 501 II if you can find one in budget or Dynavector 10x5 or Denon 103 otherwise.

Take 4yanx's advice. I've never heard either of the tables myself, but I'd choose the Nott' over the Linn any day. It's just a better design all the way around.

The Innerspace comes with a Rega arm, right? If so then any of the cartridges recommended by Sbank would be excellent. The superb Shelter 501MkII is $100 over your budget. If that's too much then the Denon 103R is a very close second best, and a steal at <$300. Note that either of these cartridges will need a high gain phono stage or a stepup device. If THAT blows the budget or presents other problems, go with the 10x5.
