Nottingham Analogue Space 294 Turntable Product Description:
The Space 294 is as striking in its appearance as it is in its performance. The 294 refers to the pivot to spindle distance of this remarkable table.
Even in a family of special products, the Space 294 is outstanding.
One of the few turntables on the market ever to be specifically designed to take advantage of a 12 inch tonearm.
The longer arm affords less tracking error than a shorter arm,
and Nottingham have been extremely clever in avoiding the pitfalls typical of these longer and therefore heavier arms.
By eliminating as much mass as possible from the headshell end of the arm this table will track imperfect records with the best of them.
The 294 also has a 14" platter. By adding extra mass outside the diameter of the record, Tom Fletcher has greatly improved the rotational stability of the player.

Nottingham Analogue Ace Space Tonearm Product Description:
The Ace Space Arm design uses side stabilizer bars and tiny ball bearing chases to maintain azimuth.
Nottingham Analogue have also developed a proprietory damping material, the viscosity of which is such that it does not flow and does not require 'settling time'.
This material is applied to the centre pivot and the stabilizer bars.
Nottingham Analogue uses carbon fibre tubes with the fibres oriented the length of the tonearm not wrapped around it.
This greatly increases the strength, resonance control and rigidity of the arm.
The headshell is also unusual in that the orientation is in direct line with the tonearm and not offset in any way.
The headshell also has no finger lift.
These two features ensure that the arm is properly balanced from side to side and that no uncontrolled resonances are running around the headshell.
It produces a delightfully natural sound with exceptional speed and good dynamics.
