Hi Guys

I am currently running a Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck TT with origami re-wired RB300 and Denon DL110 through an Exposure super XV amp into Neat Elite SE speakers. I have been reading a lot about the supposed benefits of a better arm/cartridge to really make the NAS sing. What is your opinion? would a more expensive arm/cartridge give me a bigger bang for my buck? Any suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Paul
 
I think your arm/cartridge combination is pretty good but I think you should try to have a listen to the space arm, perhaps with maybe sumiko blue point special - or push the boat out with a Lyra argo i?
Although for the same sort of money there's lots else you could do. I might listen to a few other speakers.
 
Agree with Neil, the DL110 is superb but that deck deserves something better.

In addition to the Lyra you could also try the Dynavector DV17/3 and Audio Technica AT33PTG/2.

The Dynavector is the least characterful of the bunch and gives as very honest and true picture of what is on the disc, if that floats your boat.
