Nottingham Analogue Studios Ace Spacedeck

The Ace Space Deck is the longest selling model in the Nottingham line with over 10,000 Spacedecks being sold worldwide. Though the same basic concepts are still evident from the original Space Deck, many improvements have been made. The latest Ace Space turntable has an increased platter and thickness as well as an improved bearing over its predecessors. The Ace Space turntable can accommodate up to two tonearms between 9" to 10" in length. The Ace Space Turntable can be further enhanced by the addition of the 7/8" Graphite heavy kit as well as the addition of the Wave Mechanic Power Supply.

Nottingham Analogue Studios
In a world of 'me too' products that offer nothing new or different to the consumer, Nottingham Analogue Studios offer something quite different in the approach to record playback. From the use of a very small AC motor that requires the user to spin the platter up to speed manually to the use of forms and materials quite different from the norm, Nottingham turntables are the exception to the rule.

In over thirty years of designing and building turntables in the heart of Sherwood Forest, Nottingham Analogue has followed a unique path based upon common sense and careful listening to create a timeless and musical product. All Nottingham tables, parts, and assembly are done on a one to one basis by skilled craftsmen. Nothing is outsourced or left in the hands of others. 

Everything from the size and shape of the parts, to the materials selected purely decided on how they sound and play back music is done for a reason. Every last detail from the type of rubber used for the dampening rings, to the type of platter material is examined for resonance properties and quite simply how they sound. Nothing is left to chance.

The key to turntable design is the marriage of materials. While each material may not be exotic in its own right, all are chosen to maintain a coherency and naturalness of sound throughout the entire frequency range.

From the very unique torque AC motor chosen to the mechanically damped uni-pivot tonearms, to the use of  graphite and steel for the platters, everything is done with the end result of playing music faithfully without any added flavor or colorations. One listen to a Nottingham Analogue turntable and you will agree that the art or reproducing music is alive and well.
