What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?

You think the the original space arm will outperform the Origin Live Silver 250, right?

I heard the new Ace-space arm will do that. But not sure about the original space arm.

Thanks for your inputs.

I think so, and without any doubt. But, YOU need to know for yourself. See if you can listen to a few first. You say one person says this, another says that. Where does that leave you? Decidign who to believe? I know it's hard but your not going to get the definitive answer for you from anyone.

I would definately listen to gears before i buy. Unfortunately, I could find any in my area. The closet dealer is 10 hours away.

Fortunately, I am certain I will love what I hear regardless of tone arm I choose. Any combination will be a big step up from my VPI HW19 JR/AQ pt5.

I guess I just have to flip a coin then.

I have owned both Spacedecks. I can't say positively what 4yanx says is true. I have only heard the taller platter version with the Ace-Space, and this combination is a nice improvement over the original Spacedeck/Spacearm combo.

If you can get a B stock table with the Ace-Space for $2400.00 like you say, that would be the better bargain than the used one with the OL arm. I had that same arm on the Spacedeck, and even the original Spacearm is a better match for that table. And I think the new arm is better still.

Hi,

Is this the spacedeck with taller platter?

The taller plater version is not the spacedeck with heavy kit, right?

If I understand correctly, the taller platter is just an updated platter for the latest spacedeck. If so, when did Nottingham change to taller platter?

Thanks
