Nottingham Space Deck 294

So Jaybo, this table has only been out for a very short while. And you have heard it already?

yes..i just returned from the uk. i have not heard it compared to the (longrunning) space deck, but it is impressive. i'm a turntable collector, and generally wait until a model is older to purchase. not sure i did the bigger platter, but it sounds wonderful.

Well that's nice to hear. I am on my second Spacedeck(taller platter) with Ace-Space arm and I love it. I would really like to hear the 294, this might be the next upgrade.

I have a 294 with shelter 901.I had a regular spacedeck with shelter 501.The 294 seems to trounce the old set-up:speed stability seems better,problem records seem to play more smoothly,surface noise greatly reduced(maybe cartridge has alot to do with that),overall it seems much more like Cd playback,in a good way,less analog artifacts,just more trouble free music.
Plus it looks absolutely killer in person.

I have the Space Deck 294 set up with the 12" Ace Space arm and the new Dynavector 17D3.

This set up was selected based on several auditions of various deck/arm/cartridge combo's put together by Jay at Audio Revelation (an audiogon merchant).

This combo suited my ears, equipment and budget best.

Regards,

Jeff
