What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?

Get the shorter platter. Trust me.

What are the differences in sound between the short and the tall platter. The seller prefer the short platter and claim the taller platter sound dead.

I have also hear another guy who owned both version and think the tall one is considerably better.

If you would please tell me your thought.

And what do you think about the price. I think it is a bit high consider the retail used to be $1500 for the spacedeck when he bought it.

Thanks

I cannot tell you about fair pricing. That is up to you.

I owned Spacedecks with both platters and I found the taller platter version pretty much as your person described. Still very good, but less lively and musical. Contrary to what some might otherwise think, I found the shorter version better in the area of speed stability. Place a Boston Audio Mat 1 on the short platter and you're set. In addition, if you can get one with the Spacearm it will wholly outdo the 250, IMHO.

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.
