Hi HI recently been back to Nottingham analogue and checked over - new loom (thicker wire as with recent ones) fitted its in pretty good nick but the plinth has a couple of (impossible to photograph but there) marks which NA polished out for me. Recently (very kindly) set up by space jockey TonyL for me so should be a sound buy for anyone new to vinyl or wanting to upgrade. Looking for a quick sale as old knackered deck has my name on it - anyone with a fancy idler or DD wanting to part ex (money either way) please let me know (Technics sp10, thorens TD124 etc) looking for around £750 - can be heard working in stoke on trent if you want to try afore ye buy rgds darren Ps looks a bit like this [img]http://www.divineaudio.co.uk/images/htur338l.jpg[/img] blurb as follows - retail with the arm they go for circa £1500 so have priced it roughly 50% Tom Fletcher has been designing and manufacturing turntables for over thirty years, and this latest incarnation of his Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck is a superb transcription tool. You'll not find a more passionate advocate of analogue audio than he, and this enthusiasm extends to every small detail of the deck's design - which is brilliantly complete. It boasts rather unusual construction - three seperate pillars resting on a composite resin turntable platform (which measures 360mm deep, 455mm wide, and 50mm thick) are used to obviate any airborne or structure borne vibration. The turntable is placed on top of this platform along with the seperate, offboard motor. Sonically, the key defining characteristics of the Spacedeck are space, speed and evenness. It's a particularly open, expansive and dimensional deck with real rhythmic aplomb. You'll not find the generous 'vinyl-like' euphony of the Linn here, or the slight warmth of the Origin Live - rather it displays rifle-bolt precision which music fans will love. A fine example of an exceptionally capable engineer's art. Overall weight: 39 lbs Bearing: Single point admiralty bronze Dimensions: 18w x 14d x 8h Why we like it: The Spacedeck has an uncanny ability to transport the listener to the recording venue, such is its easy, unforced delivery. Its key defining characteristics are space, speed and evenness. This fast yet neutral audio footprint is addictive. What the press say: "How does it sound? It sounds like music. If you are dead serious about this turntable stuff, the 'Best Buy' Spacedeck is one of the first real ports of call."
