Tom is actually one of the straightest and most honest people I've ever met in the audio industry ââ'¬â€œ I'd believe what he said. He can already sell more decks than he can physically make so has little to gain by trying to flog another one to a cold caller. Tom is actually non-business minded to the extent that he'll happily gab to you on the phone for hours when he should really be making decks!
As to his point; the Hyperspace has now got a two part metal / carbon graphite platter and a new 'pumping' bearing, the Hyperspace in the pic does not have this, it's platter is not much more massy than a current spec Space, so given that he is continually tweaking his designs I'm sure that what he says is true.
Tony.
