I have a spacedeck with the OL silver arm. I upgraded from the standard RB300, and never tried the spacearm, so can't compare with that. You don't need a VTA adjuster with the Rega pod on the spacedeck as VTA is adjustable with the collet screw. I am running the OL with a Benz glider and am very happy with the sound. Pinpoint imaging with a lot of weight to the sound, nice bass extension and a warm midrange (although this may be due more to the cartridge).
Best arm for a Nottingham Spacedeck?
I like the Spacedeck, but I'm not that crazy about the Spacearm. The headshell wiring is very fragile and the whole thing looks more like a machinists' prototype than a production version. The table is a bargain at $1500, but the arm doesn't seem like it's worth $1000 to me.
What other arms have y'all found to work well? The OL Silver looks interesting. Anybody use it with a Spacedeck? Are there any issues with mounting Rega variants?
I'd like whatever arm I get to work well with a Dynavector 17D2 cartridge.
