the bests new tt's out there for the money are the rega9, the well tempered, the oracle, the linn, and the origin. i know some of these aren't considered massive, but they all perform near the state-of-the-art, and they will always be in demand.
Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu
I have been considering upgrading my analog setup for a while (Michell Tecnodec and Thorens TD150 MKII). I will keep the Thorens as a nice example of a classic suspended deck. After many "light" turntables, I now would love to give mass-loaded table a try:
- Nottingham Spacedeck with Ace-Space arm
- Scheu Premier MKII with Moerch UP4 tonearm
I have listened to the Spacedeck a couple of times and love its solid sonic foundation, black backgrounds, solid bass, and warm but extremely detailed and tuneful sound. I have not had a chance to listen to the Scheu but would love to hear some comments and about direct comparisons with the Nottingham.
List of previous analog setups
Remaining system:
Denon DL103R (as the initial cartridge)
Wright WPP200C phono (planned)
Fi Y, Super X, First Watt F1
Cain & Cain Abby
Any comments, experiences, recommendations?
