What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?

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

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 would definately listen to gears before i buy. Unfortunately, I could find any in my area. The closet dealer is 10 hours away.

Fortunately, I am certain I will love what I hear regardless of tone arm I choose. Any combination will be a big step up from my VPI HW19 JR/AQ pt5.

I guess I just have to flip a coin then.

Hi,

Is this the spacedeck with taller platter?

The taller plater version is not the spacedeck with heavy kit, right?

If I understand correctly, the taller platter is just an updated platter for the latest spacedeck. If so, when did Nottingham change to taller platter?

Thanks
