Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu

Posted by restock (A) on March 24, 2006 at 02:02:54

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.

Previous/current analog setups:
- Linn Basik/Akito/K9
- Rega Planar 3/RB300/Elys and Denon DL103
- Michell Tecnodec/RB600/Ortofon Kontrapunkt A and Denon DL103R
- Thorens TD150/TP13A

Remaining system:
Denon DL103R (as the initial cartridge)
Wright WPP200C phono (planned)

Any comments, experiences, recommendations?
