"This is where the majesty begins" says Tom Fletcher, creator of the Nottingham Analogue line of turntables. And I have to agree. Before this, I had a Spacedeck, and the Hyperspace takes it up several notches.The Ace Anna arm must be heard to be believed . . . it is up there on a par with the Triplanar and Graham Phantom (and nipping at the heels of the Schroeder). I have been using a ZYX UNIverse cartridge (a Benz Ruby or Ebony are also a wonderful match) and the sound is to die for. Black background, huge soundstage, great image separation and image density, wonderful dynamics. Everything that's in the vinyl you hear, without anything added. The Hyperspace sells for $4,500 new, without arm. The top of the line, carbon fiber Ace Anna arm is $3,500 and the Wave Mechanic power supply is $750 . . . $8750. My asking price is very fair, so please no low-balling. I purchased the table used from a dealer. It has a couple of minor nicks on the platform and top of the platter that are barely visible because of the dark surface (and of course not visible on the platter when the dust cover or record are on it!). I would rate it a conservative 7.8. The Ace Anna arm and Wave Mechanic I purchased new from the same dealer. They are a 9. Insured shipping and Paypal fee paid by buyer (I will also accept a bank check or money order). TT will be carefully packed and arm will be shipped separately (I still have the original arm box). I have a PDF of the manual I can send to you. Buy with confidence from an Audiogon member with over 10 years perfect feedback. If you're local (Western Washington), bring a cartridge and come hear for yourself! Thanks for looking, John PS - I am also selling the Hyperspace's big brother . . the Dais. See my other listing.
