The Space Deck is the "sensible" starting point for someone wishing to slowly build up to an ultra-high performance turntable. By eventually adding the "heavy kit" (and additional platter element) and the Wave Mechanic outboard power supply, performance can be improved as budgets allow.

Review from Hi-Fi Choice: "- How does it sound? It sounds like music. If you are dead serious about this turntable stuff, the "Best Buy" Spacedeck is one of the first real ports of call… Most impressive of all is the sheer lack of artifice in the sound of this design – it plays LPs so honestly, it’s enough to make you want to sign you name in blow-torch on your CD collection."
