    Nottingham Analogue Space 294 w/ Moerch DP6 red dot 12" $2950

    I'm a fan of this table, and I think this is a good deal. The arm itself would sell for around $3600 new. Nice arm, BTW, which I imagine** would be a good match for the table as I've heard this one with other revealing arms. Moerch also sells arm tubes of differing mass, allowing for infinite freedom in cart selection.

    It looks like he'll need some convincing to ship it, but if I were looking for a sub $3k table/arm combo right now, I'd buy this. Unless a Roksan Xerxes 20+ came up used this afternoon.:)


    ** I haven't heard this exact combo before.

    Ok, so the last Xerxes 20 I saw up for sale was a few months ago and I now recall that it was without tonearm for $3k.

    But yeah, that's basically the one. Looks like your ad includes a full package with arm, cart and motor controller, but it's not the Plus version. I don't recall, either, what the Plus version has that the regular 20 does not. But I have only listened to a 20 Plus. And I agree with the seller's comment that it's a stellar performer. Explosive, without being fatiguing. I was taken by it.

    Not worth $500 IMHO. Took a spin with it on the listening tour and wasn't impressed.

    Somebody should buy these. The Xover modding potential is high and you can get these to throw an image that isn't typically horn-like. A nice 20 watt EL-34 based amp will make em rock hard. A powered subwoofer is recommended.

    IMO, yes, as long as the cones are in good condition and they sound OK. Heck for that money, even if there are issues I'd think about getting them and fixing them up. There are some very well-regarded aftermarket crossovers for Klipsch speakers. Crites I think is the guy/company that does those.

    @sfoclt Just messaged him. Would think of this with a Garrard to change up from my current vpi classic 3... I'd keep both if I could but I might sell the classic to play around with something else.
