ACE SPACEDECK

The Ace Spacedeck stands as a masterclass in minimalist high-fidelity engineering, stripping away unnecessary complexity to leave only the music. By isolating the platter, tonearm, and motor into a resonance-controlled architecture, Nottingham Analogue Studio ensures that the mechanical environment remains silent, allowing the stylus to trace the groove with complete freedom. At its heart lies a sophisticated oil-pumping lead-bronze bearing that draws from the legendary Hyperspace design, paired with a substantial alloy platter that provides exceptional rotational stability. The motor is purposely low-torque, requiring a gentle manual nudge to reach speed, a design choice that prevents the motor from fighting the record and introducing unwanted vibration into the signal path. With its heavy-dense steel motor housing and arm base, the Ace Spacedeck achieves a level of damping that transforms standard playback into a holographic experience. It is a deck built for the long term, offering a remarkably low noise floor and an expansive soundstage that makes every listening session feel like a discovery.
