Nottingham Analogue Horizon

Reintroduced due to its popularity, the Horizon is a compact turntable and tonearm package, offering excellent performance at a very reasonable price point. It’s an incredibly elegant design, the normal Nottingham Analogue philosophy is pared back to produce a distilled design that keeps the essential elements but reduces material used and therefore keeps the cost down.


The tonearm included is the carbon fibre arm tube’d Interspace Arm, a damped unipivot tonearm design with a lot in common with their more hi-end tonearms. The chunky 50mm think chassis contains the bearing and motor, and this sits atop an attractively curved plinth. A relatively high mass 27mm thick alloy platter ensures it has the hallmarks of its more expensive brothers, but at a more accessible price point.  


Speed change: Manual 33.3 & 45rpm

Lid: None (but blank Nottingham Analogue ‘LP’ dust cover is included to keep dust of the playing surface)

Finishes: Matt Black


Nottingham Analogue Horizon turntable and tonearm package: £1,000.00

Rega Planar 6

The Planar 6 (also called PL6) is the replacement for the very successful RP6 turntable. The most obvious change from its predecessor is the plinth, which is now made from a very lightweight foam cored laminate and finished in a tactile matt black on top with gloss black edging.

Mechanically there’s a new single piece aluminium sub platter, motor pulley and patent pending brass hub.


The turntable is powered by the Neo psu, a precision supply that offers both 33.3 and 45 rpm speed switching as well as user settable fine speed adjustment. A Rega white belt is included as standard, as well as a new smoked dust cover.


It is available without cartridge as well as a package price including Rega MM and MC cartridges, please see prices below.


Speed change: Electronic 33.3 & 45rpm

Lid: included

Finishes: Polaris Grey or White


Rega Planar 6 turntable: £1,155.00

Rega Planar 6 turntable with Exact MM cartridge fitted: £1,385.00

Rega Planar 6 turntable with Ania MC cartridge fitted: £1,615.00

Rega Planar 6 turntable with Ania Pro MC cartridge fitted: £1,870.00

Edwards Audio TT6

The TT6 (not to be confused with the TT6 Classic featured below) is the latest generation of turntable designs from Edwards Audio. This  stunning looking turntable that features a very novel plinth construction, made from seven layers of acrylic with an absorbent damping constrained layer between each one, it’s designed to offer a lightweight yet stiff base with a well controlled and low resonance spectrum of vibration.


The rest of the recipe is as you’d expect from Edwards Audio, a high grade 24v AC motor drives a precision machined aluminium hub upon which sits a 17mm thick machined acrylic platter.

The tonearm is an excellent contained uni pivot design that combines low friction with good stability and features an incredibly lightweight, low resonance and stiff pultruded (i.e. pulled and not woven) carbon fibre arm tube. I can well imagine many other manufacturers charging as much for this quality of tonearm as this entire turntable costs, the quality is exceptional.

Subjective impressions to follow shortly, but based on hearing development designs, this turntable should offer stunning performance its its price point.


Speeds: 33.3 & 45rpm, manual change (or electronic if you purchase the optional SC5 power supply)

Cartridge: Not included

Lid: colour matched Z lift off cover

Finishes: Grey, Black, Green, Blue, White and Red gloss acrylic (all with translucent in-between layers)


Edwards Audio TT6 turntable without cartridge: £1,199.95

Edwards Audio SC5 Power supply (optional upgrade): £299.95

Michell TecnoDec

The TecnoDec is the entry level Michell Turntable. It shares a lot of design elements with the more expensive Gyro SE, including a free standing DC motor (pictured below left), an acrylic/vinyl composite platter and oil pumping inverted bearing making it something of a bargain. As you’d expect from Michell it is beautifully engineered and very easy to setup and use thanks to its lack of suspension. The deck can be upgraded by the use of the Michell HR power supply (please see the power supply page for more details). The armboard (pictured below right) is a Rega cut and will accept both the original single point and newer 3 point fixings, and can be supplied with or without a range of tonearms, as priced below.


          

-Michell TecnoDec excluding tonearm: £1,200.00

-Michell TecnoDec MM Package, includes Michell T2 tonearm and Goldring E3 cartridge: £1,500.00 (saving £185 over the individual prices)

-Michell TecnoDec including Michell T2 tonearm excluding cartridge: £1,620.00

-Michell TecnoDec including Michell T3 tonearm excluding cartridge: £1,500.00


Pro-Ject X2

The X2 is, as the name suggest closely related to the X1 turntable featured elsewhere on this site. The main changes between the two models is that the X2 features a thicker plinth and platter, a different cartridge and another finish choice (detailed below).


Speeds: 33.3, 45 & 78rpm, electronic speed change

Cartridge: Ortofon 2M Silver MM cartridge Pre fitted

Lid: Included

Finishes:  Gloss Black, Satin black, gloss white and satin waxed real Walnut veneer

Project X2 turntable: £1,399.00


Nottingham Analogue Space Deck

 

The Nottingham Analogue Space deck has been around for a few years now (with over 10,000 sold) although you’d never know it, as it looks as fresh today as it did when it was launched.


The deck rests on a square wooden platform which is finished in gloss black as standard (the marble effect blue plinth in the pictures is no longer available), other colour options are available to special order. The deck can be used with or without this platform, as the deck and motor are both free standing.


It features a high mass platter and low torque motor, the idea being that the motor effectively tops up the energy to keep the platter rotating but without any excess that would result in a cogging effect as it rotates. This has a useful side effect in that the deck does away with a power switch, to use the deck you simply start the platter spinning by hand and stop it by slowing it, simple and wonderfully effective.


Almost any arm can be accommodated on the deck including Rega’s, SME’s and of course Nottingham Analogue’s own models. It’s also possible to fit two tonearms when required.


The deck is also easily upgradeable, with a wide range of modifications available from the factory, it also responds very well to the addition of a good power supply  (see our turntable power supplies page for more details).


Speeds: 33.3 & 45rpm, manual change

Lid: NA

Finish:  Black.


Nottingham Analogue Space Deck: £1,270.00 excluding tonearm


Nottingham Analogue Interspace Junior

The Interspace junior is a package of turntable and tonearm from Nottingham Analogue. The deck is based around a very solid plinth, with which houses the motor and bearing, and like the Space Deck it features a high mass platter. The tonearm is the Interspace unipivot tonearm with carbon fibre arm tube. We feel this is an excellent combination, which offers fantastic value for money and build quality.


Nottingham Analogue Interspace Junior: £1,400.00 including tonearm


Nottingham Analogue ACE Spacedeck

This is an evolved version of the standard Spacedeck mentioned above. It features a bearing with a higher  lead/bronze mix in it as well as a thrust pump at the bottom (like their more expensive decks). This gives a quieter bearing, lowering the noise floor allowing low level detail to be retrieved more readily. The armbase and motor housing are made from Steel with 10% lead content instead of the Aluminium used on the standard deck, again giving (much) higher mass and more damping.


Despite only a relatively small price jump and near identical appearance, the Ace Spacedeck really builds upon all of the strengths of the Spacedeck, the sound has even more authority and stability (which was hardly a failing of the original) without losing any speed or openness. For me, this deck is an absolute bargain for the performance it offers and is very highly recommended.


The turntable base and plinth are finished in black as standard, but other many other RAL colours are available to special order.


Nottingham Analogue Ace Spacedeck: £1,500.00 excluding tonearm



Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB

The 6 Perspex is a stylish turntable with some quite novel design elements. Magnetically suspended above the clear acrylic chassis is a Corian sub chassis, a hard and rigid material well suited to this particular application. The platter is vinyl topped, making it an ideal impedance match to an LP and the use of a screw down clamp helps reduce the problems with warped records. The tonearm included is the carbon fibre 9CC Evolution and the AC motor includes electronic speed switching. A hinged/lift off lid is included, making it an easy turntable to live with day to day. Cartridge packages are also available, please enquire for more details.


Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB turntable excluding cartridge: £1,799.00

Rega Planar 8

The Planar 8 is a striking evolution of the award winning RP8. What made its predecessor special, the lightweight skeletal chassis, has been taken to the extreme, with the latest model being much smaller and lighter yet simultaneously stiffer too. There’s no hinged lid or outer frame this time, just a lift off acrylic cover which is an elegant solution to keeping dust off the platter but of limited use stopping enquiring small fingers from touching the cartridge.

The tonearm is the new RB880 which features various advances over the old RB808 and boasts bearings that are optimised for exceptionally low friction without free play and are claimed to be adjusted to be accurate to within 1000th of a mm.


Finishing the deck off is a triple layer glass platter with very strong flywheel effect thanks to the concentration of weight at the perimeter, and the Neo PSU power supply which provides a clean supply with electronic speed control.


Finishes: Polaris Grey or White


Rega Planar 8 turntable excluding cartridge: £1,870.00

Rega Planar 8 turntable with Ania MC cartridge package price: £2,330.00

Nottingham Analogue Space 294

This is the third and top Space deck derivative, it has the same refinements seen in the ACE Space deck shown elsewhere but with a large 14” (355mm) platter which gives much more rotational stability due to its increased inertia. It can only be used with a 12” tonearm for obvious reasons, and unlike the other models in the range it will not take two tonearms.


The turntable base and plinth are finished in black as standard, but other many other RAL colours are available to special order.


Nottingham Analogue Space 294 turntable excluding tonearm £1,830.00
