NOTTINGHAM HORIZON

Second-hand, in good condition, without scratches. No original package.

Turntable equipped with a Goldring E3 cartridge and Rega RB300 tonearm.

The Nottingham Horizon is a compact turntable, offering exceptional performance, distinguished by its elegant design and careful construction, handcrafted in Nottingham. The brand's philosophy, typically focused on more complex builds, has been simplified here to create a distilled product that retains the essential elements while reducing material usage, thus keeping costs down without sacrificing quality.

The sound produced by the Horizon is natural, musical, and free from obvious coloration. While it may lack some weight and scale compared to its more expensive counterparts, the "rightness" of the sound is clear and appreciated, making the listening experience engaging and authentic.

Another aspect that sets this model apart is its delicacy in reproducing music. While it doesn't have a powerful motor like those in higher-end models, the combination of a low-power motor and a relatively high-mass platter (10.8 lbs) allows for superior resolution. This "delicacy" in musical reproduction is a feature that consistently emerges and reflects the unique and refined approach in Tom Fletcher's designs.
