The Clearaudio Emotion turntable package includes the Satisfy tonearm and Classics MM cartridge.
This record player produces a level of detail, speed and openness which is very unusual for a design in this price range, and it has superb build quality and looks to match.
Also available in Blue for £775 (other finishes including Red and Black coming soon).

The Champion is a non suspended deck with an acrylic chassis (available in either clear or black) and an acrylic platter. The motor is housed in a free standing pod made from stainless steel. The removable armboard is available with cut outs for either Rega or the Clearaudio Unify arm.
This deck is unusually complete with everything from a spirit level, demonstration LP and record clamp included within the box.
Its sound is fast, open and detailed with good dynamic expression.

The Roksan Radius 5 is quite an unusual turntable and a welcome return to more affordable turntables from this mould breaking company. Available for £995 in acrylic (shown here) and £895 in Cherry, the price includes the Nima tonearm but not a cartridge.

The chassis is supported on 3 spikes and the sub-chassis is then decoupled from it by compliant rubber supports which are similar in nature to those found on Roksan’s more expensive Xerxes turntable. The motor is also compliantly mounted to reduce any noise entering the platter. In the photograph above, taken with the platter removed, you can even see the power supply through the acrylic.

The Nima tonearm is quite radical in both appearance and construction. Its a unipivot design which gives certain benefits due to the simplicity of its construction.
The sound of the Radius is one of openness, space and flow, the latter characteristic which is a particular attribute of the Unipivot arm used.

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 a very appealing marbleised blue/black. It 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 start 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.
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 including the likes of the Project Speedbox SE or the £500 Wave mechanic power supply.


The Gyro SE (short for Spider Edition) is a suspended turntable which combines high suspended mass (11kg) with a low mass acrylic chassis. A free standing DC motor reduces noise transfer and is powered from an external power supply which is upgradeable with the HR power supply that uses the Never Connected technology.
It is a very neutral sounding deck that lets the character of the arm and cartridge dictate the tonality of sound, although it always has good solidity with well defined imaging.

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.

This is an evolved version of the standard Spacedeck mentioned above. It features a bearing with more lead bronze 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 higher mass and more damping.

This is the classic turntable that spawned the Gyro SE (featured above). It differs from the SE by having a full size plinth and a hinged dust cover. The SE arguably has a slight edge in terms of performance due to its lower mass and smaller surface area which reduces its susceptibility to acoustic borne feedback, however from a convenience point of view the full version easily wins for most people because of its convenient hinged dust cover.
