Hi all,
I hope you can help me on that topic.
I am currently thinking on buying my "end-game" turntable and I was focusing on the Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace with standard 12" arm.
Today I have a Thorens TD126 with Shure V15 type IV cartridge, but I find that it has a lack of refinement.
My phono stage is a Art Audio VP1 mk2.
Amp is Pass Labs INT25.
Speakers are Harbeth P3ESR SE.
But I have some major constraints :
- I am suffering from hyperacusis + tinnitus so I need a very smooth and laidback sound
- not a demonstrative neither "technical" sound
I was also looking at the LP12 that I plan to listen next Friday, but I find it very expensive.
I don't have the possibility to listen to the Hyperspace but I have a fair offer from a reseller.
So I'm just wondering if the Nottingham Analogue would be the best bet given my constraints or if the LP12 would be a better choice.
The thing I'm afraid of with the Nottingham is that, in case I cannot handle it with my ears, it will be difficult to sell and of course a big waste of money.
On the other hand, I have the feeling that it could be -if not the best- one of the best candidate.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Jeff
