Interspace Junior w/BAD MAT1

About the Interspace Junior w/BAD MAT1

The Nottingham Interspace Junior turntable is a high-quality analogue turntable designed and manufactured by Nottingham Analogue Studio in Great Britain. It features a 50mm thick plinth onto which all components are mounted, providing a stable and resonance-controlled platform. The platter is a 37mm alloy disc running on a classic bronze bearing, designed for smooth and consistent rotation. The turntable includes the Interspace tonearm, a unipivot design with a carbon fiber arm wand that offers precise control of movement and energy paths, enhancing musical detail and dynamics. The tonearm is mounted on a custom unipivot assembly with careful attention to damping, balance, and azimuth adjustment. The turntable supports belt drive with speeds of 33 and 45 rpm. The finish is textured black, with options for color or gloss finish at extra cost. The design philosophy emphasizes minimal motor interference, using mass and inertia to maintain speed rather than powerful motors, resulting in reduced resonance and improved sound quality. The BAD MAT1 is an additional accessory mat (details not specified in the sources) likely used to improve record-to-platter interface and reduce vibrations further. This product is highly regarded for its British engineering and musical performance, suitable for audiophiles seeking a minimalist yet effective analogue playback system.
