Nottingham Hyperspace - Listener Magazine

It [the Hyperspace] sounds bigger as in BIGGER—more spacious, more spread out—and darker as in lots of dark, space-like silence where silence ought to be… I spent almost two weeks with the Nottingham Analogue player before writing down a single word about it, because I kept hearing those qualities. This record player sounds big, and there’s a blacker, spacier silence behind the music. Really.

I have heard other big record players that sound big and that sound blackly silent between the notes, and they’ve mostly all shared an additional quality: They suck. They put me to sleep. They make impressive sounds, but they don’t really play music.

For whatever reason, the Hyper is a whole ‘nother story. Its presentation, its balance of sonic qualities, is very different as compared to that of the Linn or Roksan or Pink Triangle Anniversary or Rega 9 — but like them, it, too, makes music.

I was amazed at how much more music there was. The space opened to be very three dimensional. All the instruments in live recordings were very much more natural. They had realistic tone and colour. You could be deceived into believing the real thing was in front of you. I could not believe how much bass definition was missing before and just how much detail was in the mid-band. The treble was so sweet and full of colour.
