Description

The New Horizon 129 turntable is a significant evolution of the 121 model, including the new NH-91 9-inch aluminium/nylon arm. It offers simple functions and a sleek design to meet audiophile demands, but at a very affordable price.

NEW HORIZON 129: PLINTH

The New Horizon 129 is proposed with a 25mm MDF plinth, covered with a veneer ensuring excellent rigidity.

The traditional rectangle is made original by a half-moon defence on the front. This is the manufacturer's trademark and can be found on all New Horizon products. The baseboard rests on 3 new specific feet eliminating as much as possible the vibrations of the support.

NEW HORIZON 129 : ARM AND PHONO CARTRIDGE

This turntable is the first to receive the new NH91 9" aluminium/nylon arm. This arm is entirely designed and manufactured by New Horizon in Italy. It is simple but highly efficient, thanks to its precision machining.

It comes standard with an Audio Technica AT 91R MM cartridge.

NEW HORIZON 129: PLATTER AND DRIVE UNIT

The 12mm thick methacrylate platter weighs 1.05kg and is driven by an external extra thin silicon belt.

The AC/24v synchronous motor is isolated from the turntable so that no vibration or noise is generated in the platter or arm.

The drive shaft is precision machined from milled aluminium. It rests on a ¼ inch steel ball on the top of the pivot. It ensures a frictionless and perfectly silent rotation.

NEW HORIZON 129: CABLE AND ACCESSORY

The phono cable is detachable. The female RCA connectors and the turntable ground terminal are of excellent quality and gold-plated with separate ground terminal.

A stylish methacrylate dust cover is supplied with the New Horizon 129.

NEW HORIZON 101: TEST AND LISTEN

As soon as we took the New Horizon 129 out of the packaging, we were immediately impressed by the design of this little vinyl turntable. When we put it together, we quickly realise that the designers have really tried to optimise the product, while trying to offer the best possible quality/price/performance ratio.

The manufacturing is excellent and breathes the healthy "Made in Italy"!

The solutions adopted to avoid vibrations are particularly effective. It is worth noting that they are rarely (if ever) optimised in this price range. These specificities really allow to get the most out of the phono cartridge and the arm.

This allows the maximum information to be extracted from the groove, while maintaining dynamics and swing. The timbres are realistic and the soundstage very wide and ample for a product of this range.

This New Horizon 129 turntable offers a convincing musicality and design and a nice alternative to the traditional Rega and Pro-Ject turntables... We were also seduced by the Italian manufacturing.

To be recommended!
