GD301
Gepositioneerd tussen de
New Horizon Series 200 en Reference Series biedt
New Horizon de GD301. Ook hier vormt de basis de
basis. Een 24V AC synchroonmotor in zijn unieke
New Horizon ophanging, een omgekeerd lager, een
ronde siliconen snaar, een stofkap, groot
formaat stelvoeten en vergulde chassisdelen.
Uniek voor de GD301 is de behuizing die is
opgebouwd uit één massieve sokkel met een dikte
van 40 mm met hierin een door vier afgestemde
veren opgehangen motor. De GD301 weegt mede door
het 28 mm dikke acrylaat plateau 10 kilogram en
de afmetingen zijn 450 x 365 x 155 mm. De in
hoogte verstelbare en vernieuwde New Horizon 9
inch NH95 toonarm is gemaakt van Alumide®. Twee
extra contragewichten die toepassing van alle
gangbare ele menten mogelijk maken, worden als
standaard bijgeleverd. Naast azimuth en
antiskating is ook de vertical tracking angle (VTA
of toonarmhoogte) instelbaar. Een element wordt
niet bijgeleverd. De GD301 is verkrijgbaar vanaf
€ 1.999. Voor € 2.499 wordt de GD301CER
geleverd. Dit model is voorzien van een
keramische lagering in de toonarm en een messing
plateau-lager. Optioneel voor beide 301 modellen
zijn de prachtige houtfineer afwerkingen.

Model GD301
From the
beginning, we have set ourselves to always
improve, and the 301 is the fruit of that
commitment! Each element contributes to
harmonious proportions and at first glance you
can feel the energy released by the perfection
of the dynamic trajectories that cross the
turntable. Excellence begins at the base. The
feet are not only support but are an integral
part of the plinth, in the dual function of
isolation and dissipation of vibrations
generated when reading the vinyl. This is why we
have completely redesigned and made them with
technical materials, enclosing them in an
important, unique, beautiful design. The thick
plinth is machined from solid to enhance the
solidity, encloses and supports the electrical
and mechanical organs, providing the mass needed
to counter any unwanted vibration. Order and
cleanliness reign supreme both below and above
the surface, showing only the essential and the
seductive. The synchronous motor with elastic
mounting, exclusive to New Horizon, transmits
motion through the pulley, also redesigned, to
adapt to the extraordinary sized plate. Sturdy
bones and full-bodied structure for this
imposing turntable that translates into a
majestic, firm and delicate sound together.
Credit goes to the synergy of the elements that
compose it including the silicone belt, graceful
but tenacious, and the particular inverted
bearing result of a brilliant idea developed
with a serious design and field trials. From the
warmth of wood, the magic of sound. With the new
301 there is plenty of choice among the
wonderful finishes available, how can you resist
so much beauty?
HWT Plinth
Heavy Weight and Thickness – The plinth of the
301 has been redesigned with a new weight
distribution to improve stability and rigidity.
In this turntable the thickness of the HDF (High
Density Fibreboard, high density wood pulp
bonded to artificial resins) has grown up to 40
mm to dampen vibrations and resonances at
subsonic frequencies. This arrangement also
allows you to completely separate the power
section of the engine and the section of the
audio signal to the advantage of the sound.
Synchronous AC motor
The turntable pulsating heart is the compact
24VAC synchronous motor whose main feature is
its extremely regular rotation, independent from
the variations of the mains voltage, given that
its speed depends on the mains frequency. The
high torque and the rotation speed of 500 rpm
actively contribute to the regularity and
fluidity of the plate rotation.
Mechanical suspension
The 301 is a set of mechanical moving parts and
the main internal source of noise and vibrations
is the motor which therefore must be isolated as
much as possible from all other parts of the
turntable. The engine isolation in New Horizon
turntables is a unique mechanical suspension
system. Through precision steel springs,
calibrated on the suspended weight of the motor
and pulley, the transmission of the oscillations
to the plinth is efficiently blocked.
Belt Drive
The transmission of motion to the plate is
realized by a special silicone belt. The choice
of this material ensures the best energy
transfer and excellent decoupling from the
vibrations produced by the engine during
operation.
Inverted Bearing
One of the Plus Points of the New Horizon
turntables is the plate rotation pivot. The
perfection of the movement is the result of a
long development and several prototypes. Today
the piece in production has a sturdy inverted
bearing structure in three pieces of aluminum
and steel that guarantee the maximum “silence”
and very low rotation friction.
NH95 New Horizon Arm
The plinth houses the excellent 9″ NH95 straight
arm, available in ceramic version too. The
movement of this jewel of mechanics is based on
four high precision radial bearings. The tube is
a sandwich of nylon and aluminum worked to break
down the resonances and dampen the section
dedicated to the counterweight. In addition to
the truly progressive proprietary anti-skating,
it offers all the micro-adjustments possible to
take full advantage of the characteristics of
any cartridge from azimuth to vertical tube
alignment (VTA). The choice of accessories is
completed by the tools necessary for its
adjustment also by a handy sling bar.
FLP Plate
Full Lathed Platter – The appearance is
extremely important: the 301 is equipped with an
extraordinary 30mm thick Crystal Methacrylate
plate, laser cut and then precision lathe
machined on all sides. This material has a
natural elegance and a high specific weight,
perfect for maintaining kinetic energy and
dissipating vibrations.
RCA Output Terminals
New Horizon turntables are best interfaced with
your electronics. The 301 is equipped with two
separate terminals for power supply and audio
signal, so as to effectively isolate the
delicate connections that carry the musical
message from the cartridge. A high-quality
insulating plate accommodates high-quality
gold-plated RCA output terminals and a separate
ground connector.
Feet 6040RD
The New Horizon 6040RD feet enhance the sonic
characteristics of any hifi device by providing
better vibration and resonance isolation. They
are made of Delrin®, steel, low density natural
rubber and HQR compound (Hard Quiet Rubber),
cleaning the system from spurious vibrations,
noticeably improving the acoustic scene, detail
and three-dimensionality.
