Radius 5 and Nima both won the
Hi-Fi News Awards for 2005.
Hi-Fi News on Radius 5: "Still the best player under
four-figures, with great see-through looks mirroring a startling transparency
of sound. Capable of handling good m-c cartridges too, thanks to worthy
unipivot Nima tonearm."
July 2004 5
Stars
"Looks,
feels and sounds fantastic; digs up details and organises it well. It
richly deserves each and every one of its five stars."

Radius5 Record Player
Available in transparent
acrylic, lacquered walnut veneer and lacquered maple veneer the Radius
5 borrows elements and technology from Roksan's world class record players
to combine innovation and practicality in this stunning piece of design.
Radius
5's drive mechanism utilises a custom made synchronous motor fitted
with a precision machined solid aluminium alloy pulley. The main bearing
housing and spindle are designed and high precision machined from solid
brass and stainless steel alloy to ensure smooth running and longevity.
The
single piece solid acrylic platter is precision machined to ensure speed
stability and then frost finished for smart aesthetic appearance. The
Main Bearing, Platter and Nima arm are mounted on the sub-plinth and
three point de-coupled from the main plinth. The motor assembly, also
mounted to the main plinth, is further de-coupled to avoid motor noise
and vibration break through. The sub-plinth thus isolates the cartridge/record
interface and preserves detail, timing and dynamics.
Three
chromed adjustable spiked feet assist levelling and optimum coupling
to the surface upon which the Radius 5 rests. Matched to the NIMA arm,
Radius 5 provides unparalleled performance demonstrating a perfect balance
between design, technology and value. Its superior resolution and composure
extracts plenty of detail in a well organised, crisp and informative
manner.

Radius 5/Nima
 HIFICRITIC
Vol1/No3 May/June 2007

“...
Radius 5/Nima
combo is a formidable performer, in spite of its quite reasonable
price. Its best feature is a wonderfully coherent and expressive midband,
which combines realistic dynamic bite with an impressively wide dynamic
range and low 'grunge' floor".
“The
fact that the whole record player is capable of delivering such a very
fine sound quality at a surprisingly realistic price indicates that
the Radius 5/Nima combo is much more than just a pretty looking turntable
-- It's also excellent sonic value for money. And if the Radius 5 is
this good, it's clearly time I checked out Roksan's current Xerxes
20 and TMS
2 turntables”.
