As hmv comes to the end of its year-long Centenary celebrations, the entertainment retailer has partnered with Henley Audio to release its 100 th Anniversary Turntable. Available for pre-order and on-sale from 27 th August, the special Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB turntable arrives in a limited edition of 300. Each deck includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

The collector’s item, priced at £399.99, lands as music fans in the UK continue to embrace vinyl, with more than five million records sold last year. The 100th Anniversary Turntable features hmv’s centenary logo and Nipper, the retailer’s mascot. Francis Barraud’s painting, titled ‘His Master’s Voice’, which originated in 1898, depicts Nipper – his brother’s dog – listening to a phonograph.

Barraud sold the original picture, with its copyright, to the Gramophone Company (now EMI) for a total of £100. In 1910, the Gramophone Company registered copyright of the name ‘His Master’s Voice’ and, in 1921, opened its first dedicated store at 363 Oxford Street. The new turntable cements the partnership between Pro-Ject, UK-based Henley Audio and hmv, which began in 2016 when the retailer launched in-store turntable displays as vinyl began to take off in the UK.

The stylish CNC-machined plinth of the turntable features no plastic parts, and careful manufacturing ensures no hollow spaces inside, avoiding unwanted vibrations within the chassis. The maker carries this philosophy through the design; the glass platter is also a heavy, zero-resonance form. Finally, the purpose-chosen turntable feet help to isolate the motor from ambient vibrations around your hi-fi system.
