Feature Product of the Week Abbington Music Research CD-77 CD Processor

We have just been appointed the distributor for Abbington Music Research (AMR). The first product that we want to introdcue is the Reference Class Compact Disk Processor (CD-77). The CD-77 is unrelenting in its maximisation of the sonic performance and pushes the performance of CD to a new level that seriously questions the ability of Super Audio CD®... It is one of the select few that bridges the performance gap between compact disk and vinyl or analogue master tapes. At the same time, available from AMR is also the AM-77 integrated amplifier.

New Product Added: Ortofon 2M Series, HRS SXR series (updated)

Leben CS-250 power amp, Air Tight Phono Stage/Pre-amplifier (ATE-2), Boston Audio Accessories (TuneBase, TunePlates, TuneBlocks - updated), Ortofon MC cartridges (Windfeld, Jubilee - revised), Esoteric Master Clock Generator (G-0s, G-0Rb G-03X), Esoteric DAC (D-01, D-03, D-05), EMT JSD5 & JSD6 cartridges, Avantgarde Acoustic Company Presentation (open a new browser)

Hot, New Cartridges from Air Tight!
19 September 2008

Click on image to read the full article ...Most of us are now familiar with the Air Tight PC-1 by now, after having garnered many awards (including Golden Ear and Product of the Year 2007 awards from Absolute Sound magazine) and rave reviews from practically all the major hifi magazines recently. This has the THE cartridge to own (or lust after) for the past year or so. But what if there is a desire for something even better than that, something more exclusive and exotic?

Air Tight has just introduced the brand new PC-1 Supreme, a limited production model luxuriously encased in a 24K gold plated body that is ... [ » more ]
Ortofon’s new Dynamic Balance tonearms
8 September 2008

Click on image to read the full article ...Though Ortofon is recognized as the world’s largest phono cartridge manufacturer, and also one of the most well respected, relatively little is known about their tonearms. This is really a shame as I feel that they make some very solid designs that are actually excellent value for the money (my opinion of course!).

Their latest offerings are a pair of arms from their so-called “Dynamic Balance” series called the RS-212D (9” arm) and RS-309D (12” arm). You might be interested to know that these are the same arms that were chosen by TW Acustic for their main demo ... [ » more ]
Rare NOS Tubes
27 August 2008

Click on image to read the full article ...Users of tube amps have known for the longest time that the most effective way to optimize the performance of their equipment is to substitute the standard factory-supplied tubes with high quality NOS versions.

I was given a stark reminder of this recently when, partly through the gentle insistence of one of my customers, I substituted the tubes in my demo units. After all, he even complemented me with a pair of excellent Telefunken 12AX7s for me to use! Oh my, the improvement was literally ‘night and day’! It seemed as if several veils were removed and everything ... [ » more ]
Sutherland PH-3D
8 July 2008

Click on image to read the full article ...For those vinylophiles who are looking for an affordable phono stage that is quiet, has a wide range of gain and impedance settings, and sounds good at the same time, the Sutherland PH-3D will seem like a God-send.

A winner of Absolute Sound magazine’s 2007 Editor’s Choice Award and Phono Stage of the Year award (2007), it has options for 5 gain and impedance settings with the use of gold-plated header pins and gold-plated shunts on its dual-mono signal board. They offer high-pressure and large surface area contacts compared to inexpensive, low-quality computer ... [ » more ]
TW Acustic !
5 July 2008

Click on image to read the full article ...I don’t know if Thomas Woschnick makes the best turntables in the world, but he is certainly the owner and designer of the hottest brand in analogue land right now, and probably for the next several years. It is also a product range that I have been earnestly seeking after for the last couple of years and for us to be finally appointed distributor for TW Acustic is sweet news indeed!

For those of you who have just come down from some hermitage in the mountains, TW Acustic manufactures 2 models of belt-driven turntables – the Raven AC and Raven One. Both are now ... [ » more ]

Ortofon cartridges - new 2M Series
2M is developed together with the Danish designer "Møller Jensen Design" from Copenhagen, Denmark - the same designer who designed the award winning cartridge MC Jubilee and the Kontrapunkt series.

The inspiration for designing the 2M series was related to the facets of the diamond - elegantly concentrating its contours against the grooves on the record surface.
