• Linn Klimax LP12

    Best of the best

    Few products stand out in the High End Audio world like the legendary  Sondek LP 12. Arriving in 1973 the LP 12 set the standard for Transcription Turntables. Established Linn Audio products as a High End Marque and elevated Ivor Tiefenbrun into the ranks of Hi Fi legends all with one Turntable. 1973 was a long time ago and Linn has not stood on its laurels, The LP 12 has undergone many upgrades, modifications and enhancements whilst remarkably looking like a "normal" turntable and still bearing a strong unshakable ancestry to the very first Sondek.

    This Klimax LP 12 is the "Best of the Best" in the range, featuring the most sophisticated components Linn can offer. These include the Ekos SE tone arm, Kandid moving coil cartridge, Keel sub chassis, Radikal power supply and Urika II Moving Coil phono stage built-in to suspended base.

     

  • The Response D48 was designed and built to replace ProAc previous flagship floorstander, the Response D40. By any measure this must have been a huge challenge as the D40 achieved cult status during it's production run. ProAc doesn't introduce new models just for fun or fashion, so the new D48R can be considered a totally new design. Indeed all it shares with the D40 is the cabinet size and the Brand name!

    The Ribbon tweeter is a standout but the changes and improvements do not end there. The Mid/bass drivers are also a new ProAc design and likewise the crossover, designed by Stewart Tyler and assembled using the finest components.

    So like the D40 but better. A more expansive soundstage, more detailed midrange with smoother more extended frequency response. The bass is tighter and even more tuneful. A worthy successor.

  • ProAc Response D30S

    ProAc have updated the D30 to a D30S. Still available in a dome or ribbon tweeter - Response D30DS and D30RS respectively. ProAc have developed a new bass driver using a cone similar to that used in our Response D48, the cone is made from pulp and Mika and is coated with an acoustic dope it also now has a phase plug to improve detail at the crossover point, which will give a more natural sound. The Response D30S' now offer a beautifully flat response. The new bass driver and crossover will give better mid-range detail and a wider sound stage. The D30S offers an exceptional accurate portrayal of the music with powerful bass response and excellent midrange detail with low colouration. They also offer a resistive load and are easy to drive. We use a crossover with the finest quality components split for bi-wiring and bi-amping through our beautiful nickel silver terminals.  
  • The Clearaudio Innovation

    In the world of turntable construction the Innovation is the ultimate technological prototype.

    The goal of high-end analogue is to perfectly merge technology, workmanship and design and subordinate them to one single target: the best possible music reproduction. At Clearaudio, all development, design and production remain firmly in the hands of a perfectly experienced and attuned team of specialists who never lose sight of that goal, and who uphold the Clearaudio philosophy and high quality standards.

    From the tiniest part to the full audiophile 'Gesamtkunstwerk' (a complete work of art that draws on many art forms), at Clearaudio everything is meticulously made by hand – with maximum precision and plenty of passion. Precision-crafted mechanics and the use of components fine-tuned for density, mass and shape guarantee mechanical harmony and the absence of resonance when playing records.

    The ingredients are high-density multi-layered wood, titanium, stainless steel V2A, aluminium and specially developed high-performance plastics. Two parameters are of critical importance: maximum performance of music playback and technically effective design, as well as the aesthetic beauty of our creations.

  •  Mains Conditioner and Voltage Regulator

    One has to go back in time a very long way to experience recorded audio without the benefit of electrical power. Indeed electrical power is fundamental to every home audio system, in our opinion only second in importance to the actual recorded music, and then only by a small margin. What most people fail to realize is that the energy that flows from a wall socket is really a "Power Signal". This power signal should be 50Hz and this figure is well within the Audio band. The nature of our power generation, distribution grid and varied load characteristics results in a horribly polluted 50Hz Power Signal. Additionally this signal is actually altered by the huge number of power factor modifying loads it is required to drive. This polluted and corrupted power can easily, and usually does, adversely effect the quality of audio a system can deliver. There are solutions and the Torus Power AVR2 16 voltage regulator and conditioner is one worthy example.

    The Torus Power AVR2 Series will not only clean much of the harmful noise from the power supply, it will also provide a measure of voltage regulation. The heart of the unit is a large toroidal isolation transformer and this also contributes to the marques name "Torus". Suitable for medium and large sized systems and equally suited to Audio as well as Video systems.

  • Linn Krystal Moving Coil Cartridge

    Two years in development, Krystal uses the design principles of our leading moving coil cartridge Kandid to capture the minute changes in the record groove, letting you hear every musical detail.

    Krystal features a similar approach to minimising mass as Kandid, using a nude design to give the cartridge less inertia so it can react more quickly to the changes in the groove. It also uses the triple-point mounting system for a solid connection to the tone arm head shell, while the aircraft grade 7075 aluminium chassis provides a lightweight, stiff and stable platform for the generator. Even the adhesive used on Krystal was painstakingly selected to provide the most rigid bond possible to avoid any dampening effects.

    Whether you specify Krystal on your current turntable or buy it as part of an Akurate LP12 , you're guaranteed to enjoy a more musical performance from all your vinyl.

  • The Clearaudio Innovation Compact

    Ticket to the top of the world

    The Innovation Compact turntable with its very efficient design is nothing less than an audiophile revelation. Thanks to optical speed control (OSC), speed stability values are obtained that lift this turntable into the global high end class.

    Perfectly matched materials meet patented Clearaudio technology. The 70mm-thick platter of the Innovation Compact consists of dynamically balanced polyoxymethylene (POM) and is powered by a high-torque DC motor with precision bearings, developed exclusively for Clearaudio.

    The optimally designed chassis keeps resonances out of the audible range and guarantees maximum stability in a housing made of a massive panzerholz (bullet proof wood) and aluminium sandwich. Timeless design with quality built to last for decades. To enhance flexibility the Innovation Compact has the option to mount a second tone arm, making it possible to play a rich variety of music from across the decades.

  • Turntable of the year

  • The Ultimate British Monitor

    Sometimes, just sometimes, we modern humans are guilty of huberous. It seems that everything needs to be the latest, glossiest and most techno fashionable, to be be desirable today and then throw-away-able tomorrow! This of course blinds us to to a few fundamental facts. Truly competent amplifiers were developed a hundred years ago and there is a reason why we used to make all those rectangular stand mount boxy speakers in the 1960s-1970s.

    Don't take my word for it!  please read the review via the link on this listing. This classic large stand mounted loudspeaker simply sounds wonderful. And whilst sound quality should be foremost in any speaker evaluation, we just love the slab sided, in your face retro look of these monitors. Take a closer look and you will see real state of the art, driver and crossover technology. Once satisfied that the components are high quality, take a look at the beautifully applied real wood timber veneer and highly polished finish.

    Harbeth's Super HL5plus XD, driven correctly, produces a huge sound stage of width, depth and weight for a total immersion in the musical performance. We were blown away!
