Cadenza Black is optimized for an amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and purity of sound.

The Cadenza Black model is using a Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminium. It also uses the WRD/Wide Range Damping-system applied for MC Windfeld, MC A90, MC Anna, Xpression and MC A95 cartridges, controlling the high and low frequency damping separately. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold plated 6NX copper wire. Cadenza Black is high performing on areas like detail, consistency and sound staging.

You may notice we are not always necessarily the cheapest retailer of cartridges but we will ALWAYS include a free professional fitting with all our cartridges. Along with any routine check-ups on your turntable.

A step up from the X80L TV. Still using LED technology this unit has the full LED Array capability and ups its motion clarity to 'X-motion'.

This means more detail and a smoother picture.

A benefit of going Sony is their ease of use and all of the google andoid software ready to go. 

We think the X80L will be a happy mid point for people who'd like something better than the standard but where the subtle differences of the high end TVs aren't so important.

The last one of these left as the new model has arrived. New model VC-E2 is a bit more expensive ($829). This unit is brand new in a box.

This is an affordable way to step it up in your home record cleaning set up. Like the very best of record cleaners, it uses a vacuum to suck up all the residue of the cleaning liquid along with the dirt and grime on your records. Vacuums work so much better than the bath solutions picking up more of the mess on the record that's going to affect the sound and wear out your precious cartridge along the way.

For Audiophiles who love their vinyl, a good record cleaner is a must to prolong the life of your equipment and get the best quality out of the records.

This is what happened in 2009 when we launched the original Grail. During the years we came up with the Grail SB (balanced in and outputs) and the SE (balanced and a dual mono board).

And now there’s a new and even better kid in town! Meet the successor of the Grail SE and our newest flagship phono amplifier, the Van den Hul Grail SX.

Rotel is one cool and dedicated family owned company with fantastic provenance and a continuous fifty year history of distribution in Australia. They make all their own components in house with meticulous attention to detail. Even their basic model A10 amplifier has hand wound OFC copper toroidal power supply and purpose made capacitors. Before he left us Mr Ishiwata has colluded with Rotel to rebuild two of their highest value A11 series components and thus we have the Rotel CD11 Tribute Compact Disc Player and A11 Tribute Amplifier.

But there is a catch .... there is no surcharge ... making these the best Hi Fi value since ... the NAD 3020 amplifier of 1979 ...? StereoNet on the Rotel Tribute components

A slim and elegant form factor speaker but with a beefy sound. This is the archetype of the modern line array floorstanding loudspeaker.

The Acoustic Energy AE320 speakers have a very polite and neat appearance that leads one to believe that they are yet another effete English design for violin lovers ... however let them rip with a decently powerful amplifier and they are fast and furious with hard rock and roll, they don't hold back and at the same time, the brittle treble quality that characterises the West Atlantic continent designs is completely absent from these loudspeakers.
