This is a must-have upgrade for Pro-ject turntables. This unit is designed for the Debut and Xpression models. You can upgrade platters on Essential and Elemental turntables but you'll need the Acryl-It E platter.

One of the main criticisms of Pro-Ject turntables is their metal platters, that may be heavy but are also extremely acoustically resonant. Not good, when these resonances can be picked up by the needle and amplified through your system. 

The Acryl-It, however, is an Acrylic platter that is highly acoustically dampening. And easy and relatively cost effective upgrade for your Vinyl player.

It also really updates the look of your turntable. No felt matt needed with these so there's just the sexy transparent acrylic between you and Vinyl Nirvana.

Perhaps the best value in the Classic range. Absolutely gorgeous midrange. So lifelike!. Enough fast, accurate, bass to sound full range but a still easy to accommodate in any room enclosure size. Built in the UK to the same exacting standards as the SP200!

Every aspect of the VEGA G2.1’s engineering has been designed to push the boundaries of
sonic performance, reshaping data into vibrant musical performance. From the addition of
integrated streaming to its unique casework, the VEGA G2.1 is transforming the idea of
what a DAC can be.

The TA-1000 Neo is one step up from Acoustic Signature's basic tonearm. A stellar performer that tracks brilliantly thanks to precisely made and engineered bearings.

12" Silver $3900

Black add $1400 (extra)

Gold add $3400 (extra)

Black and Gold colour options are special order.

Yes, this is Acoustic Signature's baby tonearm but don't let that fool you into thinking this is anything but a precision made, top perfoming tonearm. 

Its tracking capabilities are already far superior than the other brands of tonearms we stock. 

It has very low resonance with its dual layer internal carbon damping. 

This Tonearm is a joy to work with. All the adjustability allowing for precision mounting of cartridges. None of the hang ups and compromises built-in that are persent in other Tonearm brands...

Do you often start playing a record and then get distracted by something else or fall asleep on the couch with a half finished glass of wine...?

This automatic turntable starts with a press of a button and will automatically pop up once it reaches the end of the record. No need to worry about wearing out your cartridge while it endlessly rubs against the label on your LPs! 

And it's built well where other Automatic decks make compromises.

The D7.2 is an unusual synthesis of absolute trad cabinetry and artisanship in woodwork allied to one of the most sophisticated high frequency drive units we have seen. They are aesthetically understated in a way that doesn't translate to imagery but draws people to them in the flesh.

Even the shipping carton is unlike that of other brands. It is made out of a stiff unlabled very high quality cardboard that itself feels like it has ben made by hand to survive a journey through time. Honestly it feels the way they used to make boxes for Hi fi gear in the seventies..

Hi Fi Choice on the Spendor D7.2

IsoTek’s EVO3 Super Titan represents (probably) the most powerful power cleaning system in the world, specifically designed for high end power amplifiers. The device is capable of running at 32A with the correct input feed. The Super Titan will dramatically lower noise floor, give greater soundstage with enhanced separation between instruments, a greater sense of air, space and overall timing. Bass will become deeper, yet more articulate allowing you to hear and almost touch a more holographic soundstage.

Housed in a machined aluminium case with full resonance control isolation system (ISIS) EVO3 Super Titan is a statement product that totally redefines what is possible with the cleaning of the mains supply.

An answer to a problem you didnt think you had. Our ex display Leema Corvus will work wonders integrating into high end home theatres where the user would like to improve the performance of their centre speaker and subwoofer control. Ex display. Unit has been here for a while, to move it we would be happy to do an excellent deal on a centre channel & or subwoofer.

A large Bookshelf speaker that sits in the reference range of Legend Acoustics.

Dr Rod has made some significant changes to the design of the Kurres. They now feature a Berilium tweeter for even more precision and control!

They are also just that bit more efficient than the older Kurre 12s and have a more dynamic bigger feel to them because of that.

They retain all that we love about the Kurres. Neutral tonality, clarity and precision.

All of that from an Australian manufacturer and handcrafted finish in real wood timbers.

This is a speaker that sounds well and truly above its price point.

Looking like a wet dream Q Acoustic 3030 in the finish they always promised but never delivered, these are a serious bit of high energy audiophile quadruply amplified bookshelf loudspeaker. Seriously the walnut gloss finish is actually extremely elegant, and perhaps serves to allay the slightly rotund form. (also please note they are $3200 in polished walnut as against $2725 in black or white)

The form is actually dictated by physics, if you want to get the best quality sound out of the smallest box with excellent imageing and good bass, well, you end up with cabinet about this size and drive unit configuration. That is why there are so many loudspeakers that are approximately this size that are actually very good.

High performance record mat

The Blue Horizon record mat keeps firm hold of every record played, whilst suppressing the resonance generated during playback. It’s dual-layer design makes it easy to adapt to different record thicknesses without needing to alter tonearm height (VTA). The result is the perfect coupling between record and platter – an utterly silent foundation, ensuring every drop of musical detail within the groove is delivered with unfettered clarity.

The Blue Horizon Record Mat delivers clear audible improvements - the sound gains greater resolution and focus, with enhanced detail and improved bass definition; music sounds more real, more vital.

4 x 50mm titanium spike mounts for lightweight racks and components. Hand crafted in Japan

These are the same size as the standard steel SM5 isolation devices but they are built from titanium.  Can the change of materials make a difference?  Absolutely: the titanium Silent Mount SM5s are identical in size to the stainless steel SM5s but are considerable lighter. The reduced weight improves energy transfer and this is why the titanium version produces a better performance.  Timing, dynamics and coherence are all improved and the image is more solid with instruments and voices well defined and accurately placed within the soundstage.

The titanium SM5s are designed to be used with any high performance rack or table.

We use them underneath an Audiophile Star Base rack in our demonstration room and we have also used them with turntable supports, where the improvements to sound quality are particularly striking. Like many upgrades it very easy to quickly get used to the big improvements that the titanium SM5s make.  Taking them out of the system is genuinely surprising and leaves you in no doubt as to how much of a contribution they are making.

All Silent Mounts are supplied with a set of self adhesive thin felt pads. If the rack is sited on anything other than a carpeted floor, the felt pads should be fitted to the base of each Silent Mount. The felt pad has been specifically chosen to minimise any vibration between the Silent Mount and the floor and will ensure that you get the best performance. If the silent Mount is being used on a carpeted floor the Felt pads should not be fitted.

Each Silent Mount SMF5 titanium isolation mount will support up to 50 Kilos in weight.

Each pack contains 4 Silent Mounts.

Completing the Chord Company's Epic range is this high performance power cable. Using Chord's unique ARAY conductor technology for increased performance, this is a solid noise-reducing power cable to deliver the best from your system.

The largest and the premium offering from Bluesound of their stand alone speakers.

A fantastic alternative to Sonos, Bluesound have real HiFi cred and are not simply a software company. They care about sound and quality. That's what you can hear and feel in their products.

Marantz has been a stalwart of Carlton Audio Visual since we opened. Consistently rich and warm in sound and very adaptable. Marantz is a big enough company to change their designs quickly to give consumers what they're after. Integrating HiFi quality streaming into HiFi quality amplifiers is one of those adaptations.

The Model 40N is a rich, warm sounding amplifier with an easy-to-use high quality streaming module built-in.

On demo now at our Lygon st showroom

This is the new version of a very dear favourite. A richness to the sound that does away with the brittleness and edge normally associated with the sound of cds. This CD player is the most 'vinyl' sounding CD player I've ever heard.

The new unit has some updated aesthetics but keeps the same internals as the older Saturn R.

We are expecting stock of the Saturn Mk3 in July.

The Big Reds are a no compromise design by Dr Rod Crawford. With amplifiers built in that perfectly match not only the speaker but each individual driver. Normally, when we build up HiFi systems that use a separate amplifier to power each driver, you're looking at a price tag of 10s of thousands of dollars. In this case you can get all of those benefits and more.

These Big Reds also boast an active crossover design that is handled by a separate box, the DEQX. This smart little box also adjusts for any discrepancies of each individual driver as well as those inherent in your listening room.

In whatever situation these end up in, they are sure to astound!

A compact wireless streaming speaker. Perfect for a small space or atmospheric background music or as rears within a bigger Bluesound Home Theatre system.
