Vinyl
Revival? Resurgence? Revolution? Whatever you want to call it, vinyl is still highly prized by audiophiles. Modern pressing techniques encode so much detail onto each LP that digital struggles to keep up. Oh yeah, and people say it sounds warm. Whatever that means. Any which way, we’ve got one of the largest ranges of turntables in the country and all the accessories you need to get the most from your wax slab.

Pro-Ject Acryl-It, for Debut and Xpression Turntables
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.

Garrott Brothers K1 Garrott Supertrack 1
Garrott Brothers business was founded by the Garrott twins. They were two Australian brothers who dedicated their lives to making music better for everyone. Starting off in the hey day of vinyl in the 70s they incorporated some fantastic technical advances into affordable cartridges. Standard cartridges that came on Turntables back then left alot to be desired and the Garrott Brothers business grew very quickly.
Unfortunately the 1990s saw the demise of vinyl and the rise of the CD. At the same time one of the brothers was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. I won't go into the tradgedy and circumstances of their deaths. If only they had lived long enough though to see the comeback of Vinyl and its popularity blosom again.
We're lucky that their molds and castings live on and new cartridges can be made so their expertise lives on in this age of vinyl renaissance.
The K1 is the conical model of cartridge in their K series. But it's not to be equated with just an old conical cartridge. The K1 is a step up from the average conical cart and this will translate into more detail and musicality in the sound.

Acoustic Signature Load
A high quality, perfectly machined record weight made by German manufacturer, Acoustic Signature.
This will squish down the waviest of records improving their sound quality.

The extra weight and dampening qualities of the Load S do, however, go further to support cartridge tracking and the overall performance improvement of your turntable.
Acoustic Signature weights and clamps are designed to be used with a range of different turntables not only Acoustic Signature models.

Garrott Brothers K2 Garrott Supertrack 2
The Garrott brothers were a pair of Australian twins who saw the inadequacies of cartridges in the 1960s whilst they were living and working overseas. When they came back to Australia they quickly grew a hugely respected company making superior cartridges and retipping existing ones to perform much better.
The brothers passed away in the nineties at a time when vinyl was out of favour. If only they had lived to see today and the exceptional comeback that vinyl has had.
The moulds and designs were saved by loyal Garrott brothers employees and hence new units are today still in manufacture.

IsoAcoustics zaZen I Isolation Platform
As a kid growing up in a HiFi store and taking dance classes, when customers had left the store (sometimes when they were still there), I would dance around the shop stupidly. Practicing my moves, trying my pirouettes. I'm glad we didn't have smart phones back then as I'm sure there would be lots of video evidence if we did!
And the amount of times there was that skipping record sound stopped me in my tracks with the feeling of 'uh oh, now I've broken something...'
Even if you don't have quite the same urges to bust out contemporary ballet moves to Peter Gabriel, Turntable Isolation is very important! And the difference that a zaZen makes on a Rega turntable is palpable.
Increased bass, increased detail...all the good things. If you'd like a $399 upgrade for your turntable, take one of these.

Garrott Brothers K3 Supertrack 3
The Garrott brothers are an Australian cartridge manufacturer founded in the 70s by the twin brothers Brian and John Garrott. Although the brothers passed away in the '90s right in the middle of what seemed like the end of cartridge and vinyl manufacture, the vinyl industry and Garrott Brothers have been reborn.
A Melbourne company has taken up making the cartridges from the Garrott's designs and moulds and using the same materials to keep what was a world renowned cartridge manufacturer alive.
Garrott Brothers cartridges have managed to outlive their founders and flourish in this, the time of the rebirth of Vinyl.
The K3 is equiped with a Shibata Diamond. For the Garrott Brothers the emphasis was always on the quality and precision of the diamond and this is no exception. The Garrott Brothers were able to produce brilliant cartridges by paying attention to the details managing to keep costs down whilst clearly outstripping their competitors.
The cartridges are still loved and have an incredibly loyal following in HiFi circles.

Acoustic Signature Grip Mk3

Rega Fono MM Mk5
This is the new version of the what has been one of our best selling phono stages. At sub $500 there is not another phono stage that sounds better. It is simply in a class of its own. We regularly put this phono stage up against units more than double its price and customers come away scratching their heads asking why the rest even bother!
It's just that much better. It's quieter, letting you hear more detail, it's still musical and rich sounding not adding artificial harshness that many of 'the others' do.
A go-to and a personal favourite.

Pro-Ject Wall Mount It 5, Wallmounting Turntable rack
Sometimes the best way to improve your vinyl system is the simplest - Wall mount It!
Your Deck and your cartridge are built to be sensitive to vibrations. Afterall that's what we want something that will pick up all the nuances in our Vinyl. But that means it'll be sensitive to external vibrations as well. Ie. Walking around your house!
You'll actually hear that as distortion and noise in your music. If you attach your Turntable to the wall...voila!, not a problem.
The Wallmount It 5 has an in-built dampening system and doesn't require a solid brick wall to be mounted on. It'll do just fine on a plywood wall.
Also it means those 'little' fingers that we all dearly love but wish they wouldn't try to put their favourite record on themselves...stay away from the nice expensive cartridge.
