When Audio Research was founded in 1970, analog vinyl playback was the de facto music source of the time. Audio Research has either incorporated or built stand-alone phono stages since the very beginning and has continuously provided phono preamplification, even during the height of digital music.

The Reference Phono 3SE is the next great advancement in analog playback and represents a new benchmark. The knowledge gained in the creation of Audio Research’s award-winning Reference 160-series amplifiers has transitioned to both Reference preamplifiers. The Reference Phono 3SE continues the upgrades introduced in the Reference 6SE line-stage, including a number of new, ultra-high-quality parts judiciously incorporated into its design and ushering in a new level of sonic accuracy and musicality.

Due to the extremely low-level nature of the signals involved in a phono stage, the component and wiring upgrades incorporated in the Reference Phono 3SE combine to create a startling advancement in performance. The improvements heard immediately include enhanced resolution at all levels, greater purity and focus, improved transient speed and snap, and better dynamic shading. The sum of these improvements is exceptional, further breaking down the barrier between reproduced sound and the immediacy of a live event.

A convenient device that will make any system into a Aptx Bluetooth compatible system.

Aptx is the better quality Bluetooth. 

These little devices still won't sound as good as a high def streamer (that uses your WiFi connection) but are an affordable and easy to use.

Anthem AVM-70 is capable of 15.2 channels of processing. That's a hefty amount of processing perfect for serious high-end residential theatres. It comes with everything you'd expect of a modern surround processor: 4K/60Hz pass-through (8K pass-through will be an upgradeable option), HDR10, Dolby vision, apple Airplay, Bluetooth & Google Chromecast.

It's a great option for a full 15.2 channels worth of processing that sits at a slightly better price than the Marantz AV8805.

CD Players are considered an endangered species in the market so it might appear that Rotel are slightly brave to be releasing a new high end model at the moment. However in our part of the market CD layers are alive and thriving as they are purchased by people who have advanced and numerous CD collections that cannot be qualitatively matched by streaming sources. The Rotel 1572 CD Player is a good example of this ... although a plain jane disc spinner product it has intrinsic good sound and build quality that just keeps selling steadily. The DT6000 improves on that engineering for sound and longevity even further and in fact sets a new standard for a Rotel product in this category. The DT6000 is also a state of art Digital to Analogue converter that allows you to use a full range of digital sources as inputs without the redundancy of another external DAC component.

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.

Modeled on the High End Invictus Turntable, the Tornado Neo offers the best of Acoustic Signature design at a modest price point.

Complete with 4 silencers on the platter that dampen vibrations, capacity to have up to 3 different tonearms and diamond coated spindle on the bearing, this is a serious turntable from a company that's serious about turntables.

You won't find any mention of colouration, bloom or muddiness in descriptions of this turntable. If you're after the fluffy uncontrolled vinyl sounds of the 70s, there are many other options out there. If you want to hear what modern turntable design of the 21st century can do when every detail of the Turntable is examined for its inertia and low resonance properties, you must look at an Acoustic Signature. The result of though-out engineering coupled with an exposed yet beautiful industrial design is a turntable that is sounds devastatingly clear and musical and shows off its engineering prowess with a raw beauty.

Bluesound describe this as another compact speaker. It is however bigger than the Pulse Flex2i and therefore offers more grunt and volume for listeners. Deeper bass notes and more sound in general terms.

We have a pair of RA-6000 and DT-6000 Ex-demo to sell Ex-Demo. 

Power corrupts they say, but with an amplifier there is no substitute for current and wattage when it comes to exercising authority over a recalcitrant loudspeaker load. 

With this new Rotel Diamond series subjugation of the fine motions of the transducer to force absolute compliance to the needs of the music signal is the key to its power.

Unlike the brutal human autocrats of our contemporary experience however, the Rotel offers a deeply benign and truthful empowerment of the listening experience. 

Like all Rotel amplifiers this is destined to stay in your family for a generation or more. The internal componentry is made in house and is of quite exceptional quality with longevity as a prime directive.

Once upon a time I came to Australia and found myself suddenly mortgaged, married and in an imminent condition of fatherhood. my previous ambitions of travel and science were promptly subjugated in order to make a sensible living.

And that's where Yamaha became my bread and butter as commissioned hi Fi salesperson in early eighties Melbourne.Those Yamaha stereo systems were so solid and sweet in comparison to the competing Pioneer and Sansui rack assembelages that they were an ethical sell to the blank canvas of the Middle Australian client base of that business I was working in.'Alas the speakers that were sold as matching the height and style of the cabinet were so very awful as to largely obviate any performance advantage in the source electronics.

This Yamaha AS501 is a sensory throwback to old Yamaha eighties style . It is clean and crisp and delightfully constructed and is just obviously sensible. Good inputs, good controls, good sound, good construction, good value.

I hereby appoint the AS501 to be the evolutionary successor to the 1984 Yamaha A500 integrated ampilfier.

We already love the Naim Uniti Atom as a 2 chanel stereo amplifier come streamer so it's no surprise that a headphone version of that is going to be very popular and attract some rave reviews. An attactive all-in-one box capable of impressing serious Head-Fi enthusiasts. 

This unit will happily do the heavy lifting on some of the harder to drive highend Headphones to make them come alive like never before. And there's no need to start a whole new HiFi rack to accomodate a headphone amp, source and cables. One box to sit on a desk, perhaps, and you're good to go.

Please Note This is a single Lead loudspeaker cable. You will need 4 runs total for a pair of speakers. 

During the great success of The REVELATION HYBRID, there was the question if it was possible to produce a lower priced version.
This was the moment The REVOLUTION HYBRID was born: a single-lead loudspeaker cable with the same sonic properties but smaller in size.

Please call us to make sure we have the length and termination you require in stock.

Aureder A15 is a do-it-all box that is transparent and revealing in its sound. If you value accuracy and what a streamer with all the bells and whistles then this is the unit for you.

It has a DAC on board and can function as a preamplifier as well. But if you have an integrated amplifier or a dedicated preamplifier you can dismantle the preamplifier function by selecting direct out.

This unit has 2 bays available for inserting your own hard drives into it. Aurender leaves the choice of hard drive up to you which I like actually! For some people 4TB seems like a huge amount, for others, the'll want it pimped out to 16TB. 

Like any other Aurender, the A15 uses internal caching. This means when any track is selected it will be downloaded onto the internal SSD before it's played. Once it's in that temporary storage on the unit, you don't have to worry about buffering that track will play seamlessly. This system also makes things sound better creating more isolation.

What we also love about Aurender units and the A15 is no exception, is the internal tech support. If something's not working quite right or if you just have a question simply go to the link in the app and someone will sort it out for you,
