The Mezzo and the Nautilus can perform this sonic magic of sounding lifelike and with the exact intentions of the musician, whether it’s played in the concert hall, in the studio, or on electronic hardware and software. Both these cartridges made each record sound like the best sounding record I've ever heard. That is, until I played the next record.” - Tom Lyle, Enjoy The Music

If you have a system you care about and want to get the most out of it, adding Nordost Tyr 2 interconnects will elevate the resolution, depth and spatial awareness of the system.

These are exceptional cables that cannot be underestimated. 

This is Rega's new version of the acclaimed Apheta Moving Coil Cartridge and it builds on Rega's decades long obsession with perfecting the Moving Coil cart.

Like its predecessor, it utilises micro-mass generation systems with super strong yet jointless bodies to minimise resonance transferance. It also uses a super high powered rare earth metal neodymium for its magnets. These were all upgrades that set the Apheta 2 apart and elevated the sophisticstion, separation and musicality from the original Apheta.

Now Rega has taken another look at the Apheta and has introduced the same 'fine line' diamond technique that's been on the reference Aphelion on to the Apheta. This technique involves pushing the actual cut diamond through the counterlever at a perfect 90 degrees.

This is capable of getting even more detail out of the groove of you Vinyl and means an even better listening experience.

On Special for Black Friday ending on the 27th of November or when stocks run-out. Please contact us for up-to-date availability on colours.

All of the rumble and wallop of Hollywood’s most action-packed blockbusters is yours from the potent Gold W12 Subwoofer, in which a 12" (305 mm) long-throw driver is reinforced by a pair of Auxiliary Bass Radiators (ABR) and powered by 600 W of Class D amplification. The power and scale this combination are capable of generating can be felt just as easily as it can be heard, thanks to its prodigious 20 Hz bass extension.

Gold W12 has a number of fine-tuning options, and thanks to Monitor Audio’s Automatic Position Correction (APC) system, the subwoofer can work at its optimum no matter where it’s positioned. And this is no blunt instrument – Gold W12 is just as capable of delivering all the music and harmonic detail of a kettle drum to the earth-shattering power of a volcanic explosion.

Settings adjustment is provided by the innovative controller mounted on the cabinet top panel, or by using Monitor Audio’s proprietary ‘SubConnect’ software. The settings provide four fully configurable user pre-sets per input, including modes for; Flat/Music/Movie and Impact equaliser settings. Fine-tuning can be made by adjusting the frequency, slope, trim and equaliser filters for each pre-set. The Night Mode actively reduces the dynamic range of louder sections according to the level the listener desires.

The new Bild i from Loewe is an evolution of what has already been some hugely successful german made Television models. The new i offers upgraded software to better integrate modern smarts into the Television like Netflix, Youtube and Amazon Prime. It also boasts the new SL7 chassis for an even sleeker, streamlined aesthetic. All the i range of Loewe Televisions have the latest in OLED panel technology.

There is an invisible (tucked behind the screen) soundbar that has been improved upon from earlier models. But distinctively pleasing with the new i range is the ability to add on the Klang bar i Soundbar simply by clicking it into place underneath the TV for a neat and easy upgrade to the sound on the Television.

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.

This is the power series in the Rel range where you get a lot of spl for the dollar ...

The new MkII version adds a new 300W D class power amplifier and a new carbonglass 10" driver. Delivering twice the volume as the original version this is sure to shatter some bones.

The original was already good, now Rel have upped the ante

Here is a video of John Hunter describing the HT1003, he is the chief designer of this dedicated to bass company:

We are now making way for they new cyrus range and as such have available one NEW in BOX Cyrus 62 Dac ready to go. Great value, grab it while it's still here.

It might be the baby of the range, but the award winning UK made 6DAC is true Cyrus.  Clean, fast and totally engaging this is an amp for music fanatics.

Equipped with an adjustable mid/high frequency driver array, the In-Wall is able to deliver pin-point audio imaging and consistency from both vertical or horizontal positions.

By rotating the array though 90 degrees at the centre of a LCR configuration for instance, a soundstage of three Platinum In-Wall IIs will generate the seamless tonal integrity of the finest boxed systems from a stealthy in-wall location.

The new E1 Turntable sits above the Primary E in the Pro-Ject range giving some generous upgrades to the Primary E.

A new tonearm is made from Aluminium and is stiffer and more acoustically dampening.

The bearings are the same as in the Debut Carbon and the Deck can be upgraded with an Acrylic platter or even a standard Debut platter.

The belt is placed on the subplatter accidentally having the belt slip off the rotating platter is not an issue.

Also this unit comes with electronic speed control. Convenience and simplicity for changing from 33 to 45rpm records.

This is a plug-and-play unit, designed to be played straight out of the box. A simple, clever design that is more than your basic turntable but without the excessive pricetag.

Are these the most beautiful loudspeakers in the world? Quite possibly. 

The Maxima Amator is a stupefying synergy of solid wood and marble impossibly crafted into an exquisite sculpture.

Both wildly beautiful and understated with its simple, clean lines, this handmade Italian two-way tower is a feast for all of the senses.

This was a project long considered by Sonus faber, a floorstanding two-way made from a solid wood enclosure only made possible through modern CNC technology–all affixed to a one-of-a-kind Italian marble bass.

Possessing a small footprint but a huge sound, the Amator Maxima transmits the warmth and hope of your favorite music.

A very special Christmas Special. Only Silver available now.

The RA1572 has become a mainstay on the demo floor at Carlton Audio Visual and the new RA1572 MkiII is stepping easily into its void.

A solid and popular performer that pulls the punches when it's asked. With 120W into 4 Ohms and 200W into 8 Ohms of pure Class AB amplification, you'll get slam and control with this amp.

Its connectivity and versatility is also its major strength. Aptx Bluetooth, phono stage (for direct compatibility with a Turntable), Unbalanced and Balanced XLR analogue inputs, multiple optical & coaxial digital connections and PC-USB with MQA and MQA studio (driver installation required) are some of your options.

From the old RA1572, the major difference in the new unit is it's new DAC. Instead of the older AKM DAC chips they've moved to the Texas Instruments Burr-Brown DAC chips. Giving them the MQA capability but also some extra richness and expression in the music on the digital side of things.

It keeps its classic ever-so-popular aesthetic with the retro lines and the same sound signature that Rotel are renowned for which we think is a good thing. A little tweak on an old favourite to make it that much better.

This speaker has been recieving some amazing reviews. Have a read of What HiFi's review:

https://www.whathifi.com/au/reviews/acoustic-energy-ae309

And it's not only international reviewers who have been impressed with them. Carlton Audio Visual staff and customers have found them to be a box ticking option in their c. $3K price point. 

They have a mellow, pleasant sound with a full rich bass that's not 'fluffy' or 'goofy'. They're the kind of speaker that you still want to listen to well into the 5th hour and easily fill a room with sound.

They are also slim and attractive and not a bulky eye sore in a room.

A very useful little streaming amplifier. Perfect for general use in the home with all your streaming audio needs built on board and in a lovely little form factor.

For many Rega Tonearms and Turntables, when we put a non Rega cartridge on them we need to lift up the Tonearm vertically ever so slightly to create just the perfect Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) for your new cartridge.

On some other tonearm and turntables designs you can do this VTA adjustment with a little knob on the side of the tonearm, with Regas we need to physically prop the tonearm up just a bit so the angle is just right for your new cartridge. 

Rega make their own spacer to do this prop up but it's a fiddly affair requiring us to take off the tonearm, insert the spacer and reinsert the whole tonearm. The HiFi Guru is much simpler. We can slide the two halves under the tonearm and Voila!

This is the much anticipated Cyrus Stream XR - the high end streamer from the boutique British manufacturer.

Cyrus has always produced musical streamers without a brittle harshness to the sound that often creeps in to this purely digital medium. They have a lyricalness akin to vinyl that is effortlessly listenable.

The new Cyrus streamers, the Stream XR included, now use the BluOs software also used in the Bluesound gear. But they haven't deviated from the path of the essential Cyrus sound. Both of the new Cyrus streamers exude that classic Cyrus musicality...but now with a seamless, easy-to-use software interface! 

You can now pair a Cyrus Streamer with a Bluesound all-in-one speaker for an easy to set up multi-room audio system. Win all round.

The Stream XR has the highly lauded QXR DAC onboard. A DAC that eeks out the finest details of music against an inky blackness devoid of background noise.

Expect a wider soundstage and musical emotionality.

This unit can also be paired with the Cyrus PSU-XR power supply which will make this great unit, an epic.

We love this upgradability. Being able to invest in a piece of high quality HiFi that will stay with you on the upgrade journey.

These units have already been extremely popular and we have pre sold a handful before they even arrived in Australia and we expect them to be one of our most popular high-end digital front ends.

We are Vinyl lovers at Carlton Audio Visual. The people who work here love Vinyl and without exception have a record player at home...most have multiple! Our customers have also held the torch for vinyl through the long dark years of the nineties and early 2000s when most had forgotten about the joys of a Turntable, we had a dedicated and passionate team of clients and staff who loved their LPs. Since then Turntables have become trendy and people have rediscovered why they were loved for so long.

And when customers are at a point in their journey where the lifelong admiration and obsession with vinyl and HiFi has taken hold, we recommend the Stellar Phono Stage. It will last a lifetime of cartridge upgrades and swaps. It will extract the most out of a $8499 cartridge (Van den Hul Crimson Stradivarius MC is a sensational pairing with this unit) as it will with a $500 Moving Magnet cartridge.

You'll hear control, detail and presence; There's a spatial awareness in the sound and transparency that reveals itself when you plug this into any system. And it performs well above its pay grade. We really believe to better this you'll have to pay $17K for some Audio Research gear and hell...even then, I'd say some people will still prefer this phono stage for it's clarity in the mid range.

The only thing that we find annoying about it...it requires a remote control to operate. You'll need that in the very first instance to turn its mute off in order to get any sound. And then of course all its plethora of settings that give it such versatility for all cartridges are adjusted on the remote. So don't...like us...loose the remote! *

Also, you need to be patient with this machine and run it in. It really is night and day the difference that makes. We even have some Blue Horizon RIAA filters to use as burn in tools on new units so you don't have to put hours on your cartridge burning in the phono stage. We can do that in store for free, for you.
