Van Den Hul's Crimson Stradivarius is a favourite in the CAV Reference System. It has also become a Superstar with our customers.

The Stradivarius variation of the Crimson cartridge uses a Pau Ferro wooden body but douses that in multiple layers of specialist laquer emulating the laquer used on Stradivarius string instruments. The sound is even more involving, natural and open than the straight Crimson XGW which only difference is the absence of this special laquer.

It is the easiest cartridge to pair with a range of gear. The Colibri range has astounding levels of channel separation but requires more precise matching with the rest of the gear.

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

This amplifier has been around for decades in one form or another, and like James Bond's favourite pocket accesory it is deeply functional, effective, well finished, long lasting, and hits the target for musicality vs price.

A beautiful CD player that looks the timeless classic that it sounds. Crispiness and a neutral truthfulness to the sound are its sonic characteristics.

It's also an SACD player with XLR balanced out which for this price bracket is a real bonus. Generally, one has to spend upwards of $5000 for a half decent SACD player.

Sonically this is a very polite and neutral device, slow but smooth in mechanical operation and beautifully made.

The A12 is a favoured work horse for systems where power control and flexibility is needed. At the heart of this amplifier is an over engineered toroidal transformer - a big chunky power supply designed to limit interference with other components within the chassis.

Rotel is so renowned for making hefty power supplies, they sell them to other HiFi manufacturers.

Included on this amp are digital connections like optical, coax and PC-USB, aptXTM Bluetooth and a Phono stage for turntable connection, making this a verastile unit for many Living Rooms. Use the optical connection to connect to a Television to dramatically improve TV sound quality or take this straight home with a pair of speakers and you're good to go with a quality Bluetooth connection.

The MkII version has updated its Digital Circuitry to a Texas Instruments DAC chip. This has been more out of necessity because of the low stock of DAC chips world wide but the Texas Instruments has been a welcomed addition and is even an upgrade from the older Wolfson DAC.

Now available in the darker, matt Tungsten finish as well as the classic Aluminium.

This Elite model from Meze is an improvement on their already spectacular Empyrean Headphones. A new driver design creates a bigger soundstage and more detail.

The Meze Empyreans have been extraordinarily popular and from all accounts these lack nothing that the Empyreans have in terms of sound and general performance. Just improving on what was already a sensational base. 

Meze has collaborated with Ukraine’s Rinaro Isodynamics who designed the MZ3 isodynamic driver found in the Empyrean. After three years of research and development, Rinaro makes the updated MZ3SE drivers used in the Elite. This brings their new “Parus” low mass acoustic diaphragm built using a proprietary “ultra-thin biaxially oriented semi-crystalline polymer film”, and arranged in a rather unique and complex way for maximum sonic results.

This is our budget sacd player. SACDs are a special type of CD that stores more information on them than ordinary CDs. They store the music in DSD format so instead of taking little slices of the music very quickly and piecing it back together into an analogue sound wave at the other end, it stores the whole nice analogue sine wave.

This makes them more musical, less digital sounding.

It's a great option to have on a CD player to be able to read the full SACD layer but it normally comes with a hefty (above $5K price tag).

THE ORIGINAL STAGE TO BRING YOUR HI FI TO LIFE In the same way as every musical performance needs a stage so a HiFi needs a stage to bring the music to life in your home. Twenty years ago we set out to develop a modular rack – the Q4- that could support a variety of Hi Fi systems and deliver acoustic performance with style. This was achieved by combining solid aluminium columns with specially engineered shelves to create a light and rigid construction to deliver a clearer, cleaner musical performance.

The Spendor Classic 1/2 Standmount speakers have the ultimate classic look and a classic sound as well that harkens back to that luscious era of 60s swinging London. 

But with a warmth and a ripened depth to the sound these aren't spekers that'll just look the part, they sound it as well. A full 3 way bookshelf loudspeaker with a serious pedigree.
