  • Acoustic Energy Corinium loudspeakers ... as though hewn of ancient stone

    The brand new Acoustic Energy Coriniums are now on demonstration at Carlton Audio Visual

    Acoustic Energy was founded in 1987 and its ethos has always been about bringing high-end sound to an affordable level. The Corinium, however, is taking this further. This time Acoustic Energy has developed its own high-end loudspeaker.

    Acoustic Energy has always been clear on what its sound is. For each new speaker design, Acoustic Energy have their team listening and referencing their old speakers to match the sound and then go in with acute measuring devices to verify what they're hearing.

    The goal was to continue the hallmark Acoustic Energy sound yet add another two levels of performance on their current reference speakers. 

    This meant an excruciating years long process to find the perfect driver materials that would exactly match their criteria. 

    The bass drivers are Carbon like the 500 series but don't let this fool you, they have been redesigned behind those cones so that they are faster and less coloured than their little brothers.

    The tweeter has been completely redesigned. Now using a Tetoron driver which holds its shape under extreme excursion but also has the signature Acoustic Energy warmth and engagement.

    The last interesting piece of this design I'll mention, although there are many that you can read about here, is the front baffle design. It is made of two materials: mdf housing the bass and mid drivers and an aluminium front baffle which holds the tweeter isolating the tweeter from any unwanted infractions from the mid and bass.

    All in all, the Coriniums are a beautiful and thoughtfully made set of speakers. Still not extravagantly expensive...although this is all relative of course.

  • Yamaha GT-5000 Turntable...... A Japanese Homage to the monsters of the 70's & 80's

    The Yamaha GT5000 ... a turntable uniquely made by its own rules ... I think the tonearm design is excellent. I have sat through days literally of playing the GT5000 to the most critical possible audience at Hi Fi shows and not one indivisual has noted any tracking or balance errors, because there are none. Supremely low noise and precise is the emphasis here and the unique balanced out is a perfect match for a high quality phono stage or, even better, a C5000 preamplifier ...

    By the way although this shares a designation of a certain American sports car ... that is far too crude an analogy for the precision and quality of this Record Player. More like a Nissan GT-R Nismo edition ...

    Please note the outstanding reviews this turntable has been getting in the description below ...

  • Rotel A10 integrated Amplifier ... the Walther PPK of Hi Fi ...

  • Chord Electronics Ultima 5 Power Amplifier

    350W of serious power amplification. This unit is not only a work of industrial art, it's everything and more than what you'd expect in terms of grip, control and musicality.

    I've been pleasantly surprised with the new versions of Chord Electronics Pre and Power combinations. I found many of their previous models of stereo power amps harsh and brittle but this is different - this sings. 

    This is a must listen if you're looking for a beefy power amplifier.

    It has had some stellar reviews, unsurprisingly and it's no wonder that there were lots of Chord Power amplifiers powering speakers at the latest Munich HiFi show earlier this year.

  • Audio Research Reference CD9SE

    Audio Research introduced its first Reference series CD player in 2005 with the Reference CD7, then evolving into the Reference CD8. Both players received critical acclaim for their accuracy and naturalness. People still want to play their CDs, but they also want to add other digital sources such as computer audio and streaming to their music systems, so we created the Reference CD9SE CD Player/DAC. It combines the best of both, a super high-resolution compact disc player with a super high-resolution digital-to-analog converter that is stunning in its musicality.

    This latest bookshelf sized Gold series speaker from Monitor Audio is the only one in the range (no 50 this time).

  • Yamaha CD S2100

    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.

  • Rotel CD11 Tribute, Silver. This is not a Rotel CD Player ... this is a tribute ...

    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

  • Pro-Ject VC-S3, Record Cleaner

    Cleaning records is not just for people with serious cases of OCD, it's done to improve the way your records sound, give longevity to your precious cartridge and stylus and try to eliminate those pops and crackles.

    Proper record cleaning is an important part of a Vinyl lovers routine and if your only option is a bath type of cleaner, it quickly becomes a tedious job of waiting for the Vinyl to dry before putting them on. Let alone having to find floor space and enough teatowels to sit them on,

    The vacuum method, like this one, is much more time efficient and effective at getting the grime out of the grooves.

    Its advantage over the smaller and cheaper VC-E is that it has a much larger cleaning fluid tank, 2.5L as opposed to 0.5L and a much better motor. It's also notably quieter to run and has less plastic bits than the VC-E.
