Available for audition in-store, with the Chord DAVE. The Blu MkII is a compact, FPGA-based upsampling CD transport which offers the world’s most advanced filter technology. Used with DAVE, the combination delivers class-leading CD sound quality and technical performance. At the heart of the Blu MkII lies an enormously powerful Xilinx FPGA. Rob Watts’ (Chord’s Digital Design Consultant) has used this to create his exclusive WTA M-Scaler technology, which incorporates the most advanced filter of its kind in the world. The Xilinx FPGA has also enabled a key breakthrough in tap-length (the technical indicator of how complex the interpolation filter is) taking Blu MkII to an unprecedented 1,015,808 taps. Learn More

Christmas Special until the 1st of January. Please contact us for up-to-date availability on colours. 

Not too big and not too small, the Silver 300s have traditionally been the perfect medium. Still a slim, elegant speaker that's capable of filling all but the biggest most voluminous of rooms.

The introduction of the dedicated mid-driver dramatically improves the consistency of the speaker accross the frequencies. Over the Silver 200s, you'll hear more definition and more bass.

The 7th generation has seen a couple of improvements over the 6G units without diverging dramatically from what's always been a favourite of Carlton Audio Visual's clients. Extra stiffnes in the mid/bass drivers and upgrades to the tweeter's Waveguide mean more precision and clarity in the sound. Updates to the aesthetic finish of the speakers and the availability of each colour in the Australian market are the other changes.

The Magnum is the next level up from the popular D-352. Due to its even thicker gauge the Magnum has even more bass than the D352. Due to its gauge it produces a larger scale wider imaging & an even lower noise flaw. As expected from the Van Den Hul range the Magnum Hybrid produces no fatigue and is slightly warm biased but with incredible transparency.

REL now is making a cute wooden subwoofer. A vintage sounding unit, it doesn't have quite the tightness, depth of bass and immediacy of something like the REL S510. 

Also unlike the T series of subwoofers in the REL range, it doesn't have the grippy, fullsome class A/B amplifier.

But what a lovely subwoofer for a set of bookshelf speakers! It's a soft sound that is different to other REL subs but altogether is more emotional where other RELs might feel a little colder.

It sounds so much better than the awful wooly subs that populate the sub $1000k space, that's for sure.

And what a pretty little thing as well. It has a furniture grade, mid century finish that is very smart yet equally homely.

We think this will be a popular unit!

The IsoTek Evo3 Nova is a passive power conditioner designed to remove common mode and differential mode mains noise to lower the overall noise floor of your system and bring out more detail and emotion in the music.

The advantage of a passive conditioning is that it stays well out of the way of the sound signature of your gear. Doing all the good stuff in terms of noise floor and protection but not adding a presence that you may or may not like into your system. Different people will always feel differently about this but that is the theory at least.

We now have one of these big conditioners on the floor in the shop so we can even lend them out, if you're nice, and you can do your own comparison!

This is a Turntable that sits pride of place in the reference system here at Carlton Audio Visual. To put this first into context, our reference system consists of the Sonus Faber Flagship Aida 2 Speakers, Audio Research 160M Monoblocks & Ref 6 Pre-amp with a matching CD9SE CD player and PH9 phono stage.

Even though we have an extensive range of turntables, we still didn't have the right one for this system. 

It wasn't until Rab went to Munich High-End Hi-Fi show and sat down and listened to the Acoustic Signature's range, that he found THE ONE. He said the Invictus (@ c. $275,000 AUD) was the best turntable he had ever heard BUT this, the Ascona, holds many of the technical details of the Invictus and would also sit perfectly on our ready to go Basso Continuo rack (Invictus was a liiiittle large). 

Most importantly, the Ascona brings to life an analogue recording like nothing we've ever had in store. The 3D image of the music is papable. When we play Adele's 21, I feel like I can take a step and touch the microphone that she's singing into. 

We made sure to have the TA-9000 Tonearm mounted to this beauty.The TA-9000 is in itself an engineering marvel and I'm not the only person to believe that it is simply the very best tonearm money can buy. They make each of these with a Selective Laser Melting Process Machine millimeter by millimeter so that the inner tube is connected to the outer tubing with a precise tree-branch structure that COMPLETELY does away with resonance effects.

We've finished off the set up with a Van den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge.

Just traded-in, we have a Synthesis Roma 96dc that is less than 6 months old. This unit is unmarked and in perfect condition however it does not come with its box and packaging. We can arrange delivery to certain locations within Victoria both Metro and Rural. Please call us to discuss this. 

This is a very 'sweet' sounding amplifier. Often these pure Class A tube amplifiers with low Wattage are sweeter than their beefier brethren. And this is certainly the case with this unit.

Synthesis amplifiers are all made in Italy and they are one of the ultimate in Tube amplification. There are quite a lot of tube manufacturers on the market that produce units with a brittle, bright sound in this sub $10K category. Not Synthesis. The music is pure, without edges. The resolution is clear and transparent. As Synthesis says this amp has a 'detailed sound...above and beyond that which one would expect from an amplifier of twice its price'.

On display now and ready for demonstration and inspection.

The MICRO Copper Oval-IN packs a lot in a small cross-sectional area. Three 18 gauge conductors and FEP dielectric in a micro design give great performance in a compact design. These interconnects were designed using our patented hollow oval geometry to control current density in a form suitable for braiding from pure oxygen free copper. The signal lines are then wrapped with a shield to provide protection from EMI/RFI. THe result is a super quiet, extremely neutral cable, priced well within any budget.

RCA connectors are standard, with a balanced version featuring Neutrik XLR connectors available as an option.

Please call us for exact terminations and lengths that are available and in stock.

The last EX-DEMO unit left. Great deal on this fantastic unit.

Our display unit of the A90J 65" has been sitting prime position facing Lygon st. And even though it gets glare and sunlight on it, and even though it's an OLED, picture quality is luminous! I definitely couldn't say that about every OLED TV.

We sell alot of OLEDs but this one is just that much brighter. The colour really pops even positioned next to the window at the front of the shop. There's barely any annoying reflectivity on the panel's protective layer which goes to show the quality of materials used in its construction.

Replete with all of Sony's newest Cognitive Processor XR technology that's working behind the scenes to make sure your blacks are true black and that it's Sony's brightest ever OLED.

Motion with the unit is also superb and you can really tell it's a quality TV when you put it up against the cheaper units in the Sony range.

Sony's built in smart features seem endless and most importantly are very intuitive to use!

Because Sony is changing over their panels, this A90J is actually even better than the newer models. It is brighter than the newer equivalents both the A90K and the A90L. There are very few of these units left and we have two at the moment. But we don't think they will last long when people realise what a particularly good screen this is and given the good price we have going.
