So this is the modern iteration of the Gramaphone, and to make it the real thing we are including a matching Project Record Player that completes its destiny.

Sometimes when people come into the store and ask for a stereo I want to go full Rowan Atkinson on them as in the eighties "Not the 9 o' clock News" ...

This is a useful device that gives any amp or device with a USB input Bluetooth capability. For many of our clients this is a simple little upgrade to an amp to get some wireless functionality.

Bluetooth is never as good as getting a streamer and using a Wi-Fi or internet connection for your Wireless music needs. If you're a bit more particular with sound quality or getting high resolution files, check out our range of streamers.

Having said that, this is a useful device for filling a purpose.

This is the first model in the audiophile orientated Aventage series. Expect a crisp up front sonic presentation with good durability.

Playing the unit in our dem room reveals an impactive tonality with plenty of upper mid presence that potentially adds sparkle and engagement to a sound track. It's a matter for speaker matching and personal taste as to weather this appropriate for your your system.

Uniquely for a very complex Theatre Receiver product Yamaha are offering a five year warranty through registration for their Avantage series units.

They have gone for an unusual piano gloss finish that is a touch Yamaha Grand.

One loves the central volume knob as being quintessentially functional.

Looking like a wet dream Q Acoustic 3030 in the finish they always promised but never delivered, these are a serious bit of high energy audiophile quadruply amplified bookshelf loudspeaker. Seriously the walnut gloss finish is actually extremely elegant, and perhaps serves to allay the slightly rotund form. (also please note they are $3200 in polished walnut as against $2725 in black or white)

The form is actually dictated by physics, if you want to get the best quality sound out of the smallest box with excellent imageing and good bass, well, you end up with cabinet about this size and drive unit configuration. That is why there are so many loudspeakers that are approximately this size that are actually very good.

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.

There is one way to get extreme bass from a small box without going into weird science ... and SVS are following a tried and trusted horizontally opposed drive unit path here to get that deep bass from a tiny enclosure. Other pundits of this design path have been Devialet with their Phantom speaker series and Sunfire with their excellent subwoofers. The SVS however is offering this at a very reasonable price point that has not been hitherto available. You get a very compact and powerful unit that is  excellent at discreetly adding deep bass to a surround system.

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 new RA1592 MkII quite clearly shows its lineage in its aesthetic and its build. But there are a couple of things that have elevated the design to new levels.

They now use the Burr-Brown or otherwise now known as Texas Instruments DAC chips as well as changing the internals up a bit as well with elements filtering down from Rotels new flagship Michi range. But for those who have always loved the curved retro lines of the 15 series, nothing has changed. 

It also keeps its versatility in connectivity. Basically it has a connection for anything you can think of...APTX Bluetooth, 3 optical ins, 3 coaxial ins, PC-USB, USB on the front panel specifically for iOS, MM phono stage, headphone amplifier and Balanced and Unbalanced Analogue inputs.

Its a convenient all-in-one box serious integrated amp.

AND importantly it's a juicy amp with ever so much control and precision. And it's just gotten better and better. Commanding on the speakers yet a sweetness and expression to the sound that marks it above the lesser amps in Rotels range. 

In store now for demonstration.

I've personally had Koss Porta Pro Headphones for a number of years now and I added a pair of the Koss Porta Pro wireless version to the stable after going through a couple of pairs of Earbuds that were incompatible with me...I'm still not sure whether that's because I get unusually sweaty ears or tiny ears or a combination of both but they would never stay in my ears.

These are super comfortable though and sound massively better than the Earbuds. The Bluetooth receiver does jiggle a little but that's an easy trade-off for me for not having to worry about an Earbud falling out of my ear onto the pavement.
