The "Aston martin table top radio" has all grown up now that the Ruark R410 is here. This is a lovely piece of kit that smoothly plays all the needed music formats in broadcast and streaming in delightful retro-is-modern form.

Seriously it is surprising how lustrous the finish on this .... radiogram ... is. The real wood veneer feels like expensive designer furniture rather than a mere piece of consumer electronics. And the sound performance makes it a real contender in the market that has hitherto been ruled by the Devialet Phantom and the Naim Muso, you can turn this device up all the way on its tactile knurled metal volume control and it just rocks on.

The streaming reception and connectivity options are exceptional ... the damn thing has optical and HDMI inputs as well as a phono stage ... it seems to be able to play just about everything the old world of analogue and the new world of digital require.

Another exciting new offering from Denon as the replacement of the AVC-X4700.  Actually it dosn''t really look that exciting, in fact it looks exactly the same as the other Denon'amplifiers from the last thirty three years that we have been selling them. The good thing ... the really good thing about this do everything amp, is that it carries that cusp of technologies that will carry a potential owner for another ten or fifteen years of ownership . Without having to replace an amp every fifteen years because it has outdated HDMI switching, or a urine weak power supply that breaks down at every voltage surge. This is an amp that will go the distance.

This unit is crafted in the Japanese factory of Denon, their premium factory in Shirakawa. The AVC-X4700H did not have this luxury and the move over to Japan prompted a complete redesign of the unit's internal structure. They now use a Monolithic Amp Layout as opposed to a vertical layout. Solid heat sinks and a more discreet amplifier module design for much superior clarity and definition are instantly recognisable in this new design. See the attached images of the internal amp module output stages of the 4700 opposed to that of the 4800.

This unit will also come with the option to have 4 subwoofers each independently controllable, as with the AVC-X3800H. And the optional addition of Dirac live as well.

A Solid state beast of a machine that can play loud and hard.

"An astonishingly good amplifier... Blending together the brand's modern take on traditional analogue approaches with a healthy dose of digital inputs plus a top flight phono stage, headphone amp and battleship build quality." ... "A very elegant sounding amplifier with a lot of power in reserve... a hefty amplifier that is capable of great things and a lot more than just brute force, the MA7200 doesn’t just look the part, it sounds the part!" ...

Come and try it out.

The day this amplifier came into the shop was the day of our annual Christmas party. We plugged in this unit and played it hard. In fact it was still being blasted at 2am in the morning with a soundtrack of Madonna and Daft Punk.

In an era where so many products in consumer electronics are retro faux this is the real thing, it has a quintessential character that is true to the brands own rules with no compromise to marketing theories. It is sheer fun.

Straight out of the box, it doesn't feel tight and reserved. We've had it mainly playing on a set of Spendor D9.2 and they come alive. The bass is deep and full; bouncy and agile. There's also a consistency through the speaker and a real presence that lifts this amp above the rest.

The super cool CD player to match the rest of the McIntosh gear. This unit is an SACD player as well. 

This is a solid unit where detail in the finish is matched by the detail of the sound.

We now have these on regular demo. These headphones are hand manufactured in Yamaha’s Kakegawa factory in Japan.

The product feel is just exceptional, they appear aesthetically to be fragile and delicate but when you pick them up the first tactile impression is how incredibly light they are and the second is just how incredibly strong they are. 

If you know your Tolkein then I would say that these have been crafted in Mithril by some Elven agency of artisanship.

Yamaha have returned to planar magnetic headphone design with the YH-5000SE and listening makes a stunning first impression. They havnt bothered to compromise with sweetness and light but have gone for a maximum injection of music approach. 

These are like having a pair of NS1000 loudspeakers strapped to your ears. We got to try the first pair in Australia and at first I thought they were a bit affronting and perhaps too actinic for the tempered head fi market here..

The problem is that I missed them almost immediately. I want to hear all the music. I want to know the mood of the singer and what the guitarist did the night before. These headphones can do that for me.

This turntable takes a lot of the good stuff from its bigger siblings, the Xtension 9 & 10 as well as incorporating some new ideas into the Pro-ject inventory.

This turntable has the option for connecting it in a true balanced way to a matched phono stage (Phono Box DS3 B for example). A balanced connection like this serves to dramatically decrease the noise floor of the whole system letting the emotion and the detail shine through. Similar systems are used on some of the most high-end turntables we offer like the Yamaha GT5000.

It keeps true to Pro-Ject form with a high mass plinth and platter paired with a solid bearing design coupled of course with a conical carbon fibre 9cc tonearm. The tonearm has easy adjustability for vertical and horizontal tracking angle resulting in better imaging and fidelity.

Pro-Ject is the world's largest manufacturer of Turntables and the Signature 10 is their High-end offering that puts their decades of experience and manufacturing capability to good use.

It features a 10" S-bend Aluminium tonearm. The S-bend is a classic design that offers advantages in trackability of the record groove. Aluminium is one of the best materials acoustically to make tonearms out of as well having minimal acoustic resonances.

Also keeping acoustic resonances to a minimum are its magnetic feet and TPE pillows decouple the Signature 10 platter from its environment keeping a very low noise floor.

This turntable is clear and delicate sounding and on display for you to hear right now in Carlton!

People seem just truly mesmerised by the lights and the bling aesthetic of this amplifier. But this unit really backs it up with a sound quality that matches the aesthetic. Big bold and fun!

This is a hybrid amplifier - meaning it uses both vacuum tubes and solid state circuitry - combining the best of both.

This is a strong no-compromise amplifier that can drive a huge range of speakers and bring out the best in them.

"Want valve [vacuum tube] sound with solid state power and reliability? McIntosh have a long history in both fields and bring their expertise to glorious fruition in the audacious MA352 hybrid amplifier, packed with power, glowing valves and the expansive sound they enjoy... The MA352 is an amplifier that we thought was glorious in both appearance and sound." Named Best Hybrid Amplifier 2020. – Hi-Fi World

This brand new NAP 250 is something to behold! Fast and pacey with extra ordinary bass response. I had a customer ask me twice whether I was sure there weren't any subwoofers attached to the system.

We've had this playing for a couple of days on a set of Spendor D9.2s along with the matching Naim NSC 222 and NPX 300 and it is a standout. Crisp, fresh, pace and rythym.

We just put it on some Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers and we think it may be a match made in HiFi Heaven.

Naim products bought from us, a genuine approved Naim dealer, include the full 2 year warranty.

This is a unit that is ultimately a high-end Hi-Fi component but it's ease of use and multitude of functions put it into the upmarket lifestyle realm as well. 'Lifestyle' for me has become a bit of a cringeworthy term that has too often become associated with some compromise in audio quality for the sake of a better end user experience. To be honest though, we should be aiming for both and they are not mutually exclusive!

Naim embody that ease of use combined with incredible sound. Their streaming app works every time, they have on board DACs to simplify connections and the units are sleek, beautifully finished yet understated and classy. 

And this combination takes things to the next level. Where the Uniti Nova lets you down on separation and power to drive a difficult set of speakers, this combination proffers that in spades. 

We tried a couple of different sets of speakers with these three units and like them most with the Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage...but come in and try some combinations for yourself.

Naim products bought from us, a genuine approved Naim dealer, include the full 2 year warranty.
