  • Revival Audio ATALANTE 5, Retro 3-way Bookshelf Speaker

    These are another classic design that channels concepts from the 70s. JBL, Klipsch and Spendor have been making speakers like this too. Unlike the Klipsch and JBLs, these have a really rounded, mellow mid and treble quality that make them easy and relaxed to listen to.

    They have a big beefy bass like sinking into a plush lounge chair.

    Revival Audio is a new speaker brand from Alsace, France. You could be forgiven for thinking the above accolades as prematurely bestowed upon a speaker maker just entering the market. Yet, Revival Audio are no simple start up. The company’s sole two speakers (at this stage) are the fruit of decades of combined expertise from ex-Dynaudio’s Daniel Emonts and Jacky Lee, Revival Audio’s founding members.

    While Emonts was Senior R&D Engineer and Lee was Chief Commercial Officer at Dynaudio, they became great friends and together took the plunge in establishing Revival Audio by the end of 2021, with the ambition of crafting some of the best speakers in the world. Together they make a formidable team and are well paired to take on the industry heavy weights.

    Come and try them out now at Carlton Audio Visual.

    Matching stands are an optional extra at $750 a pair.

  • Pro-Ject Colourful Audio System

    Debut Carbon Evo Turntable, MaiA S3 Amplifier and Speaker Box 5 S2 Speakers.

    This is a fabulous little system embracing all the good things of vinyl and 2 chanel stereo system - Depth and breadth of sound and analogue from start to finish.

    Pro-Ject are the biggest Turntable manufacturers in the world and if you ask them why Turntables are so popular these days they have some surprising answers. Heinz, head of Pro-Ject, told me that he sees a lot of similarities between the watch industry and turntables. He likens the continuing obsession with mechanical movements to peoples intrigue of turntables and vinyl. In both of these the information is never turned into a digital signal. The beauty lies in the craft and artisanship of the mechanical instruments. 

    For turntables this means, the diamond that sits in the groove of the Vinyl, the bearings for smooth operation and materials of the speakers and turntable tonearms which impart their own resonant frequencies.

    This is the perfect way to put a bit of the magic and beauty of vinyl into your home. It's suitable for small and large spaces and has a surprisingly big sound for relatively small components.

    Available at the moment for this special price with a Walnut and Satin Blue turntable.

  • Marantz SA-10S1, Flagship Super Audio CD player

    CD is not dead ... it's merely resting a little. In my humble opinion you haven't heard how good digital music can be unless you have heard a Cd or SACD through a really good player like this ...

    Considered by many long term reviewers as the standard in SA CD and CD reproduction. The depth of musicality, extraordinary; The imaging, second to none.

    The amount of times hardened audiophiles have said to me with this CD player, 'I haven't heard that in that track before', countless. We've put this CD player into a whole range of different types of systems. We find it very versatile as to what it can be 'matched' with and that's also a testament to it simply being a REALLY good CD player.

  • Esseci SAP Audio Relaxa 750

    The flagship of the Esseci Design magnetic levitation boards. To increase the isolation on your HiFi equipment can drastically improve the sound and performance of your HiFi. Afterall, much of the design of HiFi is concerned with just that. And expensive and sensitive pieces of HiFi equipment go to extremes to get this right. Most obviously in the Turntable market.

    This is a nifty way of getting more isolation into your system for your existing gear. 

    And the magnetics and floating board is seriously cool!

  • Esseci SAP Audio Relaxa 530

    The SAP Audio Relaxa is not just a unit for turntables, although turntables benefit hugely from them. Pair this magnetic levitation board with any HiFi component and hear the palpible differences.

    And what's cooler than having a floating platform in your HiFi system!?

  • Esseci SAP Audio Relaxa 622

    Magnetic levitation Isolation board.

    A magnetically levitating isolation board perfect for keeping your turntable on and away from any sort of environmental vibrations. But it can also be used for other HiFi equipment. CD players, ampflifiers and other electronics will also greatly benefit from a unit like this.

    Good isolation of a turntable performs wonders with the sound of a turntable. It's what very expensive turntables use to get the best performance out of their units. But rather than going out and buying a whole new deck, think about upgrading your isolation platform.

    And what's cooler than magnetic levitation to do that?!

    We have our Rega Planar 10 sitting on top of it, at the moment sounding tight and expressive.

  • PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamplifier

    We are Vinyl lovers at Carlton Audio Visual. The people who work here love Vinyl and without exception have a record player at home...most have multiple! Our customers have also held the torch for vinyl through the long dark years of the nineties and early 2000s when most had forgotten about the joys of a Turntable, we had a dedicated and passionate team of clients and staff who loved their LPs. Since then Turntables have become trendy and people have rediscovered why they were loved for so long.

    And when customers are at a point in their journey where the lifelong admiration and obsession with vinyl and HiFi has taken hold, we recommend the Stellar Phono Stage. It will last a lifetime of cartridge upgrades and swaps. It will extract the most out of a $8499 cartridge (Van den Hul Crimson Stradivarius MC is a sensational pairing with this unit) as it will with a $500 Moving Magnet cartridge.

    You'll hear control, detail and presence; There's a spatial awareness in the sound and transparency that reveals itself when you plug this into any system. And it performs well above its pay grade. We really believe to better this you'll have to pay $17K for some Audio Research gear and hell...even then, I'd say some people will still prefer this phono stage for it's clarity in the mid range.

    The only thing that we find annoying about it...it requires a remote control to operate. You'll need that in the very first instance to turn its mute off in order to get any sound. And then of course all its plethora of settings that give it such versatility for all cartridges are adjusted on the remote. So don't...like us...loose the remote! *

    Also, you need to be patient with this machine and run it in. It really is night and day the difference that makes. We even have some Blue Horizon RIAA filters to use as burn in tools on new units so you don't have to put hours on your cartridge burning in the phono stage. We can do that in store for free, for you.

  • PS Audio PerfectWave SACD Transport

    This is the recently released version of PS Audio's CD Transport. And what sets this unit apart from anything that PS Audio has done before and also anything that's been done before by any other HiFi company, is their galvanically isolated output stage. That means that the data is being transfered from the input stage to the output stage via a type of very focused short wave radio frequencies. Any vestiges of interference that inevitably occur when these stages are hardwired, are completely eliminated.

    Input and output stages have their very own board and power supply to keep them completely separated as well. FPGAs (Field-Programable Gate Array; if you'd like to learn more about these very handy devices see Paul McGowan's video here) is utilised to ensure clocking and data buffering are spot on. 

    The best way to use this unit and unleash its full potential is to use the I2S output or the HDMI out put to a DAC (like the PS Audio DirectStream) that can handle it. In this respect you can hear a complete Raw DSD file...and that truly is another experience. A DSD file is what makes an SACD an SACD. Instead of sampling at a determined fast rate (bit rate) the sine curve of the musical file, a DSD file samples the whole sine curve. These raw files are bigger and have to be compresesd to even push it out of a transport. But not with this unit and the I2S...full blown raw DSD files streaming into your speakers. Heaven.

    Of course you can still use this unit without the I2S and it's still devastatingly good. A pair of BNC connectors will double a normal DSD output to make it DSD128 and this connection is particularly scintillating with a Chord Dave...

  • Jack Straw vinyl audio package ... seventies style walnut finish value

    A good stereo system is more than the sum of its parts and this particular compact selection of Hi Fi components offers that sonic synergy.

    We love these Monitor Audio Bronze 50 loudspeakers that this package comes with. They are sweet and deep beyond their size and are well matched to the Rotel A10 amplifier ("built like a gun").

    The glass plattered ProJect T1 SB turntable in wood finish comes with a decent ortofon cartridge and has electronic speed control. Charmingly retro but decently modern at the same time.

    Jack Straw was an English politician instrumental in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 … although he was pro intervention the Bush government in the US at the time disliked him because he refused to countenance an attack on Iran. Our partner distributor Interdyn has put this system together to introduce a bit of Vinyl Shock and Awe into your residential circumstance. The name is really derived from The Grateful Dead lyrics by the way ... This system has the excellent Monitor Audio Bronze 50 loudspeakers with Rotel A10 amplifier and glass plattered Project T1 turntable.

  • PS Audio DirectStream PowerPlant 12

    The P12 Powerplant. The best way to do power regeneration. Clean up your HiFi!

    We have many customers who have good existing HiFi systems and especially recently with Lockdowns and spending more time at home listening to their systems, they ask 'what's my next step? I want something better. But do I really have to spend big on a new amp? Or is it more worthwhile getting new speakers?' Yes, these are questions facing the priveleged with cash to spend in these uncertain times.

    The obvious answer to these dilemnas in our minds is a regenorator....not just your average power conditioner but a unit that will take the power off the wall and turn it into a perfect 230V sine wave minus the background hum of our modern urban environments.

    For those who LOVE a bit of hands on tech and physics, this unit will even show you what it's improving with its full colour touch display on the front panel. You can measure the distortion that's coming off the wall using a built in THD analyser and oscilloscope and see the improvements that it's making.

    And for those who are simply concerned about the music sounding better, sit back and relax. You here more articulation. The beginning and ending of bowed notes in a string orchestra are discernible and there in all their glory. The die out of piano notes seem to disolve into an inky blackness and dynamics are bigger. 

    Check out PS Audio's offical website here

    Please note the Australian specifications for this unit are different to the American ones as the unit is designed to take Australian Voltage off the wall. For the Australian market, the P12 has 4 outputs.

  • PS Audio PowerPlant 15, P15

    This is where power get serious. 9 power outlets delivering perfect AC sine wave to your precious HiFI. 

    Sonically this can be a bigger difference than getting a new amplifier. We've had many HiFi enthusiasts blown away by the detail and the largeness of the sound that this delivers. 

    And so many cool features to play with as well. You can measure the distortion and the improvements that the unit makes, you can set timed switch on and switch off sequences for your gear, measure output voltages, switch on/off certain zones. The geek in us all does a little happy dance with all the options.

    But the real selling point is the sound. You don't realise how much of the power supply you hear through your speakers until it's not there anymore.

  • Monitor Audio Silver 50 (7G)

    Monitor Audio are continually updating their speakers and making discernible improvements to the sound and finish of their products.

    Their latest refresh sees a new slant on the ever popular Silver range. An updated mid/bass driver and wave guide on the tweeter are the major improvements to the sound. But the apple is not falling far from the tree. For those who have always loved the sound of the silver range, you won't be shocked by drastic changes in the core sound. Simply slight improvements in clarity and presentation.

    The same goes for the finish of the cabinets. There are changes to the colours. The walnut is richer and less red. I think it looks more natural. We also see the wide spread availability of the White and Ash (likened to the old natural Oak) finishes in Australia as well as a Gloss Black and an Oak Black finish.

  • PS Audio Stellar Power Plant 3, P3 affordable power plant

    This is the new power plant/regenerator from PS audio and it comes in at an affordable price point, at least much more so than its $17K big brother, the P20. It functions on the same principle of the P20, turning what is dirty voltage off the wall into a perfect AC sine wave.

    Much of the power off your wall suffers from low voltage, sagging power, distorted waveforms and just pure noise and the quality of this power off the wall has gotten worse over the last ten years and continues to degrade. That's why many Hi-Fi enthusiasts are finding that sorting out ones power needs is a crucial investment in a good system. And the regenerators are the best at sorting out these power issues. That's because they start from scratch to produce a new sine wave instead of just trying to mask the problems (as is the case with passive filter products).

    The P3 is already generating alot of hype and reviewers are loving it. Really because it's the only product out there that's a regenorator in this price bracket.

    We, at Carlton Audio Visual, believe this is the true meaning of cheap, clean power for all!!
