The 2M Blue is a general improvement to everything offered by the 2M Red below it. It's the ultimate upgrade to almost any mid level turn table. Attach it to the end of your tone arm to see what your 'table is really capable of. The Blue steps up to a nude eliptical diamond (not as rude as it sounds) and split pole pin motor.

You may notice we are not always necessarily the cheapest retailer of cartridges but we will ALWAYS include a free professional fitting with all our cartridges. Along with any routine check-ups on your turntable.

This is Loewe's newest offering targeting a more entry level buyer than their classic high-end units. 

It's a lot of TV for $2499 though. A classy build and finish that we come to expect from all Loewe products is not missing from the We.SEE range. This TV looks good when it's on and just as good when it's off.

It has an integrated soundbar that is a very capable 80W with a big, clear sound as well as all the smarts like Netflix and Youtube built-in and ready to press play. 

This is a 4K LED Television with HDR10 rating which means it has the tech specs to make a picture look detailed and vibrat.

Come and see them for yourself at our Lygon st. showroom.

A really special Turntable designed alongside Metallica themselves this will become a real talking point in anyone's living room.

Only a limited amount of these have been made and relatively few have come to Australia. 

The last one left at Carlton Audio Visual. It hasn't had any play and has been sitting in a display window on Lygon st.

Red Dawn cables use 6 solid core heavy-gauge conductors (2 more than Blue Heaven). They're the same silver-plated Oxygen-Free-Copper conductors treated in the same way as the rest of the Leif range but more conductors mean more music... That's music to my ears... Learn More

The body of the van den Hul Colibri XGW Stradivarius is made from cross-grained Brazilian Pau Ferro wood, a high density wood that is often used in the bows of stringed instruments. It’s coated with what van den Hul calls a ‘Stradivarius’ lacquer, named after the famous violin maker, Antonio Stradivari. Van den Hul applies three separate layers of this secret formula lacquer and each layer takes several weeks to fully cure and harden, meaning that every cartridge body undergoes months of work before any further construction can even begin.

The Coils are hand wound and made from matched crystal gold wiring. 

This combination gives you an incredible combination of rich naturalness and resolution.

Not to be confused with the Crimson XGW Stradivarius, this unit is the Crimson's older, more refined sibling. It has incredible channel separation. Detail, imaging and soundstage are second to none. All of this and it keeps a realism and musicality unique to the high end Van den Hul cartridges.

This is the mother of all Surround Sound Pre-amps. It has an unprecedented 13.2 Channel Processing capability, of course all of the latest immersive audio formats like DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D, enough EQing and room adjustments to make your system sound perfect in ANY situation and soooo many other goodies it's hard to list them all. BUT above all it sounds BRILLIANT. And that's to do with the impeccable internal fitout. This whole unit is powered by its own Toroidal transformer. It's made in Marantz's premium Japan factory (the only other Marantz AV unit made there is the SR8012) and you can tell by the finished quality of the build. This is our go-to unit for High-End Home Cinema installations and we find they do particularly well with Krix MX series speakers! Learn More

We used to sell these in the mid eighties and they were such a revelation back then.

The introduction of unprecedented levels of musicality by taking a normal amp, running it in pure class a mode and physically turning it inside out so that the casing was the heatsink. The revival of this product by the born again Musical Fidelity company is really exciting. 

There are sensible improvements made to the 21st century version ... motorised remote Alps volume control ... dual rail twin mono power supply ... very high quality components ... direct preamp gain by pass switch

The new range of Loewe Televisions includes some handy features like improved accessibility to streaming apps, better picture quality and integration of soundbars.

Most modern TVs on todays market pay little if any attention to the speakers on a Television. Putting in small tin-can sounding components that face backwards towards the wall making dialogue pretty much incomprehensible.

Loewe has always been one to put in the effort and the capital into good quality sound and that's a particular reason why their TVs stand out from the crowd. 

The Bild is series now integrates this soundbar neatly into the frame of the Bild i Television. 

If you own your own standalone sound system and don't require a dedicated soundbar, the Bild i would be more appropriate. 

The Bild is is perfect for those who want great sound in a slim single unit package.

The Bild is comes in 48", 55" and 65" versions.

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.

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

We are now making way for the new Cyrus models and still have brand new stock left of these beauties. I'm not even sure how they're going to make these any better. These are hot for the taking. For all those Vinyl lovers, there's not really a better phono stage out there.

Once upon a time Cyrus made a phono stage in called the Phono X, a very adjustable and sensitive line stage for adding a high quality record player to a Cyrus system encasd in their characteristic magnesium alloy chassis. It wasn't cheap, but it was simply fantastic to listen to with a sub zero noise floor and acute but sweet detail presentation.

They stopped making it in fairly short order, acceding to the then prevailing market wisdom that turntables were primitive tech doomed for extinction. Oh how we cried ... and Phono Xs became sought after and highly collectible.

Welcome to 2016 and Cyrus have risen to the call of born again vinyl and released the Phono Signature, and it is fantastic.

This is the top of the Sonetto range and is one of those awesome-at-everything loudspeakers ...

Full blooded deep bass with that romantic and seductive treble nature that characterises the Sonus faber range. The Sonetto VIII offers house party levels on an appropriate amplifier, but retains a smooth treble presence and warmth and depth when being played quietly as well.

Run these on a McIntosh MA352 amplifier and experience bliss

This is truly one of those do-it-all Amplifiers. It is a streamer, it has phono input (turntable) and HDMI Arc (TV), DAB+ & Tuner (radio), 3 optical and 1 coax digital input. 

If you've ever thought of it, this amp probably has it.

Pair all this with classic aesthetic, blue lights and VU meters and this is a very impressive unit.

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.

We already love the Naim Uniti Atom as a 2 chanel stereo amplifier come streamer so it's no surprise that a headphone version of that is going to be very popular and attract some rave reviews. An attactive all-in-one box capable of impressing serious Head-Fi enthusiasts. 

This unit will happily do the heavy lifting on some of the harder to drive highend Headphones to make them come alive like never before. And there's no need to start a whole new HiFi rack to accomodate a headphone amp, source and cables. One box to sit on a desk, perhaps, and you're good to go.

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

The Italian speaker manufacturer, Sonus Faber, are renowned for making highend speakers like the imposing Aida II. Bespoke, beautiful and made with incredible attention to detail.

Lumina III however forms part of their new Entry Level offerings. Sonus Faber have had the Venere and the Principia Entry Level ranges in the past but notably, all of those speakers were made in a Chinese factory. The Lumina are made in their Italian factory next to their Highend siblings and straight out of the box they look more like the Olympica Nova or the Reference range than the Principia or Venere. The lovely front baffle looks like a thin version of their multilayered wood design used on the higher models and the leather wrap on the rest of the cabinet, is a nice touch for those of us who love their leather! 

They also have a the same Damped Apex Tweeter used on the Sonetto range which really gives these speakers "The Voice of Sonus Faber' more than any of the previous Entry Level iterations. 

And that Voice is rich and full. Of course, not as detailed as precise or refined as the more expensive models but they sound and look quintessentially Sonus Faber. 

All of this comes in a neat Living Room friendly package as well. That's super slim and compact. 

For this reason and their competitive price point, they're a winner!
