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.

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.

Please call to check availability of each colour.

For $799 this is excellent value. In fact there is not another heart and soul amplifier that combines such convenient and contemporary features at such a sensible price.

Encel, a Melbourne company, have toiled for months and months to perfect the design and construction of this unit on which they have collaborated with  one of the worlds greatest amplifier manufacturers, Rotel.

You will buy this amp and simply be happy! The only hard part will be deciding which gen z colour option to go with.

Available in charcoal or white, the Brains amplifier has a moving magnet phono stage for connecting a turntable, optical and coaxial options for digital sources such as a CD player or TV, and an aptX HD Bluetooth receiver to enable streaming from mobile devices. A pair of line-level auxiliary inputs also allows for the connection of analogue components, while a dedicated 3.5mm headphone output is included for listening in private.

Encel have a pair of loudspeakers to match. They have also closely collaborated on these with an established major speaker manufacturer. They are surprisingly good and again are available in an unusual range of colours .... for $1300 odd you can exploit the audio synergy of the two together to make for a reallly cohesive stereo system. With good kit like this that you can hook up to a record player, via bluetooth, or even a television, you really should never buy a soundbar or plastic wireless loudspeakers.

This is the outright king of video performance in DLP 4K projectors for this money. The image is shockingly sharp when first encountered and this is an ideal upgrade if you have an older Sony /Sharp type device that is ready for a contemporary upgrade.

Bordeaux: Eliminates parasitic vibrations, and providing greater sound clarity and focus. The Bordeauxs are ideal for heavier components including monoblocks, Speakers, Power Conditioners, and Turntables. Made of machined stainless steel, the Bordeauxs have a low-profile design to minimize any increase in height.

Each Bordeaux will hold up to 32lbs (14.5kg) and have a coloured ring on the bottom isolator that denotes the model and weight capacity. The OREA series are packaged individually to allow greater flexibility when determining the number of units to use. We recommend a minimum of 3 units under each component, depending on weight.

This amplifier has been around for decades in one form or another, and like James Bond's favourite pocket accesory it is deeply functional, effective, well finished, long lasting, and hits the target for musicality vs price.

This is the newest incarnation of this 40 year long running model. There are still Planar 2s out there in your grandfathers house that he blew his student grant on in 1976 (remember student grants? Baby boomers had it good didn't they ...) It has the glass platter and 24V motor of the Planar 3 with a simplified tonearm and chassis construction.

It comes as standard with the Rega Carbon cartridge that is ... OK ... basically a relabelled Audio Technica AT95 ... but we believe this turntable is very worthy of an upgrade. 

We started selling Rega Planar 2s thirty years ago and dealing with them again is like meeting an old friend from uni and playing music with them and feeling young and stoned again ....

"What Hi Fi?"loves the Planar 2.

There can be only one and this is the current evolutionary pinnacle of single box multichannel home theatre amplifiers. Carlton Audio Visual had a terrific relationship with the original Denon AVCA1SE that was a 29kg five channel x 170 watt super amplifier from the year 2000. Now its 2023 and we have the only fifteen channel x 210 watt with 4 independent XLR and RCA subwoofer outputs. The amplifier is made in Shirakawa in Japan which is actually fittingly not far from the Kure Naval Arsenal where the flagship 65000 ton Battleship Yamato was constructed in 1941 ... with nine 18 inch guns the Yamato is a perfect analog for the AVCA1H. The AVCA1H has the largest power supply ever in the history of Denon theatre amps... the main transformer weighs 11.5 kg whereas the previous model AVCX8500 had a transformer weighing in at 8.1kg Learn More

I think there was a designer in Musical Fidelity who had been spending too much of his life on caffeine and narcotics and marathon listening sessions who in a fit of mad innovation made this massive battle tank of an amplifier with every wet dream specification and design feature for an audiophile fantasy.

If it was a tank it would be Ferdinand Porsche's Panzerkampfwagen VII Maus 188 ton Hitlerite monster that fortunately never went into service. It makes no less than 550 watts per channel into loudspeaker systems with an impedance of 8 ohms, while with a 4 ohm load the figure is a remarkable 870 watts per channel. The manufacturer even goes so far as to speak of even higher power reserves, namely a peak of no less than 1.6 kW at 2 ohms.

The new reference model pre amplifier from Cyrus has tongues wagging at Carlton Audio Visual. We're massive fans of Cyrus gear and admirers of the expertise and craft that goes into this small boutique English manufacturer.

It's no coincidence that many world renowned HiFi brands like Cyrus have popped up around the University town of Cambridge. Cambridge has forever promoted and celebrated the kind of individual obessed with the pursuit of knowledge, engineering prowess and creativity needed to create amazing HiFi. Brands like Arcam (or Audio & Research Cambridge), Cambridge Audio, Mission Electronics and Quad were all born and produced in this corner of the English countryside.

And like those brands the goal of Cyrus is to produce the best sounding electronics possible. They're able to draw on the rich knowledge and innovation that spews out of a town like Cambridge.

The Cyrus Pre XR is on demonstration now at Carlton Audio Visual.

This is a Very small amplifier that packs a lot into it's small chassis. It's one of those units that walks out the door because it ticks all the boxes!

Will squeeze into this tiny space - yes

Bluetooth - yes

phono input for Turntable - why, of course!

digital inputs - yes, yes!

If you're after a mesmerising HiFi experience, I would point you in another direction but if you're after decent sound, little and functional, this one's perfect.

This unit also forms part of Pro-Ject's Colourful Audio System. You can check that out here
