The newest iteration of PS Audio's DirectStream DAC is absolutely scintillating in its ability to recreate digital source material. 

We have this unit sitting in the full PS Audio system with the BHK pre-amplifier, the 250 stereo power and the option of putting on the 300 mono blocks all feeding the PS Audio Aspen loudspeakers.

Dynamics, soundstage and depth are the key components that really set this unit apart.

We have had time now to play with the new Mt Massive software and as stated in all the hype, it really does make an enormous difference.

We have been very impressed by these stands. To get the most out of your bookshelf speakers it is important to get the stands right. So much thought and effort goes into making the speaker box itself rigid, acoustically dampening and lowering acoustic resonances. All of this can be lost when you simply put your speakers on some wobbly ikea furniture.

These stands have decoupled top plates, are made out of high density vibration absorbing steel and the spikes work to not only stop any errant vibrations from the speaker going into the floor, they stop vibrations from the floor causing audio havoc with your speakers.

All of this minutely controls the resonances and vibrations of the speakers meaning a better HiFi sound for your ears!

Plus we love that raw metal finish. Unapologetically real and brutalist...but if you're not into that you can go for the white or black finish too.

These are in our main demo room now, being used everyday on a huge range of speakers.

Van Den Hul's Crimson Stradivarius is a favourite in the CAV Reference System. It has also become a Superstar with our customers.

The Stradivarius variation of the Crimson cartridge uses a Pau Ferro wooden body but douses that in multiple layers of specialist laquer emulating the laquer used on Stradivarius string instruments. The sound is even more involving, natural and open than the straight Crimson XGW which only difference is the absence of this special laquer.

It is the easiest cartridge to pair with a range of gear. The Colibri range has astounding levels of channel separation but requires more precise matching with the rest of the gear.

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.

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.

These belts now come as standard with the Planar 8 and Planar 10 but are highly recommended with the Planar 3 and Planar 6 especially if you have the Neo TT PSU.

This will be available in two sizes, being the 55 inch for $12,999 and the 65 inch for $15,999 ... there will be slate grey and clay white finishes and very limited quantities.
