This is a quality unit. A metallic chassis houses a beefy headphone amp and DAC but still in a neat portable, battery operated form. 

Nice touches are the ability to run the 3.5 and the 1/4 inch outputs simultaneously.

There's nothing clunky or cheap feeling on this unit. The volume knob feels solid and smooth and sturdy. No cheap bits of plastic attached to the unit at all.

We've been pleasantly surprised by these speakers. A budget speaker that holds their own.

Not the earthshattering goodness of some of our more high-end offerings but if your after a speakers for a good first system or maybe something to set up in a garage, these are the ones.

They're also our smallest speakers in our inventory so a nice option if you're tight on space.

Available in Glossy Black and White

One of the last Apollo R in captivity. This unit was traded-in. It is a rare beast as Rega aren't making them anymore and most people want to hold on to them for as long as they can.

Perfect condition and comes with box and accessories

This is an interesting unit designed to drop the price of the subwoofers just a bit . It doesn't have the smarts of the Pro version with the EQing abilities of the App nor does it have the upgraded drivers and tweaks to the componentry.

It still has a 12" driver and a high powered D class amplifier.

Excellent value for money.

More stock expected 2nd week of August 2024

This is a rich, detailed sounding streamer that is so much more HiFi than anything else you can buy for $800 on the market at the moment. This is a budget way to get yourself a serious streamer.

It comes with its box and accessories. Specially included with this unit is the Cyrus Nuforce remote. Not only will this remote control the streamer, it will also handle other cyrus components in your system, should you have them.

We've got one unit in Black of this Attessa Transport. It is an open box, perfect condition and comes with all accessories as well as full warranty.

A great opportunity for you to buy a handy and nice transport. 

Designed to pair with the matching streaming amplifier, Roksan have made some interesting choices in the design of their new CD transport.

Uniquely, you can control this CD transport via the BluOs app. This is the software system developed for BlueSound components. If you already have BlueSound, the Attessa units will integrate perfectly into your home multi-room audio setup.

As the name suggests it is purely a transport with no Digital to Analogue Converter attached and therefore needs to be connected to an amplifier with a DAC or a separate DAC unit. Do note, there is only one digital out of this unit, a Coax out, so you'll need to use that connection on a DAC. Coax digital connection is what we suggest you use for such digital connections anyway.

It forms a sleek integrated system with the Attessa streaming amplifier where it its design and functionality will shine.

It can easily be connected into other systems as well. Simply connect it to a digital input on either a DAC or an integrated amplifier of your choice. 

One unit left. New in a box. 100W in a half-sized chassis. The perfect amp for a harder to drive set of bookshelves.

We saw this first at the Munich Hi Fi show where it was being used to drive something unlikely and very difficult in loudspeakers, it was a quiet little session in the demo room at Munich with a definite tension in the air as the wolves were circling each other in the Distribution Arena. The smell of blood was in the water and the knives were out.

The Cyrus One had raised the interest level in the product and what had been a quiescent and polite gentleman's agreement to purvey in Australia was attracting a new level of interest.

This is a really strong product for us ... finally a rival for the Rega Brio?

Cyrus One Official website.

This is the third version of this very capable amplifier to be released and it is exceptionally innovative. To our knowledge this is the first piece of proper Hi-Fi to have a Google Cast built into it.

So it has all the Cyrus One attributes of clean midrange articulation with excellent spatial rendition. The Cyrus techs have engineered a Google Chromecast into the digital preamplifier section that allows for broad spectrum access of all the streaming services.

This is an interesting unit. This unit has had parts replaced in it and is an opened box but barely used. It comes with full factory warranty with Box and all the accessories.

Black unit.

A high quality performance integrated amplifier in a small, elegant chassis. This unit has connectivity for a subwoofer as well as digital connections perfect to create a mini home entertainment system.

The Marantz silver has always been a favourite for customers and combined with its lovely wooden side panels, this isn't a unit that you need to hide away.

This particular unit has been on display for a number of years but hasn't seen that much use. It is in very good condition but does have some small, superficial marks on the casing. 

This is Phantom II, a new breed of wireless speaker. By stretching size and performance beyond reasonable limits, Devialet engineers have brought to life the only ultra-compact home sound system capable of delivering high fidelity and physical impact, whatever volume you listen at. Insanely powerful. Defiantly small. You won’t know what hit you.

One left of these exceptional units. New in a box. We are now making way for the new Cyrus models, come and get this while it's still here!

X Power
This high quality amplifier is a great example of our upgrade philosophy, providing you with excellent stereo amplification as well as the opportunity to improve the sound in the future by adding a second X Power.

The X Power uses an oversized power supply, which allows it to be incredibly dynamic and responsive to even the most challenging inputs. These huge power reserves will be channelled into your music whether being used in stereo or mono mode.

To make sure all of that power is put to good use, every single component - from the die cast Cyrus chassis down to each power filter, has been selected through a careful testing process to find the combination which provides our trademark sound quality.

The PSX-R2 takes the X Power to another level of power amplification. By powering the audio output stages and separating control and audio signal power supplies the PSX-R2 boosts the finesse of the X Power, translating into even smoother treble and mid-range performance and a faster weightier bass.

With a PSX-R2, an X Power can provide up to 120 watts (stereo) or 240 watts (mono) per channel (into 4Ω).

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.

"What H Fi?" on the Phono Signature".
"Hi-Fi Choice" on the Phono Signature".

We miss these speakers at Carlton Audio Visual. They are a rare beast in the HiFi world. Usher is a Taiwanese company that no longer distribute into Australia.

The Mini Dancers are a not-so-mini floorstanders with a clear and precise tone that lets the music speak. Much of this precision comes from the quite unique Beryllium/titanium tweeter.

They look a bit like a Sonus Faber with a gorgeous curved honey wood finish. But do not have the same sometimes coloured or bloated feeling that certain people dislike with Sonus Faber.

These particular units have a couple of nicks and dints. Nothing drastic but they have been a well-loved and well-used set of speakers. They are in perfect working condition and all of the nicks are purely superficial.

We do not have the boxes for these units and they will have to be picked up or delivered by arrangement.

We are now making way for they new cyrus range and as such have available one NEW in BOX Cyrus 62 Dac ready to go. Great value, grab it while it's still here.

It might be the baby of the range, but the award winning UK made 6DAC is true Cyrus.  Clean, fast and totally engaging this is an amp for music fanatics.

Relatively speaking, Meze Audio, is a new company in the world of HiFi and Headphones. Founded in 2011, they joined a plethora of small companies producing good, reasonably priced over ear headphones. Many of the other companies have faded into obscurity but Meze quickly made a mark by designing someting extraordinary, The Empyreans. 

The Empyreans were a revelation. Not a cheap Headphone but they make no apologies for being uncompromising in every detail of the design. Pairing with a company called Rinaro Isodynamics who make exceptional planar magnetic drivers for the Headphones, the Empyreans had HiFi reviewers stunned with their musicality and precision. 

Since causing waves with the Empyreans, Meze has gone from strength to strength sticking to this uncompromising design ethos that refuses to simply follow the pitfalls of Head Fi trends. Rather they simply make sure they make units that outperform their competition in sound quality with finishing details that they find beautiful. Hence the timeless quality of their products and devoted fans they have accumulated over the last couple of years. Carlton Audio Visual has definitely become one of these fans!

As you can see a perfect condition Auralic streamer that comes with boxes and accessories. A great unit that has a fantastically musical sound with detail as well.

A lot of handy functions like a built in DAC, preamplifier and ability to add a hard drive. What was a great value streamer has now become a bargain for a lucky someone.

To note, this model has now been superseded by the Auralic Altair G1.1 

I gather that there are $320m of headphones sold in Australia last year ... some of thoose people need to try their aural pride and joys with this headphone amplifier to hear what they can really sound like like when properly powered and signalled.

This is the real deal Headphone amplifier. And our loss is your gain as we're selling our unit off Ex-display, in Black.

Perfect condition, as new and comes with Box and all accessories.

Making way for new models, we're selling our Ex-demo stock Pre2 DAC. Perfect condition and comes with box and accessories.

The Pre₂ DAC XR separates the pre amp into its own chassis and provides a dedicated power supply which means the pre amp can resolve more detail. Complete with a built-in DAC that is now complete with the QXR upgrade board for even better performace. The pre amp is compatible with a very wide range of sources such as CD players, streamers or your TV digital audio out.
