  • Leema Antila EX-DEMO Silver

    The Leema Antila is a classic CD player. Resolving articulate yet deeply and engagingly musical. 

    This is a briliant opportunity to buy our old Ex-Demo stock at a great price. Because this was such a winning formula, Leema haven't changed much in their new version of the the Antila.

    There are a few marks and scratches on the unit which is to be expected for a much loved piece of gear that has spent a number of years on the demo floor.

    The price of this unit reflects the aesthetic marks on the unit. We have tried to take pictures of all of the slight blemishes.

    This unit comes with a box and accessories.

  • Chord Hugo 2 .."The absolute icon of portable DAC in the history of mankind" ...

    It took a while to get here but its very good ....The Hugo 2 is uprated from the first version ... It's smaller and more expensive!

    The Hugo was a problem for us. It was so good that people stopped buying our other inventory of DACs. Although ostensibly a portable product it sounded so very lifelike that it was being used as the main engine in peoples home audio setups.

    This new one is just an exquisite bit of crafted alloy. When you hold it you dont want to let it go ... the glowing buttons while slightly Flash Gordon are delightful in operation and make perfect sense ... after a while.

    The Hugo 2 has four digital inputs. seven hours of battery life, and does the numbers up to 768KHz digital ...

  • Cyrus CDi-XR

    At 9 years old, my first trip overseas was spent in the UK visiting family and friends.

    Dad (mis)spent most of his youth in Cambridge and we followed him around to his old haunts.

    But because he owned and ran Carlton Audio Visual a 'family trip' was always sprinkled with a bit of Hi-Fi. Somehow the family and friends we visited were conveniently located next to HiFi factories...and nestled just next to Cambridge is Huntington where the Cyrus factory still develops and produces its units.

    Needless to say after such an early introduction to the brand, our whole family has owned Cyrus gear. I think my brother currently has 6 cyrus mono blocks set up with his Dynaudio speakers - a great combination. I own a smaller stack with CD8SE, Phono Signature and PSX-R power supply.

    There is no doubt that this boutique English brand commands loyalty from its customers. It's a sound that is effortless and timelessly musical. Their CD players are quieter, letting you hear more detail and sound stage. And they get timing right. Attack on notes is precise & clean bringing you closer to that feeling of 'being there', with the musicians in your living.

    And now Cyrus has launched their new XR series. New casework and buttons reveal a new aethestic direction for cyrus. But improvements to power supply and DAC have elevated this unit beyond their older models.

    The CDi-XR is in stock now and ready to demo.

  • Marantz SA12SE CD Player and DAC, EX-DEMO, Black

    We are preparing for the arrival of new models of marantz SA CD players and as such it is time to sell our demo units of the current stock. This particular unit is Black and in great condition. It comes with box and accessories and a three year factory warranty.

    Marantz CD players have often been the port of last call for that particular customer that is searching for music in a digital realm where everything measures well but is post apocalyptically sterile to the listening. There is also that small but significant in our fanatics base of people for whom SACD is the only answer. And for them these high end Marantz players are the go to product for real quality and realisation of the potential of the format.

    This new piece of kit has been voiced and refined by the Marantz dream team sound engineers and is an excellent external Digital to Analogue Converter for your other digital sources.

  • Rega Saturn Mk 3

    This is the new version of a very dear favourite. A richness to the sound that does away with the brittleness and edge normally associated with the sound of cds. This CD player is the most 'vinyl' sounding CD player I've ever heard.

    The new unit has some updated aesthetics but keeps the same internals as the older Saturn R.

    We are expecting stock of the Saturn Mk3 in July.

  • Auralic Aries S1 Streaming Processor

    This is the Entry level, half-sized pure Streamer by renowned manufacturers, Auralic. The Aries S1 doesn't have the bells and whistles of the Vega S1. No preamplifier, no Dac just a damn good streamer.

    Lots of nice inputs and outputs to suit all needs though (except analogue, of course!). 2 opticals, 1 coax, USB inputs. And a USB dedicated to a Hard Drive. To note here as well there is an ethernet connection and that is the only way to connect it to the internet (needed for its functionality, of course!). There is no WiFi connectivity.

    Outputs include AES, optical, coax and USB.

    A very nice touch on this unit is the screen. Normally only found on much more expensive units, the screen is convenient and pretty! :)

    The characteristic rich warm sound that is a little more 'analogue' sounding than a lot of other streamers on the market.

  • Auralic Vega S1 Streaming DAC

    Vega S1 Streaming DAC is the new half sized unit from Auralic. With a DAC and a preamplifier on board it offers a lot more versatility than its compatriot, the Aries S1. But it does compromise a little on sound quality. 

    The Aries sounds a bit cleaner with bit more spaciousness. Both are the same price, so if you can do without the preamp and dac, I would suggest you do!

    Auralic hasn't skimped on the quality of the DAC on board though making this a very competitive all-in-one digital front end.

    If you hanker for for a more separation and a lower noise floor down the track, the other very cool feature of this unit is the optional off board power supply. I love half sized units with upgradeable power supplies. Most of us only manage to build up our systems over time so an upgrade option for when there's a favourable tax return is always welcome...or maybe I'm simply forever optimistic...

  • Cyrus CDt-XR, flagship CD Transport

    The brand new Cyrus transport CDt-XR builds on a lineage of exceptional reference CD players.

    Cyrus is a small brand in the HiFi world hailing from just outside Cambridge, UK where many heavy hitting HiFi players originate. Think Mission, Quad, Arcam and Cambridge Audio. Of course it's not really much of a surprise that such awesome HiFi comes from the University town where engineering excellence and ingenuity are in good supply!

    The master clocks of the old Cyrus SE models that are now incorporated into the XR models are what provide Cyrus CD players with their true magic. Timing and rythym is sorted - period.

  • PS Audio Airlens Streamer

    The Airlens streamer from PS Audio has arrived in the country!

    This is a new product from American manufacturer, PS Audio. Previously their streamer was an optional add-on to their reference DAC. Now they have a dedicated box for a streamer.

    'You've not yet heard how great streaming can sound until you experience audio through the Airlens'.

    By making sure there is no physical connection between your (very noisy) computer, network and your dac the Airlens creates the ideal streaming conditions. Employing separate power supplies and complete isolation between the input and output stage of the Airlens device. The connection then between input and output on the Airlens happens 'through the air'. Thus creating the best in performance for your music streaming.

    Read more about the ins and outs of the Airlens here at PS Audio's website.

    On display now and ready to order at Carlton Audio Visual! Yippee :D

  • Yamaha CD S2100

    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.

  • Marantz CD50n CD Player

    We love the elegant aesthetic of the new Marantz chassis but that's not the only thing making this a futuristic unit.

    It has streaming built-in so you can find your favourite music easily and conveniently using your prefered music streaming service.

    A lovely rich warm sound, a little more so than the Denons.

  • Cyrus Stream-XR

    This is the much anticipated Cyrus Stream XR - the high end streamer from the boutique British manufacturer.

    Cyrus has always produced musical streamers without a brittle harshness to the sound that often creeps in to this purely digital medium. They have a lyricalness akin to vinyl that is effortlessly listenable.

    The new Cyrus streamers, the Stream XR included, now use the BluOs software also used in the Bluesound gear. But they haven't deviated from the path of the essential Cyrus sound. Both of the new Cyrus streamers exude that classic Cyrus musicality...but now with a seamless, easy-to-use software interface! 

    You can now pair a Cyrus Streamer with a Bluesound all-in-one speaker for an easy to set up multi-room audio system. Win all round.

    The Stream XR has the highly lauded QXR DAC onboard. A DAC that eeks out the finest details of music against an inky blackness devoid of background noise.

    Expect a wider soundstage and musical emotionality.

    This unit can also be paired with the Cyrus PSU-XR power supply which will make this great unit, an epic.

    We love this upgradability. Being able to invest in a piece of high quality HiFi that will stay with you on the upgrade journey.

    These units have already been extremely popular and we have pre sold a handful before they even arrived in Australia and we expect them to be one of our most popular high-end digital front ends.

  • Naim CD5Si

    Naim is one of the best of English HiFi brands harking from Salisbury where their design and manufacturing facilities are located. They are one of the true high-end electronic brands that make gear like their Statement Amplifiers retailing for a cool $375,000 for a set.

    This little CD player is their entry level but for most people this doesn't represent your typical first-time-buyer HiFi component. It's intricately thought out, meticulously engineered, clean and musical. 

    The typical comparison is with Rega and Cyrus CD players, both english and both also in our inventory. The Naim is more transparent sounding than a Rega Apollo, finding more detail and space in the music. It's closer in performance to the bigger (and more expensive) Rega Saturn. The Saturn, however, has a richer tonality to it than the Naim. A bit more 'rounded' on the treble. The Cyrus CDi, has a similar sound signature and as a half size unit it offers a convenient footprint. The slot mechanism will never be a perfectly reliable solution for a CD player though and what Naim has done with their tray and resonance reduction is really admirable.

    In conclusion, this is a unit to throw into the mix from one of the best manufacturers out there. It may well be the perfect unit for you. Feel free to call us to talk more and have a read of some of its stellar reviews from well trusted HiFi institutions.

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