Streamers
Thanks to interweb magics, it's now possible to listen to just about any piece of audio ever recorded whenever you feel like it. How good it sounds though, is going to depend on your streamer. Streamers connect to the internet, pull your music across the world (or your network) and play it back on demand. Streamers not only need to sound good, but they've got to help make it easy for you to find that Whitney Houston track late on a Saturday night after your fourth gin and tonic. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.

Marantz PM7000N stereo amplifier with streaming and DAC
We've always sold Marantz stereo amplifiers at Carlton Audio Visual. From the beginning when Rab acquired stock from another failed retail outfit, that he used to work for. Marantz has been part of the inventory and unlike other brands that leave us once ownership and manufacturing standards change, Marantz stays with us. For thirty years it's been consistently reliable, consistently musical, consistently up to date with the latest connections.
The PM7000N is the lovechild of a throuple of the PM6007amplifier, a Heos Link, and a decent digital to analogue converter.
Connections on this unit include phono for a Turntable, Optical and Coaxial for digital sources like a TV, USB, subwoofer, outputs for two sets of speakers and most importantly streaming capabilities (via Heos built-in). And sure there are other amps that have similar set of connections with Phono and a selection of digital inputs forming the basis of many stereo integrated amps these days, but they don't normally have streaming built in. For another class AB amp with such a spec sheet you could look at the Naim Uniti Atom ($4995) or the Class D Cambridge Audio Evo 150 ($4299) but the Marantz has a richness in the sound that others lack.
A cello sounds full deep and resonating, like a cello should. And female vocalists like Hannah Reid from London Grammar don't become shrill when the volume goes up a bit.
At just below the $2K mark, this is a solid offering and a must-listen for those wanting a do-it-all amplifier.

Auralic Aries G1 Wireless Streaming Transporter
The Auralic Aries G1 is a new addition to the stable here at Carlton Audio Visual and it's been an impressive one!
It is 'only' a transport so you'll need to pair it with a high quality DAC. But as with everything in the Hi-Fi world when you can separate out the components, you can maximise the sound quality. Separate power supplies and separate chassis, so individual circuits don't inadvertently interfere with one another, are crucial.
This unit is the successor to the original Auralic Aries and it has big boots to fill. Many consider that unit to be what brought Hi-res network streaming to the discerning world of the everyday Audiophile. But the Aries G1 is certainly up to the job.
So how to describe how this streaming transport sounds. The best way to describe it is resolving. A cleaness and a delicacy in the music is revealed.
A truly stunning piece of kit and will be the unit of choice for those passionate about their music and needing an excellent quality streaming device that's not up at the $10K mark.
