This is an ambitious high end single brand system that throws down the gauntlet from Japan to the rest of the World. Needless to say Yamaha have the resources to pull something like this off. Although the elements of the 5000 are firmly based on the iconic NS1000 loudspeakers and the turntable pre and power amplifiers of the time, this system is thoroughly representative of third decade 21st century materials and design.

So this is the modern iteration of the Gramaphone, and to make it the real thing we are including a matching Project Record Player that completes its destiny.

Sometimes when people come into the store and ask for a stereo I want to go full Rowan Atkinson on them as in the eighties "Not the 9 o' clock News" ...

Now I can simply demonstrate them a genuine 21st Century Gramaphone that also has digital every thing.

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.

The "Aston martin table top radio" has all grown up now that the Ruark R410 is here. This is a lovely piece of kit that smoothly plays all the needed music formats in broadcast and streaming in delightful retro-is-modern form.

Seriously it is surprising how lustrous the finish on this .... radiogram ... is. The real wood veneer feels like expensive designer furniture rather than a mere piece of consumer electronics. And the sound performance makes it a real contender in the market that has hitherto been ruled by the Devialet Phantom and the Naim Muso, you can turn this device up all the way on its tactile knurled metal volume control and it just rocks on.

The streaming reception and connectivity options are exceptional ... the damn thing has optical and HDMI inputs as well as a phono stage ... it seems to be able to play just about everything the old world of analogue and the new world of digital require.

A good stereo system is more than the sum of its parts and this particular compact selection of Hi Fi components offers that sonic synergy.

We love these Monitor Audio Bronze 50 loudspeakers that this package comes with. They are sweet and deep beyond their size and are well matched to the Rotel A10 amplifier ("built like a gun").

The glass plattered ProJect T1 SB turntable in wood finish comes with a decent ortofon cartridge and has electronic speed control. Charmingly retro but decently modern at the same time.

Jack Straw was an English politician instrumental in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 … although he was pro intervention the Bush government in the US at the time disliked him because he refused to countenance an attack on Iran. Our partner distributor Interdyn has put this system together to introduce a bit of Vinyl Shock and Awe into your residential circumstance. The name is really derived from The Grateful Dead lyrics by the way ... This system has the excellent Monitor Audio Bronze 50 loudspeakers with Rotel A10 amplifier and glass plattered Project T1 turntable.
