Systems

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.

At Carlton Audio Visual we're not normally ones to jump up and down at a $10500 amplifier and streamer all-in-one unit. But this one by Naim Audio is different, much different.

A sublime combination of musicality and clarity. Music jumps alive in the hands of this unit. It's fast, clear and precise but it doesn't compromise that with any sort of harshness to the sound.

A brilliant performer if you're after a compelling reproduction in an 'all-in-one' box.

A stablemate of the industry for over 70 years. Few products hold this legendary status, such as the Quad Esl-57's and Linn LP12

Graham Audio are proud to present the BBC-licensed Chartwell LS3/5A.

The LS3/5A was produced by BBC Designs Department in response to detail changes in the performance of the drive units that were originally chosen for the LS3/5 as designed by BBC Research and Development. It is the most well-known of all the BBC loudspeakers, and remains the compact loudspeaker of choice for many today.

As you would expect, our version - engineered by Derek Hughes - includes authentic details such as the perforated metal tweeter grille, thick felt pads surrounding the tweeter, and Velcro rather than our usual hidden magnets to secure the grille frame. The cabinet uses 12mm panels and a fixed rear panel, according to BBC Designs Department's specification.

As the only company to have ever manufactured the LS3/5, and now also the LS3/5A, audiophiles are now in the unique position of being able to hear for themselves the differences that these changes made to the design originally intended by BBC R&D.

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.
