Turntables

turntables

If you want to play back your LP, a record player is what you need. A good turntable not only spins you right round, but it stops unwanted vibrations from getting to your wanted vibrations. Record players come in many varieties, from the simple to the complex. Luckily we stock something for all tastes.

  • Acoustic Signature Maximus Neo (without Tonearm & cartridge)

    The Maximus Neo fitted with the TA1000 tonearm has been awarded the incredibly sought after “Absolute Sound Product of the Year” by that most prestigious and discerning of publications.

    The Absolute Sound on the Acoustic Signature Maximus with TA1000 arm

    At Carlton Audio Visual, we have always admired the engineering prowess and refined and complete musicality of Acoustic Signature turntables.

    Acoustic Signature are a small company who proudly don't produce turntables for the mass market. Their factory close to Stuttgart, Germany makes everything in house. This is not an assembly line. From start to finish. The aluminium and brass comes into the factory as a raw material and at the end of an 8 week process, a turntable is born.

    We live in a world that has been transformed by globilisation where sourcing cheap components from 'off shore' manufacturers is common place. This, of course, has its advantages but asserting control over the whole supply chain is impossible as so many large companies have discovered. Just think of Nike and their struggle to control where and how their textiles are being made. This will be a problem for our generation as we try to be more ethical or more environmentally sustainable or simply strive for quality assurances. For items we care about, for items that will last a generation or two, the only way you can overcome this is by buying from manufacturers who are dedicated in-house builders.

    And even at the entry level, Acoustic Signature's Maximus Neo, is made in house and to all the same quality assurances, environmental and ethical standards as their top of the range product.

    An Acoustic Signature, will last you a lifetime... and more

  • Luphonic H2 Turntable with K2 Tonearm

    The H2 model is a high-quality turntable with belt drive and a tonearm with gimbal suspension. The unusual shape of the turntable was chosen to minimize possible interference from the platter bearing on the tonearm. To avoid sound-disturbing influences from the motor or impact sound, a sandwich construction was chosen, with a layer of vibration-damping foam inserted in the center. The chassis is made of solid surface material, which has low resonance due to its high density and physical structure, making it an ideal material for this application. The highly polished surface is produced by a complex process involving 7 grinding and polishing passes, and impresses with its pleasant feel.

  • Pro-Ject X8 Evolution Turntable

    This turntable takes a lot of the good stuff from its bigger siblings, the Xtension 9 & 10 as well as incorporating some new ideas into the Pro-ject inventory.

    This turntable has the option for connecting it in a true balanced way to a matched phono stage (Phono Box DS3 B for example). A balanced connection like this serves to dramatically decrease the noise floor of the whole system letting the emotion and the detail shine through. Similar systems are used on some of the most high-end turntables we offer like the Yamaha GT5000.

    It keeps true to Pro-Ject form with a high mass plinth and platter paired with a solid bearing design coupled of course with a conical carbon fibre 9cc tonearm. The tonearm has easy adjustability for vertical and horizontal tracking angle resulting in better imaging and fidelity.

  • Luphonic H1 Turntable with K2 Tonearm

    The H1 model is the result of consistent resonance and vibration tests. This involved testing how the moving components, e.g. the motor, the bearing, etc., affect the sound. To achieve the best possible result, the chassis of the H1 was made of a very light but strong rigid foam bonded to a stiff laminate. The shape and material of the chassis transmit virtually no vibrations or resonances towards the tonearm.

    Now available in a Matt White finish as well!

    The new Planar 6 takes Rega's detail retrieval to an unfounded level in the hotly contested sub $4000 category. Come and audition it today.

    There such a definitive joy in rediscovering a familiar piece of vinyl born again on a new turntable and cartridge that ranks up there with the glass of irreplaceable wine and the spring morning motorcycle ride in Bavarian mountainsides ... unlike the latter two you can do it again and again without damaging health ...

  • Roksan Attessa Turntable

    The new Turntable from Roksan is designed around minimalist ideals. Less is More!

    The Unipivot tonearm has a single point bearing instead of the multiple horizontal and vertical bearings of a gimbal design. This means there's a reduction in the coupling surface area. In short - less vibrational resonance.

    A high mass glass platter within an Aluminium shell providing extra dampening. All made to look sleek and sexy.

    Built in phono stage for a reduced clean look without the need for an external unit.

    Highly controlled microprocessor built in for exacting speed control.

  • Rega Planar 3 Turntable

    While other brands of record player suffered mass extinction through the asteroidal impact of Compact Disc in the early eighties Rega sales never faltered. 

    During the long dark years of Compact Disc we always kept a Planar 3 on readiness in the store to play an old Pink Floyd record and show people how much better vinyl could sound.

    Like a crocodile hunkering down in the swamp the Planar 3 just kept on with the job of pleasing music lovers and occasionally consuming careless newly evolved Digital Mammals ...

    Add a factory fitted Rega Elys 2 cartridge normally $350 but in a package with the turntable only $200 extra.

    Or the more detailed and better controled, Rega Exact, for an extra $350 (normally $650). And it comes factory fitted, ready to go.

    Of course you can choose your own cartridge from our wide selection as well. Ortofon 2M Blue or even a Bronze are very popular. As are cartridges in the Sumiko range. On of the beauties of the Planar 3 in particular is it does so well with a plethora of cartridges. Call us to discuss what would be best for you.

  • Pro-Ject X1, Walnut

    This is a well thought out turntable from well-respected Pro-Ject. They've used classic aspects of their design and bundled the best of them into a great, not-overly-priced, turntable.

    This Turntable comes with a light and super stiff Tonearm being made from a carbon fibre/aluminium sandwich, an acoustically dampening acrylic platter and the convenience of speed control at the end of your finger tips on the deck. Doing away with having to lift up the platter to change the speed for those 45rpm records.

    Finished off in a walnut veneer, this deck looks sleek and beautiful in any home.

    This Turntable doesn't come with a cartridge. Please give us a call to talk about cartridge options. We can mount and set up a cartridge in store and have it ready to collect or ship as if it came from the factory that way.

  • Rega Planar 2 Turntable

    1 Review(s)

    This is the newest incarnation of this 40 year long running model. There are still Planar 2s out there in your grandfathers house that he blew his student grant on in 1976 (remember student grants? Baby boomers had it good didn't they ...) It has the glass platter and 24V motor of the Planar 3 with a simplified tonearm and chassis construction.

    It comes as standard with the Rega Carbon cartridge that is ... OK ... basically a relabelled Audio Technica AT95 ... but we believe this turntable is very worthy of an upgrade. 

    We started selling Rega Planar 2s thirty years ago and dealing with them again is like meeting an old friend from uni and playing music with them and feeling young and stoned again ....

    "What Hi Fi?"loves the Planar 2.

  • Project Debut Carbon Evo with Ortofon 2M Red

    On Special for Black Friday until stocks run-out. Only WALNUT available.

    The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon looms large in HiFi circles as a must hear Vinyl player in the $1K price bracket. It's an affordable deck with a good sound. A little less money than a Rega Planar 3 ($1449), it doesn't have the cleanliness in the sound of the Rega but it's a major step up from the Primary E or the Essential in the Pro-Ject range. All of a sudden you're getting a real Turntable, not something that feels like a toy designed only to sit on a dresser and be played only when friends are over.

    A solid Turntable for when you start to get serious about Vinyl.
