“This is my second encounter with the Avid Diva II and it again astounded me…” – “The deck is poised, sophisticated and blessed of the sort of scale, grandeur and authority that usually commands a much higher price tag.” – “…the Diva II leads the field at its price point..”

“The stunning Avid Volvere is quite simply a superb example of audio equipment done right.”
- Tone Magazine, 5 Stars review
“The new Volvere is a welcome replacement for what was already a very good turntable. It has a good deal of power associated with the bigger Avid’s and delivers a solid and precise sound that makes a lot of competitors sound decidedly weak.”

Pleased to announce the arrival of the following Nagaoka products from Japan!
NEW range of Nagaoka phono cartridges – Nagaoka cartridges are well known to be affordable over-achievers. You won’t find any hype here, only substance. Engineered to perfection, the quality of these cartridges belies their modest price. Nagaoka only makes MM cartridges, and is fully focused on making the best. This new range achieves not only the trademark smooth sound of MM cartriges, but also the transparency and accuracy in tonality traditionally associated with MC cartridges. MM cartridges have come a long way! All Nagaoka cartridges features a replaceable stylus to protect your investment. View the full range here.
Nagaoka CL-152 Record Cleaner – Way better than any record brush! There is no better way to clean off the dust and light fingerprints on your records. Dust stick to records due to static, making them difficult to brush off; and brushing tend to generate even more static! The Nagaoka’s very soft and sticky rolling surface actually lift dirt not only from the record surface, but from the record grooves too. It is easily washable and can be used and re-used for many years to come. Your records will stay in tip-top condition longer, with much less wet cleaning required. ”Analogue must-have! … this is one of the best HiFi accessories around, with an impressive value for money ratio.” - Review by TNT-Audio.
Nagaoka No.102 Anti-static Record Sleeves - Considered by many to be the finest record sleeves. Being U-shaped and made of a fine material means they are perfect either as a substitute/replacement sleeve, or for inserting into original paper sleeves. Each pack contains 50 sleeves.
The Sonneteer Sedley is an award-winning phonostage with a highly refined sound that that simply let the music flows, naturally. It supports both MM and MC cartridges, and is highly configurable with multiple combinations of impedance and capacitance loading options allowing for fine-tuning to get the best out of your phono cartridge.
The optional USB version adds a USB AD/DAC module that allows you to digitise your vinyl collection for archival and portability reasons, and playback music from your PC/Mac.
“This is simply the best phono preamplifier I’ve heard near this price so far. Highly recommended!” - Review in Audiophile Audition
“Go give this phono preamp a try, and you’ll find yourself scrambling through your LP collection looking for the finest recordings.” – “Thanks to the remarkably clean sound and the excellent image, nothing was hidden, not the lyrics, not the inflections, not the modulations, and definitely not the emotion.” – “…an exceptionally fine phono preamp that is worth every penny of its price.” - Review in UHF magazine.
