Rega Apollo R
Rega's latest take on the CD medium is a smart little gem of a product that matches the style and dimensions of the Brio R amplifier and the highly acclaimed DAC. From February, there will be some pricing changes and product deletions. We have the new February prices in our dowloads section. We still have some limited stocks of the now - deleted MC Fono stage too.
the Neat Iota
We heard these at the Bristol HiFi show on the end of a Naim SuperUniti and were suitably impressed.
Genuinely musical, engaging full range loudspeakers in ridiculously tiny boxes. Now on dem . . . come on by.

Naim XP 5 XS - a name too far?
Finally, I am struggling to keep a grip. Excellent product, XS sized XPS for that is a physical match for the ND5XS and DAC but the name has me flummoxed every time I try to say it. Sounds great, proper upgrade as per.. but couldn't they have called it something else?
Magneplanar
New arrivals are the £1500 MG12 and £2500 MG 1.7 two way quasi-ribbon loudspeakers.They need a fair bit of power to drive them (although the new superuniti seems to have the required urge) and the bass can be a little soft. However, their positive attributes are pretty devastating at any price. More
PMC twenty
The new twenty series from PMC comprises two stand-mounts and two floor-standers. As with the facts, the grilles are attached via hidden magnets and cover the entire face of the speaker. The good news is that they sound even better than they look. More
And we wrote the book.

Let's aim for succinct: We are a small quality audio and home cinema dealership with a surprisingly large reputation. Based near Ipswich (Suffolk, UK). Slightly old-fashioned values, been going quite a while. People generally seem to come back. Although it might be for the comedic value. More.
OK, yes it's good!
With a few LP12s about the place, It's probably time we started mentioning our involvement with the iconic Scottish turntable. We've done Radikal, Keel, Trampolin, Urika, Ekos SE. Tis all here and ready to impress. It's rather magical with the stage above too, by the way.
no interest
Much as I know we should not encourage such things, with price inflation very much evident, bringing forward purchases with interest - free finance could actually make economic sense. More
A pair of speakers that I was beginning to doubt we would ever see. We played with some pre-production Super Tens at our Summer Bash around three years ago. But these special uprated versions of the lovely Kudos C10 have been on an extremely slow burner.
Our pair must have been the very first off the line with a serial number of 12001 and they are in blond zebrano. Think bland pale oak with grain lines hand drawn with black pen and you have the look. It will doubtless prove to be a marmite choice but there are several alternative veneers and I rather like them.
And the sound? Only a few hours in and they are very good indeed. . . More 'fleshed out' than the standard 10, more resolution and a level of refinement akin to that offered by the Titans. Joy of joys, they remain musical and engaging. As part of the run-in we have sampled the very enjoyable pairing of the S10s with the Linn Akurate DSM and Akurate power.
More - just scroll through when you get there.
Joining our portfolio of products is Audioplan (from Germany).
The novel Kantata captured our attention with some rather appealing sonic qualities allied to a rather funky look. Ours are in grey nextel with natural olive wood on matching nextel painted alumininum stands and they are the latest candidates for run-in.
Audioplan have been going for around 30 years and the Kantata replaces the highly regarded Kontrapunkt. Their approach dovetails nicely with the Naim and Nottingham ethos of lossy structures. 'Let the wires hang freely, don't fix the speaker to the stand, merely locate it', that kind of thing.
Set up and mounted on their 'antispikes', running these in will not be any kind of chore. We knew they suited the Linn Akurate combo but had forgotten how much! In fact on current playing, these are becoming our Linn electronics partner of choice.
More soon.
