What is the key quality that all of our music systems have in common?
Performance? Value? Reliability? Ease of use?
It's all of these of course, but the systems that really excite us are the ones that make us want to listen to more music.
When hearing one album sparks you to listen to another.
There are so many options out there it can be daunting to choose between them.
We have the time and the opportunity to listen to the hundreds of different brands, and hundreds of different products.
During this process the ones that impress us most will find a home in our catalogue.
Our listening lounge is ready for you to experience music like never before.
Bring a favourite album or bring several, hear what magic is lying in those tracks that exude pure emotion.
From Headphones to Turntables, Speakers to Amplifiers we have the brands that matter.

The iPod changed the way people listen to music.
An entire music collection was suddenly available at the touch of a button, and for some that convenience is impossible to live without.
The problem is that storage space on portable devices is limited, so music files are compressed as MP3s, and quality suffers.
What sounds absolutely fine on a small pair of headphones or in the car is just not good enough for proper hi-fi.
We build systems that offer the same convenience as an iPod, but with full CD (or better) sound quality.
No audio compression = the full experience !
We can also show you what high definition 24- bit audio sounds like.
More and more music is becoming available in this format, and it really does sound fantastic.
As ever, there is an array of different options - our job is to make these choices easy and clearly explain how everything works.
These are the systems that our team all use at home - our experience in getting the most out of streaming audio is unrivalled.
It's easy to link rooms together to play the same music throughout your home
Everything is easily controlled from your smart phone or tablet.
Discovering new music, view sleeve notes, links to similar artists, album reviews - all of this is music streaming

We've gone full circle.
It seems like only yesterday that CD promised a lifetime of digital perfection, and people began moving their vinyl LPs to the loft.
Here we are thirty years later, and those same LP collections are finding their way out of hiding, and back into circulation.
People are looking for ways to get the most out of their collections. We have the answers!
Playing music from an LP is a different experience, and it's not just about the way it sounds.
The sleeves are bigger, there are better photos, better artwork, the lyrics are easier to read.
Skipping tracks is impractical, so you listen to the whole album as the artist intended.
You relax and you listen to the music!
Pick your favourite LP - that one you played over and over again, the one with your name hand- written on the label so it wouldn't get lost at parties
bring it in to our listening lounge, and let us astonish you with how it sounds on a modern deck.
