Simon Yorke S7
The Series 7 turntable was designed as a professional transcription
unit, to provide the highest possible levels of audio performance from
an elegantly simple, dependable and user-friendly unit by using a minimum
number of very high quality precision engineered parts. The S7 system
was designed for both dedicated audiophiles and professional users. It
is easy to set up and use, refreshingly practical and forthright. Seriously
engineered for music. Zen.
The turntable is supplied with a record mat fabricated from pure graphite,
though other materials may be substituted to provide an alternative acoustic
impedance to the disc in play. A record clamp is also supplied. The module,
or turntable chassis, is a massive stainless steel disc into which the
turntable bearing is built, and onto which the armboard is affixed.
The a.c. motor drive system delivers speeds of 33.3, 45 & 78 rpm,
driving the platter via a compliant belt and precision transfer bearing
system (a version of the turntable may be supplied without the intermediate
transfer bearing assembly, thereby providing just one fixed speed of
33.3 rpm).
Armboards can be supplied pre-cut for mounting most well-known tonearms,
and are easily interchanged. Armboards suitable for 12" tonearms
or for simultaneously mounting and operating multiple tonearms can also
be supplied.

Mark
Levinson 326S Baby version of the Ref 32 Pre-amp at a reasonable
cost of £6,995. Like most technologies the benefits of
the research for the reference products trickle down into more
affordable products like the 326s Pre-amp. You get alot of the
quality of its bigger brother, providing a jump in the quality
available at this price. |
Ayre Acoustics C-5xe
Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought
to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory.
I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just
how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio
components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded
me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of
musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes
Phillips, July, 2005 |
Gryphon
Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100.
The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case,
you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame,
pure music at its best. |
Brinkmann
LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without
a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance
to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level
of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never
heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback |
Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe
Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music
playback short of the dCS trio reviewed
by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the
dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric
is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced
technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even
play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract |
ProAc D100 The
imposing new Response D100 takes on the mantle of flagship model
from our legendary Response Four, which has delighted discerning
audiophiles for the last twelve years.
The D100's produce stunning music, effortlessly. The enhanced sensitivity
extracts the tiniest detail from any recording without brightness
or exaggeration. Greater bandwidth creates a huge soundstage, drawing
in the listener and creating a concert hall experience, where the
loudspeakers seem to melt from the scene.. |
