About Vertex AQ

The award winning Vertex AQ range offers the most revolutionary and comprehensive suite of easily implemented (and easily audible!) improvements available for any hi-fi today. We think that in the near future running a Vertex free system will be viewed as being as crazy as trying to listen to your CD player with no silver disc in the drawer!
And, for £295, a Jaya mains filter represents much more than a first step on the ladder - in fact it gives you a real taste of what the Vertex approach is really all about: key improvements include better sound-staging and timing, as well as bags more detail, but, more than anything, just an overall sense of rightness kicks in and you find yourself listening longer and better.

In issue 48 of Hi-Fi Plus, Alan Sircom, (a well known accessories sceptic) wrote the following:
“Vertex AQ is not like any normal improvement in hi-fi upgrades; it’s more subtle and more profound at the same time… the change is so musically significant that once the kit is in place there is no going back. It is as fundamental to the sound of the system as the system itself. Oh my!”

So, if you love music -and remember that’s why we got into this hi-fi lark in the first place- you really do owe it to yourself to give Vertex AQ a try. And we suggest you do it sooner rather than later, because the upgrade in sheer musical expression and involvement isn’t subtle, it’s fundamental.

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..
