What’s in the store? (3.3.15)
One of the best things about working for this company is having lots of cool hi-fi gear to play with – and it changes all the time! So we thought we’d do the occasional run down of the type of things we have ready for us (and the public, of course!) to play with on the shop floor. The picture above is our current view, and here’s what it contains…
Speakers
ATC SCM11 Speakers (Ash)
Perfect for small to medium scale stereo applications, these stylish bookshelves feature a curved cabinet and a custom-designed tweeter and are available in three delightful finishes. One of our favourites to plug in when we really want to show off a system
Q Acoustic Concept 20 Speakers (White)
Pint-sized marvels! These class-leading bookshelves feature beautifully designed drivers and a crossover inside a beautifully lacquered Concept 20 cabinet, which utilises “Gelcore” construction specifically developed for acoustic enclosures. We usually have these on in the store for background music, they’re perfect for that!
Q Acoustics Q2020 Speakers (Black)
Since been replaced by the marvelous (and marginally improved) 2010is, we loved these speakers too much to say goodbye for good!
Top Shelf
SME Model 10 Turntable
One of the finest turntables we stock. It weighs 15kg and it’s designed to work as a ‘budget’ level SME. Its build integrity, sophisticated electronics and vibration free moving parts allow for a vinyl listening experience that can only be bested by a higher grade
Third Shelf
Arcam irDac
Featuring an infra-red remote control (hence the name) this is a DAC that comes packed with cutting edge technology that brings the performance of any digital source right up to the next level.
Arcam rBlink
A high-end Bluetooth DAC with built-in Bluetooth AptX – a two-in-one device that lets you turn your hi-fi into a streamer as well as providing that crucial maintenance on that digital soundwave.
Arcam MiniBlink
An Audio Affair system wouldn’t be right if it weren’t for our favourite little receiver. We have this plugged into our A39 amp most of the time, wirelessly streaming from our PCs.
Second Shelf
TriChord ‘Never Connected’ Power Supply
This is the ultimate power supply for the Trichord Diablo, and the perfect pairing for the highest-end turntable. It boasts high levels of clarity and control and really assists in isolation.
TriChord Diablo Phono Stage
A high end phono stage, designed to deliver the ultimate sonic transparency and realism – one of the finest and most flexible phono stages we have ever experienced. And not a bad price either!
Arcam FMJ A39
One of our favourite integrated amplifiers. With a class G amplifier, toroidal based power supply, acoustically damped chassis, paralleled transistor output stages and exceptionally low levels of distortion, this is an amp to be reckoned with!
Bottom Shelf
Arcam FMJ A19
The baby brother of the A39. It’s a little smaller and a little less powerful, but it sure is mighty! And like its odler brother it has a built in phono stage, so if you don’t want to go separate it’s a very good bet.
Speaker Stands
Partington Broadside Speaker Stands (Black)
British-made and beastly, these are some of the most stable and substantial stands on the market, and a step up from the award winning Dreadnaughts. Which are…
Partington Dreadnaught Speaker Stands (Silver)
Built using laser profiled panels, with 1 inner and 4 outer tubes, the Super Dreadnoughts offer excellent rigidity and vibration control. Partington are one of our most popular brands, and are a real favourite of the critics too.
Atacama Moseco 6 Speaker Stands (White)
These bad boys won the What Hi-Fi Award for Best Speaker Stand in 2014. Attractive, versatile and functional, these are speaker stands that boast an impressive array of attributes, without costing a fortune!
Rack
Atacama Evoque ECO 60-40 (Dark Finish)
This award winning rack comes in a range of finishes and is hugely adaptable. It offers huge benefits in terms of rigidity and isolation, and looks bloody lovely too. Can’t complain at that!
If you want to see (and hear!) this awesome set up for yourself, get in touch and we’ll tell you how that can be done. Or just swing by – we love vistors! It’s a fun shop and we like playing with the gear just as much as you. And for the record, we sell ex-demo items too!
