Audiophile LPs - Cardas
We are passionate about music and specialise in real hi-fi because getting the very best sound quality is all about enjoying the music more. We sell a carefully selected range of vinyl, most of which are heavyweight 180g "audiophile" LPs, each designed to be the definitive release of the album. We also sell a comprehensive range of turntables and vinyl accessories.
Despite the popularity of digital audio and the Compact Disc (CD), Vinyl Records have remained incredibly popular with hi-fi enthusiasts, and while sales of CDs have plummeted since digital downloads became prevalent, Vinyl Records have become even more popular, with sales the highest they have been in many years.
The reasons why Vinyl Records and the analogue format are favoured by enthusiasts is on the whole anecdotal and subjective. However, vinyl enthusiasts argue that their format is more musical and offers more “warmth” and dynamic expression than CDs and digital audio in general. We offer a range of high quality audiophile vinyl records pressed on 180g or 200g vinyl.
The Cardas Frequency Sweep and Burn-in Record is a unique tuning tool for system set-up, diagnostics and maintenance. It was produced by George Cardas and mastered by Stan Ricker. In addition to the standard tones, this LP includes other checks that ultrasonically clean the cartridge stylus and degauss the entire system.
