640P PHONO PRE-AMP
The 640P phono pre-amplifier (sometimes known as a phono stage) also uses superior amplification circuitry for its MM and MC stages to provide the lowest possible distortion and noise. In addition, the flagship model employs multi-parallel capacitors to achieve exceptional RIAA accuracy of only 0.3dB up to 50kHz and features a defeatable subsonic filter.
 
     
 


Ortofon's MC Vivo Blue

loads at or near 100 ohms and has .5mv output. Excellent sound from any turntable, thanks to its excellent tracking from a nude elliptical diamond, mounted on an aluminum catilever. Smooth, detailed and dynamic sound at a great price.

Special 7-nines (99.9999% pure) copper wire manufactured in Japan.

Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
 
     
 
THE NEW CLEARAUDIO PERFORMANCE TURNTABLE

Clearaudio's most affordable turntable package featuring their new Ceramic Magnetic Bearing. The CMB magnetically levitates the 40mm acrylic platter for reduced friction, greater speed stability and additional isolation. The plinth is a composite construction of synthetic marble sandwiching a MDF core with aluminum banding. An outboard AC synchronous motor and Satisfy Carbon Fiber tonearm featuring magnetic anti-skating and 3 point ruby jewel bearings complete the package. Made in Germany and available in black or white finish.

The 2M technology
2M are designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today.

All of the 2M cartridges feature diamonds which are polished to the highest standards in the industry. The 2M Bronze features a nude Fine Line diamond stylus, which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information, making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally, its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.

MC Salsa
© 1998 Ortofon A/SMC Salsa have a tiny, nude Elliptical or Fine Line diamond, mounted on a very light and rigid cantilever. This results in low equivalent stylus tip mass and cantilever compliance on 14 and 15 μm/mN, which means that MC Salsa will give excellent results with virtually any tone arm. The armature has been designed as a tiny lightweight cross, and the coils are mounted at exactly 90 degree to each other (just like the walls of the record groove), which is improving the channel separation. The magnet and improved damping system has allowed its natural pivotal point to be placed immediately behind the armature, this is giving an extremely precise moving system. 

   
The Ortofon Super OM 10 Cartridges
OM Series- The new Super OM cartridges have been designed on the basis of Ortofon's lightweight moving magnet system - originally introduced in the OM (Optimum Match) Series - with two major refinements. By means of advanced computer simulation methods, it has been possible to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. This translates into improved linearity, higher channel separation, and reduced distortion.

In addition, Ortofon has succeeded in developing a technique by which to slit the less than 1 mm diameter hollow pole pins, thus significantly reducing eddy current losses caused by magnetic hysteresis. This sophisticated technology extends the frequency range and improves phase linearity. The cartridge body is manufactured from a Noryl plastic/glass combination, which ensures high rigidity, and freedom from resonances.

PHONOMENA II PHONO STAGE

The new Musical Surroundings Phonomena II Phono Stage from Michael Yee is a replacement for the award winning Phonomena. The Phonomena II is based on the existing Nova Phonomena but without the battery pack. The Phonomena II was introduced at the 2008 CES Show together with a Benz Micro SLR cartridge and the sound was magic!

Built in California, the Phonomena II is a phono stage with incredible flexibility and performance. Based on the discrete, circuit developed by designer Michael Yee for the Nova, the Phonomena II has rear panel accessible switches for gain and loading.

The Phonomena II is a complete phonograph preamplifier with RIAA equalization that amplifies the output signal of a phonograph cartridge, either moving-coil or moving-magnet, up to a nominal "line level". The Phonomena II may be used with a receiver or an integrated amplifier. If you use separate components, a line level control unit (preamplifier) is required before the power amp, since there is no independent volume control for the Phonomena II unit. The Phonomena II's power supply connects to the wall with the supplied wall-mount transformer.

 

 
    
 
 
Clearaudio Smartphono Phonostage

The Basic phonostage offers both MM and MC capabilities, with enough gain to drive the lowest output cartridges. It is a very simple unit to operate with a single button switching between MM and MC functionality. Another nice feature is it dedicated power transformer, which resides outside the actual phonostage to keep the audio circuit as quiet as possible. The Basic is available in both Black and Silver finish.

 
     
 
 


 

Solid Tech's - IsoClear

High-end performance made at affordable price. Our latest isolation feet that implements the documented and effective technology used in our sophisticated products now available at a price / performance ratio that outperforms most existing isolation devices
 
 
 
 

 

Disc Of Silence - Alu Finish

The criteria is to use an isolation medium that is as effective as possible, as close as possible to the apparatus, in order to avoid propagation of frame borne vibrations and resonances into the apparatus.

Iron Audio 

Iron Audio Acrylic Turntable Mat
Replace the stock mat of your turntable with the Iron Audio turntable mat and hear your turntable's level of musicality, detail and dynamics taken to the next level! A 4.76mm (3/16") thick high-quality acrylic and high-tech composite damping material provide the ultimate acoustic and mechanical interface, ideally matching the vinyl record. The turntable mat is CNC machined to the tightest tolerances. An elegant solid brass plate with the Iron Audio logo is featured in the centre and recessed to accommodate the record label.

 
Iron Audio Acrylic Platter
for NAD and Rega

The Iron Audio Acrylic Platter is the ultimate upgrade for Rega turntable owners. Replace the stock glass platter and hear the level of musicality, detail and dynamics increase!The perfectly balanced acrylic platter provides tighter, deeper and more accurate sound reproduction. The highs are cleaned up and resonances at higher frequencies are virtually eliminated. The high quality platter is CNC machined to the highest tolerances and finished with a frosted top and bottom with a clear polished edge. The Iron Audio logo is elegantly machined underneath.
