We now have the Arcam SA20 Integrated Amplifier and the Arcam CDS50 CD/SACD Network Player from Arcam’s HDA product range. The SA20 Integrated Amplifier is a Class G amplifier running at 90watts per channel. What is Class G? Class G is essentially a hybrid amplifier, utilising Class A specifically for low-level signals, but when required switching in an additional power supply to power those larger sections of the waveform. It also has 5 analog inputs (including a phono), 3 digital inputs, a built in 32-bit Sabre ESS9038K2M DAC. Want to add a disc/network player to the mix? Look to the new CDS50. It plays CDs and SACDs, and also is a network player, supporting audio file formats including FLAC, WAV, AIFF, OGG, MP3, AAC and WMA.

We’re proud to have the latest Cambridge Audio AX series of components, featuring the AXC35 CD Player, the AXR35 35-watt Integrated Amplifier, the AXR85 85-watt Integrated Amplifier, and the AXR100 100-watt Integrated Amplifier. We also just got in the sweet sounding Cambridge Audio CX A81 Integrated Amplifier, a new unit that has been redesigned from the ground up. New better components, DAC, etc., providing a warmer and richer sound, with all of the greatest features like new Bluetooth, Roon, etc. We still can’t believe just how great this sounds at this price point. We also have the matching CXC CD Transport. Read the latest review here.

We have the brand new Cambridge Audio AX series in stock and ready to audition, including the AXA35 and the AXC35. We also have the new Cambridge Audio TT Alva turntable is a direct drive table that also packs a built-in bluetooth APTX HD unit that… (wait for it)… actually sounds really amazing! (Bluetooth? yes. Bluetooth). Imagine streaming great vinyl to your phone to listen through good headphones. It comes with a pre-installed high output MC Cartridge. The AXA35 is an Integrated Amplifier with built-in MM phono-stage, has 35 watts per channel, a display screen, and a 1/4″ headphone jack. The AXC34 CD Player has gapless playback, a quality DAC, that can read standard CDs, as well as discs with MP3s and WMA files. These Cambridge products have the usual great build value that Cambridge has become known for.

Naim Audio makes hard disks sexy! Ok, no… not in the way you think. But it’s true, that it’s what’s inside that counts (not that the case work is not Naim Audio level quality. It is.). And we don’t necessarily mean the actual ‘guts’ (although those are very nice as well), but… it’s how it performs. We know that many of you have been sitting on the sidelines of the digital music file front, waiting for the best solution to serve up your music without a lot of hassle. Well, that day has finally arrived. Enter the Naim Audio Uniti Core Reference Hard-Disk Server. Forget all of the computer complications, Naim Audio has you covered.

We have several new Naim Audio pieces in that are on our floor and ready for audition. A new streamer (ND5 XS), a new preamplifier (NAC-N XS), and one of Naim’s more affordable separate amplifiers (NAP 200) to compliment these pieces. First up, the new Naim ND5 XS, this is the ‘junior’ model to the well reviewed NDX. While in a slimmer case, this is hardly a ‘stripped down version,’ it can do almost all that it’s big brother does, all with the same sonic prowess. It can be used at the core of your home audio network in both a wired or streaming scenario. It handles all lossy files and high resolution files up to 24/192, as well as being able to stream internet radio stations. You can connect your CD player, USB sticks, and computer, and it can integrate easily with the Naim DAC or any connected Naim CD player, Preamplifier or an optional FM tuner radio module. (more…)

We recently got the new Marantz M-CR603 Receiver in, and we’re still finding out new things that it can do. It’s even AirPlay compatible with a system update.

It will play CDs, CD-Rs, MP3s and WMAs. It’s also able to network via Ethernet using DLNA. It streams Pandora, Rhapsody and Napster, all while driving up to four speakers. Come in to find out all that this overachiever can do! Read the review.

We really enjoyed hooking up with several of our favorite distributors and brands. (more…)
