Thanks to everyone who attended our Rega Music Event & Turntable Clinic last Thursday.
Star of the show was undoubtedly a 1973 vintage Planet turntable brought in for a service and all it needed was a new belt!! The Isis/Osiris Reference system was sounding pretty damn good in the main demo room too.
The prize draw for a Rega P3-24 turntable was won by Mr Siree.
Thanks to Paul & Simon from Rega for their time and efforts over the course of the day and we're already looking forward to the next time.

The Isis CD Player and Osiris Amplifier are the latest Reference Series products to appear from Rega Research.
Each of them is hewn from solid aluminium, supplied in a wooden crate complete with a high spec. screened power cable, a metal version of the Rega system remote control, a pair of white gloves and is wrapped in an Egyptian cotton “pillow case”. Their combined weight is a hefty 44kg … and that excludes the packaging.
The Isis CD player crate also includes a "Couple" interconnect. The CD player has both RCA and XLR balanced analogue outputs, SPDIF and optical digital outputs and a USB input port for PC based music replay.
The Osiris amplifier is a dual mono design rated at 160W into 8ohms, with 6 line level inputs plus a seventh “Direct” input (for connecting an AV processor). Both RCA single ended and XLR balanced inputs are available.
The combined package has the ability to play music like no other two box "integrated" combination we have heard before. We have both the Isis and Osiris available for demonstration. Hearing is believing.
SRP : Isis £5998 / Osiris £5998 / Both together £11000

Thank you to everyone who visited our Naim Summer Sounds event last Friday.
The Ovator S600 loudspeakers certainly proved to be the main talking point, with the new DAC offering a taste of the future. The NaimUniti and the new version of the CDX2 were also on demo and gained plenty of interest too.
A big thank you to Mark from Naim for all his hard work and assistance during the day, especially impressive as this was his fourth Summer Sounds event that week.

We are pleased to say that our HDX Hard Disk Player has arrived.

Without question, the HDX is a key product for the future and is going to take the audio server market by storm.
