PSI Active Bass Traps installed in our Reference room
And boy do they work!
We recently installed two PSI Audio AVAA active bass traps in our main reference room with great results. We are now achieving a more “controlled” or “easier to listen to” presentation. The results are that we can enjoy music without listening fatigue and greater accuracy. Low frequencies particularly, when uncontrolled, can mask other sounds and frequencies. So the entire range of frequencies is improved upon.
With a flick of a button, or click on the mobile app, we are able to switch them off and back on in a demo, so our customers can hear for themselves.
Here’s what some of the industries’ reviewers had to say:
“Listening to a wide variety of music, with special emphasis on bass test tracks, I again felt the AVAAs C214 made an immediately noticeable difference. The more important point was that the difference was always an improvement. With the AVAAs, bass was better balanced and more natural. This naturalness shows up with bass sounding more open and detailed, with a more accurate sense of air and harmonic definition.”
Tom Martin The Absolute Sound
“These really work!
When I switched in the AVAA traps, space expanded in all dimensions. The crowd was still raucous, but now it was mostly behind me and to my sides. The performers, still up front, were now spread wider than my room, and their individual contributions (voices, guitar, drums) were distinct and full. Finally, I was able to experience the electricity of this event fully and appreciate Seigén Ono’s reputation.”

Clearaudio’s new entry-level Catridge is here
We have received the first stock of the new entry-level MM Cartridge from Clearaudio - the N1. Available in both Black and Silver. It is great to be able to get a Clearaudio cartridge at the price point of €99.
From Clearaudio:
Clearaudio sets a new benchmark in the entry-level MM cartridge class – streamlined to the essentials, yet uncompromising in sound quality, craftsmanship, and choice of materials. A cartridge that delivers sonic performance far beyond its price category.
The newly designed, anodized aluminum housing serves as a highly rigid structural frame and offers an ideally balanced total weight of just 12.6 grams. This makes it perfectly suited for both light and heavy tonearms – and an ideal match for the Clearaudio compass turntable.
Available in classic black or elegant silver, it visually complements a wide range of tonearms and turntables.
A standout feature is the innovative quick-swap stylus system, which allows for hassle-free replacement – even while the cartridge remains mounted. Ideal for unexpected accidents or routine maintenance.
Welcome to Clearaudio’s new compact class of MM cartridges – sonically captivating, technically refined, and exceptionally accessible.

Fresh from the Press Release:
QUAD’s finest-ever integrated amplifier
Five years in the making, QUAD is finally ready to launch its most accomplished range of audio
electronics yet: the Platina Series, hi-fi’s new gold standard, with the Platina Integrated at its heart
Cambridgeshire, England -- Of all the British high-end hi-fi brands, QUAD (an acronym for Quality Unit
Amplifier Domestic) boasts the most distinguished of histories. Across the decades, the company has
delivered many innovations leading to products considered to be the best of their time – valve
amplifiers, electrostatic and dynamic loudspeakers, and solid-state electronics that took nascent
transistor technology and elevated it to new sonic heights.
Since QUAD’s first transistor-based stereo amplifier – the iconic 33/303 pre/power amp, introduced in
1967 – the company has revised and updated its solid-state audio electronics across successive
generations, continuing to innovate whilst carefully maintaining ‘QUAD DNA’. All of which has led to
this: the Platina Integrated, QUAD’s finest integrated amplifier yet.
The culmination of a five-year R&D project, the Platina Series is QUAD’s new flagship range of audio
electronics. Visitors to international audio shows since 2023 may have had the opportunity to
experience prototypes of the Platina Integrated, but the amp was still in development (alongside other
Platina components) and QUAD did not want to put it into production until the design was perfected.
Now, the Platina Integrated is ready to launch, alongside a matching network player called Platina
Stream. A third component – a CD transport – will join the range in 2026.
