Record displays

     

Play and Display are the ultimate accessory for the lover of Lps. These superb picture frames allow you to display your favourite 12” record sleeves, and their clever hinged construction allows you to play or change the display record very easily. These are now available in either white or black and are sold singly or in packs of three.

Play and Display single pack (white or black): £39.00

Play and Display triple pack (white or black: £99.00

7” single Adaptor

 

Rega have produced this wonderfully turned aluminium adaptor to fit 45rpm singles that have had their centres pushed out. Suitable for use on almost all turntables: £15.00

Turntable Setup Tools

-The Cartridge Man/Hifi News test LP Invaluable tool for anyone who is serious about setting their turntable up correctly. The LP has various test tones starting with the basics such as channel identification and phasing through to tracking tests, resonance and bias/anti-skate tests. Also includes a good quality alignment protractor suitable for almost all tonearms (including parallel trackers): £25.  

-Cardas  frequency sweep and burn in Record

The ‘Sweeper’ includes frequency sweeps that are claimed to ultrasonically clean the cartridge stylus and degauss the entire system. The burn in sections feature locked grooves, so speeding up cartridge running in very effectively: £28.00

 

-Mobile Fidelity Geo Disc 3D Alignment protractor, a hard wearing and easy to use 12” plastic disc that makes cartridge alignment a doddle: £44.95  

Touchscreen digital stylus balance

This is a very well made and accurate set of digital scales, which are much larger than most. The body is a robust metal housing which weighs 160gm with the supplied batteries (so a very similar weight to the average LP, making it perfect for use even on very softly spring turntables - like Pink Triangles for example), and it is suitable for tracking forces of up to 5gm, and with a displayed resolution of just 0.001gm.

It has a well backlit touch screen display and is very simple to use, with a decently large contact area for the stylus to sit on. It comes in a sturdy box (pictured below) and includes a calibration weight.

Digital touch screen stylus balance: £85.00

Roksan Electronic Stylus balance

  

A small light and easy to carry design, the Roksan stylus balance is accurate (reads in 0.001g steps) and has a range of up to 5 gramme’s maximum tracking force. Comes with soft carry case as pictured above.

Roksan Electronic Stylus Balance £110.00

-Project Strobe it strobe disc with 33.3, 45 and 78 speeds, also comes with a handy alignment protractor printed on the reverse: £25.00

-Martin Bastin Strobe Disc and Zapper, a highly accurate way to check your turntables speed accuracy. Because the Zapper is independent from the mains its a far more accurate way to illuminate the strobe markings than a mains powered light: £50 (requires 2 x AA batteries not included).

-Clearaudio Break in LP useful for ensuring you get the best performance out of any new cartridge in the fastest time possible. This record has a locked groove with pink noise to really loosen up a fresh cartridge : £55

Sumiko  HS-12 Universal headshell

High quality copper litz wires included with gold plated cartridge tags. The azimuth can easily be adjusted if required too. Weighs 11-13gm (the latter with finger lift fitted).

   

-Sumiko  HS-12 Universal headshell: £39.00

Michell Engineering cartridge tags

The Michell cartridge pin kit features very high quality silver plated cartridge tags and coloured heatshrink. They are an expanding design so they fit most cartridge pins without needing to be adjusted with pliers(so are much less likely to get broken off during this fiddly job). I fit these to almost all our demonstration tonearms as they make cartridge swapping much easier!

-Michell Cartridge Pin Kit: £13.50

Tonearm plugs

            

     

I spent ages trying to find tonearm plugs that were a worthwhile improvement over the standard SME ones and with the Atlas plugs shown here I feel I’ve finally achieved it. They are available in either straight output or right angled cable exit, so should suit almost any deck. They’re beautifully turned, highly gold plated, PTFE insulated and will accept cables up to 6mm diameter (per channel). The top two pictures show the right angled exit , the two lower images show the straight exit version.

-Atlas straight exit tonearm plug: £35.00

-Atlas Right angled exit tonearm plug £35.00
