I'm pleased to announce that Ammonite Audio is now retailing products from Townshend Audio, Black Rhodium and Oyaide in the webshop http://ammonite-acoustics.co.uk/home/shop/

To start with, we are offering Tonwshend Seismic Pods, which are individual sprung and damped isolation supports. I tried these during the Whittlebury Show under the turntable platform and the degree of isolation was total. Very impressive indeed, and priced sanely at £99 each for the most popular load ranges. In due course, we will be offering the Seismic Platforms too.

the Black Rhodium Stylus tonearm cable is a really rather good cable that works well with Jelcos and any other arm with a DIN plug at the base. It's low capacitance at 85pF per meter, so definitely recommended for use with MM cartridges, but it does bring the best out of a good MC too. Price is £350 for 1.3m (custom lengths are available).

Oyaide carbon fibre headshells are easily the best that I've used with Jelco arms. They are not exactly cheap (£150 for the HS-CF copper version) but the lift in performance over the standard Jelco headshell is enormous.

Needless to say, if anyone wishes to buy a new Jelco tonearm bundled with the Stylus cable and Oyaide headshell, I will discount the tonearm to make a very attractive overall package. Please call, e-mail or PM to discuss.
