I have two brand new, unopened Soulines Kubrick DCX turntables available at a very special price. Normally retailing for £2995, these two turntables are offered for just £1795 including VAT and UK...

Alternatively, for much less than £10 on Amazon/eBay I recommend a simple click counter - hit the lever for each side played and you can then calculate cumulative playing time with accuracy as close...

Blimey - that's quite a beast!

I've not heard any old Denon direct drive turntables, but your description of its sound character does tally with that of my old Kenwood KD-990 which does play music rather like a top-end Nottingham...

I have a few items of used equipment for sale at Ammonite Audio:

Naim DAC-V1
SME 3009 Series II Tonearm
Quad 44, FM4 and 405-2

See full details here...

A bit like pop-up headlights on cars. We don't need them, but we do want them!

I've re-stocked the Ammonite Audio shop with Ortofon SPU cartridges, so the most popular models are available for next day UK delivery.

I now have the Zavfino 1877Phono Gold Rush cable in stock at Ammonite Audio https://ammonite-audio.co.uk/product/zavfino-1877phono-gold-rush-tonearm-cable/

This cable has an interesting mix of...

Glanz has announced updated tonearms, to replace the existing S Series tonearm range for 2021. The main and most obvious change is with the counterweight, which is now a more complex design that...

I have been completely beguiled by the Denafrips Ares II DAC, which I bought at the end of last year from Willowtree Audio. Denafrips seemingly make reasonably priced DACs for people who value tonal...

I'd certainly recommend keeping the Phasemation PP-200 on your list. Phasemation cartridges offer an unusually spacious and refined sound character, with low surface noise and MM-like tracking...

Ortofon have announced increased prices with effect from 1 April 2021. Our existing shop stocks and new orders up to 31 March 2021 are not affected by the price increases.

There's a very positive review in the latest HFN (which dropped through the letterbox today) by Adam. It does look like a great product, at a fair price. One thing puzzles and irritates me, though...

My Nuova Simonelli Oscar II espresso machine is up for sale - see https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?72189-Nuova-Simonelli-Oscar-II-Espresso-Machine-for-Sale . Marco suggested flagging...

Marco has kindly allowed me to list my Nuova Simonelli Oscar II espresso machine here in Abstract Chat.

Some of you may have seen in The Coffee House that I have bought a new Lelit Bianca espresso...

Here's a shot I pulled earlier today

Cost? See here https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/lelit-bianca-dual-boiler-paddle-pl162t.html . Not cheap, but some £400 less than the closest dual boiler machine from Rocket, and half the price of the...

It certainly is! You do sometimes get what you pay for, and this machine is fantastic.

I treated myself to a new Lelit Bianca espresso machine! Marco, please note that it's 'Lelit' and not 'Lilet'! It weighs a ton, is beautifully made, and is rather good, pictured here with a Eureka...

It's not a simple matter, since the required anti-skate force does depend on a whole load of variables, and the 'best' setting is always going to represent the 'best compromise' and not an absolute...

Michael Fremer has reviewed the Phasemation PP-2000 in Stereophile magazine https://www.stereophile.com/content/analog-corner-306-phasemation-ds-audio-audio-research-clarus

We now have the new GrooveMaster tonearm rest clip in stock at Ammonite Audio, and available for existing owners of all GrooveMaster variants, including Timestep. It's an easy DIY fit - you simply...

A second hand Beyerdynamic A2 would be my recommendation - I've had one for years, used with various 'phones and it's a sublime sounding thing, with real musical poise.

You have to hear them to understand. Just astonishing. Hearing a pair of these (not David's) has kindled an interest in old Altecs, from which the Maxonics clearly take some inspiration. Anyway,...

Phasemation's new entry-level PP-200 stereo moving coil cartridge, and DG-100 cartridge/SUT degausser are now in stock and available from Ammonite Audio, with free UK shipping.

The PP-200 costs...
