Sounds of Music and AudiaZ at the London Hi-Fidelity Show(left: john jeffries / right: John Samson)
For show visitors there was a real treat in the SOM/AudiaZ room - a chance to hear very special products from AudiaZ, Tenor Audio and NoSpikes for the first time. All who visited us agree that the system we choose sounded wonderful and as we always tell customers - it will sound even better in your own home.
As we predicted, the NoSpikes sold out very quickly, but fortunately we ordered a big batch, which are now in stock.
Remember that you can book a demonstration to hear the above system or a wide-range of others by just picking up the phone and calling us.
Awarded 4/5 stars
Its clear that reviewer Jason Kennedy enjoyed the Lumley Heliosphere as much as the many customers who have purchased it and are truly delighted! Here are a few extracts from what Jason said in his review of the Heliosphere:
" The turntable digs out the bass pedals to trouser flapping effect, but there is plenty of body to the sound and no shortange of energy. "
" With its massive acetal platter this is a distinctive-looking turntable with a distinctive sound, one that reflects the vinyl you spin on it with a little bit of extra thrill power thrown in. A combination that, in our book, makes for top entertainment. "
Heliosphere Price: £from £2,495

Handbuilt in Italy, the MasterSound Reference Eveolution Integrated dual mono amplifier delivers a whopping 55wpc. This may not sound a lot in comparison to a solid-state amplifier, but you will be surprised and delighted at just how well the Evolution drives loudspeakers.
Using 4 x 845 Valves in parallel single-ended configuration and no feedback, the Reference Evolution will bring any system to life, delivering hours of the most beautiful music reproduction that you would normally find in products costing 5 times as much!
Book an audition at Sounds of Music to hear this stunning product. We think it will become one of the most exciting valve products to appear in 2009.... call John Jeffries to find out more.
