Brands

Built to order in Kilmarnock, so a 2.7 metre run with one end changed is routine rather than a special request. Pure copper throughout, which tends to settle a bright system rather than sharpen it

The broadest range we carry by some distance, from an affordable HDMI cable up to serious high end. The brand to start with if you want one name covering an entire system.

Where Naim owners end up, because the DIN cables most makers skip are standard here. Hand-built in Wiltshire, with the insulation material and conductor geometry both developed in-house.

Not cables. IsoTek filter each socket independently so your amplifier and streamer cannot pollute each other through the block. The answer when the system is good but the noise floor is holding it back.

The top end of what we sell, and the brand behind our burn-in service: every eligible cable we ship is conditioned on a Nordost Vidar in our own workshop.

The oldest brand we stock and the name most vinyl listeners already trust. Cartridges spanning a first serious upgrade through to genuine high end, still made in Denmark.

Where most good systems begin. Award-winning at prices that do not need a long think, and unusually open about publishing the research behind each design.

Power delivery taken further than anyone else we carry. The same engineering goes into equipment for cardiac catheterisation labs, where noise reduction has to be measured rather than described.

Designed around a single stated goal: reducing phase distortion. They publish almost nothing about construction and ask to be judged on listening instead, which customers consistently do in their favour.

Flat conductor geometry that genuinely differs from the round cables everyone else builds. David Salz designed a comparator to measure cables against a direct connection, and the ranges came out of what it showed.
