High-Resolution Audio Audiolab M-OneVisually, the M-ONE is almost identical to the M-DAC+; Audiolab’s flagship DAC component. It sports the same compact aluminium case, small enough to sit unobtrusively on a desk, table or shelf, with the same central OLED display and elegant dual rotary controls. But while standalone DACs need a separate power amp to drive a pair of speakers, the M-ONE packs high quality stereo power amplification, as well as a preamp facilities for analogue and digital sources, into its diminutive chassis.

"A brilliant-sounding speaker with a neat design that also became an Award-winner, ending the two-year reign of the Q Acoustic 2020is. It’s going to be tough knocking the
Diamonds off their perch!" https://www.whathifi.com/wharfedale/diamond-220/review
The AMPLIFIER: Audiolab 8200a The original Audiolab 8000A integrated amp was a landmark product when it was introduced in the early 1980s. It single-handedly established the Audiolab brand, and set new standards in build, features and sound quality at the time. There’s something reassuringly familiar about the new 8200A, too: It mirrors the original’s clean-cut functional appearance and retains a fair chunk of its electronic engineering principles.

Official Conrad Johnson Sole official importer, exclusive distributor and dealers of CJ gear | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
In the mid-seventies, two economists, friends and serious audiophiles - Dr. William Conrad and Dr. Lewis Johnson - were highly dissatisfied with the commercially available equipment of the time and were also perplexed and challenged by the readily apparent sonic differences among components in their own systems. What made these two classic tube systems sound so different? Could the virtues of each be somehow combined? Not content to merely speculate on such issues, conrad and johnson decided to systematically investigate by developing and refining a vacuum-tube preamplifier.
It has come to our attention that certain third parties have been offering "Conrad Johnson" products in Australia. These products are NOT official and are often imported from overseas markets. As such they will not provide you with the optimal user experience that a specifically manufactured local version of the product will.
We, Caxton Audio in Brisbane and Sound Reference in Melbourne, are the Sole official importers, exclusive distributor and dealers of CJ gear (Since 2004) in Australia. To get the official export model made exclusively for Australia (CJ specifically print "Export Model" on the box so it is easy for a customer to be aware) give us a call today - don't get caught out with a cheap knock off or potentially tampered with gray import by going to a "back alley" dealer! |

Wharfedale Diamond 200 series Quite simply put, the Wharfedale Diamond is one of our most successful speaker series, if not one of the most successful hi-fi speaker series ever. We can justify this as year on year, the Diamond Series has broke the mould for combining award winning sound quality unforeseen at this price. From 1982 Wharfedale Diamond has meant one thing – impeccable performance at an affordable price. Today we are pleased to bring you the latest series of loudspeakers from Wharfedale that aspires to this tradition – Diamond 200 Series. Foremost in the design criteria for Diamond 200 is the ongoing research into loudspeaker driver sound quality. The speaker series uses our famous woven Kevlar cone form, drawing influence from the flagship Jade Series. While honing the internal crossover and using stronger magnets on the rear of the Diamond 220 for example, aesthetics and construction have been improved too. The Diamond 200 Series benefits from an all new lacquered front baffle and cosmetically enhanced veneers. Only when the acousting tests are deemed truly satisfying are the loudspeakers designs signed-off for production, ensuring that each speaker model fulfils its eventual owner's dreams of musically enjoyable reproduction from Britain's Most Famous Loudspeakers.

Introducing NEAT Speakers - The IOTA |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
The IOTA delivers a spectacular audio performance from an impossibly small cabinet, specifically intended for use very close to walls, or in locations such as bookshelves, desktops etc., where a regular sized compact/bookshelf design may be too large. The main drive unit is a 100mm PP cone with a powerful, low-distortion ferrite magnet system, coupled to a finite element analysis-designed suspension system. The tweeter is a 50mm vertical planar magnetic ‘ribbon’ device. The choice of tweeter is critical, because the tweeter lends the whole speaker its essential character and integrity. In this context, the tweeter’s strengths of superb dynamic contrast and accurate tonal colour are well matched to those of the main drive unit.

The Quad 11Ls have picked up more than their fair share of awards. This new compact system builds on their strengths with a sound that will please those wanting the full surround sound experience without either filling the room with huge speakers or going for one of the more eye-catching 'designer' packages, and will amaze those who believe there's no substitute for big speakers when a fullscale sound is called for. Listen to them with some powerful home-cinema amplification — one of the current crop of over-achieving integrated receivers would do very nicely — and you could be convinced that you were enjoying much larger loudspeaker

Digital Master Tapes available: Crown Imperial, Hot Club of San Fransico Rachmaninoff, The Tempest Exotic Dancers of the Opera From Reference Recordings: Starting with analog tapes we weren't’t satisfied with early technology, 16 bit digital recordings, but soon began making HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) recordings, in which the process was co-designed by our own recording guru Keith O. Johnson. In the opinion of many, these are probably the best digital recordings ever. Currently we record at 176.4 kHz/ 24 bits, with HDCD, and that is what we put on our HRx discs. Like any quality recording company, we have long been frustrated by the limitations of consumer formats: LP, CD, SACD, DVD-A, etc. No one but our recording and mastering team could hear the full beauty of our recordings! |
