Basis AJ Conti Transcendence Turntable with SuperArm 9 or SuperArm 12.5
We are indeed fortunate to be living in the Golden Age of analog. And nothing epitomizes this more than the Transcendence with either the SuperArm 9 or the SuperArm 12.5 playing your treasured records! Usually the Transcendence is configured with either a single tonearm or dual arms. For example, the reason that some people choose a dual arm setup is to have one dedicated arm for a stereo cartridge and the other for a mono cartridge. In fact you can use either the SupeArm 9 and/or the SuperArm 12.5 in various configurations up to a maximum of four tonearms on a turntable. Now that we have it set up for demonstration in the store and have listened to it extensively, we have to say that this is one amazing sounding turntable! Rather than being just another really good sounding turntable/tonearm combo, this is something very special. It is much more reminiscent of listening to a recording as opposed to listening to a record--and that distinction is really the highest level of praise possible of an analog front end. You are cordially invited to bring in your favorite vinyl and hear it for yourself. Prepare to be utterly amazed! More Info
Avalon Precision Monitors PM1 / PM2 / PM3.2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers
These may be small but they pack a surprising punch. The heart of any speaker is the midrange--and these speakers certainly excel in that department.

Inside they are built with new high performance drivers which are mounted in all new constrained-layer damped cabinets utilizing four different composite materials.

The woodworking here is done to a high level of craftsmanship, so if you have a fine home these will fit right in. Available in your choice of woods including birdseye maple, curly cherry, walnut, etc. Other finishes include Polychrome Light and Polychrome Dark which go well in a more modern decor. In addition there is the option of either a satin or high gloss finish. Speakers are of course the most personal taste choice of any component.
