This new Universal player from Esoteric represents remarkable value for money.

Spectral Audio DMA-160
The new amplifier from Spectral offers remarkable precision and control in an affodable package.
A true improvement over the already superb DMA-150, this new amplifier has a smoother sound and projects a larger sound-stage than its predecessor. Very holographic, very transparent with fine details easily perceived. The high current delivery and ultra wide band width will ensure the very best sound is produced from any quality loudspeaker it is coupled with. DMA-160 £5950.

HRS Nimbus Damping
A completely new way of controlling chassis resonances.
These damping items are so effective in reducing unwanted resonances in all electonic items that the effect is as if you have just upgraded to a much higher level of equipment. Improved transparency, lower levels of distortion (you did not know you were listening to these distrotions anyway until you remove them), resulting in a more natural and more 3-dimensional sound. For a more detailed description of how they work and how to apply them, see the HRS section under the Stands and Accessories section. These items offer remarkable value in terms of the large sonic benefits they produce for what they cost. Nimbus couplers and spacer from £64 each; damping plates from £75 each; record weight £132.

The pre-amplifier has their new, unique volume control circuit which together with the pure Class A amplifier results in unprecedented levels of transparency and depth of soundstage. Customers who hear these items often asked if this is a valve amplifier design - which we are taking as a great compliment on their sound.

Peak Consult Incognito X
The sound from this two-way design has to heard to be believed.
The bass extention and the high level of transparency is way beyond what you would expect a simple design to be capable of delivering. Remakable phase coherence, fast and even repsonse right across the frequency range and they deliver large, 3-dimensional soundstages. Coupled with the correct ancilliary equipment, this speaker offers a perfomance level that would be expected at a much higher price. As with all Peak Consult loudspeakers, the cabinet workmanship and finish are amongst the best available. Incognito X £9750.
