• Tone-Arm Cables

  The tone-arm cable is an integral link in the vinyl replay chain. Too often poor cable and connectors are provided with the new tone-arm, compromising replay quality. We only stock tone-arm cables that we have heard and used ourselves. These cables, from Furutech and Oyaide, are engineered to out-perform competing products; and we have yet to hear anything better. The Mains Cables R Us reference Technics SL1210 uses an SME 309 tone-arm with Oyaide PA-2075 tone-arm cable. A wonderful sounding cable at any price.

• Turntable Mats & Weights

  Vinyl is dead, long live vinyl! The basic principles of turntable construction have remained roughly the same since the arrival of the Garrard 301 and 401 in the 1960s. Idler-drive, belt-drive or direct-drive, all have a place in the modern hi-fi system: but what has changed fundamentally is the turntable mat. From a simple piece of commercial rubber or felt on the earliest decks we now have the latest innovation, the Oyaide MJ-12. Manufactured from Aluminium, to own it is to love it; a stunning piece of audiophile engineering. And partnered with the complementary STB-MS weight, the results are even more impressive.

• Record Cleaning Machines

  To truly hear what is hidden deep inside a record's grooves, a RCM is an absolute must. Currently, we stock only the Okki Nokki record cleaning machine, because we believe it provides great results time and again. Although it is not cheap, it is value for money and can totally transform the sounds coming from your treasured vinyl collection, as the frequent favourable reviews confirm. Be assured that we are always looking for quality products, and will offer alternatives if we find a machine that can rival the Okki Nokki's performance.
