dCS Vivaldi

Our event to showcase the dCS Vivaldi digital replay system (from the 22nd to the 29th of June) was a huge success, and we are grateful to Rav Bawa and Liam Davison of dCS for their invaluable help before and throughout the event.

This really is world-beating stuff. If you haven't heard Vivaldi (or Scarlatti, Paganini, Puccini, Debussey or any of the previous generations of dCS equipment) then you owe it to yourself to do so.

Taking serious leaps forward are their latest developments in computer audio playback, further enhanced by the availability of the Aurender media streamer which is also handled in the UK by dCS.

We are also grateful, of course, to our friends at KOG Audio for providing the fabulous Avalon speakers, VTL amplification, Stillpoints vibration control and TelluriumQ cables we used to partner the dCS systems throughout.

The Value of Cables

Excellent article in the Independent about high-end cables, from an acknowledged expert in the field, Bob Abraham (founder of QED):

We obviously have our own views on this too, as a retailer for Nordost, TelluriumQ, Audioquest, The Chord Company - and QED of course!
