The Audio Consultants at the UK Audio Show 2021

We will be exhibiting at the forthcoming UK Audio Show 2021 9-10 October at the De Vere Staverton Estate, Daventry, NN11 6JT.

We can be found in the Worcester Suite situated on the 1st Floor.

Being a leading independent consultancy specialising in high quality 2-channel audio system we will be using both vinyl and digital replay as sources.

Brands on show

We will showcase the latest optical cartridge from DS Audio the DS-003. The cartridge will be mounted in a Nottingham Analogue Ace SpaceDeck turntable and arm. This cartridge has its own version of a phone stage, an equaliser, and the total package retails for £5000. A very different take on the traditional cartridge MM and MC designs, offering an exceptional sound at this price.

In addition, we will have the Luxman PD-151 turntable and the new Luxman LMC-5 MC cartridge combined with a Luxman E-250 phono pre-amplifier.

We firmly believe in physical discs for optimal sound from digital formats, and we will have the latest entry level design from AVM the CD 30.3 and the flagship Luxman D-10X CD players.

We will demonstrate streaming by using the Innuos Zenith Mk III from both its internal SSD hard drive and from subscription services. After auditioning many of the foremost brands for streaming we have settled on Innuos and AVM as two that provide a sound quality close to that achievable with a conventional CD. The Zenith Mk III offers ease of use, excellent component count and build quality.

The amplification will feature two new integrated amplifiers: the AVM Ovation A 6.2 Master Edition and the Luxman L-590AX pure Class A. These offer true high-end sound at their respective price points of £6500 (A 6.2 ME) and £7000 (L-590AX).

Record cleaner demonstrations

The new version of the Audiodesksysteme PRO X ultrasonic vinyl cleaner will be on display with upgraded top plate to make it easier to use, quieter fans and the ability to clean 7” singles. Visitors will have the opportunity to hear the improvements by cleaning a LP of their own and hear the very positive effect of this, not only with a used LP but also brand new and previously cleaned LPs. There will be limited times when we can demonstrate the benefits of this ultrasonic cleaner as we need to allow other components to be played through the audio system being used.

Speakers

The speakers will include the Kudos Titan T707 (£15000), the multi award winning floor standing model which offers precise imaging, very tight, extended bass from the isobaric loaded bass drivers, exceptional sound staging and speed. The new speaker from US manufacturer Eggleston Works the Emma EVO (£7500) offers an exceptional sonic performance, build quality, and style, for their price point.

The equipment support and chassis resonance control will be from Harmonic Resolution Systems, with a background in vibration control gained from the aerospace industry, they are world renowned for producing the lowest noise floors. The innovatively designed RXR frame and the new entry level E1 Base bases, offer a more affordable entry point to their range. We will also be showcasing the Lateral Audio LAS-4 Concert stand with their aesthetically stylish design.

GutWire Cables

All signal cables, ground cables and power cords will be from the Canadian company GutWire Cables. These feature an extremely dense screen design and ultra-high quality, solder-free connectors. This results in very low noise, negligible colouration with no hint of compression, and one of the largest and realistic soundstages we have heard.

We will be using the new Puritan Laboratories PSM 1512 mains distributer fitted with Furutech UK sockets which is an exclusive design for The Audio Consultants.

Room acoustics will be controlled with the Acustica Applicate DAAD acoustic devices. HRS Nimbus chassis noise reduction products will be used throughout our systems.
