July 2008

 

-HOLIDAY DATES. I WILL BE CLOSED ON TUESDAY 26Th  AFTER THE BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY.

 

- Linn Summer promotions – FREE AKTIV CARDS WITH POWER AMP PURCHASE. 10% OFF LP12 UPGRADES (INCLUDING KEEL, EKOS SE AND CIRCUS KITS) Ring for more details or check out Linn’s own site.

 

- Linn Majik DS just in. £1750. More affordable music streaming.

 

- Coming soon – Linn Klimax 320a fully Aktiv speakers. A snip @ £13,995 (plus stands….) Can’t wait.

 

 

 

June 2008

 

- Onkyo TX-SR606 AV Receiver now in. Essentially the same as the Award Winning ‘605 but with 4 HDMI inputs for greater flexibility. £400

 

- REL T3 sub on dem.  Could this be the sub that displaces the best selling Quake ? Probably – it sounds better, has a real wood finish and is only £395.

 

- Linn Akurate DS day. 13th June 11- 5. Just drop in and have a listen to the future. The future sounds good.

 

- Finally on dem – the Trichord Diablo mm/mc phono stage with the “never connected” power supply. Vinyl customers may know how highly I rate the Dino, well this is better. A viable alternative to the mighty Linto.

 

 

 

May 2008

 

- MAY HOLIDAY DATES; I AM CLOSED ON TUESDAY MAY 6Th AFTER THE BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY. I AM (AS USUAL) CLOSED FOR WHIT WEEK – 24TH TO 31ST INCLUSIVE, REOPENING ON TUESDAY 3RD JUNE.

 

- Roksan Xerxes now on demonstration with XPS-7 and Tabriz Zi arm. Looks stunning in the gloss black finish and sounds even better.

March 2008

 

- MARCH / EASTER OPENING HOURS; I AM CLOSED ON SATURDAY 15Th MARCH FOR STEVE’S WEDDING. AS USUAL, I AM ALSO CLOSING FOR THE EASTER WEEKEND. I WILL CLOSE @ 5.30 ON THURSDAY 20Th AND REOPEN 10.00AM ON THURSDAY 27th. Please e-mail me on clive@soundcinergy.co.uk if you have any issues over that weekend as I’ll pick up messages every day or so.

 

- LINN HAVE EXTENDED THE WINTER OFFER DETAILED BELOW UNTIL 31st MARCH.

 

- MORE MAJIK FROM LINN !! (I’m thinking of changing the shop name to “Hogworts Hi-Fi”).

THE NEW MAJIK LP12 IS NOW WITH ME AND ON DEMONSTRATION.  £1995. It comes with the new Majik LP12 Power Supply (£295 on its own), the Project 9cc tonearm (£400) Adikt (£275) and solid base (£110). Tot that lot up and even subtracting the fact that it does not come with a lid as standard, it’s a saving of almost £500 over individual prices. Sounds pretty darn good on first impression. Allows a full upgrade path too, as the mechanics are identical to the “usual” LP12.

 

- WE WILL BE HAVING A LAUNCH PARTY FOR THE MAJIK LP12 ON FRIDAY 4th APRIL BETWEEN 11.00am AND 5pm. JUST TURN UP AND HAVE A LISTEN.

 

- Marantz. SR7002 AV Receiver now on dem. This £1000 monster has full video conversion, right from composite to HDMI, enabling simple hook up to screens for multiple sources. Oh, and it sound great too.

 

 

 

 

February 2008

 

- LINN WINTER OFFER. Trade in ANY Linn electronics against a new Linn electronic product and in addition to the trade in value, you will also receive a further 10% off the purchase price of the new item !! Offer runs until 28th Feb. 2008.

 

- Trichord have re-vamped the best selling Dino phonostage (a personal favourite of mine). A few tweaks to the interior and a metal base plate are the changes. Now £349. Power supply options remain the same.

 

- Monitor Audio GSW12 subwoofer now on dem @£1000, to match the Gold series speakers.

 

- Onkyo. I now have the award winning Onkyo TX-SR605 AV Receiver on dem. £400 and can supply other Onkyo products to order.

 

- Fujitsu. Following Fujitsu’s announcement that it is pulling out of the European Flat Screen market, I am no longer able to supply new units. Full service backup is still provided of course for existing owners.

 

- Epos. New “Mi” series speaker range from Epos now on dem. Epos have tweaked the excellent M series with all new cabinets, modified drive units and better aesthetics. There will be a small price increase – M5i £425, M12i £525, M22i £1100. Very impressive they are too.
