Hi-Fi Room: Best cable award for Tellurium Q Statement
I have long been a fan of Tellurium Q , the addition of Black II speaker cable to a system is an easy step up in performance. Further up the performance scale Black and Silver Diamond interconnects, USB and speaker cables battle each other for a place in your set up....
Hi-Fi Room: Wilson Tune Tot – now available for demonstration
Wilson Audio have excelled with the large speaker remit with the phenomenal WAMM Master Chronosonic . At over 6ft in height the WAMM may be the best speaker Wilson have ever made but it is far from compact and bijou. Step forward the latest Wilson Audio product - the...

The Vitus RI-100 integrated amplifier is a favourite of mine. A real slice of high performance that pours from any good quality speaker. With the built in DAC the amplifier becomes even more versatile and adding a Melco Music server delivers the complete package - top...

Hi-Fi Room: All shapes and sizes
I love a large speaker and today I was testing some of the widest and tallest units we have had in the showroom. All of the designs are electrostatic so a real change from my usual offering in style and presentation. We traded in the Quad and the Kingsound speakers as...
Hi-Fi Room: T+A updated and improved
If build quality was the key indicator of sound quality there would be little need to audition any hi-fi beyond the HV range from T+A. The fit and finish on their components is everything you would expect at the price point and way beyond –in fact it embarrasses many...
