dCS DAC X Open Day - Saturday 28th June

Published on
26th June 2025

Hi,

We're applying the finishing touches to the demo room, ready for Saturday's dCS listening event. Come and join us from 11am—there are a handful of places left! You'll get to experience the new dCS LINA DAC X network music player, which looks and sounds incredible, and an exclusive listen to the Dan D'Agostino Pendulum Integrated Amp powering the Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy loudspeakers. It's guaranteed to be an immersive listening experience.

Make sure to check out the latest additions to our Pre-owned section. We have some excellent deals from iconic British brands like ATC, Linn, and Harbeth, which aren't going to hang around for long.

I'm excited to present the first of my curated Hi-Fi Systems—what I'm calling "real-world high-end". First up is Vol. 1, which features the game-changing TPI TYPE. HF1 Loudspeakers and PM165 Amplifier. Some hi-fi components just belong together.

Finally, the shop is now open on Saturdays! Book an appointment, let us know what you'd like to listen to, and start the weekend the right way—listening to good music.

See you soon,

Deano

Shunyata Everest-X

Shunyata Everest-X

Shunyata Everest-X - Power Distributor

Some dedicated audiophiles in Japan have gone to extraordinary lengths—installing their own private power supply to achieve unsullied, purified electricity for their hi-fi systems. While we admire that level of commitment to achieve good sound, the Shunyata Everest-X offers a far more practical solution that delivers similar results without having to rewire your neighbourhood.

It acts as your system's guardian angel, eliminating the electrical noise and interference that clouds your music while ensuring every component receives the clean power it craves.

The beauty of the Everest-X is in its universal impact - whether you're running a compact music system or a reference setup, this power distributor will reveal details you never knew existed in your favourite recordings. You'll hear the subtle breath between a vocalist's phrases, the decay of piano notes in a Nils Frahm composition, and the precise placement of instruments across a three-dimensional soundstage.

Clean power isn't just about reducing noise; it's about rediscovering your entire music collection with newfound clarity and emotional connection!

A Warp Happening, Barbican Centre, London

Seefeel Barbican live

Seelfeel - A Warp Happening, Barbican Centre, 14th June 2025

We visited the Barbican earlier this month for 'A Warp Happening', a celebration of Warp Records—widely regarded as the greatest electronic music label. The exhibition featured an impressive collection of memorabilia alongside unforgettable live performances.

The highlight was Seefeel's mesmerising live set, which perfectly captured their signature hypnotic sound. We were also treated to remastered music videos from Autechre, Boards of Canada, and Aphex Twin shown on the big screen—including the genius filmmaking of Chris Cunningham!

Check out the Warp collectables that were on display from Unified Goods, and watch Squarepusher's ‘Come on my Selector’.
