Audio Sanctuary

Audio Sanctuary Premier supplier of headphones, portable audio, cables and spares. London showroom, global delivery. In May 2009 Audio Sanctuary and Headphones Direct merged.

Audio Sanctuary were founded in 1985 as a mail order only company distributing catalogues to tens of thousands of UK customers who wanted cables and accessories for their HiFi systems. During the first 10 years of operation Audio Sanctuary grew rapidly and began distributing many well known brands to businesses and had an input in many cable and accessory designs, some of which are still available

now! In early 2003 Audio Sanctuary put their mail order catalogue online for the first time so that customers could see what products were available and then phone to place their order. In 2005 Audio Sanctuary revamped their website with more products and for the first time enabled customers to purchase directly from the website. At the same time a website called headphonesdirect.co.uk was also set up to cater for all headphone related queries and list all of the available headphones that were available.Also in 2005 Audio Sanctuary were appointed as a Sennheiser's Consumer Spares Partner for their headphones and soon became the go to people for all of Sennheiser customer's requiring headphone spares. In August 2009 Audio Sanctuary processed their first online order with a new website that had headphones, cables, accessories and Sennheiser spares all listed on the single website making it easier for customers to purchase. Audio Sanctuary are now one of the largest suppliers of Sennheiser spares and accessories and have a specialist division set up to help customers find the correct part or offer any support that may be required. With the merging of headphonesdirect, Audio Sanctuary have a seperate division which specialises in medium to high-end headphones and headphone amplifiers. At the core of Audio Sanctuary is the cable division which aims to supply customers with cable for their HiFi and Home Cinema systems to the length and terminations they require.

+++ Benz Micro GLIDER S MC Cartridges +++

Audio Sanctuary are overjoyed to announce that we have secured a small quantity of these highly-rated and extremely sought-after moving coil phono cartridges, in Low, Medium and High output versions.

Released in 1993, the Glider S cartridge by Benz Micro has won many awards and an army of fans during its lifetime. Absolute Sound wrote the following review about this excellent MC cartridge back in 2009:

“It’s not just the superlative tonal balance and unstoppable trackability of the medium output (0.8 mV) Glider SM that allows it to cop the Affordable Phono Cartridge of the Year honours, there’s also the Glider’s addictive inner detail and reassuring dash of warmth and pure lusciousness in the lower mids and bass. Don’t forget a presence and a treble range that are enriched with air and harmonic delicacy but steer completely clear of the dreaded etch and dryness of many mc’s, past and present. For those searching for the business end of a playback system that’s as musically expressive as it is honest, the Glider will set any system soaring.”
