HELIUS DESIGNS ALEXIA TURNTABLE AND OMEGA TONEARM - Hi-Fi+

Check out the Helius Alexia turntable at our showroom, unique suspension design, excellent in pace, rhythm, and timing.

"This is also an exceptionally dynamic combination; switching over to Rachmaninov’s ‘Symphonic Dances’ [Athena], the Helius combination coped with the full onslaught of the orchestra without problem, where so many end up flattening out the highs and lows and burbling along nonchalantly. The obvious parallel is with the classic Voyd turntable (because so many were supplied with Helius arms) and the dynamic range of this deck seems to match that masterpiece, albeit from memory. In fact, dry detail aside, perhaps the only big sonic issue with the Helius is you end up gasping for air after really powerful pieces of music."

" In a world where there is actually precious little development in turntables – and a lot of hype about recycling the same thing with a different finish – the Helius Alexia and Orion represent a genuinely different and novel approach to getting the job done. That’s well worth checking out."

The affordable Scheu Cello Evolution turntable set, review by hifitest.de, in German (it can be translated using Google Translate)

"The combination convinces by a great clarity - the combination of wooden frame with spikes and the acrylic plate acts well damped, but not too exaggerated, so that fast impulses are processed perfectly, but not to an undefined "pressure on the ears" can swing. This dynamic overview also ensures a good spatial image without any masking effects - the stage is well reproduced in depth and width, and there is enough precision to separate individual voices well."

Pear Audio Blue Kid Thomas Turntable with Cornet 2 Tonearm and External Power Supply

Stereophile Class A Turntable

TAS 2017 Editor's Choice Award

"Regardless of which cartridge was mounted on the tonearm, music never ventured into aggression, never lost drive, and never lost macro-dynamic impact. The soundstage was always wide and deep with the degree of saturation dependent of the cartridge installed at the time. The noise floor remained subjectively low—a trait not often found to this degree on sub-$10,000 ’tables. With either cartridge, it didn’t matter if the music played was jazz, classic rock, heavy metal, hip-hop, folk, blues, or classical. Whether solo piano or orchestral crescendos, the ’table performed with the same fundamental sonic character."

Pear Audio Kid Howard turntable

"The KH is outstanding in all three categories. Time worn musical favorites reveal fine inner detail that I’d never expect a table at this price to expose. The sound field rendered is big, big, big; extending well beyond the speaker boundaries, all the way out to the side walls in the room. Audiophile darlings with tons of detail do not disappoint either. That big platter is a big help when listening to solo piano or violin; both of these highly sophisticated instruments are reproduced without waver, retaining the necessary amount of weight to sound highly convincing. Lastly, the crappiest recordings in my collection come across with a vigor that I wasn’t expecting. Often this can be the most telltale sign of a table’s performance."

The home page of the Pear Audio Analogue website says that they are “turntables with pedigree.” If you’re relatively new to the vinyl game, it’s possi

The Pear Audio Kid Howard turntable with Pear Audio Cornet 2 tonearm

"Striking is a fitting description of the player's powers of scale: The Kid Howard and Cornet 2 created a soundfield that was engagingly, involvingly big. And the parts of that soundfield that weren't music were impressively "black": lots of big, black nothingness surrounding very colorful music. Very, as in very."

There's nothing new under the sun, or so we are told. Nevertheless, in the early 1990s, a British designer named Tom Fletcher upset the audio status quo with a turntable that combined otherwise-familiar elements in a manner that was, at the very least, new with a lower-case n. Fletcher's product, th...

Introducing fine analog products from Genuin Audio, Germany. Let's start with their tonearm, Point.
Have you ever wanted to use different cartridges without having to buy many arms, or having to go through the rigorous setting up process again ? The Point tonearm is what you need, and it's a superbly designed tonearm.

"The design of the Point allows the use of several different tonearm tops on one tonearm base. This is ideal for comparing cartridges or using a special mono-pick-up for a mono record. After a one-time adjustment, the tonearm upper parts can be pre-set. They are then exchanged with minimal effort. Only the anti-skating string needs to be hung. Done."

Perfect unipivot tonearm for a neutral music reproduction. The sophisticated internal design avoids the tilting of conventional unipivot arms.
