AVID Volvere SP Review – Mas-sive attack
With its dynamic, detailed and confident
presentation, the Volvere SP delivers all of the
thrills hidden in your vinyl’s grooves and adds
a few more just for good measure. Rock solid,
unerringly precise and gloriously natural, it’s
a triumph that combines the joys of a belt
drive with the accuracy of a direct drive.

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Review – Carbon dating
Easy to setup and unfussy in use, the Debut

Rega Planar 10 Review: Perfect 10
A masterpiece that is without doubt one of
Rega’s finest achievements, the Planar 10
manages to deliver a performance that is
outstanding even at this lofty price point. Utterly
unflappable, it offers incredible detail retrieval
combined with a naturally low noise floor to dish
up captivating vinyl execution.

Technics SL-1500C Review – The Return of Technics Turntables
The built-in phono stage is terrific, while the
take-no-prisoners sonic personality sounds
joyously lively, enthusiastic and ‘on it’. Thanks
to its legendary torque and stability, it locks
down timing and rhythm with start-stop
precision and its firm, deep and expressive
bass adds unrivalled impetus and authority.

AnalogueWorks TT Zero Review
Pristine without being bright, the TT Zero has
fine tonal discrimination and starts and stops
precisely where it should. It is able to unpick all
the audio strands with ease, sounding, open
and airy with plenty of sparkle and bite, a low
noise floor, lucid rhythmic gait and impressively
clean, controlled and tuneful bass.
