HiFi News
Fanthorpes HiFi are now PS Audio dealers.
PS Audio was founded in 1973 by audio designers Paul McGowan (the P) and Stan Warren (the S), in Santa Maria California.
PS Audio is now based in beautiful Boulder Colorado, nestled up against the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Products are engineered in-house from the ground up using some of the most sophisticated engineering and evaluation tools available. They are strong advocates of utilising the latest technologies in service of building state-of-the-art high value products for our customers.Their core products are all hand built in their modern production facilities in Boulder Colorado. PS Audio are a proud employer of more than 25 local artisans who design, build and make their products available all over the world. PS Audio's love of music and high-end audio has enabled them to build products and provide services that support both for nearly 40 years.
We will have the DirectStream Memory Player and the DirectStream DAC, with more equipment to follow.
DirectStream Memory Player - £5999
35 years after the introduction of the CD, PS Audio engineers have perfected the art of data extraction and delivery so you can finally hear what’s been locked away in your CD and SACD collection. The PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player (DMP) is a universal optical disc transport with a twist inside: an advanced Digital Lens. The Lens, first invented in 1993 by PS Audio’s Paul McGowan and Bob Stadtherr, electrically isolates the mechanical transport/laser mechanism of optical disc readers, improves audio quality to a degree few systems have yet achieved, and focuses audio data into a single, bit-perfect, timing-perfected stream to your DAC.
DirectStream DAC - £5499
Class A+ Stereophile rated DirectStream DAC converts any digital input format, such as PCM or DSD to a pure DSD stream and outputs near-perfect analog directly to your power amplifier or preamplifier. Whatever the format, whatever the sample rate, the PS Audio DirectStream DAC is a pure DSD based solution that fulfills the promise of a high-resolution analog performance standard the originators of CDs promised over 30 years ago. Hear what’s been missing in your music for all these years. If you know the sound of music and instruments, and want to hear what’s been missing on your discs, then this DAC is right for you.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
