If your heading to the show, make sure to pop in and see us in the Bentley Suite!

Fresh from its release at the High-End Munich show this year, we are set to have the Innuos Zenith Statement on demonstration at the North West Audio Show. We are also taking the Innuos Zenith SE music server pitting the two head to head, allowing you to hear the improvements made to the new flagship server. We will also have Anthony from Innuos with us to answer any technical questions you may have.
LUXMAN RANGE TOPPING PRE/POWER
Electronics wise we are taking the flagship pre-power combination from Luxman, the C-900U pre and M-900U power amplifier will connect to the Luxman DA-06 DAC. Special guest Izumi Saito from Luxman will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the brand. She is the Field Application Manager for Luxman, needless to say we are very excited to have her on board for the show.

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.
