From the master of

turntable upgrades

comes a UK-built,

stripped-back design

that oozes style. But all

that acrylic isn’t just for

effect, so how will it fare

in the sonic stakes?

With three decades of

hi-fi knowhow behind

its quality components

and carrying a Goldring

cartridge and Pro-Ject

tonearm, this Czech

deck’s got a lot to offer

and we smell a bargain.

Pro-Ject’s Debut Carbon

gets upgraded with a

slab of acrylic and a sexy

speed control. Throw in

a carbon arm wand and

Ortofon pick up and

you’ve got a package

that’s hard to beat.

This fuss-free package

represents the latest

iteration of Rega’s vinyl

spinning icon and gets

some structural

engineering to support

its top-flight tonearm

and inhouse pick up

This US deck’s traditional

looking plinth hides a

wealth of modern

materials aimed at

faithful music playback.

Can its uniquely crafted

approach keep the

competition at bay?

Festooned with features

including an in-built

phono stage, cartridge

and S/PDIF out, this

direct drive heavyweight

DJ deck’s got the lot.

But can it cut it in the

audiophile arena?
