Other Goodies

Other Goodies that enhance the performance of your equipment and your listening pleasure! Typically featuring those hard-to-get gadgets and tools.

Creek Amplification

A wide range of solid state amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, phono-stage amplifiers and passive controllers.

More “simple is good” philosophy results in outstanding sound quality at affordable prices.

Of special interest to those into vinyl is the Creek OBH-15. This relatively low cost unit caters for both MC and MM cartridges and supersedes both the OBH-8 and OBH-9 series.

Perfect for those who have a pre-amplifier with no phono stage or those with a poor quality pre-amplifier.

Creek power and integrated amplifiers work well with Lowthers if you are not yet into valve amplification.

Michell Record Clamp

Modern vinyl records are thin, flexible and often warped or bowed. As most records do not lie flat on the turntable platter, sound reproduction suffers due to undamped vinyl resonances caused by the stylus riding on an unsupported record. Records which are bowed downwards contact the platter at the outer edge but not in middle. Conversely, records that are warped or bowed upwards tend to rock on the platter. In these instances anti-skating compensation is less effective and record wear is increased substantially by the lateral or vertical see-saw motion of the tonearm/cartridge combination.
The Michell Record Clamp solves the above problems by bringing the record into more intimate contact with the platter.
