The Linn Sondek LP12 turns 45 this year and to celebrate this auspicious occasion we are having a birthday party here at Cymbiosis on Wednesday 25^th July 2018.

Whilst we can’t promise jelly and ice-cream, there will definitely be a birthday cake!

Katie and Garry from Linn will be here to give an informal presentation, talking about the Linn story and the history of the LP12 and playing a couple of records.

We are excited to announce the arrival of a new product from Tiger Paw, the much anticipated unipivot tonearm, which has been named Javelin.

Many of you will notice similarities to the long discontinued and sadly missed Naim Aro tonearm. In real terms though, this was only used as an inspiration and Javelin has been developed with new materials and assembly processes to produce an outstanding arm capable of resolving more information, more accurately, to create a uniquely musical arm capable of extracting the most from modern high-performance cartridges.

The Rega Planar 1 has been the most successful turntable that Rega have produced, but rather than sit on their laurels, they decided to see if they could make it even easier to use and more accessible to the new generation of people discovering vinyl replay and so the Rega Planar 1 Plus was born.

Vinylfinders is a new venture started by Paul Darwin – formerly of this parish, in a former life, managing Listen Inn in Northampton! Paul is an industry stalwart who went on to work for Naim Audio and Arcam before his current position with Rega Research.

Paul is well known for his passion for music, particularly on the vinyl medium and has an encyclopedic knowledge of many bands and artists and their recordings over the years.
