Following a number of requests to Rega for a “wood effect” finish for the Planar 1 turntable, we can now introduce the Walnut effect finish, which is constructed from the same rigid laminate as the current Planar 1 offering identical performance and rigidity.

This is an attractive, high quality, realistic finish which is supplied as standard with the premium smoked dustcover to set off the design.

Linn products have just announced three exciting new upgrades for the Sondek LP12 turntable all at once.

There is a connection here though as there is a new tonearm, Arko, plus two new cartridges, Kendo and Koil.

Arko

With Arko, Linn have returned to fundamentals, by removing all bar the mission-critical elements of tonearm design, boiling these down to their essence, and then honing what was left to superlative standards.

Cymbiosis is delighted to announce that we are now stockists of Vertere Record Players with the MG-1 and DG-1 on permanent demonstration.

A Vertere Record Player is uniquely designed and engineered to the highest standards, enabling you to enjoy the best possible musical experience.

At Vertere, the foundation for their Record Player designs is a full understanding of the recording, cutting and vinyl pressing process.

I thought it was about time to share some details and initial impressions about the new Radikal/2 upgrade which was launched by Linn Products Ltd at the end of October. All Radikals can be updated with this kit through a Linn retailer such as ourselves and we here at Cymbiosis have both versions set up on two otherwise identical Linn Sondek LP12s for clients to compare for themselves!
