Cymbiosis is pleased to announce that Peter has just added the Hana range of moving coil cartridges to our stock.Having auditioned them at length, he feels that they offer excellent sound quality at an affordable price.

Hana – 華 – means “brilliant and gorgeous” in Japanese and they have been winning reviewer praise and awards since their introduction to the UK in 2015.

Peter has taken off on his travels again, this time visiting a number of regular clients in both Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

As well as attending to the usual collection of Linn Sondek LP12s, he was also called upon to configure an active Naim Allae system, install a Naim Aro LP12 into a Linn Exakt sytem and sort out a classic Linn/Naim six pack Isobarik active system.

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.

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.
