Rega Planar 6 revealed

Rega Research’s prolific development of new turntables continues with the long-awaited revelation of the new Planar 6. Two years in development, it is certainly worth the wait.
Planar 6 replaces the much-loved RP6; entirely re-engineered utilising some of the core technologies from Rega’s flagship RP8 and RP10 turntables.

In a breakthrough arguably as monumental to some as that of Ernest Rutherford’s to science, Naim Audio have at last conquered all barriers and shipped the Uniti Atom.
On our decks this month
24 July 2017
It’s been a busy month of gigs for Adventures in Hi-fi. Again.
Live music often influences what we listen to in the shop and this month some of our live highlights have been Radiohead at Old Trafford and James at Castlefield Bowl so The Bends and Laid have been glued to our turntable.
Plus, we just can’t get enough of The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper remaster and we’re still battering Whitney – Light Upon the Lake from last year, with a bit of The Charlatans – Different Days thrown in too.
It’s going to take something special to pry these from our turntable!
Here’s a little something we made earlier
18 July 2017
One of our favourite things to do at Adventures is build turntables. It’s not quite as much fun as listening to them, but it’s mighty close. And this Michell Orbe was certainly a challenge.
So we thought we would share a couple of pics of our latest creation (credit mainly of course to Phil). Painstakingly re-built from scratch, our customer provided the parts; we provided the genius.
NEW ProAc Response DT8: matching material to music
17 July 2017

The new Response DT8 goes one step further, matching cone material to frequency for each drive unit.

New Tellurium Q Black II speaker cable
6 July 2017
We’ve been advocating the benefits of Tellurium Q Black speaker cable for several years at Adventures so are naturally excited at the launch of Black II, the upgraded version of this versatile cable.
