At Riverside, we continue to supply turntables (aka "decks"), tone arms and cartridges
to audio purists. We supply turntables
from some of the best manufacturers of turntables in the world. Thorens
(from Switzerland), Henley (The PRO-JECT range - designed in the UK) and
those from UK based Michell Engineering (GyroDec and Orbe turntables).
We also offer pick-up arm's from Sussex (UK) based SME Limited,
(Series IV and Series V magnesium tone-arms) and cartridges from various manufacturers.
In these days of digital CD players, Mini-disc and MP3, why would anyone want
to play vinyl records? The answer is different for different people, but
some believe that the analogue signal pressed into the tracks of a
vinyl LP is better for sound reproduction than any digital media. Maybe they
are right? Why not visit our shop
and take a listen yourself?
