In Stock products are those that are currently held in stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse. This stock status is updated regularly but is subject to change at very short notice.
Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.
Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.
Exclusive products are sold only through one, or sometimes a very small number of dealers. As part of their commitment to the product’s exclusivity, they carry most of the available stock.

"The speed and drive that this system musters is a source of constant joy."
Ortofon ST 80 SE Review
"... we, as audiophiles, are always on the lookout for the next 'wonderbox' and maybe, just maybe, I have one of those boxes with me now"
Henley Says...
If you’re finding that your moving coil cartridge isn’t reaching its full potential, or if you’re relying on excessive gain from your amplifier and risking distortion, an Ortofon Step-Up Transformer could be the perfect solution. By boosting the signal from an MC cartridge to MM levels, these transformers provide a cleaner, more dynamic performance without overloading your system.
Whenever we demonstrate Ortofon’s Exclusive Series cartridges - whether in our showroom or at high-end Hi-Fi shows - we know that pairing them with an Ortofon Step-Up Transformer helps bring out their full capabilities. The added refinement, detail, and control make a noticeable difference, allowing your system to deliver music with greater depth and realism.
Whether you're looking to optimise a high-end setup or simply want to extract the best possible sound from your MC cartridge, an Ortofon Step-Up Transformer is a fantastic way to take performance to the next level.
If you are interested in the ST-80 SE and would like to know more, or are building a high-end system and would like some advice, reach out to one of our expert team today.
