KLEI QFlow analogue interconnects

The new QFlow series of analogue audio interconnect cables replace the previous gZero models. With new plugs, conductors and internal architecture, not to mention a rather attractive and distinctive coloured sleeving – the new QFlow interconnects are radically better in both absolute performance and value. The range has been simplified and broadened with just four models but a real lift of performance at the high end.

Analogue is more than vinyl. It’s music with warmth and realism. If you want to rediscover records, or invigorate an existing turntable based system we have some great analogue options for you. There are no sampling limits in analogue. You have the ability to make continual improvements to any analogue system, revealing more music with ever greater fidelity.

The Best of Turntables

When you start to investigate a new record playing system today you’ll quickly find that you are spoilt for choice. We have listened to and sold many turntables over the years. What makes a system sound good comes down to some very simple principles – –the quality of design being most important….

The Value of a Phono Stage

The importance and performance gains to be had by selecting a better phono stage or amplifier are easy to underestimate. Until you hear them. Having the personal experience of stepping through a broad range of both cartridges and phono stages it has become obvious that the effect of the latter is at least as much as that of a cartridge. And that the benefit of improving both is cumulative– i.e. you’ll get better value and sound from your turntable system by considering both.

Choosing Your Cartridge

The stylus and cartridge are very much the business end of any record playing system, being in direct contact with the LP and converting the physical movement of the stylus into the electrical signal which flows through your hifi system. So your choice of phono cartridge will have an immediate and direct bearing on the sound you hear. There are a myriad of optiopns from entry level Nagoaka to state of the art – we’ve got the perfect choice for almost every turntable and level of expectation.
