Clearaudio's Smart Stylus Force Gauge provides an easy, accurate, and inexpensive way to set up your cartridge accurately. No AC power or batteries are required for this ingenious method. Boasting 1.5 g to 3.5 g accuracy, the Gauge works by measuring the 'flex' of your stylus when you set your tonearm down on top of the printed scale.
Clearaudio High Precision Level Gauge
Each High Precision Level Gauge is accurately calibrated by hand on a precision calibrated surface plate at the clearaudio factory to guarantee most precise level measurements.

SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH
Tiny Size BIG Sound. Purple Fuse
Of all the fuse generations and refinements Synergistic Research have pioneered over the past decade, the new Purple Fuses are by far their best sounding and take the single greatest leap in performance over previous generations. All aspects of subjective sound quality get enhanced, including natural sound where instruments and vocals sound inherently right, dynamics, low-level detail, high-frequency extension, and smoothness all take a massive leap forward.

DS Audio factory tour 2022
Creating the future of analog music
Founded in Japan in 2013 DS Audio have introduced a radical new cartridge design which does away with magnets and coils! In contrast to moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, which work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the DS-W1 uses an optical system to convert stylus/cantilever movements into audio signals. The advantage of this system is that it completely eliminates the electromagnetic frictional force that is a ‘fact of life’ in all MM and MC designs.

Mel Torme – Torme – Verve (Acoustic Sounds Series) 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Tormé is an uptempo gem that Mel Torme swings to perfection. Nicknamed "The Velvet Fog," Torme was a noted singer, composer, arranger, drummer and actor. This self-titled 1958 studio album was his first record for Verve.
Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve's Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings. All titles are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets. The releases are supervised by Chad Kassem, CEO of Acoustic Sounds, the world's largest source for audiophile recordings.
Miles Davis – Sorcerer – MOFI 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP
The Third Of Five Albums From Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet: Mood, Inflection, Nuance, And Expressionism Take Center Stage On Sorcerer
Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing on MoFi SuperVinyl: Mobile Fidelity 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP Plays with Reference Dynamics, Transparency, and Presence 1/4" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Filled with aural magic and enchanting musical spells, Sorcerer is true to its name. The third of five albums by Miles Davis’ legendary Second Great Quintet — and the second record in a still-unprecedented string of eight consecutive releases within a four-year period that forever changed the face of jazz — the 1967 effort mesmerizes with instrumental colors, subdued musings, and subtle details. These crucial characteristics blossom with vibrant realism on Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP.
Miles Davis – Birth Of The Blue (Black Vinyl Un Numbered Edition) Analogue Productions 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Available To Pre-Order
Analogue Productions is proud to present Birth of the Blue in an exclusive first-of-its-kind stand-alone release that reflects our reputation for meticulous production, capturing authentic sound with clarity, depth and fidelity that exceeds the audiophile standard. Miles Davis's Kind of Blue was the number-one jazz album in history. It totaled five songs. There are four more songs from that same historic group, recorded in the same time period and at the same studio. And here they are. These songs deserve to stand on their own with artwork to highlight the quality of the music and that matches the time period of the recording. This is a rare opportunity to have a smash follow-up to what many consider the greatest jazz record ever!
Clifford Jordan – Cliff Jordan – Blue Note Tone Poet Series 180g Vinyl
Under-recognized tenorman Clifford Jordan blew in from Chicago with a trio of excellent Blue Note sessions in 1957 including Cliff Jordan featuring a septet with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, John Jenkins on alto, Ray Bryant on piano, Paul Chambers on bass & Art Taylor on drums.
This mono Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
Chet Baker – Baker’s Holiday – (Verve Records – Acoustic Sounds Series ) 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve
Recorded in 1965 and showcasing a number of songs he’d never recorded before, Baker’s Holiday is Chet’s tribute to Billie Holiday and features his instantly-identifiable trumpet along with four trademark vocals.
Backed by a full sax section and a four-piece rhythm section that includes pianist Hank Jones, this classic album highlights colourful Jimmy Mundy arrangements.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
Pharoah Sanders – Live – Theresa Records 180 Vinyl 2 LP Gatefold Sleeve
This album features Pharoah Sanders playing some no-nonsense tenor in a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders performs “It’s Easy to Remember” (in a style very reminiscent of early-’60s John Coltrane), an original blues, and two of his compositions, including the passionate “You’ve Got to Have Freedom.”
The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form. Review by Scott Yanow/AMG
