Vinyl is not dead, it just needs a new turntable – John Peel
The humble record player has been around since the 1960’s and probably earlier examples still exist. When CD was invented it promised perfect sound forever, that was not the case as many hi-fi enthusiasts discovered vinyl sounds better. The argument goes on but vinyl is now growing again as people become bored with CD and much prefer the analogue replay system. The record never really died, it just slept for a few years as CD took a hold of the market and the shiny silver disc grew into DVD and Blu-Ray.
With sales of CD’s declining mainly due to i-pods and music downloads, it is the record’s turn to once again thrive as many people turn to the shiny black discs again. With record players of good quality costing less than the top i-pod, under £200, there is a renaissance occurring in the UK and many other countries involving vinyl replay. Many audiophiles own record collections numbering 1000’s, the author included. A top flight record player can cost over £20,000.00. For the beginner who has a few albums the cost to enter into vinyl replay can be modest with turntables costing £150 and above, some are plug and play and require little maintenance to achieve a reasonably good sound. At Mains Cables R Us we have a large collection of vinyl and many record players collected over a 30 year period, we sell record cleaning machines by the Moth Group and can even clean your records for you for a small fee if you live locally (Huddersfield). We stock SRM Tech record players and a wide range of vinyl accessories to help you get the best sound quality possible. Our website has an Aladdin’s cave of products for hi-fi and home cinema enthusiasts from a simple mains plug costing a few pounds up to a mains conditioning system costing £2500. Our vinyl section is always very busy as we sell in-expensive items to help you get the best performance from your hi-fi. An example being the Blue Horizon record brush costing under £20.
We also specialize in servicing old record players and fitting new tone-arms and even power supply’s. If you are a vinyl enthusiast get in touch to see if we can help you.
We have a top flight hi-fi system on permanent demonstration in our Huddersfield workshops with a Garrard 401 turntable (made in 1962 and still going strong) as well as valve cd player and amplifier, we welcome personal visits and will help you to get the best performance from your hi-fi system using our cables and accessories.
