Ruark Audio R410 now available in store
Ruark Audio is a family-owned British company, passionate about sound and design. Their aim is to make premium music systems that look and sound fabulous. Products that will enhance your home and life.
We’d go as far to say that Ruark Audio are the most exciting name in British audio today.
This is why we’re pleased to announce that the R410, the first of a new line of “100-Series” products, is now available to experience in store.
Designed to be seen
With exquisite attention to detail, perfect proportions, and a modern take on seventies-inspired styling, R410 is a product designed to enhance interior spaces. From the hand-crafted grille and cabinet to the precision-formed components, only the finest quality materials have been used.
Further adding to R410’s aesthetic is the new material that selected for the grille construction and enclosure. Engineered from sustainable woods that have been spliced, coloured, and recomposed, the resulting eco-wood closely resembles slow growing hardwoods, but with the added benefit of consistent grain patterns and colour that’s less prone to change with time.
A feature carried over from the R-Series is the RotoDial control system. Aside from minor updates this has been a unique characteristic of Ruark products since the introduction of R1 in 2006, but for 100-Series its design has improved further, making it a tactile treat to use. In addition, a matching rechargeable remote is also included with R410. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required – and like a quality watch, it’s an item that people will love to use, as it looks and feels so good.
Engineered to be heard
The striking design of 100 Series conjures up high expectations in sound, and in this respect R410 delivers. The optimised reflex enclosures within the cabinet provide ideal conditions for new long throw NS+ bass- mid units. These units are larger in diameter than those in previous models and deliver seamless, powerful, and controlled bass through to a natural midrange, before custom 20mm tweeters (from the award winning MR1 speakers) take over the high frequencies, adding superb detail and ambience.
As a new phase for Ruark, for the first time they have selected new generation digital amplifiers for R410. Providing high efficiency and output with ultralow distortion, the compact form of these devices has allowed mounting a complete two-channel amplifier assembly directly onto the rear of each bass mid unit, keeping important signal paths optimised and as short as possible.
Along with audiophile-grade components, Burr-Brown DACs, a fully active speaker system and the latest audio processing technologies, Ruark have achieved a magical leap in performance that will connect listeners closer to the sounds they love.
After three years of development, we are truly excited to showcase what 100 Series offers and believe that R410 is the start of a new and exciting chapter for Ruark.

Upgrade your vinyl experience with Ortofon 2M Blue
The multi-award winning Ortofon 2M Series of moving magnet pick-up cartridges is built on the company’s core philosophy of accuracy in sound. All their experience, know-how, technology, and innovation has gone into making it the series that lets you hear the music the way the artist intended. As the only piece of equipment in a vinyl playback system that actually touches the record groove, these cartridges are crucially important – yet they’re so often overlooked and misunderstood.
The 2M Red is a hugely popular cartridge, found pre-installed on many turntables around the world, from iconic names like Pro-Ject Audio Systems and Technics through to lesser-known brands; and it’s chosen because of its reliable sound performance.
However, did you know you can easily upgrade your 2M Red cartridge with a simple, affordable change that will allow you to take the next step on your analogue journey and improve your musical experience?
The 2M range has been designed for easy cartridge upgrades by allowing for simple stylus replacements through the series – most notably from the introductory 2M Red to the superior 2M Blue stylus.
Want to hear what difference this upgrade will make?
Just call into store and we’ll demonstrate the difference this simple upgrade can make to the sound of your records. Feel free to call in with any of your own records too!
Concerned about making the switch yourself?
We’re here to help! Just call into store with your turntable and we’ll make the switch for you. Plus, while it’s in, we’re more than happy to give your deck a check over and ensure everything is setup exactly as it should be, free of charge!

Building your first separates AV system
Looking to build a high-quality home cinema system, but not sure where to start? Look no further than the Pioneer VSX-534 AV receiver and the Dali Spektor series speakers. With these two components, you can create a cinematic experience that will take your movie nights to the next level.
The Pioneer VSX-534 is a compact AV receiver that supports the latest audio and video formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive surround sound technologies, 4K Ultra HD video, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) video. With built-in Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily stream music from your smartphone or other compatible device.
No home cinema system is complete without speakers, and the Dali Spektor 1 speakers are an excellent choice for a front left and right speaker setup. With a 4.5-inch wood fiber woofer and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, these speakers provide clear and detailed sound quality. These speakers connect the Pioneer AV receiver with two-core speaker cable and sit either side of your TV.
Just this one receiver and this compact pair of speakers is all you need to get going with top quality hi-fi sound for your music and movies. Just connect the AV receiver to your TV with a HDMI cable and away you go!
Once these essentials are in place, you can then start thinking about how you want the system to grow.
If you want to anchor the action to your screen and create a more enveloping sound stage, adding a centre speaker is the way to go. The Dali Spektor Vokal centre channel speaker, with dual 4.5-inch woofers and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, is an obvious choice for clear dialogue and vocal reproduction. This speaker connects to the Pioneer AV receiver with the same two-core speaker cable and sits underneath your television.
To feel like you’re right in the middle of the action, add surround speakers. Another pair of Dali Spektor 1 bookshelf speakers are ideal for their compact size and balanced sound quality. Again, just connect with two-core speaker cable back to the Pioneer AV receiver, and locate these speakers at the back of your room.
Or, if you’d prefer to inject a more powerful and dynamic sound into the system, opt for the Dali Spektor 2 bookshelf speakers or the Dali Spektor 6 floorstanding speakers for the front left and right channels. The Dali Spektor 2 bookshelf speakers feature a 5.25-inch wood fiber woofer and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, while the Dali Spektor 6 floorstanding speakers have two 6.5-inch wood fiber woofers and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter. Either option will provide a more powerful and immersive sound for larger rooms, and you can move your existing Dali Spektor 1 speakers to the rear channel duties.
No home cinema system is complete without a subwoofer for that thunderous bass. The REL Acoustics Tzero MKIII subwoofer, with a 6.5-inch long-throw driver and a 100-watt Class D amplifier, provides deep and powerful bass for a more immersive movie-watching experience.
The great benefit of a separates home cinema system is the ability to build up the system slowly over time. Whether you choose to add a centre speaker, surround speakers, or subwoofer first is entirely up to you. There is no right or wrong order.
In conclusion, the Pioneer VSX-534 AV receiver and the Dali Spektor series speakers, along with the REL Acoustics Tzero MKIII subwoofer, provide a solid foundation for building a high-quality home cinema system that will bring your movies to life. Whether you choose the compact Dali Spektor 1 bookshelf speakers or the more powerful Dali Spektor 2 bookshelf speakers or Dali Spektor 6 floorstanding speakers, you can create a system that fits your room and sound preferences.
If you’re ready to take the next step in building your dream home cinema system, we’re here to help. Our knowledgeable team is available to discuss your needs and provide personalized recommendations to ensure you get the most out of your viewing experience.
We invite you to book an appointment to come into our store and experience the Pioneer VSX-534 AV receiver and Dali Spektor series speakers, along with the REL Acoustics Tzero MKIII subwoofer, for yourself. We’re confident that you’ll be blown away by the immersive sound and stunning video quality. So don’t wait, get in touch today and let us help you create the ultimate home cinema experience.
Upgrade to True Balanced with Pro-ject Audio
Are you tired of hearing unwanted noise and interference in your vinyl records? The solution is here – True Balanced connectivity for turntables. This innovative concept brings balanced connectivity to entry-level turntables, ensuring stable and interference-free connections that remove picked-up noise and interferences completely.
Phono signals are much smaller in voltage than regular CD or streaming signals, making it essential to have a reliable preamplifier to amplify the signal and make it usable by your amplifier. True Balanced connections make use of the balanced nature of cartridges, which generate both positive and negative voltage signals. However, regular single-ended RCA cables are not designed to carry both signals, leading to potential noise interference.
With True Balanced connections, any interferences are cancelled out completely from the moment you exit your cartridge and go into the gain stage of your phono preamplifier. This means you can enjoy your vinyl records without any unwanted noise or interference.
We invite you to audition our True Balanced turntables in our store and hear the difference for yourself. Say goodbye to unwanted noise and hello to a pure, clear sound with True Balanced connectivity.

Ortofon Upgrade and Save
Save £100 on the 2M Black LVB 250
For a limited time, we are offering the chance to upgrade and save with the flagship Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 and earn £100 off of regular SRP by trading in any cartridge or stylus. New and existing Ortofon fans now have the perfect opportunity to upgrade their system, and experience award-winning sound.
The 2M Black LVB 250 is truly an exercise in technical excellence, making use of a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever, a combination that is also found on the acclaimed MC Cadenza Black cartridge. The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows for an exceedingly wide contact area with the record groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the highest frequencies. The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever adds remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness to the sound. The 2M Black LVB 250 redefines what is possible from a moving magnet (MM) cartridge.
