Anniversary sale continues – analogue style!
Posted on November 28th, 2014
Turntables and all things analogue are the very back bone of this company. While turntables and vinyl are experiencing a renaissance of sorts, they have never left the shelves at the Ark. To that end, our 35th anniversary sale will continue to feature the wide array of phono products we carry.
Focal Aria 905
Posted on November 27th, 2014
The little cuties are the latest addition to the much vaunted Aria range from Focal. This compact loudspeaker features the a 5″ flax mid bass driver and a 1″ TNF tweeter.
Usable bass response is said to in the region of 52 Hz; quite remarkable when you consider the speaker is a little over a foot tall! $1099.00/pr MSRP.
Arcam miniBlink
Posted on November 24th, 2014
Just as the sticker on the box says, “get amazing blue tooth sound from your phone, tablet or laptop”. This diminutive device frees the music from your i-Thingy and gives it a fighting chance of sounding like something. Simply plug in, pair and listen. $199.00 MSRP.
