Welcome to Igloo Audio

These are truly exceptional speakers and perhaps the best way to experience the ATC sound signature. They are substantial but not overly so,fairly easy to position. I spent a fair amount of time experimenting with distance from the wall,toe in etc. In reality the end position was similar to the starting position which was a minor compromise between living room aesthetic and pure sound quality. They are neutral but not clinically so,there is a nice blend between studio clarity and warmth that makes listening enjoyable,non fatiguing. Bass is tight,has a physical presence but it is the mids that separate these speakers from the pack. I would describe these as non genre specific,they sound as good playing rock music as they do classical. They do have to be played at a decent volume to enjoy the clarity and depth they offer,and they don’t make poor recordings sound like anything other than poor recordings. Feed them a good quality source file and they sing. Mine are linked to a Gold Note streamer as a Roon end point and it is as good a combination as I can realistically afford. Customer service,advice,from Peter at Igloo was first class making the whole experience pleasurable. I will have many happy years with these speakers with no itch to upgrade,so an expensive investment that will prove to be a shrewd one.

I’ve been more than happy with Igloo Audio. My initial order arrived very quickly and they were very quick to respond to some follow up questions.

After connecting to the Quad Artera, beautiful music flowed from the focal speakers, which although I knew it perfectly, I listened to it as if for the first time. The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition is worth every penny. I would highly recommend.

Just to say that I am very happy with both the service that I received from Peter and team, my order was fulfilled with lightning speed and communication was excellent, the Eversolo dm6 master edition is everything I wanted and more, very happy customer. Thank you

Great looking cartridge but above all great precision, a bit too early (needs to play for a few hours) but I'm happy now!

An excellent product provided with excellent service. Very speedy and efficient delivery. Brilliant product. Fairly easy to set up with the new app excellent sound quality and has become my go to music server

What a sonic feast for the ears. A good bump up in Bass, from previous models of Hifiman Headphones I have tried. The Soundstage is extremely expansive. You can hear absolutely everything and pick out the placement of instruments with everything being projected with extreme clarity. The Mids are beautifully clean and comforting. The highs don't seem as bright as other models from Hifiman. I really do enjoy the overall sound and it has made me want to check out a lot more of my collection trying these Headphones instead of listening via Speakers. Highly Recommend and are probably on par with models that are a lot more expensive. A must buy at this price range.

Bought these as a bit of a gamble, just read the reviews and took a chance without auditioning them. Good decision !
Listening to them side by side with my old Monitor Audios... not a step change in sound but certainly more 'life' to the music.
I feared that driving them with an old 'average' amp was going to be a problem, but no, it coped with ease.
The music, especially live recordings are more natural, the individual instruments sound... 'individual' rather than compressed together to form the music. You certainly feel that instead of listening to the sound of the band... you are listening to the musicians in the band.
Love my Maggies...

Not my first Maggie speaker. These truly are excellent sounding speakers. Take time place them correctly for best results and you won't be disappointed. The base in my small room is deep and punchy. Certainly gives boxes a good run for money. Add the size of the stage. Vocals are amazing. I'm using a Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10/ Rega Apollo R CD. These Maggies are hard to drive and the amp certainly lets me know. Time for more power. And even better sound quality.

The reviews are right, this amp sounds great.
When first turned on it sounded good, after the first 5 hrs it sounded better. Now it’s done over 200hrs and it’s sounding great and still seems to be getting better, soundstage big and detailed, ultra linear has the edge on detail and separation but triode is just sweet and gets your feet tapping still with good detail and soundstage - I love this amp!

Wow, what can I say. I recently got back into vinyl after a 30+ year hiatus. After installing my Linn Sondek I knew I would want to treat her right by not torturing the Troika cartridge with grubby records so I picked up a Pro-ject VCS2 Alu, it sort of did the job on many LPs but it got awkward, the vaccuum was worryingly loud., the felt on the arm got wet which meant when the platter was slowing down during drying you had to retract the arm while the record was still moving otherwise you ended up with damp smudge marks on the vinyl. Also the results were not consistent so sometimes it felt like I was going through the motions for a shinier record but not necessarily a cleaner one. So I took my search online for something better and it seems there really is no better than the Degritter MKIi. It does everything, tells you everything and the results are amazing. I automatically clean every record I get now. I have cleaned records for a friend who has been over the moon with the results, infact he told me if had the chance to use one before he probably would have kept some of the records he sold on previously because of record noise. The most noticeable difference has been removing noise from both new and used records and pops from older records.
I couldn't be without it, my equipment and my records deserve being treated with care. It comes at a price but so does this hobby.
Thanks to Igloo for providing a top service and getting my unit to me very quickly and securely.

I have been fitting my listening room with acoustic panels and using this mic in conjunction with Room Equalisation Wizard (free) to measure progress. The MiniDSp works perfectly, although one needs a full sized mic stand to place the mic at exactly the right positions. Operating instructions of both the mic and REW are good, but it is quite steep learning curve - good fun though!

The Exposure sounds fantastic! Fairly neutral, perhaps with a slight warmth. I upgraded from a more entry level Rotel integrated and whilst at 3x the cost you would expect a significant improvement, I was taken aback by the vast difference. Much greater clarity and definition, improved dynamics and soundstage width, and I can just hear so much more in recordings. At 75w (not huge) the amp still sounds and feels very capable and has decent grip on bass. The only problem is it has now got me thinking about upgrading other components in my setup to keep pace. At this price I genuinely cannot think of any negatives.

Great headphones. Comfortable with an excellent sound particularly when used with equalisation from the RME ADI 2 DAC.

The DAC is sonically transparent with a noise and distortion floor well below the threshold of hearing, so I do not think the sound can be bettered at any price. It is also remarkably versatile whatever the source.

Swapped from a non-filtering distribution strip; difference was immediately apparent. Blacker background, music has more depth front to back. Tracks have greater 3D; instruments appear 3 dimensional, rather than a collection of instruments pasted on to a 2D canvass.

Track components also seem more articulate than without the 156, and the space of the recording is more apparent; the ambience of the room is easier to discern - greater atmosphere/emotion.

The PSM 156 to my mind should be considered a component, as important as any other in a system, it is that good.

Great product, no hyperbole, it does what it is advertised as doing. Now for Puritan's Grounding products

The previous reviews here have gone into ample detail on the capabilities of these headphones. I'm early in my burn-in journey but these headphones are such a welcome upgrade from my previous classically driven headphones. The clarity is phenomenal, I've paired them with a Matrix Audio Elements x2 dac/amp/streamer and they're absolutely shining.

I'd always been warned that planars felt significantly heavier, especially with long use, but I've had these on all day while working and have noticed no difference from wearing other headphones like HD660s/HD800s, the HE-1000s are a beautifully designed piece of kit with fantastically ergonomic head fitting and exceptional soundstage and quality.

The element x2 streamer is a meticulously designed unit with exceptional sound and fantastic software, I plugged it in to my HDMI source (ARC), connected the network cable and it immediately sprang into action, did a self update to the latest-and-greatest firmware and then immediately got out of my way so I could get down to business.

My Hifiman HE-1000 v2 headphones absolutely shine with the x2, the clarity and soundstage of the combination is absolutely stunning.

The integration with local audio sources and Tidal streaming services worked seamlessly and took me seconds to setup via the Matrix mobile app.

Can't recommend this unit enough, understated but exceptionally qualified piece of kit.

What can you say about Igloo audio that has not been said before. Kept up to date on the order received regular updates and arrived on time as communicated by the team at Igloo Audio. My go to Hi FI shop.

Took a few days to break them in but I love these headphones- great upgrade to my Grado 325e (and more comfortable). Service from Igloo was first class - arrived next day.

Igloo Audio were superb from start to finish of this transaction. Outstanding communication, knowledge and before and after purchase care, offering their 5% on this my first purchase and delivery all the way to Argyle and Bute, Scotland free. The ATCSCM40 passives have transformed my system offering, more clarity, exposure, timing and insight into my chosen source subjects. I'm listening to mainly vocals, acoustic and amplified instrumentation through my speakers, therefore don't need bass heavy speakers, however these produce plenty. They do require more juice from the amplifiers, so definitely 150w per channel plus. The cabinet stand (angled and integrated), spikes and magnet grill are top notch and protect those stunning (made in England) drivers and beautiful 75mm mid (star of show make). The 3-way binding posts were a bit of a tight fit with my double x NBS jumpers, but all running superbly. These speakers also have spot on dimensions for smaller rooms and the cherry finish is better in the flesh than adverts. ATC also make registration available and warranty. Recommended A+++++

Was a day behind posting due to event over weekend but was very honest great comms great service thanks

Having read several reviews that were consistent in their very positive view of the Puritan, I decided to take the plunge and buy one. Any regrets? Absolutely not. This thing is quite simply superb in my system consisting of a WT Versalex, Leben CS600 and Harbeth P3s. It does what the maker claims and the reviews reflect. Very pleased.

Having purchased a Puritan PSM156 from Igloo and getting great results I decided to move all my mains cables to the Puritan classic. Igloo informed me that the cables would need to be made up but would arrive before Xmas (2022) as I ordered a week before Xmas. As promised the cables arrived on the 23rd, excellent service and they have made a difference, very pleased overall

I have maybe taken the slightly unorthodox choice of pairing the 3510 mono blocks with the Exposure 2510 integrated amp as opposed to using the 3510 pre amp. I have found that the mono blocks add more grip and authority to the 2510, with additional detail to the lower mid and bass frequencies with a pleasant feeling of effortlessness when turning the volume up.
I was happy with the performance of the 2510 on its own but adding the 3510 mono blocks have taken it to the next level. As being used with high sensitivity loudspeakers I was keen to preserve the reserved quality of the 2510 in the high frequencies, enjoying that it's presentation is not too harsh or fatiguing (possibly owing to its passive pre amp section). I was pleased to find that this quality remained intact when partnering with the 3510 monos, which offer a slightly warm but detailed listening experience not unlike the 2510 but more expansive with additional weight to the sound. Overall I have found them be very nuanced performers and a welcome addition to existing set up. Very recommended for those who already enjoy the Exposure sound and are looking to upgrade or those seeking a fuller, wider presentation.

Mains products are hit or miss but having several components with Toroidal Transformers I have been plagued but Transformer hum, watched a YouTube review of the PSM156 so took a chance, Igloo had a great deal and the unit arrived within a day or two. Plugged everything in and silence, no hum at all, then as I played some music I got improvement in detail, sound floor, cannot recommend enough

I bought these whilst they were on offer from the original £2500 price. What’s even better, on the first order from Igloo Audio, you can get 5% off when you sign up to their newsletter.

Customer support is great, fast support and always receive shipping updates from them and the courier.

So far i’m 110 hours of burn in into these headphones out of the recommended 180 - 200 hours on the hifiman site. The headphones have changed 5 times so far; It sounds like a completely different unit from the first 40 hours.

Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend this company and this hifiman model.

Hi, after consulting with Peter at Igloo Audio I eventually took delivery of a pair of Graham Audio LS6f's (Chartwell monitors).
They are finished in natural rosewood and the finish is stunning.
Sound quality is remarkable. The main word that kept coming to mind as I went through my music recordings was "correctness".
I have owned several pairs of loudspeakers both dynamic and panel loudspeakers.. The LS6f's are on a different level. They are natural, non fatiguing but also very revealing and as stated earlier sound "correct". They can be used very near the front wall and toed in towards the listening position. I don't use the spikes. They are a loudspeaker you connect up and then just focus on your music, whatever genre that may be. At last, the end of the upgrading path.

I have found the 2510 to be an excellent sounding amplifier and great value for the money. I have used it with high efficiency loudspeakers and have found the volume high enough, but those with harder to drive speakers may find they need more power than the 75wpc available. The sound is most expansive in the mid ranges with slightly rolled off treble and a nice thick sounding bass, although not the most detailed bass you'll find. Where this amplifier excels is it's beautiful tone, it's got the most amazing natural sound which is slightly warm - rather like a good valve amp. You can listen for hours without fatigue but still access all the dynamism, depth and soundstage of a high end amplifier.

High quality built, very pleasure my amps have new stands, very solid and stable, good sound as well.

My criteria for any loudspeaker is that it can reproduce acoustic instruments (and voices) with some degree of believability.

From the start the LS8/1's showed promise, and have improved considerably in the short while I have had them. Whilst sceptical about many claims made for "hi-fi" components there does seem to be some truth in the idea of running in (these) loudspeakers. An initial slight brashness has become (already) a sweet edge on string instruments (especially solo violin) Of course much of this depends on the actual recorded quality which in most cases we can only guess at! Vocals can already be excellent. Wind and brass instruments are also nicely "drawn"

The speakers seem capable of reproducing percussion instruments quite convincingly, with adequate power and considerable detail.

I have had experience of high-quality analogue and digital equipment including many recording sessions. I think these loudspeakers would fit in well in that environment.

I already rate these as very good, and am hoping they continue to improve. Very few loudspeakers really get close to my criteria. These seem to be a good attempt, and to my ears, among a select few which (for some music) could be used as a genuine reference.

They do exactly what we wanted. The combination with our Spendor A2s sound fabulous in our little room.

This power supply with the gold note ph10 does what it saiys on the tin 2 phono ports for ppl that have 2 turntables .sound is good placement of power supply leave a good space from amp

Recently purchased Elac Vela Speakers.
Excellent service, knowledgeable
experiece from Peter, Highly recommended.

Great service from Igloo: excellent communication from Peter and swift delivery.

The machine itself is every bit as brilliant as I hoped. Really enjoying being able to clean my collection without hassle. Plus, the configurability of the Degritter has really moved the game on from earlier gen ultrasonic cleaners.

I have found the Puritan 156 to be a great success. I am running a Lumin streamer to a pair of monobloc valve amps and active stereo subs. The Puritan removed all hums and buzzes from the power amps and I perceive a noticeable 'tightening' of the bass - and perhaps a better soundstage too. And it is great to be able to run the entire system through one mains socket and be confident enough to leave it permanently switched on. Highly recommended.

I purchased these speakers on a sale or return basis, as they weren’t available for dealer audition. I was particularly interested in both the vocal and acoustic instrument performance - I replacing my outgoing B&W 705 s2 speakers. Initially I was unconvinced, as seemed initially a little reticent at first, but as the days wore on they opened up and not only gave the characteristics I was looking for, but also a bigger soundstage than the B&W’s. They perform well with LP, CD & Streaming sources and work superbly with my Naim Nova (& Gold Note P10 in particular). The presentation gives real depth and placement of instruments, so that the overall performance is very satisfying. Thumbs up to Igloo for securing them and delivering so quickly..Excellent Customer Service.

Hifiman HE1000 SE almost as good as my Susvara ( also supplied by Igloo ) and much easier to drive . Great product , great service as always . Both highly recommended

These speakers produce a highly detailed, elegant sound with surprising depth given how tiny they are. I adjusted tone settings on my Denon M38 (bass enhancement) and they performed much better. Expensive but if you want high quality detailed sound and you have limited space for speakers then these are outstanding.

A turntable upgrade has been long overdue and after speaking with Peter and taking into account my current system he recommended the Clearaudio Concept MC. The record player is a thing of beauty and so easy to set up. The build smacks of quality engineering so you know it is going to sound great. Within a few moments we were playing vinyl and the sound was amazing. The vocals came alive, with warmth and depth, with instruments clearly defined. Record after record was played and the enjoyment just got better and better. I cannot recommend this turntable highly enough.

The Goldnote PH-10 arrived this morning is now up an running and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Despite the fact it will need to run in I have just played the Eagles "Hotel California" from the When Hell Freezes Over album. I have always considered this to be an good pressing but wow it has never sounded like this.

This is a truly remarkable product in many ways. The build quality and finish are excellent; the very precise control it allows over your power amp without any hint of distortion and the pure transparency of the sound it produces are a joy to behold! Highly recommend an audition of this Preamp.....Superb!

I also want to add that the customer service I received from Igloo Audio was second to none. Every step of the transaction, from the Trade- in to the arrival of the new PreAmp at my door was handled in a very professional and courteous manner, with excellent communications from Peter ensuring everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Igloo audio, and will definitely purchase from them again.

There is a lot I could say about the ADOT kit, but for me the most important thing is that it provides a comprehensive, safe and reliable entrée into into optical connection of audio equipment. There's a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide showing you how all the components connect. Most importantly, this is backed up by excellent support. I did need to talk to the support guy and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. And that’s the value here. Yes, you can buy the individual components more cheaply from electronics suppliers (and Amazon for that matter), but if you are new to this stuff you wouldn’t have the ‘how to’ guide or the specialised audio/HiFi support.

The ADOT clearly demonstrates what an optical link can do to clean-up an internet connection. All aspects of sound quality are improved, making streamed music nigh on indistinguishable from local CD or SACD playback. I’m a big fan of Qobuz Hi-Rez streaming and I now view an optical connection as essential to get the best sound - you can really hear the difference something like 24/96 resolution makes.

Iglooaudio supplied these headphobes in good time woth supeeb communications when DPD nearly dropped the ball by water damging the package...Igloo kept us well informed with the reassurance of assistance shpuld the product be defective.....Highly recommended!!

The Lindemann Limetree Bridge provides a high sound quality input to a good DAC for streaming from a NAS or on-line services. Matched with Graham Slee equipment (Majestic and Proprius) it sounds superb, and even matches in appearance.
The dedicated control app may be a little clunky but works reliably.
Highly recommended!

excellent quality - robust

excellent sounding product - perfect for my purposes!

I ordered the CLEARAUDIO CONCEPT MC TURNTABLE PACKAGE & Cover from Igoo. Peter engaged me straightaway and discussed my requirements and explained as it was Made to Order there could be up to an 8 week wait. I was happy with this and Peter kept me updated through the process. The Items were delivered and I have to say it was well worth the wait. The Clearaudio is a brilliant piece of kit. The build quality is fabulous and it comes fully configured and is so easy to set up and get going. Literally just plug & play. I cannot recommend this product and Igloo highly enough.

The BBC style monitor speaker seemed to fit my needs - retro style, emphasis on clarity but with just enough bottom end. After reading several online reviews I decided to buy without auditioning, safe in the knowledge that Peter at Igloo Audio would let me return if I was unhappy. Well the speakers are everything and more than I could have wished for. More lower frequencies than I expected, super clean mids. Solid and beautifully made in the UK. Very impressed not only with the speakers but also with the service and advice from Peter at Igloo. Many thanks.

This is a well built and substantial unit . Initial impressions are an overall improvement to clarity, timing and a sense of ease to the sound that makes listening fun. Improvement to percussive sounds, particularly drums, cymbols and piano are marked.

My first experience with these cables was with my Puritan mains purifier and I was impressed with the build and the cable didn’t seem to restrict the performance of the other cables plugged into the Puritan mains purifier. The rest of my system uses Gutwire mains cables, which have proven a good match in general, but I was struggling to get a balanced sound from my Gold Note DS-10 with PS-10 and I’ve found digital components to be highly affected by physical isolation and mains, so I decided to try this Puritan cable. After a few hours burn-in the Gold Note is noticeably more balanced with a generally more realistic presentation. I compared Dave Brubeck’s Time Out to my reference 45rpm vinyl edition and the Gold Note was suddenly much closer to the ideal tonal balance and more able to hint at the nuances in every instrument that the vinyl front-end so readily serves up. A great value solution to a distracting problem. Mains cables are very component and system specific so it may or may not work for you, but if you have a similar problem, it’s a relatively low cost way to try and treat it.

Superb service from Igloo as usual.

Very happy with the build and sound quality of the matrix audio mini-I 3 pro. Very flexible unit regarding sources. Also happy with the service and order progress updates I received from Igloo audio. Highly recommended

These are tiny wonders. To be honest, I wasn't expecting these to be as good as they are. I don't really have any criticisms. If you take into account the fact the boxes are small, you can't really expect cavernous bass, but there's never a sense the bass is lacking, unlike other small speakers I've used. They're really punchy and exciting, but also fine at low volume. I bet in years to come we'll look back on this model as a masterpiece.

The service from Igloo was, as usual, exemplary. My favourite hifi dealer nowadays.

Purchased this after a recommendation from my local retailer for doing Dirac on my home cinema
Very simple too download onto pc works perfectly 👍

I’d dabbled with mains conditioners about twenty years ago and found they all compressed dynamics, turning music into a clean but lifeless lump.

More recently I noticed that my system often sounded better late at night and could sound flat at other times. We have plenty of digital kit in our household these days and I wondered whether mains conditioning had come on in the last twenty years. All the reviews I could find spoke positively about the Puritan and the price seemed fair, so I took the plunge. As ever, Igloo’s service was fast and comms were great.

The Puritan is a revelation! I can honestly say that if you do not have this mains conditioner in your system and your mains are anything like mine, then you are not hearing what your system can do. The changes in my system were not subtle. Every instrument gained more space, layers of complex percussion could be heard rising and disappearing with long sustain. The improvements were very noticeable from my £20K vinyl front-end and even more noticeable on my much more humble Gold Note digital front-end. Scale improved and new details were evident. It didn’t make it a match for the vinyl front-end and it didn’t change the underlying tone of the streamer/DAC but it did bring its scale a step closer to the vinyl spinner.

I’ve recommended the Puritan to my audiophile friend who’s recently ordered one from Igloo, so it will be interesting to hear his experiences in a very different system to mine and in a different part of the country.

The Evo PSU has been deployed with my DS-10 since I bought the latter, so I don’t have a comparison with a base DS-10, but I can say that the PSU ensures the DS-10 is ghostly quiet and gives plenty of room around instruments. It doesn’t turn the DS-10 into a dynamics monster though.

This is my first experience of streaming and it’s proving a great facility to try new albums and artists and to fill gaps in my collection. I tried a NAD C658 prior to buying the DS-10 and found it very uneven-handed, sounding good on hi-res but flat on 16/44. The DS-10 with Evo PSU is much more consistent. It produces an open and friendly sound with excellent imaging. The sound lacks the dynamics and grandeur of that from my much more expensive vinyl front-end, but that’s the case with every digital device I’ve used. Overall, for casual listening and exploring new material, it’s very good value, well made and easy to use. One issue I’ve had is that I have limited bandwidth and the DS-10 doesn’t cache the stream if you pause it so I sometimes have problems playing 24/192 streams, which is frustrating.

SCM19 loudspeakers,very interesting
Before I had the atc's I had my LS50
For listening,to hi fi.A good speaker
detail,imaging very acceptable.
playing the 19,the sound is so much
bigger,the speakers seem to disappear. For myself it's the way the
music is presented rather than the
frequency response,although detail
is superb very smooth.it's difficult
to relay the sound to words very satisfied with the 19's
Best Regards R Jones

A pleasure to do business with Igloo. Appreciated that Peter seems happy to offer advice without any hard selling. Made it easy to buy a pair of speakers that are clearly very well made and sound really good. So I am a happy customer and happy to recommend Peter and ATC.

Fantastic speakers. Big sound for such a compact speaker. Need a decent amp unquestionably. Quite prevalent in the 150 - 350 Hz area I would say. Satin black finish is splendid. Great service from Peter at Igloo.

Excellent product and the service from Igloo Audio was excellent.Very easy to recommend this 5 star company

I have made previous purchases with Peter at Igloo Audio and always received a first class service snd Would recommend his shop without hesitation.
My latest purchase has been the Chord Hugo2 which I have for a few weeks and I feel its now burnt in.
This is not cheap portable headphone amp but it feels class and has performance to match.
Needs to be paired with suitable quality cables headphones and source and you will be rewarded with some of the most transparent and natural sound availability in this sector.

My search for amplification enough to drive some ATC SCM40s led me to call Peter at Igloo Audio. Really glad I did.

He took time to enquire about my listening environment and what I was looking for in terms of sound quality etc. So glad I considered his recommendation for an Exposure 3010 series integrated amp. I ended up going for this pre-amp and these matching mono blocks. They make an excellent partnership and I think they must be 'tuned' together or something because they work so well.

The ultimate recommendation was by my OH who immediately commented on our first listen how clear and enjoyable the music was -delighted. This is turning me into a music first kind of HiFi fan. Love it!

I currently own a Linn Sondek turntable with an Akito arm and AT440MLb cartridge, with a pair of Epos K3 loudspeakers.
These were originally being used with a Roksan Blak amplifier with my HP laptop connected via an Audio Quest Cinnamon USB lead for streaming music.

On connecting the Sprout, the difference was immediate, with a superb soundstage, deep and defined bass extension with the higher frequencies showing extreme clarity without any fatigue.
I find myself constantly playing my vinyl, exploring the nuances and details on each record I had not yet heard. The phono stage is MM and needs no phono amp [I tested it with my Simaudio Moon 110lp phono amp to no benefit] while the DAC is fantastic at extracting every bit of information.
By comparison, I found the Blak a little harsh on the higher frequencies and the bass a little confused making it difficult to identify the bass guitar apart from the bass drum. Not so with the Sprout.
The delivery and timing have great weight and a real punch. This may be a diminutive piece of kit but it punches way beyond its appearance and accommodates all the inputs I need at a price which shames comparable amplifiers at three or four times its price.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Careful speaker matching is very necessary. I will recommend Bookshelf speakers over Floorstands.

I bought these headphones to see if cheaper planar types were any good. In short, they are. detail retrieval is excellent, the imaging is not too narrow and there is a real sense of spaciousness about the sound. However, for me as a glasses wearer the comfort is not quite there. The pressure from the headband is quite high and after a while can become uncomfortable. I suspect this would not be so much of an issue for someone not wearing glasses.

The Lindemann Limetree Bridge, like the other items in the series, will not be winning any beauty contests and may look a little out-of-place nestling beside traditional amplifiers. That is the worst thing I have to say.

Coupled with a Chord Qutest DAC, the sound quality produced by this humble-looking little box is astonishing. Deep, melodious and taut bass with no hint of boom. Excellent midrange clarity allows you to finally understand song lyrics. Sparkling crisp top end really lets you hear how rimshots on a high hat really sound!

The Android control app is stable and provides speedy assured control of the unit. Press 'Pause' on the app and the music really does stop right away. This is an important 'Plus' for the Limetree as there is no alternative remote control wand.

The combination of the Limetree Bridge and Chord Qutest put far more expensive streamers such as the Naim NDX 2 to shame in terms of pure audio performance. If you can live with the rather dowdy looks, then do not hesitate!

brilliant sound from attractive speakers.
Excellent customer service

I upgraded from a Bluesound Node 2i and after reading good reviews I took a leap of faith on the Aries G1. It's expensive, granted but I didn't want to spend Innous kind of money and have to pay for Roon and so this fitted the bill.

There is no DAC inside but running into my current setup there was an apparent amount of extra detail and a bigger sounds stage and music became more dimensional.

The lightning DS App is great for control and even though the bluesound is amongst the best this is just as good. Feature wise the G1 has plenty and I've made use of the parametric eq enabling my to shape the sound especially at low volumes where the bass and treble need a bit of a lift.

All in all, expenaive but worth it.

I have had these for a couple of weeks now, and I just can't stop listening to them, the mid range and treble are supurb and the bass is really tight, a perfect match for my Hegel amp.
As usual the service Peter offers is second to none.

I placed three Oreas underneath my preamp/processor and noticed an immediate improvement to the sound. More extension and definition to the bass, more detail to the mid-range and treble, and improved prescence to the reproduction of whatever was playing.
The feet cost 1.5% of the cost of the processor, so they have proved a very worthwhile investment imo.
This begs the question why the manufacturers can't fit, as standard, feet which match the status of their products?

Having owned a large number of amplifiers over the years, I can confidently say that this is the best integrated amp. I’ve heard- great timing, great detail and very musical. It’s also incredibly dynamic which is very apparent when playing some classical symphonic discs. Service and support from Igloo Audio was exemplary as indeed was customer support from Exposure

Needing to replace my 40 year old 40w Crimson Elektrik 520 power amplifier being fed from my Exposure 17 pre amp was always going to be a hard ask. Peter gave sound guidance and the reasoning behind that thought process to aid my decision. So much was discussed over the telephone due to covid 19. Room size listening distance and partnering equipment all played a part in keeping the standard I was used to and improving on it. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Soundstage and control has improved immeasurably and the overall effect is perfect. With the Exposure 3010S2 power amp I now have an infinitely more pleasurable listening experience. Thank you Peter, I shall when circumstances allow be arranging a visit to further explore how I may better my mains electric feed.

As a long time user of the mighty P3ESR speakers, which offer so much of the Harbeth fabled midrange, I was hesitant about needing to spend anymore for another pair of speakers.
Then came along covid-19 and made me realise life was too short for regrets.
Having chatted with Peter and finding out that Harbeth only had two pairs of the 30.2's left available to buy ... I pulled the trigger.
The purchase was easy and smooth with Igloo Audio and I was pleased to see them turn up on the day promised.
Ok ... so a couple of weeks in and listening to the 30.2's the easiest thing to say is that they sound like the P3ESR's only bigger ... by that I mean soundstage, bass, volume ... I could just go on.
When I look at them and the P3's side by side I'm thinking big brother and little brother together and to me that's what they sound like.
Give them space and plenty of watts and you will be rewarded.
Acoustic music is a delight on them as is male and female voice. I have a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento speakers which I have always found to be amazing with piano ... the 30.2's are right up there with them.
No getting away from the fact these speakers are expensive and that you can buy other makes for much less - but as I said earlier if covid-19 has demonstrated anything to all of us then it's that life is fragile and too short to have regrets.
Buy with confidence Harbeth's from Igloo Audio.

The 2GO produces superb results with Hugo2. The Chord software, for the 2Go, is limited but alternative apps are available.

Being at the wrong end of the wrong 60’s, sadly, the weakest link in my music system is me. In deference to the neighbours it has become necessary to invest in headphones to whack the volume up a notch. I am very happily amazed at the clarity and the detail that emerge from the cans; detail that simply was not there whenever the neighbours were out and the speakers were rocking the foundations!

1. It did the job - great product for those like me who have an audio pc and need to connect it to sp dif input. My Stello was a great product and the Matrix was more than an adequate replacement.
2. The sound was different, I thought. It was more detailed ("clinical" and with more defined stereo. My test was Miles Davis Kind of Blue on CD. Cannonball Adderley's alto sax was particularly distinctive. Well pleased and would recommend to those with similar needs.

Not a tweak. No question major upgrade to system
Improved all aspects of soung. Nessesity rather than luxury.

In my humble opinion and undoubtedly the best upgrade to what already was a great sound
The music just breaths. Better imaging and sound stage
Very highly recommended

Hi I listen to a lot electric jazz certain labels like ECM ACT VERVE BLUE NOTE sound stunning.Best upgrade so far.M.Alexander

What can i say about these speakers that has not already been written. Only my journey i've been through Dynaudio, Buchardt and PMC bookshelf speakers and i've finally settled on these.

They have a great amount of detail and the way they reproduce music is just lovely. I'm hearing things in my music i never heard before. Separation and soundstage just lovely. I have a very small room where i work and chill (2.5m x 2.2m) and they sound just a good sat at my desk 60cm away from the speakers as on my couch 1.5m away. For nearfield and very nearfield, highly recommended.

They are also good for low level listening, although they do benefit from being given a bit of power and they open up more.

If they have limitations, it's that they have limited bass, not as limited as some i have tested, but limited. I will be using a subwoofer with them. They also allegedly need plenty of power. I have a PS Audio Stella Gain Dac and S300 Power Amp. It clearly drives them loud enough. I will at some point move to class A/B amplification with more headroom as I feel there is more to come from these speakers.

A lovely cable , very tunefull, works well with my Naim CDX5 to Naim DAC.

I connected the S Booster to my Arcam r Head amplifier and the sound improved in every way.
Even though it cost more than the amp, it was a very good purchase.

Powered by Sbooster, paired with Mac Mini via USB / Roon And Technics SL 1500C turntable. Marantz PM8006 amplifier and KEF R300 speakers
After listening to music through multichannel AVR’s for the last 20 years, this box has really opened my eyes to stereo and how music should sound. Be it digital or vinyl, the Mytek, opens up the sound stage and delivers crispness and detail to everything thrown at it. This device, with its ease of use and high performance has revived my love in my music collection and I am enjoying discovering details I never new were there. Thanks also to the people at Igloo for their personal attention and interest in processing this order, they really went the extra mile. Excellent product, excellent service, highly recommended.

Purchased this to replace my old NAS device, transferred all of the music over to the LUMIN form my existing Drive no issues. Plugged the drive into my network it self configured, scanned the music to build the library once complete was able to stream via my Auralic with no issues, the real plus point for me was how quiet it is.
The Lumin as advertised is minimal setup, it really is plug and play & enjoy....

This high quality linear power supply is quite large. But is designed to a optimal standard. With many state of the art components. Will enhance any audio equipment needing a 5volt supply

The Sbooster brought about immediate and obvious sonic improvements over that of the stock SMPSU supplied with my Chord Hugo TT2. Top marks to Iglooaudio for their pre sales support and communication.

I bought this to replace an aging Exposure XXV. The improvement in clarity for all instruments is quite remarkable. The DAC card is also very worthwhile – it’s given a new lease of life to my old CD player.
Excellent advice and service from Igloo.

Highly musical DAC and excellent pre-amp,no such thing as bargain but this comes pretty close. Hasn’t really been switched off since I received it.
Peter is very friendly, knowledgeable and happy to give his time to sort any issues.
Will no doubt be buying from Igloo again!

Excellent sounding preamp, good prompt service from igloo

My best purchase so far in my audio career. For the small room I have they produce more information and enjoyment than all of the many speakers that have gone before them!

First rate service and first rate product

Wow, these speakers have given me a whole new listening experience. This was further enhanced once my speaker stands arrived. Well worth a listen.

I am absolutely delighted with this player as it sits in the " hard to find " category . I have high quality systembasvd around Primare & PMC but wanted a half size high performance CD Drive to replace a standby Marantz .FM /DAB built in would be a plus & I was not unduly concerned to have streaming. This player is the only high spec player that fitted the bill. I linked the drive to my P60 via silver digital co-ax & was amazed at the huge uplift in performance.
Igloo Audio were superb thought keeping me in touch with regular updates as this player is made to order in Germany. Overall I cannot see how Igloo's service could have been bettered or more customer friendly. One Happy customer !

Have had this for just under a month and am very impressed. It is used with a sony dvd player and focal clear headphones with the included balanced cable. I have found this to be a very good pairing with the clears with excellent transient speed and detail, quite forgiving with lower quality source for example youtube from ipad and great for movies. Plenty of power in reserve if you have high impedence headphones, had no problem with my hd600s. Would definitly recommend.

There is no better power amp. Really. I have a pair of these driving the big Graham Audio LS5/8 speakers, and the combination is simply wonderful.

Truly transparent: I am listening to my recordings, not to the equipment.

The little AHB2-s have replaced a pair of beefy Sugden Masterclass MPA-4 Class A monoblocks. The difference in clarity, separation, soundstage, and overall control over the whole frequency range from sub-bass rumbles to hi-hat splashes is night and day. There is not a trace of distortion over the whole frequency range, at any and all volumes.

The AHB2 has killed Class A. At half the price.

I have been a customer of Peter's here at Igloo for several years now, and enjoy his enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge of the hifi landscape. A purchase decision is always a two-way conversation, and he has saved me from foolishness on more than one occasion. He is, like me, unimpressed by over-priced audiophile voodoo, and his nicley curated offerings reflect that practical dedication to
the authentic reproduction of the recording for maximum enjoyment of the music.

And that is why he is one of the only hifi dealers in the country offering Benchmark's outstanding kit. These little beauties are not over-priced, not power-hungry, have a discrete livingroom-friendly footprint and take control of a speaker like no other. They are, after all, the amplifiers of choice in the studios of the professionals who make the recordings we listen to.

You won't need another power amplifier.

First rate service and advice. Peter’s caring approach without bias was influential in me deciding to purchase my cables through him. Could not expect any better. Cables arrived within two days. The PS Audio AC5 cables made a significant difference to the sound quality and imagery of my system. They out performed cables costing significantly more including one costing 8 times as much. Great product and great service.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT WHEN PAIRED WITH THE STELLAR S300 STEREO AMP.
