Number One meet the wizard Oz

Number One Audio Consultants' new designer showroom in Holly Walk Leamington Spa is taking shape as it promises to be a creative and exciting environment for everyone interested in audio, home theatre, custom installation or just exquisite design.

In prominent place will stand five stainless steel and glass plinths featuring the best audio and video equipment in the region. Lighting is also a key consideration with focused spotlights highlighting  products, whilst creating the ideal conditions for projection, plasma and LCD displays.

A fascinating talking point is sure to be an artwork centrepiece created by Leamington Spa's exciting new talent - Paul Oz. Gary White, co founder of Number One Audio first saw Paul's work at Warwick Studios in Leamington Spa and was instantly transfixed, immediately commissioning Paul to create an original piece for Number One Audio's showroom. Paul said "I visited the showroom with Gary the other day and can see there's nothing like it - it's going to create a great feel and I can't wait to get started on this new piece".

Shop-fitting works are set to be finished by 10 October, with the audio team completing installation, testing and display of equipment a week or so later. Official opening is set for the week commencing 20 October with a launch party the following  week - so watch this space or email consultant@numberoneaudio.co.uk for more details. 

Sneaky at Number One

As builders make way for our interior designers and shop fitters the Number One Audio team has been preoccupied this past week fine tuning our stock list. As well as familiar turntable and CD sources we are determined to make sure our customers understand and can enjoy the convenience of the latest digital streaming technology in "better than CD" audiophile quality. 

Our in-store demonstration kit includes Linn's  Majik DS, Akurate DS and Linn Sneaky Music DS. The Sneaky Music DS is a brilliant piece of technology giving customers the opportunity to experience the musical brilliance of this new format. Sneaky Music DS includes player and amplifier in a single compact unit for £995.00. Simply hook it up to loudspeakers and your digital home network to access the music files stored on your PC or laptop hard drive. Sneaky Music  DS reads all common digital audio formats including uncompressed FLAC for instance, opening up the possibility of downloading music at studio master quality, such as the superb recordings available at Linn Records. The beauty of the system is that as your digital music collection grows you can add additional storage space such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device which can be conveniently located anywhere in your home with network access. At last, the ease of a digital format with audiophile-grade quality.

If you're at ease with new technology and you love music this product is for you.
