1946 The first step toward pure audio.

Osaka Denki ONKYO K.K. is established and begins manufacturing phonograph pickups. The CP-1000—the first product to bear the ONKYO brand—goes on sale. It retails for ¥300—this in a period when the average monthly income is ¥500.  During the early phases of its history, Onkyo grew as an innovator and fashioned itself into a force in audio, making the name Onkyo synonymous with sonic excellence and high-quality loudspeakers and components. Through the 70's, Onkyo receivers were critically acclaimed. The products of the 80's, including cassette tape decks, M-series amplification, turntables, AM/FM tuners like the T-909 and T-9990 along with receivers garnered acclaim from critics and consumers.  And now in 2012 Onkyo has some simply unbelievable value for money and class leading two channel audio products that we all should take notice of!

Once the Marantz CD6004/PM6004 combination was the range to have, however Onkyo has Marantz beaten on price performance, resolution, power and much more!  We have this system on permanent demonstration, we like it that much!

Some eBay sellers and discounters may not be selling fresh UK supplied and guaranteed stock.  If it  looks to good to be true, it probably is!  We only sell Hi Fi, nothing else, we specialise in Hi Fi and we have a direct Hi Fi dealer account with Onkyo UK, and that is where every piece of Onkyo Hi Fi will come from, if you buy from us.  You also get the full benefit of the two year Onkyo UK warrantee.


Onkyo C-S5VL SACD/CD Player

A CD and SACD player at this price? This must have the Marantz CD6004 quacking in its low resolution boots!  Why buy the Marantz when it can't play SACD ?

Super Audio CD Playback Creates the Sensation of Being There. Sampling audio signals at a rate 64 times higher than CD, Super Audio CD gives you the closest possible approximation of being in the same room as the musicians. Little wonder, then, that it has established itself as the audiophiles’ format of choice. Now, with the C-S5VL, Onkyo makes quality audio more accessible than ever. The C-S5VL is a stellar playback solution for Super Audio CD—as well as regular CDs and WMA- or MP3-encoded discs The C-S5VL incorporates Onkyo’s VLSC™ technology, along with high-end Wolfson® DACs, to ensure a pristine conversion of the audio signal from digital to analog. Meanwhile, a high-precision crystal oscillator and jitter-cleaner device work together to stabilize the clock frequency. You get meticulous timing for all digital signals and hence beautifully clear separation of musical instruments. So, if you want to get serious about digital audio playback, open your ears to the C-S5VL.

Onkyo A-9377 Amplifier 90 watts per channel

Classic Analogue Amplification for Dedicated Two-Channel Audio with 90 watts per channel.  Why buy the Marantz PM6004 when it only produces 60 watts per channel (manufactures figures into four ohms)

For decades, the Onkyo name has been synonymous with hi-fi components that deliver consistently excellent audio results. That
expertise is clearly on display in the A-9377, an integrated amplifier that delivers 90 watts per channel of pure musicality. Combining the benefits of a pre- and power amp in an integrated unit saves rack space while delivering true stereophile quality. Up to six audio inputs can be hooked up, including a CD player, a tuner, a turntable, and even an iPod (via an optional Dock for the iPod). A Record out Selector dial offers the convenience of recording from one source while listening to a different source through your speakers. Proprietary WRAT technology and discrete output stage circuitry ensure that audio signals on the A-9377 are amplified and output with an absolute minimum of interference. Driven by a massive power transformer and wrapped in a rigid, anti-resonant chassis, the A-9377 makes a worthy centrepiece for any dedicated audio system.
