CLEARAUDIO BASIC V2 PHONO STAGE
Its predecessor, the basic plus, was a multiaward winner and with the V2 we’ve taken all of that coveted ‘Plus’ technology up a notch
There’s nothing basic about the basic V2 phono stage. Don’t be fooled by its cool, minimalist design.

Its predecessor, the basic plus, was a multiaward winner and with the V2 we’ve taken all of that coveted ‘Plus’ technology up a notch.
Jascha Heifetz, Charles Munch, & Boston Symphony Orchestra – Beethoven: Violin Concerto (in D) – Analogue Productions (RCA Living Stereo) 45RPM 2 Disc 180g Vinyl LP
When Jascha Heifetz stepped into the studio with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the result was nothing less than legendary. Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, a work of noble lyricism and timeless beauty, found in Heifetz a soloist of supreme technical command and aristocratic poise. His playing radiates both precision and passion, every phrase polished to brilliance yet never losing its expressive depth.
Charles Munch, the great French maestro, was a natural partner-bringing clarity, warmth, and a rhythmic lift that perfectly complements Heifetz’s elegance. The Boston Symphony, in its Living Stereo prime, provides a luminous orchestral backdrop, captured with the spacious, natural sound that made RCA recordings of the era so prized.

Buckingham Nicks – Buckingham Nicks (Rhino High Fidelity) 180G Vinyl LP
Buckingham Nicks, the only studio album by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as a duo, will be reissued for the first time.
Originally released in 1973 and unavailable for decades, the album has been sourced from the original analog master tapes for its long-awaited return to vinyl. Released on September 5, 1973, Buckingham Nicks quickly faded from commercial view but never disappeared from the cultural conversation. Recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and produced by Keith Olsen, the album introduced Nicks and Buckingham’s tightly wound harmonies and sharply contrasting songwriting voices across 10 tracks—ranging from the folk-rock shimmer of “Crystal” to the sunbaked strut of “Don’t Let Me Down Again.”
The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street – Mofi 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl Record
The Doobie Brothers Create Lasting Feel-Good Vibes on Southern-Leaning Toulouse Street: Breakthrough Includes “Listen to the Music,” “Jesus Is Just Alright,” and “Rockin’ Down the Highway”
Experience the 1972 Album in Definitive Sound: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Features Extraordinary Soundstages, Vivid Dynamics, and Natural, Airy Openness
1/4” / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
For all intents and purposes, Toulouse Street functions as the Doobie Brothers’ debut. Though it released a self-titled effort in 1971, the band admitted the latter album was rushed and reflected the results of a group that had barely spent any time together. Toulouse Street unfolded amid far more favorable circumstances. Overflowing with feel-good vibes, it also touted key lineup changes that proved crucial to the band’s success. And it’s how most listeners discovered Tom Johnston and Co., setting the stage for a dominant run during the Seventies that ultimately led to the Doobie Brothers’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
