Crafted to an exceptionally high standard, the walnut burl veneer is available in a deep “high-gloss” finish, or in a lighter “satin” finish.

Cartridge Bundle Program

As exclusive UK distributors for Pro-Ject Audio Systems and Ortofon A/S, Henley Audio are perfectly positioned to make the best recommendation of a pick-up cartridge for your record player.
