Charisma Audio’s Vinyl Playback Range Landing in the UK
Canada's Charisma Audio can now offer its affordable wares to the UK's vinylistas.
Thanks to a new partnership with Sound Design Distribution (SDD), Charisma Audio's widely acclaimed vinyl replay range is now available in the UK.
Having built a reputation for excellence in hi-fi system design over twenty years, Charisma offers a proprietary range of MC cartridges, phono stages and turntable components.
Although the company now represents many of the most respected Hi-Fi brands in its home country, it reserves special affection for its proprietary designs.
Since 2000 Charisma Audio has offered its sensibly-priced vinyl replay components by specifying and procuring parts from expert manufacturers worldwide.
Charisma Audio produces its own MC, Reference and Signature Series of moving coil cartridges, Musiko Phono Stage and Musiko Turntable, Tone Arm, and Tone Arm cable - which is also available as a complete assembly.
Still guided by its founder, Bernard Li, who for over fourteen years was a contributing editor of 'Audiotechnique' (Hong Kong's leading audio magazine), Charisma Audio is a company built around a twenty-five-year love for vinyl.
SDD's Andy Baker told StereoNET:
Charisma Audio will prove to be a fantastic complement to the SDD product line-up, allowing our dealers to add audiophile vinyl replay capability to the fabulous talents of Kii Audio, Mola-Mola, Lumin, Grimm Audio and Accusound.
As of July 1st (Canada Day), Sound Design Distribution's retail partners will be able to offer the Charisma MC cartridge range and Musiko phono stage. These will be joined by the Musiko turntable/components and the new lower-cost ECO MC cartridge a month later. When complete, the Charisma range will offer options from £695 to £5,500 retail.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
