Getting back into playing vinyl? Doug Brady Hi-Fi has the answers!

Demand for the latest Rega RP1 and RP3 turntables has seen Cheshire-based Hi-Fi retailer Doug Brady Hi-Fi dedicate a Rega Expert within the team to deal with the increasing volume of enquiries about the award winning British turntables. With both the Rega RP1 and Rega RP3 winning What Hi-Fi Best Turntable awards today, it looks like it is going to be a busy time for the new appointment!

Doug Brady Hi-Fi is one of the UK's top Hi-Fi experts and specialists and they are frequently consulted for advice on all Hi-Fi systems, from a budget turntable purchase to get back into vinyl, to large scale custom installations for homes and businesses. Doug Brady are turntable specialists with over 50 years of experience in the business, and have earned their reputation as one of the foremost authorities on home audio systems. Turntable enquiries are on the increase again, and the latest Rega RP3 turntables one of the most talked models.

The new Doug Brady Hi-Fi appointment has been dealing with enquiries about the latest lines of Rega RP1 and RP3 decks. "He's a great character and a great guy, and lives and breathes turntables. If there is something he doesn't know about the Rega RP1 and RP3, it's probably not worth knowing" says Doug Brady Hi-Fi MD Charles Clowes

It has been a good year for the British turntable manufacturer, with two What Hi-Fi Best Buy awards just received today. The brand had already won a best buy award in the 2010 reviews for the impressive Rega RP1, and it has retained its title in this year's awards, being the best turntables up to £400 by some margin. 

The upgrade to the Planar 3 turntable series; the new Rega RP3, has similarly won an award clinching the best turntable in the £400-£1000+ category. The attractive sleek designs of Rega RP1 and RP3 turntables has certainly added to the brands appeal, but it is the quality of the components which has set the brand ahead of the competition. " You get a lot of turntable for your money with Rega," points out Clowes

Vinyl may have had its ups and downs; however it is enjoying something of a revival as people are discovering old record collections, and celebrity DJs are inspiring a new generation to the sound quality and fun which can be had with records. With dedicated staff now on hand, Doug Brady can provide extra help to customers just starting out or when upgrading a new system, to get the most out of the latest Rega turntables and to incorporate them into an existing Hi-Fi set up.

Photo Canvases for Special Moments

For amateur photographers or professionals alike, capturing that special moment when a son plays his first football match, a daughter takes the lead role in the school play, or the whole family takes a swim with dolphins is the absolute essence of the art. But in the digital age it seems that social networking sites and hard drives are to be the only place for these special photographs and it’s very rare that we see our favourite photographs brought to life. However, one recent trend has seen people turning to canvas prints in order to decorate their homes with their favourite snaps and with the price of printing becoming more affordable it’s a trend that seems set to keep on growing.

Photo in Canvas is a company that has played a massive part in this movement and has been right on the cusp of the technological advancements that have contributed towards making canvas printing simpler, cheaper and higher quality, and the site now offers their customers the chance to have their favourite shots of family and friends hanging as a canvas in their homes as well as a fantastic choice of designs and online editing software.

The site has now managed to whittle down the process to 3 simple steps to a beautiful photo canvas. This means that there is now an incredibly simple process available even for beginners. If you would like to learn more about what the site has to offer then simply click here.
