The Vinyl, audio and hi-fi category has everything for the music lover and collector - from precious vinyl records and classic LP albums to modern sound systems, amplifiers, speakers and turntables. Here, rarities from greats such as The Beatles, David Bowie and Queen meet with odd pressings, collector's editions and unique objects.
The history of the vinyl record dates back to the 1940s, when it replaced the fragile shellac records. The LP (Long Play) was introduced in 1948 and revolutionised the music industry with longer playing time and improved sound quality. In the 1960s and 70s, the vinyl record reached its heyday, and many highly valued LPs from this era are now valuable collectors' items. Factors such as condition, edition, signature and rarity can make some records particularly desirable. In addition to music on vinyl and cassette tapes, there are also accessories and audio equipment that contribute to a complete listening experience.
You'll find both vintage and contemporary hi-fi equipment, with well-known brands such as Philips, Kenwood, Sony, Akai and Bose often featured. Many people find their complete stereo set, an analogue tape recorder, classic radios or modern speakers here.
