Spiritland ↗

Equipment in use

Isonoe modified Spiritland’s Technics decks. Its contribution here includes specialist work on existing playback equipment.

  • DJ turntables: Isonoe-modified SL-1200 family; Audio-Technica AT-XP7 cartridges (Technics / Isonoe)
  • Rotary mixer: Model unspecified

Inside the system

At Spiritland, the equipment record identifies Living Voice Bespoke four-way horn-loaded satellites with 15-inch midbass. A horn-based approach can provide useful dynamic headroom, but aiming the speakers and balancing direct sound against room reflections remain central to shared listening.

Dante’s HiFi ↗

Equipment in use

Isonoe isolators support the Technics decks at Dante’s, helping separate the turntables mechanically from their surroundings.

  • Turntables / isolation: 1200-family decks on Isonoe isolators (Technics / Isonoe)

Inside the system

At Dante’s HiFi, the equipment record identifies Klipsch Cornwall. The loudspeakers set the starting point for coverage and placement. A plausible reason to choose a dedicated hi-fi installation here is to give records a clear presence without relying on background-music speakers alone.

Bar Shiru ↗

Equipment in use

Bar Shiru lists ISONOE in its source / playback setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.

  • Rotary mixer: Custom ISO420

Inside the system

Bar Shiru’s system combines several speaker types with valve and solid-state amplification rather than imposing one chain on every listening position. The custom Isonoe mixer provides the control point for the analogue programme, with SME and VPI sources and Line Magnetic phono stages upstream.
