Buying separates means selecting each part of your system individually, rather than relying on a single all-in-one unit to cover every function. The main advantage is flexibility: you can choose an amplifier from one brand, a turntable from another, and add a dedicated CD player or streamer as your needs change, building a system that genuinely reflects your listening habits rather than compromising across the board.

Separates also make it much easier to upgrade over time. Rather than replacing an entire system when you want better sound, you can simply swap out one component - say, moving from an entry-level amplifier to a more powerful integrated model - while keeping the rest of your setup intact. This approach is popular with enthusiasts who enjoy fine-tuning their system gradually as their budget and listening experience grow.

Our separates range covers every core building block of a Hi-Fi system, from amplifiers and turntables to digital streaming and CD players, so whether you're starting from scratch or adding to an existing setup, you'll find the right component here.
