Pro-ject Audio Vinyl NRS Box S3 £289
For the vinyl collector, this ingenious box of tricks connects between your turntable and amplifier and uses advanced digital sound processing to remove the crackle associated with old, well-loved records. The signal from the turntable is digitised in the box to a hi-res 24-bit/96khz digital format, before a processor dampens the clicks for a cleaner sound. Pro-ject calls it ‘de-crackling’ and claims it can reduce the crackling volume by up to eight decibels. project-audio.com
