Find Top Quality Audio Equipment with Elusive Disc
Maximize Each Note with Proper Equipment
In the realm of high-quality sound, the right equipment is not a nicety—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a newcomer to vinyl’s irresistible allure or an experienced audiophile with a well-tweaked system, your equipment has a decisive influence on the way your music sounds, feels, and moves you.
We get it: music is not just ambient noise—it's a passion. And that's the way we approach audio equipment: with a handpicked array of offerings that suits every type of music lover. Whether you're a price-sensitive newcomer or a hi-fi die-hard, we've got the highest-quality brands and components that can make your system go from average to amazing.
Why the Right Audio Equipment Is Important
Without good components, even the finest music ends up sounding weak. Distortion, compression, lack of depth, and a curtailed dynamic range all stem from inferior or incompatible equipment. Whether it is missing a good phono preamp, a low-quality cable, or under-powered headsets, any weak link in the system is capable of compromising the listening experience.
Good audio equipment does more than simply make your system louder. It enables you to:
- Experience the entire range of frequencies—rich bass, nuanced mids, and shimmering highs.
- Experience rich textures and realistic presence in dynamic soundscapes.
- Enjoy lower noise floor levels and improved channel separation.
- Connect with the music emotionally in a way that compressed formats cannot.
At Elusive Disc, we're dedicated to inspiring the immersive, high-end sound within you with equipment that is engineered and built for perfection.
Power Your Vinyl Set-Up with a Quality Phono Preamp
If you’re into vinyl, you’ve probably heard the term phono preamp or record player preamp—and for good reason. Without one, you won’t be able to properly amplify or EQ your turntable’s signal.
What is a Phono Preamp?
The phono preamp amplifies your turntable's weak signal up to line level, ensuring it is compatible with your typical amplifiers and receivers. It even applies the RIAA equalization curve that restores the frequency balance of the music—necessary for authentic, accurate playback.
All preamps aren't the same. While most turntables and amplifiers have built-in phono stages, they tend to skimp on them. Having a separate record player preamp guarantees that you're listening to your records with the depth and precision they're capable of.
Top Choices from Elusive Disc:
- Music Hall Mini MM Phono Preamp – A great beginner option with clean, dependable gain for moving magnet cartridges.
- Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL – Fully balanced with MM/MC support and unrivaled low-noise performance.
- Manley OASIS Phono Stage – Powered‑by‑tubes phono stage delivering ultra‑quiet, precise vinyl playback with flexible cartridge matching.
Statement Pieces of Headphones: Grado and AKG
For listeners that enjoy private, intimate sessions, few tools matter more than headphones. And at Elusive Disc, we offer the highest quality—from industry greats such as Grado and AKG.

Amplify Your Experience with Integrated Amplifiers
An integrated amplifier brings together a preamp and a power amp in one unit and is thus the core of any stereo system with two channels. Both tube and solid-state integrated amps offer both the power and control that your speakers require to sound their best.
We provide choices that go from vintage-style tube units all the way up to cutting-edge solid-state innovations.
Recommended Integrated Amplifiers:

- Musical Fidelity M5si – Powerful, dynamic, and transparent—a perfect choice for audiophiles craving power and precision.
Don't Forget the Accessories: Cables, Isolators & More
Even the finest phono preamp or AKG headphones won't sound their best unless you've got the proper accessories. Signal decay, ground noise, and vibration all conspire against sound quality—but the proper equipment eliminates them.
Must-Have Accessories
- Speaker and interconnect cables – Low-resistance, shielded with the intent of preserving audio signal.
- Record Clamps & Mats – Enhance tracking and prevent record slippage.
- Isolation Feet and Platforms – Eliminate turntable and amp mechanical vibrations.
- Cleaning Systems – Take care of your vinyl, stylus, and equipment with the best.
Each part of your system is involved. It's a chain when it comes to high-end audio—handle each link with care.
