Townshend Audio’s Rock turntables, featuring a unique front-end damping trough, are a long-proven solution to accurate record replay.

Acclaimed by audio critics the world over, Rock turntables continue to win Awards year after year.

“The calm platform that the Rock 7 offers confers a sense of effortlessness to vinyl replay

that makes for very convincing instruments and voices… when you’ve got a great recording,

you know about it… the turntable is so good at digging out fine detail:

at low and high level you get the full picture of the music…”

Jason Kennedy: Hi-Fi Choice, June 2009

“It was immediately obvious that the Rock was superior in terms of timing, rhythm and pace.

It was the only turntable that sounded like real music.

It has accuracy and ‘snap’ that makes you immediately tap your toes.

It is ‘on the nail’ and the only one out of all the turntables auditioned to focus accurately

- and as a result, was very easy to listen to.”

Keith Haddock (Haddock Communications): panel member of Hi-Fi Choice’s blind listening tests
