It’s natural to feel a spark of disappointment when your favourite song doesn’t sound as mesmerising as you remember. That’s because high-fidelity audio relies on something beyond the equipment you own.
Sometimes, the little things like the right accessories make a huge difference in audio quality. They deliver the crisp and clear sound you expect, provided that you invest in top-tier equipment.
Eastwood HiFi specialises in these vital additions through its range of accessories, which deliver the true potential of your sound system. Keep reading to learn how.
Eastwood HiFi Accessories You Must Try to Boost Your Listening Experience
Optimising your audio experience often hinges on the details you typically overlook. Upgrading things like speaker stands, cables, and turntable accessories can dramatically enhance your sound quality.
Discover which Eastwood HiFi accessories you should try to take your audio experience to the next level.

Premium HiFi Cables
If you ever felt that your audio setup was falling short of its potential, the secret might lie in something as simple as the cables connecting your system. Yep. Low-quality cables, unfortunately, sap your sound of its clarity.
This eventually introduces noise into your sound and reduces the signal integrity. Thankfully, premium HiFi cables are designed to preserve the purity of your audio signal. Investing in one means getting the detailed sound you expect.
The Performance RCA Subwoofer Cable, for instance, features dual electro-static shielding and a quasi-balanced twisted pair design for unblemished signal quality.
Likewise, the XT40i Speaker Cable continues QED’s legacy with superior sound enhancement, while the HDMI 2.1 8K Cable supports ultra-high-speed content with a braided nylon layer for added protection.

Isolation and Vibration Control Devices
Oftentimes, vibrations from nearby appliances or even the subtle hum of your speaker can disrupt your listening experience.
Eastwood HiFi tackles this challenge head-on with its isolation and vibration control devices.
Their isolation pads and vibration control solutions work to separate speakers from external noise. This way, your sound remains true to the original recording.
Eastwood’s Rega Planar 6 turntable and Yamaha NS-2000A floor-standing speakers are examples. The former features advanced anti-vibration control with its Neo MK2 power supply, which includes electronic speed adjustment and effective isolation measures. The latter, on the other hand, uses cutting-edge vibration control technology to deliver a clear low-frequency response whilst maintaining a clear and precise high-frequency..

Power Conditioners and Surge Protectors
Power conditioners and surge protectors add to the quality of any sound setup. Surge protectors, as the name implies, protect your gear from sudden power spikes that might damage them.
On the other hand, power conditioners go the extra mile to filter out electrical noise. This enables your equipment to deliver stable power.
Generally, cheap power conditioners might block a surge here and there, but they often leave your system vulnerable to noise and inconsistent power. However, a high-quality power conditioner protects your gear and, beyond that, keeps it performing at its best.
Eastwood HiFi’s IsoTek EV03 Mini Mira is a great example. The AV power conditioner features the highly praised ‘Triple Resonance Filter,’ which enhances both protection and performance. Unlike basic power strips, it filters out noise and keeps your equipment running smoothly.

Acoustic Treatments
Even the best audio equipment can struggle in a room with poor acoustics. It would, in fact, be fair to say that the room itself plays a huge role in shaping your listening experience.
That’s because sound waves can bounce from walls, floors, and even ceilings. As such, they may create echoes that muddy the clarity of your music.
Acoustic panels absorb reflections and reduce unwanted reverberation, while diffusers scatter audio more evenly. This delivers a balanced sound across the room. Likewise, bass traps tackle those tricky low frequencies, so you’re not left with boomy bass drowning out the details.
Whilst here at Eastwood HiFi we don’t directly sell acoustical treatment we can offer advice and put you in contact with a team of installers who we know and trust, that can correctly treat your space allowing you to get the best from your system.

Turntable Accessories
Preserving the magic of analog sounds requires the right care and accessories. Turntable accessories like stylus cleaners, mats, and dust covers play a crucial role here.
Sure, they may seem minor, but they help maintain the sound quality of your vinyl collection. A clean stylus, for instance, delivers precise playback while a good dust cover keeps your setup protected from debris.
Meanwhile, quality turntable mats reduce vibration, which in turn improves the clarity of your records.
Eastwood HiFi offers a range of turntable accessories meant to enhance your vinyl setup. From premium stylus cleaners to expertly crafted mats, these crucial additions deliver a crisp sound and let you enjoy the warmth of vinyl.

Speaker Stands and Wall Mounts
Proper speaker placement can make a world of difference when it comes to sound quality. Speaker stands and wall mounts help position them at the right height and angle. And without them, even the best speakers can sound off.
The goal is to lift your speakers to ear level and reduce vibrations from the surrounding surfaces. This ensures a clear sound experience.
Eastwood HiFi’s speaker stands and wall mounts are designed to provide you precisely that. For those looking to upgrade, the Monitor Audio Stand 89 is a perfect match for the Monitor Audio Studio 89 Bookshelf speakers. They provide maximum stability with their bolt-on design. It also works with a wide range of other bookshelf speakers and comes with adjustable feet, which is a plus.
Alternatively, the FIX-M wall mount offers a reliable solution for securing Monitor 50 speakers and Bronze 50. Multiple angle adjustments allow precise sound direction. As a result, your speakers deliver pitch-perfect audio from any orientation.
Conclusion
As an audiophile, perhaps you know that every detail counts.
Typically, the difference between good sound and an extraordinary listening experience comes down to the accessories.
Quality power conditioners, vibration control devices, cables, and acoustic treatments can significantly improve your setup. Eastwood HiFi is a reliable option for this.
