Festival season is calling – and whether you're setting up camp in a field, glamping in style, or blasting tunes from your caravan, you're going to need the right gear to keep the good vibes going long after the headliners are done.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and worth knowing...

Music is more than just background noise. It’s how many of us unwind, how we focus, how we celebrate — and for many, it’s a daily ritual we can’t live without. If you’re someone who’s always loved music, there comes a time when you want to experience it in a deeper, more rewarding way. That’s where hi-fi comes in.

The resurgence of vinyl collecting has resulted in many music lovers rushing to pick up a new turntable so they can listen to their favourite tracks in their purest form. However, finding the right turntable can suddenly feel overwhelming with so many options available.

At Peter Tyson, we believe finding a new turntable should cause excitement, not worry.

Since their hey day in the 60s and 70s the turntable has gone through several design iterations from ingenious designs that informed the modern record player of today, to the ‘out there’ creations that belong in art galleries.

For over 15 years, vinyl record sales have been rising, proving that turntables aren’t just a trend—they’re a beloved way to experience music. There’s something special about dropping the needle, hearing the warm analogue sound, and connecting with your favourite artists in a way that digital streaming can’t match.

Investing in a high-end hi-fi system can be a serious financial commitment. But do expensive systems truly deliver better sound, or are you just paying for premium materials and marketing? 

So, you've just bought a shiny new turntable, but you're unsure where to start. Or maybe you want to make sure it's sounding as good as it should. Setting up a turntable correctly can make a huge difference in audio quality...
