Ruark R7 Radiogram

Quite simply the Rolls Royce of British audio-makers, Ruark are the go to for your luxury audio needs. Here at Coolector HQ we’ve been purring over the beauty of the latest Ruark invention, the R7. A modern take on the vintage radiogram, if we were going to have anyone recreate a classic, then without a doubt it would be Ruark.

Inspired by 60’s contemporary design, the R7 continues the post-modern trend that reinvents iconic designs from times gone by; you only have to look at the success of the record player to appreciate how effective this trend is. Leaving behind those dodgy knobs, and temperamental wiring systems, the R7 oozes simplicity with a range of up to date must have features.

Top of the pile is the aptX Bluetooth technology enabling wireless streaming, closely followed by a DAB digital radio capable of receiving global radio stations. Technical stuff aside, we should adhere to the pure beauty of the R7 design as remember you’re purchasing a piece of furniture, not just a sound system. The central display has been crafted using the finest aluminium and glass design, whilst the body is coated in a classy walnut finish.

Should you want to team two icons, we would recommend connecting your R7 with a record player, with the recently reviewed limited edition Linn Sondek LP12 being our top choice; the enhanced 3D sound processing makes for a quality sound, and the vintage decoration isn’t too bad either.

For a redefined take on the classic, side-step the Argos catalogue, and give Ruark a call, they’re guaranteed to provide the perfect balance between contemporary and historical design.
