# Vertere Acoustics > Vertere Acoustics is a British high-end audio manufacturer based in London, specialising in turntables, tonearms, cartridges, and hand-built audio cables. Founded by Touraj Moghaddam, former co-founder of Roksan, the company designs and engineers every component in-house to preserve the integrity of the original recording. ## Company - Vertere was founded by Touraj Moghaddam, a veteran turntable and tonearm designer previously known for Roksan's Xerxes turntable. - Based at 5 Oliver Business Park, London NW10 7JB, UK. - Design philosophy: a hi-fi system is only as strong as its weakest link, so every part — cables, arm, chassis, bearing — is engineered from first principles rather than adapted from off-the-shelf parts. - Vertere began with high-end cables before expanding into turntables, tonearms, and cartridges. ## Products - Turntables: including the Reference RG-1, SG-1 Super Groove, MG-1 Mk II Magic Groove, and DG-X Dynamic Groove ranges, spanning flagship reference decks to more accessible entry points. - Tonearms and cartridges designed to complement Vertere turntables, including the Magneto II moving magnet cartridge. - Hand-built analogue cables, Vertere's original product category. ## Buying - Vertere products are sold exclusively through authorised stockists worldwide. - [UK retailers](https://www.vertereacoustics.com/uk-retailers) ## Contact - Email: info@vertereacoustics.com - Phone: +44 (0)20 3176 4888
