Eleven Audio (Taiwan, Taipei), has introduced the compact integrated amplifier A390, equipped with the proprietary technology of isolated voltage and current amplification (VCIA). This approach is designed to minimize distortion and ensuring accurate sound of even the most complex load.
Integrated amplifier Eleven Audio A390 is equipped with an electronic volume control based on a R2R resistive matrix. At the same time, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of each input, allowing you to smoothly switch between different audio sources. The amplifier is based on a linear power supply with a powerful toroidal transformer.
The commutation of the integrated amplifier Eleven Audio A390 includes only analog inputs - balanced on XLR connectors and two unbalanced on RCA. Despite its compact size, the amplifier is versatile enough to work even with large acoustic systems, adhering to the "first watt" principle. The Eleven Audio A390 is capable of delivering 2 x 39 W with a load nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. The frequency range is extremely wide and extends from 1 Hz to 110 kHz (at the -1 dB level). The signal-to-noise ratio is 119 dB, and the slew rate is 26 V/μs.
The Eleven Audio A390 integrated amplifier is presented now at a recommended retail price of $ 1,699.

Bang & Olufsen and Saint Laurent have unveiled a super-exclusive version of the Beogram 4000c turntable – a Bang & Olufsen factory-restored iconic turntable reimagined by the fashion house. Each Beogram 4000c Series Saint Laurent Rive Droit Edition will be sold exclusively at Saint Laurent Rive Droite stores in Paris and Los Angeles, as well as on the YSL and Bang & Olufsen websites, and only 10 units will be produced (the device will likely soon become a museum artifact).
Matrix Audio has introduced two new network streamers with transport functionality – devoid of a digital-to-analog converter and designed for use with external DACs. Both models are designed in a recognizable futuristic aesthetic and are equipped with large touch screens on the front panel. The streamers are also Roon certified.
SMSL presented the SMSL PL200T CD transport – the highlight of the model was the proprietary SMSL PASS Servo system, which ensures very accurate reading of information from optical media. The SMSL PL200T also has the ability to play MQA-CDs and a very interesting function of working as a digital transport - the device can be used as a digital interface with a USB-C input, supporting digital streams in PCM format with a resolution of up to 32 bit/768 kHz and in DSD format up to DSD512.
Børresen has announced significant changes to its range of loudspeakers - the new Børresen T series of loudspeakers, consisting of three models of different sizes (T1, T3 and T5) and three upgraded SSE (Silver Supreme Edition) versions, will replace the Børresen 0 series in the company's product range.
The current feedback amplification topology and powerful power supply of the new Accuphase A-48S amplifier provides a large reserve and stable output in pure Class A. For a load with an impedance of 8 ohms, 50 watts are available, and halving the load impedance doubles the output power. With a short-term drop in load impedance to 1 ohm, the amplifier is capable of delivering a power of 400 watts.
