Fezz Audio has introduced the Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier and the Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier. The models are based on KT88 tubes and offer high output power.
Fezz Olympia Mono Power Amplifier is a pair of monoblock power amplifiers that offers 150 W. The model is based on 4 x KT88 + 1 x 12AX7 + 1 x 12AU7 tubes (parallel push-pull configuration) and has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.1% up to 100 W or 1% at full power. With a damping factor of 30, the devices can work even with complex loudspeakers.

Fezz Olympia Dual Mono Amplifier is an integrated amplifier with a slot for future upgrade to a Bluetooth streamer, DAC or phono preamplifier. 8 x KT88 + 2 x 12AX7 + 2 x 12AU7 tubes provide 2 x 100 W of power, and the dual mono configuration allows easily control the speakers. The model also has a convenient standby function and a 2-minute pre-heating cycle before starting the equipment, allowing the tubes to reach optimal operating modes, a new automatic bias adjustment system, and an electronic tube protection fuse.

Hegel has introduced its latest digital-to-analog converter Hegel D50. The model features extremely low distortion of 0.0002% and typically noise floor of record -150 dB, and uses three dedicated master clocks (one for SPDIF signals, and for USB, separate master clocks for 48k and 44.1k sample rates).
The Meze Audio company has introduced new Meze Audio POET headphones - the model has a compact design and weighs 350 g. Meze Audio POET planar-magnetic headphones featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in the company's ELITE model and offering very high sound quality.
American company Orchard Audio has introduced a new headphone amplifier Valencia. The new product is made in a balanced circuit design and operates in class A/B. The Valencia project is also the first result of Leo Ayzenshtat’s collaboration with experienced headphone reviewer Steven Ciofalo.
German company Thorens has offered a plug-n-play version of its famous TD1600 turntable - equipped with everything you need for immediate use. The Thorens Super Bundle is based on the Thorens TD1600 turntable, which implements the concept of the early Thorens 160 series models with a sub-chassis with three conical springs. The platter is driven by a belt, and the drive is equipped with an electronic motor control system.
Burson Audio has introduced the Timekeeper Voyager mono power amplifiers, operating in Class AB and delivering up to 200 watts per channel into a 4 Ohm load. The Timekeeper series of amplifiers has been in development at Burson Audio for over fifteen years. The latest Voyager model is designed to operate at high idle current, allowing the transistors to operate in their most linear range, thereby minimizing distortion. Despite consuming over 100 Watts in standby mode, the Voyager achieves Class AB performance in a compact design, rivaling much larger amplifiers.
