The German company HECO celebrated its anniversary by releasing a new version of the acoustics — HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition. The loudspeakers are decorated in a retro design and take us back to the atmosphere of the 1970s.
HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition is a two-way acoustics that uses a midrange/low-frequency driver with an 11” paper diffuser and a proprietary HECO Fluktus tweeter with a 28-mm silk composite dome. The tweeter is equipped with a powerful dual magnet system and is enclosed in a Fluktus Wave Control horn with special geometry. Only audiophile components were used for the crossover components and internal wiring.
The HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition features a two-tone front panel combining natural walnut veneer with a black or white satin finish. The loudspeakers rests on a base with three metal feet and is tilted back six degrees for optimal sound distribution in the room. Magnetic grilles are the icing on the cake.
The HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition is now available for purchase at a recommended retail price of €1,499 per one speaker.

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.
Remton audio 481 MK2 – a Tube Phonostage Based on NOS Tesla Resistors
The Czech audio equipment manufacturer Remton Audio has introduced a tube (4 x JJ ECC81) phono preamplifier with Remton audio 481 MK2 Limited edition – this approach is explained by the use of NOS Tesla resistors with a deviation of only 0.25 dB in the range from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. These resistors are quite rare, so the circulation of both the first and second versions of the phono preamplifier is limited.
