American company Schiit Audio has introduced the Freya 2 preamplifier, distinguished by its ability to flexibly reconfigure the amplification circuitry. At the heart of the new model is the proprietary Fusion Architecture, which combines four vacuum tubes with depletion-mode MOSFET transistors. Users can choose between five operating modes: passive, all-tube, all-solid-state, and two hybrid configurations in which tubes are employed either for voltage amplification or current amplification.

Japanese brand Air Tight has updated its current product lineup with the new ATC-6 tube preamplifier. The model succeeds the ATC-3 roughly twenty years after the latter’s release and is positioned as the most accessible preamplifier in the company’s catalogue.

American company Audio Research has introduced the Audio Research LS-2 preamplifier. Its fully tube-based design, operating in pure Class A, eliminates semiconductors from the signal path and is aimed at maximum sonic authenticity. At the same time, the classic circuit concept is complemented by modern features such as a touchscreen display and optional modular expansion.

Italian high-end audio manufacturer Riviera Audio Laboratories has presented a new generation of its flagship preamplifier and monoblock power amplifier models. The APL01SE preamplifier and AFM100SE monoblocks in Special Edition form are currently Riviera Audio’s top-tier models.
