At the upcoming AXPONA show (April 11-13, 2025) in Schaumberg, IL, Audio Research will introduce six new audio components that represent the culmination of 55 years of experience.
So, we are waiting for the Audio Research LS-2 (tube) and LS-3 (solid-state) preamplifiers, Audio Research S-100 and S-200 Class A/B solid-state amplifiers, Audio Research D-80 tube amplifier, and the Audio Research I/70 tube integrated amp (the top amplifier in the integrated amp line after the I/50). The demonstration will take place in a system presented by dealer Quintessence Audio.
Technical specifications of the devices will be announced later.
Bose has unveiled a new wireless speaker, the SoundLink Home, which promises “crisp, clear sound with enough bass to fill any room.” The Bose SoundLink Home offers up to 9 hours of battery life, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and a USB-C 0 audio input, so what? A wired connection to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop is also possible.
in-akustik has announced new R2R Master Tape releases (each reel is available in Start, Standard and Studio versions). The tapes are recorded individually in real time on Studer A80 studio tape recorders.
SilentPower has announced a new USB cable SilentPower Audio Pulsar USB with a built-in active noise cancellation module. The cable is equipped with USB-C connectors and is designed for use with a wide range of equipment - from smartphones, laptops and other portable electronics to stationary or desktop digital-to-analog converters.
Clearaudio has introduced a special Clearaudio Stylus Cleaner Gel, designed to clean dust and dirt from the tip of the cartridge stylus. During playback of records, it is the cartridge stylus that accumulates dirt, which can lead to a deterioration in sound quality.
Pro-Ject Tube Box E is a new MM/MC phono preamplifier from a well-known audio equipment manufacturer. The compact model uses a pair of ECC83 tubes and is offered for only £249.
