Cyrus Audio's calling card has always been "half-size" audio components - half the width of standard equipment. Well, the ice has broken - the company has announced the launch of a line of standard-width components, Cyrus Audio 80. The new 80 series of full-size components from Cyrus Audio will include three models - the Cyrus Audio 80 AMP integrated amplifier, the Cyrus Audio 80 PRE preamplifier and the Cyrus Audio 80 PWR stereo power amplifier. One of the key advantages of the new form factor is the ability to use larger and more reliable internal power supplies. So, getting rid of external power supplies, which complicated the switching.
All Cyrus Audio 80 models operate in class AB. The power amplifier offers 2 x 200 W of power and supports bridged mode, in which it reaches 300 W of power. The integrated and preamplifiers will be equipped with the BluOS network platform from the Bluesound brand, which includes an ergonomic interface and built-in clients for streaming services TIDAL, Qobuz and Spotify, as well as a Roon Ready certificate. The MM/MC phono preamplifier is not forgotten either.
The Cyrus Audio 80 series models are scheduled to appear in November 2025. Recommended retail prices are expected to range from £5,000 to £6,000 per component.

The ONIX brand has released a new top-of-the-line digital-to-analog converter ONIX Zenith XDA20. The model will soon go on retail sale at a price of 2,399 US dollars.
Systemdek is returning to the audio market of precision audio equipment and announces the release of a new vinyl turntable Systemdek Revolution. The model will be available in autumn 2025 at a price of £4,950 (excluding tonearm) and will be the first new development of the brand in recent years.
Pro-Ject has released a new balanced tube phono preamplifier Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B. Despite its modest dimensions, the model is equipped with both RCA and mini-XLR inputs, as well as XLR and RCA outputs – so integration into a balanced path will be ideal.
PS Audio has started selling the previously announced precision preamplifier PS Audio PMG Signature Preamplifier – the frequency response of the model is within 5 – 500000 Hz (-3dB), the noise floor does not exceed -145 dB, THD+N is declared less than 0.0003%, IMD is 0.0005%, and Crosstalk is -135 dB!
Fosi Audio has launched a pre-order campaign for the new Fosi Audio Luna3 turntable on Kickstarter, with the model costing $349.99. The turntable is designed in the concept of minimalism and simplicity and offers a number of very interesting engineering solutions.
