EAT E-Glo 2 – a tube phono preamplifier with backlight
30.11.2024 09:30
European Audio Team (EAT) has introduced the E-Glo 2 dual-block MM/MC tube phono preamplifier. An interesting feature of the device is the choice of color gamut of the backlight of the tubes located on the top panel of the device.
The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier is equipped with four ECC83 tubes and two ECC88 tubes. According to the manufacturer, the user can experiment with different compatible tubes, achieving a sound that matches his tastes to the maximum extent. The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier has a fully balanced input stage with a Lundahl LL1932 step-up transformer for the MC input. The transformer provides a gain of 45 dB, sufficient for working with moving coil (MC) heads. The equalization stage here is completely passive.
According to the manufacturer, the phono preamplifier has a lower noise level than is usually achievable with tube phono preamplifiers. The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier circuit uses only high-quality components, such as Mundorf and WIMA capacitors.
The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier power supply is housed in a separate case and is based on a toroidal transformer with double shielding. The power supply circuit uses low-noise resistors and high-quality capacitors for additional protection of the phono preamplifier from electromagnetic interference and interference. The EAT E-Glo 2 tube dual-block MM/MC phono preamplifier is now available at a recommended retail price of $9,999.

SPEC RSA-EX1000 – integrated amplifier in a case made of maple and spruce
The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.

Definitive Technology Demand D11 – compact bookshelf loudspeakers with a bunch of innovations
The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
