HarmonicDyne has released new wired headphones HarmonicDyne BAROQUE – the model uses large-sized 60 mm dynamic drivers with a metal-ceramic diaphragm. This approach simultaneously minimizes distortion, providing an ideal piston stroke, and guarantees a fast dynamic response.
HarmonicDyne BAROQUE use an open acoustic design and have an impedance of 64 Ohms. The model operates in the frequency range from 10 to 50,000 Hz and has a sensitivity of 109 dB. Distortion does not exceed 0.2%. HarmonicDyne BAROQUE can be connected via a 3.5 mm minijack or a balanced Pentaconn 4.4 mm.
The HarmonicDyne BAROQUE headphones are made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with CNC machining to minimize resonance. The stainless steel headband frame distributes the load evenly, and the leather and mesh ear pads provide comfort even during long-term use.
The HarmonicDyne BAROQUE headphones are available now for a suggested retail price of $559.

The new Nagaoka MP-700 cartridge tops the Moving Permalloy (MP) series and will be available in the standard MP-700 and premium MP-700H versions. Compared to conventional moving magnet (MM) cartridges, the Moving Permalloy (MP) variant features a lighter permalloy magnet attached to the cantilever.
Sennheiser has introduced the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Open TWS headphones – the model, designed in a stylish compact design, promises, according to the manufacturer, exceptional comfort during use and a secure fit.
The Ranieri Audio Labs Varieta preamplifier has been released – the model uses directly heated triodes and allows for a wide range of tubes (300B, 2A3/6A3, 12A/201A, 26, 30, 31, 45, 50, 71A, 801A/10Y, 275A/252A, 245 and 842/VT52 will do). Simply ideal for those wishing to experiment with tube rolling.
Accuphase has introduced the Accuphase C-57 phono preamplifier, based on a fully balanced circuit design from output to input with dual mono topology. The Accuphase C-57 also uses a two-stage solution: the first stage is the output stage to ensure matching with MM and MC cartridges, the second stage is the correction amplifier itself.
Last year, Goldmund launched the impressive Goldmund Rhea and Theia acoustics in active versions with a wireless streamer. The all-in-one solution certainly looked brilliant, but High-End fans often prefer component systems. So now the company has introduced the Goldmund Rhea and Theia loudspeakers in a Passive version.
