The Meze Audio company has introduced new Meze Audio POET headphones - the model has a compact design and weighs 350 g. Meze Audio POET planar-magnetic headphones featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in the company's ELITE model and offering very high sound quality.
The headphones use an open-back scheme and are equipped with a Hybrid Array MZ6 assembly, which guarantees an extended frequency range of 4 Hz - 96 kHz. The impedance of the headphones is 55 Ohms, the sensitivity is declared at 101 dB, and the maximum sound pressure reaches an impressive 130 dB with a distortion level of no more than 0.05%.
Meze Audio POET uses 92 mm x 63 mm Rinaro Parus MZ6 drivers with an active area of 3.507 mm2 and a dead weight of 0.06 g. At the same time, the acoustic mass of the driver reaches 6.5 kg/m4, which allows the headphones to play notes from 4 Hz.
The recommended retail price of Meze Audio POET is $2,000. The outer finish is made of spectacular Fiberglass reinforced polymer.

The Greek company Echo Diastasis has released a new phono preamplifier Echo Diastasis PH 79 Reference – based on original circuit design solutions, the development of which lasted for many years. The device does not have global feedback and is implemented in the “dual mono” scheme.
The English company Vertere Acoustics has introduced a new model of the DG-X vinyl record player, which is supplied from the factory in several configuration options – including even a tonearm and cartridge.
German company T+A has introduced a stylish integrated amplifier T+A Symphonia with arrows indicators of the gain level. The model offers a full set of analog and digital inputs, is equipped with a built-in digital-to-analog converter, a full-fledged network streamer and has a built-in phono preamplifier.
Serbian company Dayens has released an ascetic stereo power amplifier Dayens Ecstasy IV Slim – the model uses output stages on two pairs of Japanese transistors and provides (despite the compact slim case) 110 W per channel when working on loudspeakers with an impedance of 8 Ohms (2 x 160 W at 4 Ohms).
Cayin has released an update to its well-known integrated amplifier model – the Cayin MT-35 MK3. In addition to three RCA inputs, the amp received a wireless streaming module Bluetooth (AAC, aptX HD and LDAC) with a fairly powerful built-in digital-to-analog converter based on the ES9018K2M Sabre32 chip.
