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 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.
