Philips has been one of the key players in the consumer audio market since the 1920s. The company participated in the development of key standards and components, such as the release of the Miniwatt Radio Tube or the compact disc. For the brand’s centenary, Phillips presented a series of audio components in a retro design, among which the Philips The Tina (V9000) stands out.
Philips The Tina (V9000) combines a turntable, DAB+/FM tuner, USB audio streamer and a wireless Bluetooth module. With a serious power of 120 W (2.1 configuration), Tina offers dynamic sound. The model includes two full-range speakers, a 4” bass reflex woofer and a 6.3 mm headphone jack.
Key features of the Philips The Tina (V9000) turntable include a cast aluminum platter, adjustable tonearm, and an MM cartridge from Japanese company Audio Technica. The Philips Tina features Bluetooth 5.3 streaming with Auracast and can send music to compatible Bluetooth audio systems throughout the home.

Bang & Olufsen has introduced the third generation of its Beosound A1 portable wireless loudspeaker. The new product has retained the 360-degree sound pattern and aluminum body.

Burmester, the famous German manufacturer of high-end equipment, begins releasing LPs. The PURE SOUND Master Recordings series opens with the 1964 jazz album Oscar Peterson Trio “We Get Requests”, the record will be released in a limited edition of 33 copies and will be sold for 777 euros.
Soulution has introduced the ultimate vinyl player Soulution 787. The model features linear tracking system with a moving platter and a minimal excursion pivoted tonearm.. Recall that such designs imply the highest tracking accuracy, but have hardly been used until now due to their extreme complexity and high cost (Nakamichi TX-1000 Computing Turntable in 1983-1987 with Absolute Centre Search System offered offered something a little similar - but in that case the tonearm moved, and the platter provided the necessary center shift, corresponding to a specific LP).
The well-known acoustics manufacturer, Monitor Audio, has released three new active subwoofers of the Monitor Audio Vestra series - W10, W12 and W15. All of them are equipped with proprietary speakers with aluminum-magnesium alloy diffusers with a ceramic C-CAM coating with a long-stroke suspension and can develop impressive sound pressure.
