The Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III phono preamplifier uses the same discrete gain stage modules that were developed for the MP-L201, but for this phono preamplifier they have been optimized to achieve much lower noise levels. This is important to ensure high-quality musical performance even with cartridges with the lowest output voltage currently available on the market.
The Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III offers MC gain 50, 53, 55, 57, 60, 63, 67, 70, 72, 75dB and MC load steps 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75, 90, 100, 110, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1k, 2kΩ - gain is fully selectable based on the output voltage of the connected cartridge.
This is the optimal way to ensure the ideal balance between the cartridge and the phono preamplifier. And changing the gain settings and load parameters is easy using the remote control or the buttons on the front panel of the unit. Of course, the phono preamplifier is capable of handling both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges.
Finally, the external power supply ensures a significant reduction in noise levels. The power transformer and other components of the power supply are located far from the sensitive audio circuits of the Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III.

The innovative Thrax Audio Cotys phono preamplifier is presented – a model designed for fans of High-End equipment and developed in Bulgaria. The device is designed to work with MC cartridges and uses a fully balanced RIAA equalizer based on LCR filters. The innovative differential input stage and nanocrystalline inductors set a new standard for noise levels – it does not exceed 70 nV! Fully adjustable load/gain (100 – 1,000 Ohms and 50 – 70 dB) is the cherry on the cake.
Evolution Acoustics has completed a series of ten years of research and development with the release of the impressive Evolution Acoustics SYSTEM THREE acoustic system, which has become the successor to the iconic top model of the MM-series.
Sonoro has released bookshelf loudspeakers – the second generation of the famous model is called Sonoro Orchestra Slim Gen.2. The manufacturer claims the ideal partnership of the speakers with the proprietary Sonoro Maestro Smart receiver, as well as any third-party amplification
The well-known manufacturer of High-End digital equipment, SOtM has updated its own operating system Eunhasu OS (based on an upgraded Linux kernel) to version 0.5.9 (the software is used in the company's streaming products, such as the server SOtM sMS-1000SQ Eunhasu, which is shown in the photo).
The original concept of the Coturn CT-01 turntable was developed by designer Benjamin Großjohann more than five years ago. He also produced the turntable in small batches – now serial production has been organized by Thorens, and the model is called Coturn by Thorens CT-01.
