The legendary British audio brand Leak has introduced its first music streamer, the Leak TruStream. Following the brand’s return to the audio world in 2020 with models such as the Leak Stereo 130 integrated amplifier and the Leak CDT CD transport, the company has now turned its attention to modern music streaming, without which virtually no contemporary stereo system can do today.

The new EX700 moving-coil (MC) cartridge from Japanese company Analog Relax is, according to the manufacturer, inspired by some of the most iconic and expensive classical musical instruments. The cartridge body is carved from spruce sourced in the South Tyrol region in northern Italy. It is the same type of wood that the great Antonio Stradivari used for his violins. The manufacturer promises a sound that “sings like the finest stringed instruments.”
