Naim Uniti Star

Naim Uniti Star

The modern version of the all-in-one system is significantly better than the system you remembered your uncle had in the 80’s. Contrary to many people’s beliefs, it is possible to pack both good sound and all the sound sources you need in one box. Just look at the Naim Uniti Star. Here you get both …

Aune S6 Pro

Most people use their cell phone as a source when listening to music on headphones. It is convenient and it is always available. However, if you have wired headphones, this is not the best solution. If at all possible – and the headphone output has not been dropped as an extra service. What we are …

Como Audio Bluetooth Turntable

Como Audio Bluetooth Turntable

Some may find it strange that a radio producer is making a record player. Actually, it’s not that weird. At least not if you buy the explanation from Tom DeVesto, founder of Como Audio. He believes that the popularity of vinyl records makes it natural for them to have a record player in their range. …

Sony PS-LX310BT

Sony PS-LX310BT

When the CDs were released in the market, most people still continued to play their vinyl records. They never really disappeared, even though the CDs eventually supplanted LPs on store shelves. Several formats have come and gone (anyone remember DCC?), But the vinyl records have passed. Even in these streaming times, where both CDs and …

Lyngdorf TDAI-3400

What are the characteristics of the perfect hi-fi equipment? When we test products at the highest level of the scale, ostentatious design usually goes hand in hand with impressive sound. And usually also price. But not everyone is equally lavish. The Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 almost looks like a piece of laboratory equipment designed by Philippe …

Gold Note IS-1000

Gold Note IS-1000

Italian Gold Note is a brand that we have not tested before, but we have seen them at hi-fi fairs, where they piqued our curiosity. The company is based in Florence, and the people behind it have been designing hi-fi for 25 years. In the first years as an OEM supplier to other brands, but …

NAD C338

NAD has an almost cult-like status when it comes to hi-fi equipment at reasonable prices. Just about everyone in a design that would make a sparrow look boastful. The NAD C338 is the smallest in the company’s New Classic series of amplifiers. As you would expect from a device called “Classic”, there is a full …

Rega Aura MC

The sound from my records sounded freshly washed and revitalized. It did not matter which pickup I used. An affordable Audio-Technica delivered sound quality I associate with more expensive pickups, and with an expensive Rega pickup it opened up even more, and a Ortofon pickup kicked open the door to a higher analog sky. All …

Line Magnetic Audio 805iA

Line Magnetic Audio 805iA

When the green light came on, I knew music was coming out of the radio. Then the pipes behind the fabric grille were warm and the radio filled the living room with sound. Warm, soft and comfortable sound. My parents’ tube-based radio receiver was later replaced with a Japanese transistor receiver, which, even with two …

Sonos Amp

Sonos Amp

Over ten years ago, Sonos came on the scene with user-friendly, wireless speakers that provided sound in every room. It was super easy, and changed the hi-fi market forever. After getting the taste of user-friendly multi-room, it is probably difficult to persuade people to return to traditional stereo. But what if you can get both? …

Denon CEOL N10

Let’s just admit it: even for an (experienced) old stereo fan, there is not always time and desire to make a ritual out of listening to music. Sometimes you just want to press a button and move on with what you are doing. The answer to that question is usually a multi-room speaker. Put it …

McIntosh MCD600

If you look at what people do on social media, it looks like many have dumped the CD collection a long time ago. It is more convenient to use your mobile phone when playing music. It’s almost free, the music is always available, and the sound is perfectly fine. With the music in your pocket, …
