A construction as simple as a turntable does not have to cost a fortune. Place a motor and a turntable in a simple cabinet – it does not have to be more advanced than fiberboard – put on an arm with low friction and mount a pickup. Done! It’s not going to play very well, …

The well-known Tivoli radio has turned digital a long time ago. For better or worse, but mostly for the better. At least now when the beginner’s flaws are gone, and the radio has been given more functions. Because with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, the Tivoli Model One Digital is in the 2nd generation, with …
It is simple, relatively inexpensive, and easy to find space for. If you also have a really good digital converter, built-in or separate, just brush the dust off the CD collection. For the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T, most likely sounds much better than your old CD player. That is, CD Box RS2 T is …
If you asked me which integrated amplifier is the best, it would be a difficult question to answer indeed. But the Naim Uniti Atom is certainly high on the list at its price range. At least if would like streaming and and a small footprint to go with it – it really is unique. Good …
French Devialet makes amplifiers and speakers like no other. Particularly special are probably the Phantom wireless high-end speakers, which in addition to brutal power from extremely little cabinet also has deeper bass than was thought possible! This is due to a lot of amplifier power and very large woofers (2 x 7 inches) in relation …

With the Evo 150, English Cambridge Audio will take everything in one to a new level. The look is wonderfully modernist, with a large graphics screen. The box comes with two pairs of magnetic side panels. One wave pattern black in recycled richlite, and one in walnut. The latter draws inspiration from Cambridge Audio’s very …

It’s tempting to call Michi a new, high-end sub-brand of Japanese Rotel, although the name first appeared in some high-end products in 1991. In 2019, the Michi name was revived, with the amplifier set P5 and M8, and also stereo power amplifier S5. And now with a couple of new integrated amplifiers, you can finally …
Where hi-fi enthusiasts long ago swore to separate devices for each and every part of the signal chain – and of course could not live with an integrated amplifier, because that job had to be distributed on preamplifiers and power amplifiers – in recent years integrated amplifiers have obtained the respect they deserve. Hi-fi manufacturers …
I thought I knew what I was going for. First a physical effort, as always with McIntosh amplifiers, followed by a fast-paced and engaging break-in period. So I had learned after years of easing and testing McIntosh products. But this time I was not prepared. That is, with a weight close to 50 kilos, the …
