The second model in a series of six, the ACL Cassiopée is a relatively compact speaker offering true-to-life sound reproduction. Designed without filtering and featuring an exceptional transducer, it stands out significantly in today’s electroacoustic production. Portrait of a newcomer from the South!
After 15 years of research into its high-end models, German company Clearaudio has updated its famous Concept turntable. Named Clearaudio Concept Signature, this newcomer incorporates significant improvements, starting with an optimized speed controller. Priced significantly higher than the last generation, this greatly improved version remains true to the brand’s DNA, while promising to deliver a more stable and musical sound reproduction.
It has already been 20 years since the Italian designer of audiophile-quality electronics introduced the Audio Analogue Puccini Anniversary. The first piece of equipment produced by Audio Analogue, the Puccini also made its mark on the world of high fidelity by quickly joining the very exclusive club of equipment considered to be the benchmark in power amplification. Still in the catalog and regularly revised, the Puccini Anniversary is more than ever an amplifier to be reckoned with.
Thierry Comte, creator of the Atohm brand, recently set about developing a power amplifier, fine-tuning its settings to match his Atohm GT speakers as closely as possible. The result is the Atohm RS700 GT Edition, which delivers 350 W under 8 ohms in class D, with control via an analog-to-digital card incorporating a DSP.
Devialet entered the hi-fi world with a revolutionary all-in-one amplifier, then shifted its focus to a decidedly modern listening experience and a broader musical target audience, at the risk of no longer appealing to audiophiles and certain categories of music lovers, with its Devialet Phantom Ultimate. Despite this, somewhat in the manner of B&O, but still more focused on sound reproduction quality, the brand retains its importance in the audio market and deserves our attention.
If you think that an Ethernet cable is just a conductor of «0»s and «1»s, you may be mistaken. In that case, the monumental Reiki Jundostream Reference cable will show you that it can literally transcend your listening experience.
Part of French manufacturer Esprit’s fifth range, the Esprit Eterna G9 Ethernet cable aims to deliver the same sound quality as the analog and digital cables in this series. Designed for high-fidelity systems, it develops substance and flexibility for digital music from a NAS or Internet box.
After developing isodynamic panel technologies inspired by Magnepan, first with the DP77 and DP107, then with another design for the DP140 and DP160, where the tweeter protruded from the central panel and was embedded in the wooden side structure, the two Montalbanais...
Long convinced that the purity of the electrical current in hi-fi equipment is essential for optimal performance, Charles-Henri Delaleu has developed a range of external power supplies, the first of which, called Nano Power 2, has just been launched on the market. Based on extremely low ripple and noise levels, this new addition to 3D-Lab’s Nano range is available in one or two rails, allowing different output voltages to be set for dual use with products requiring different voltages.
