For anyone with this amplifier, this is your last chance to upgrade to the latest spec. (Mk. III, I think). https://www.monoandstereo.com/2022/11/lyngdorf-millenium-mk-iii-upgrade.html?m=1

Does anyone know if Cardas has been adopted by anyone locally after G passed away (RIP)? Trying to avoid importing myself.

So. My folks are busy moving to a much smaller home. Out of the four complete dinner sets they own, they can only keep one. When my Mom explained this simple reality to me, I had a moment of clarity. I have too much stuff. Specifically, I have too much audio stuff. Something had to change. ...

Hi there. I've been looking into LG OLED now that I have an Xbox Series X to play with. However I'm concerned that they're bringing a hobbled C range model into the country. On both the 48 and 55 inch models of the C1 range available here ( OLED48C1PVB & OLED55C1PVB ) the Refresh Rate is...

(https://www.audiostream.com/content/cambridge-audio-edge-nq-and-cxn-v2-now-roon-ready) Not sure a lot of people have the EDGE NQ, but there must be some who have the CXN v2. Roon functionality is imho a welcome bonus to existing owners.

Whilst googling Japanese hi-fi, as insomniac audiophile types sometimes do, I stumbled on what appears to be quite an interesting design for a valve power amplifier. Not being versed in the fine art of valve circuit design, I thought some of the experts might weigh in, if they're similarly...

Brinkmann Voltaire Integrated Amplifier. (http://brinkmann-audio.com/main.php?prod=voltaire&lang=en) "An entirely new design, Voltaire begins as an ultra-performance Integrated Amplifier. Borrowed from our Marconi Mk II Line Preamplifier, Voltaire?s hybrid circuitry utilizes vacuum tube...

Really interesting approach. In effect, this single unit combines a 600 Watt solid state amplifier for the low frequencies with a 300 Watt valve amplifier for the mids and highs. Also features a built-in, adjustable crossover filter as well as tweakable gain settings. Weight is 77kg, depth of...

Not exactly new news, but haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on the forum. So Niimbus is the high-end brand from Lake People. I think a few of their headamps have done the rounds here. Seems they make some pretty ambitious amps at the $4500+ end of the scale. (That's a serious knob they have...

The new ECI-80D. 80wpc Class AB. Built-in DAC (Co-ax & Optical). MM Phono. 8kg. ?2.100 Although as wide as most EC Classic Series components, this one isn't very deep at all - only 263mm. Could be useful for depth-challenged installations. In a break with tradition, the analogue inputs are...

NP talks about his career in audio design, from the 70s up to the present. No big bombshells, per se, but imho he's just a really cool guy to listen to. (He seems very balanced too, no audiopun intended.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvLWqR7QGPM

Some forum members might remember Rotel's high-end Michi range from back in the day. Here are some early pics of the new models: "Rotel have revived Michi, an aspirational sub brand from back in the day. They have launched some rather good looking amplifiers with OLED displays including...

The article below might be of interest to Roon users: https://www.hifizine.com/2019/07/roon-server-on-odroid-h2/ Could be an appropriate solution for some.

I thought this article might be of interest to some. It gets a little technical, so I didn't want to post it in the General section. Helped me to (sort of) understand what it means to 'leave Class A' and go into Class AB*...

This might be of interest to some. Seems like they're taking on the Audeze mothership. (Love that padding.) https://headfonics.com/2019/05/rosson-audio-design-rad-0-first-contact/ https://rossonaudiodesign.com

They've packed a lot into this one. 120wpc/8Ohm / 220wpc/4Ohm Class A/G Hybrid Amp Separate MM & MC Phono Stage inputs Roon Endpoint Dirac Live included Airplay2 & Chromecast Co-Ax & Toslink DAC inputs (ESS 9038) (HDMI ARC is also mentioned, but is not visible on the product shots.)...

Yes, I know, the Modern Audio Man (MAM) has servers, streamers and subscription services. He need not read any further. But there are still millions of music fans, men and women alike, who enjoy playing their billions of shiny old discs. And for that, they need CD Players. So why not a nice...
