New: RAAL 1995 Magna EVO I
The latest iteration of the Magna combines the familiar, crisp upper bass with a noticeable low-bass punch to create a significantly warmer sonic foundation. Enhanced mid-range frequencies make vocals sound even more intimate and present, whilst subtly attenuated treble perfectly balances the ribbon drivers’ tremendous responsiveness without sacrificing any detail.
New: Audma
Audma from Italy is revolutionising the head-fi experience. At the heart of this ultra-high-quality DAC/amplifier lies the patented, purely analogue ELISA technology. It projects a vivid, three-dimensional soundstage into the room, just like top-class stereo speakers. Using mechanical controls, you can perfectly adjust the distance (Stage) and dispersion angle (Angle) to suit your hearing.
New: ArcTec Berlin - AB 92 "Air Borne"
High-end planar headphones
“If you compare these headphones, which cost €2,400, with the room-filling sound columns that often cost five-figure sums, you could say that they are very good value for money and offer a truly captivating sound experience.” Stereo Review (92/100 points)
