The previous Aries G1 has been superb but relatively Auralic has released a new model with some significant upgrades including a high mass base and it now supports Airplay 2.

The new high mass plate not only looks great but increases sonic performance as well.

Reviewers have been very positive with the upgrades for the new version as well. Jason from The Ear says when compared to its predecessor:

"what surprised [him] given that they aren’t that different under the skin was that the G1.1 sounded so much better. It has finer detail, is fuller and richer and even excels when it comes to melody, painting a much more complete picture of the music.”

A real sleeper in the marketplace. One Saturday morning recently we happened to leave a pair of these running in stereo with Adele playing through them and three groups of people bought them one after the other in a kind of Hi Fi feeding frenzy. They hadn't intended to buy loudspeakers but they were caught up by the energy and presence that the Acoustix are able to portray.

Their secret is the D'Appolito configuration with large motor to cabinet ratio and an excellent tweeter with a cabinet that is immensely solid.

Once when I was visiting the Krix factory in South Australia they demonstrated the cabinet integrity of the Acoustix by taking one off the production line and asking the nastiest largest Bikiest individual there to destroy it. Well Roy jumped on it, sledgehammerd it, threw it to the ground, dropped it out of a third story window onto concrete and really went for it with quite disconcerting violence.

Unlike Mr Musk and the Tesla Cybertruck windows the Acoustix came out of this encounter unscathed except for surface and corner damage ....

Oh, and they sound damn good too. They have is rhythm, pace and slam that a speaker on a stand has no right to be able to produce. The Acoustix Mk2 is simply toe tapping fun. $1675 in a real wood veneer, or save a few dollars with black vinyl wrap at $1395.

We used to sell these in the mid eighties and they were such a revelation back then.

The introduction of unprecedented levels of musicality by taking a normal amp, running it in pure class a mode and physically turning it inside out so that the casing was the heatsink. The revival of this product by the born again Musical Fidelity company is really exciting. 

There are sensible improvements made to the 21st century version ... motorised remote Alps volume control ... dual rail twin mono power supply ... very high quality components ... direct preamp gain by pass switch

The last one of these left as the new model has arrived. New model VC-E2 is a bit more expensive ($829). This unit is brand new in a box.

This is an affordable way to step it up in your home record cleaning set up. Like the very best of record cleaners, it uses a vacuum to suck up all the residue of the cleaning liquid along with the dirt and grime on your records. Vacuums work so much better than the bath solutions picking up more of the mess on the record that's going to affect the sound and wear out your precious cartridge along the way.

For Audiophiles who love their vinyl, a good record cleaner is a must to prolong the life of your equipment and get the best quality out of the records.

The new range of Loewe Televisions includes some handy features like improved accessibility to streaming apps, better picture quality and integration of soundbars.

Most modern TVs on todays market pay little if any attention to the speakers on a Television. Putting in small tin-can sounding components that face backwards towards the wall making dialogue pretty much incomprehensible.

Loewe has always been one to put in the effort and the capital into good quality sound and that's a particular reason why their TVs stand out from the crowd. 

The Bild is series now integrates this soundbar neatly into the frame of the Bild i Television. 

If you own your own standalone sound system and don't require a dedicated soundbar, the Bild i would be more appropriate. 

The Bild is is perfect for those who want great sound in a slim single unit package.

The Bild is comes in 48", 55" and 65" versions.

The "Aston martin table top radio" has all grown up now that the Ruark R410 is here. This is a lovely piece of kit that smoothly plays all the needed music formats in broadcast and streaming in delightful retro-is-modern form.

Seriously it is surprising how lustrous the finish on this .... radiogram ... is. The real wood veneer feels like expensive designer furniture rather than a mere piece of consumer electronics. And the sound performance makes it a real contender in the market that has hitherto been ruled by the Devialet Phantom and the Naim Muso, you can turn this device up all the way on its tactile knurled metal volume control and it just rocks on.

The streaming reception and connectivity options are exceptional ... the damn thing has optical and HDMI inputs as well as a phono stage ... it seems to be able to play just about everything the old world of analogue and the new world of digital require.
