miniaturization was trendyAXPONA 2025 Video 4 has plenty of analog but it also spotlights the miniaturization trend on display—at least among a few companies. In the Sound Organization room (Rega, Chord importers) you'll see the new miniature Chord Suzi modular system featuring a very small yet powerful stereo amplifier into which you can plug a preamp, or a DAC or a phono preamp total size that of shoe box.

even more to come!The beautiful J. Sikora turntable shown in the thumbnail below is not included in this video (it was featured in Video 1) but it's too beautiful to not feature so here it is.

many new products introduced much fun was hadWith Sonic Presence microphones around my ears I dove into AXPONA 2025 expecting to capture binaural sound in every room.

American designed and manufactured phono preamp with unique featuresThe initial interest draw here is a supplied Lenovo Tab M8 touchscreen remote, with Belleson’s visually attractive program installed, that lets you set all functionality from where you sit and listen. A powerful, unique convenience feature for sure, but it wouldn’t be sufficient to justify a review if that’s all that was tacked onto a ho-hum solid state phono preamplifier.

Luckily, we got an early look at a cool new table before heading off to the airport today—so here’s a look at SME’s Model 8 turntable, thanks to @SystemsMonarch https://t.co/kSzbXcjnu0 https://t.co/QKTi0i0GmI
We’re a day away from wheels-up to #AXPONA, but as I noted in yesterday’s show primer, I wanted to share a few cool new gear previews before heading off to the big event. Here’s one of them — namely, the second-gen @VinnieRossi Brama preamp https://t.co/ZAPTaBqkoV https://t.co/Xj7G1VEUGp
As we get ready to head off to #axpona in just a day’s time, we wanted to post a macro-level primer that sets the broader table for what we expect to see and hear at the show before we dial deeper into analog-centric minutiae in our firsthand show reports https://t.co/2QoKF0wtUM https://t.co/bxVMg8t7jf
