Trilogy 914 preamp and 994 mono power amplifiers

3 days ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Trilogy has a small but growing range of amplifier products. Two integrated amplifiers, three line-only preamplifiers, a stereo and two mono power amplifiers, two headphone amplifiers (one dedicated for use with electrostatic designs) and a phono stage. The 914 preamplifier and 994 mono power amplifiers are the latest in a long line of understated amplifier excellence. The founder and designer Nic Poulson made his audio bones in the BBC’s broadcast engineering department.
English Electric EE1 network noise isolator

3 days ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Afew years ago, the concept of an audiophile-grade Ethernet noise isolator was unheard of. Today, it’s a prominent feature. The English Electric EE1 stands out as the latest addition to a rapidly expanding range of network accessories. English Electric, a sub-brand of Chord Company, draws its name from a classic British manufacturer of supersonic jet fighters. Chord Company saw the trade name was available and acquired it at, er, Lightning speed.
Bill Frisell: Orchestras

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Jason Kennedy

Bill Frisell is a prolific American jazz guitarist who does not restrict himself to jazz. Orchestras finds Frisell in the company of his long-standing trio with bass player Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston, plus, as the title alludes, orchestras plural. Orchestras is a recording of two concert hall performances with arrangements by long time Frisell collaborator Michael Gibbs, the 87 year old composer who has worked with a number of ECM artists including Kenny Wheeler and Eberhard Weber.
AVID Accent integrated amplifier

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Chris Frankland

Although British hi-fi specialist AVID has been around since 1995, the Accent integrated amplifier is my first exposure to the brand. AVID started when CEO and founder Conrad Mas was 16 and was inspired “to produce a genuinely flawless turntable” on seeing a friend’s homemade design. Mas says he soon realised turntable manufacturers were concentrating on rumble, wow, and flutter and ignoring what he considers the true problem: vibration.
SME Model 60 One of One turntable

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

The SME Model 60 turntable is not just a product. You don’t purchase an SME to gain bragging rights or to join the turntable-of-the-month club. Instead, the SME Model 60 is your LP zenith, a sign of you reaching the vinyl summit. The SME Model 60 One of One turntable is the ultimate seal of that ‘forever home’ deal. The SME Model 60 comes in anodised black and silver with contrasting black detailing in its standard guise. But ‘standard’ is the wrong term.
World Exclusive! Audiovector R 10 Arreté floorstanding loudspeaker

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Audiovector has previously created a flagship loudspeaker, but never one as ambitious as the new R 10 Arreté. And given the R 10 Arreté is smaller and cheaper than the R 11 Arreté it replaces, that’s saying a lot. However, by leveraging the strengths and performance of the rest of the R-Series, this model sets a new standard for the company. In doing so, Audiovector positions itself on the same playing field as some of the ultra-high-end heavyweights.
KEF LS60 Wireless Active floorstanding loudspeaker streaming system

What’s better than a wireless all-in-one audio system? A wireless all-in-two audio system, that’s what – because true stereo sound is a joy forever.
Dynaudio Evoke 30 floorstanding loudspeaker

4 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Ed Selley

Inflation, perhaps second only to time, makes fools of us all. Regarding hi-fi, the ‘key price points’ are a moveable feast that coalesces for a few years before being superseded as the value of money changes. When I first became interested in audio, the £150 stand-mount bracket was an example of one of these price points; indeed, it could muster double-digit group tests, but it no longer exists.
Connected-Fidelity Unity cables

4 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Steve Dickinson

There’s no denying that cables can be a bit contentious. Schools of thought range from those who think paying more than the price of a round of drinks for a cable is a waste of money, through to those who think that spending the price of a new car on cables is the best way to ensure they enjoy the full performance of their audio components. Both ends of this continuum are well catered for, and their advocates seldom demur from their purchase decisions.
Nordost QBASE QB6 Mark III mains distribution block

4 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Steve Dickinson

Whether you view the mains block as a functional accessory or a fundamental cornerstone of a system determines your approach to its price. I’m firmly in Camp Cornerstone, but with a clear caveat – price doesn’t always reflect performance. I’ve been using the Mark II version of Nordost’s QBASE QB6 mains block, which back in the day cost around £1,600, for several years now. It’s the version with six UK-spec mains sockets instead of the eight Schuko fittings on the European-spec QB8.
