WK Audio TheRay

4 days ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

We’ve been watching the growth of Polish cable brand WK Audio for some time. The brand seriously impressed us with its TheRed power cords (tested in Issue 221), loudspeaker cables (tested in Issue 227) and interconnect cables (tested in Issue 237) and looks like doing the same with its more affordable and practical TheRay power cord. The original Red is a hand-made cable that features individually shielded conductors.
Advance Paris A12 Classic

4 days ago | hifiplus.com | Chris Frankland

Advance Paris is a well-established player in Europe, selling in more than 40 countries worldwide, but when I spotted it at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show earlier this year, it was still a new name to me. Established in 1995 in France as Advance Acoustic, it started with a range of five loudspeakers and only branched out into electronics once it launched its first integrated amplifier in 2004. The first product under the Advance Paris brand came along in 2013.
DALI Rubikore 8

First there was the Kore, the mahoosive mighty Kore at £85k, then came the marginally more affordable Epikore 11 at £40k. Now, the trickle has turned into a flood and borne fruit in the shape of Rubikore at £2,299 and up. DALI has followed classic loudspeaker design practice with Nordic efficiency in turning the ideas developed for their flagship into an affordable range of ambitious loudspeakers in just two years, the engineering department must be a busy place.
EMT 928 II Turntable and 909 HI Tonearm with EMT Tondose cartridges

4 days ago | hifiplus.com | Ed Selley

Vinyl replay is replete with brand names that have been in the business of making turntables for a very long time; given the fundamental… maturity… of the technology in question, it could hardly be otherwise. Even among the more illustrious names though, some companies manage to maintain more of a mystique to them than others.
Munich High-End 2025: Systems and everything else!

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

So far, we’ve focused on new hardware launches at Munich High-End 2025. This is for everything else; the products and technologies that don’t conveniently fit into one of the usual audio silos. It’s also the systems, built specifically for the show; not to show off a new device, but just as a flex for a manufacturer or distributor. Some of these companies see Munich High-End 2025 as a flourish or a sign-off.
Munich High-End 2025: Loudspeakers

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

There were hundreds of new speaker designs on show at Munich High-End 2025. Beyond all other categories in audio, the loudspeaker ‘beat’ is one of the hardest at the show. This is due to the sheer diversity of products and prices available. You are always going to miss dozens of good speakers. This is why ‘loudspeakers’ are always the largest category in the show report. Michael Børresen of Audio Group Denmark is one of the busiest designers in the industry.
Munich High-End 2025: Amplifiers

1 week ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Arguably more than any other category in audio, amplifiers show the widest diversity in technology and form factor. The term encompasses various audio components, including integrated amps, pre- and power amps, solid-state and ‘hollow-state’ designs of various classes, hybrids, DSP-driven designs, and more. Here are some of the most exciting newcomers at Munich High-End 2025.
Munich High-End 2025: A New Era for Audio

2 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

The last-ever Munich High-End saw several significant launches in the digital domain. This is a crucial time for digital audio. The transition from physical disc to stored and streamed digital files gains greater momentum. This is part born out of necessity; the ongoing availability of magneto-optical mechanisms is becoming ‘patchy’ at best. However, it also comes down to significant improvements in both hardware and software, beyond physical digital media.
Munich High-End 2025: A Grand Finale

2 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Munich High-End 2025 was a fitting sign-off. Next stop: Vienna!The halls, atria, and rooms of the MOC exhibition space, the Motorworld event hall and hotel, and the Hi-Fi Deluxe show in the Marriott Hotel, five kilometres away in Schwabing, all rang out for the last time with the sound of high-end audio. According to the High-End Society, 22,818 visitors from 92 countries attended to see nearly 1,000 brands showcased by 501 exhibitors.
Benchmark DAC3 B

3 weeks ago | hifiplus.com | Alan Sircom

Benchmark Media Systems’ no-nonsense approach to all things audio is rare today. The company doesn’t make products with mind-bogglingly heavy chassis. It doesn’t use components made by the Capacitor Ancients or circuit boards resting on magic pads made from panda eyelashes. It doesn’t charge its customers like a wounded buffalo. And it doesn’t opt for rare file formats that no one has ever used, despite enthusiasts thinking they sound clever.
