UK-based Bluehorizon introduced the compact, two box profano

As I predicted in my review of the $10,000+ Moon Evolution Series Phono Preamplifier, good things happen to those who wait for the company to trickle the technology down to less expensive units.

This sleek new B.M.C. unit combines a preamplifier, a DAC, and a headphone amplifier.

VAC designer Kevin Hayes took me through his two box "Statement" tubed phono preamp. It has four single-ended and balanced inputs, adjustable gain of 52,70 and 76dB, capacitive and resistive loading, mono switch, zero feedback, transformer inputs for MC, and an outboard massive power supply.

Clearaudio debuted the new $3000 Performance turntable/tonearm combo at CES 2013.

The $15,500 German AMG turntable/tonearm combo imported to America by Musical Surroundings is a deceptively simple and compact product but to really understand its unique, high tech engineering requires a look inside.

Acrylic and I don't get along well in the turntable/tonearm world so I remain skeptical about the sonic performance of this $1575 Scheu Cantus acrylic tonearm but of course I reserve judgement until I get to hear it.

Air Tight introduced the newest member of its cartridge line-up, the PC-1S. The new model features even lower internal impedance than in previous models, down to 2.1 ohms.

The venerable Record Doctor record cleaning machine, which resembles a Nitty Gritty minus a record spinning motor has been out of production for a few years now but thanks to the vinyl resurrection (it's gone way beyond a revival don't you think?) it's being resuscitated with a hoped for price of around $200.

ZYX introduced the new $8495 Universe II MC phono cartridge, with an output of .24mV
