It may be time to replace your phono cartridge, perhaps even a modest upgrade. Sumiko gives you many options and with the introduction of six new models, it may be time to consider this 40-year-old brand.
The NAD VISO HP70 headphone is the fraternal twin to the PSB M4U 8. Both have essentially the same internal components and specs, and both are equipped with the latest iteration of Paul Barton’s RoomFeel tuning. That is where the similarities end however, as their external design and aesthetics are about as different as can be.
The Legacy Foundation Subwoofer has dual 12” active drivers mated to a pair of 12” super long throw passive radiators. The sub is powered by an ICEpower® Class D amp that can pump out 30 amperes of current (1,000 watts power rating). The cabinet design is like a tower which maintains a small footprint.
The Shinola Bookshelf Speaker system is a rather unique collaboration between Shinola of Detroit and Barefoot Sound to create a high quality bookshelf speaker d...
All these headphone designs are circumaural open back designs. They don’t seal you away from your environment, and people sitting near you can hear (faintly) audio coming from the headphones.

The EluneVision Reference Studio 4K NanoEdge screen is designed with a thin frame for performance and luxury. As a near-perfect Lambertian diffuser with zero surface texture, the finest details of the 4K home video format will be seen from all seats.
The Performa M126Be loudspeakers are part of Revel’s popular Performa series. The Revel Performa M126Be speakers are bookshelf-sized and are intended to be stand-mounted. Although the speakers can serve as side or rear surrounds, their price and performance make it unlikely that too many will be used for that purpose.
