Technics SL-1200GAE coming soon!
Hi-Fi Choice  |  May 23, 2016  |  0 comments
If you weren’t fortunate enough to get your hands on one of the 900 limited edition SL-1200GAE turntables outside of Japan (or the 300 in Japan), fear not as the update of Technics legendary turntable will still be coming to stores in the form of the SL-1200G you see before you here. Boasting a three-layer construction, which consistsof a rigidly combined heavyweight brass and aluminium die-cast platter with deadening rubber covering the entire surface, the SL-1200G is claimed to eliminate resonance and achieve high rigidity and vibration damping during playback. The tonearm follows suit, employing lightweight magnesium, which has been cold drawn to further increase the damping effect. Technics additionally claims that cogging has been eliminated thanks to a new coreless direct-drive motor, which suppresses potential vibrations using high-precision rotary positioning sensors guided by a microprocessor-controlled system.

It's widely aknowledge thatAudio Technica's AT-LP5 turntable is one of the best around at the price – we gave it 4. 5 stars when we reviewed it back in HFC 405 – but there is always room for improvement, and that's where The Audio Files come in. By marrying the Audio-Technica turntable with a highly respected entry-level tonearm – in the shape of the classic Rega RB202 -it's hope that the result might just be one of the best direct-drive turntables available. Further improvement, meanwhile, is afforded the budget turntable with the inclusion of a custom-made 4mm acrylic arm-board that's been CNC laser cut for perfect geometry and optimum VTA.

The Chord Company launches new ChordMusic series
Hi-Fi Choice  |  May 26, 2016  |  1 comments
The Chord Company has unveiled what it is describing as its most advanced cable range in its 30-year history. The new flagship ChordMusic series has been developed using a new insulation material called Taylon, which has never been used in audio cables before. Although its dielectric constant is very slightly lower than PTFE, Taylon is phase stable at typical room temperatures, meaning that it should be able to produce the most natural and musically coherent sound. The range is available as analogue (RCA, XLR and DIN) and digital (AES EBU, RCA, BNC, XLR and RJ45) interconnects.
