Today’s V5 Aquarius is a multiple power cleaning system, featuring six independent power cleaning networks in a single chassis, two outputs running for high-current devices such as power amplifiers, while the remaining four are designed for preamplifiers, source and network components. As with the EVO3 it replaces, its role in life is to reduce Differential Mode Mains noise, and the risk of cross-contamination between individual inputs, so that the connected loads do not influence each other’s performance.The V5 Aquarius, along with the rest of the new V5 range, might be the product of a total..

9000A Integrated Amplifier > Classic hi-fi for the modern age Functionally, the 9000A builds upon the highly successful 6000A, which launched in 2018 and remains one of Britain’s best-selling integrated amps. The 6000A recognised that while an amplifier is still the beating heart of any high-performance audio system, just as it has been for decades, a truly versatile integrated amp now needs to cover many bases – digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage for playing vinyl, and amplification for headphones as well as speakers. The AUDIOLAB 9000A is ..

The DetailsToday's review of Electrocompaniet's ECI 6 DX MKII integrated streaming amplifier component is one of two versions of the ECI 6 MKII Line. ECI 6 MKII is a conventional integrated amplifier, while the ECI 6 DX MKII adds a DAC and streaming circuitry. The ECI 6 MKII range is based on the earlier ECI 5 MKII but comes with an improved power supply and a more sophisticated preamp section. The unit is black with five gold buttons, a small status panel, and an LED volume indicator which describes an arc around the centrally located power indicator. Minimalist to a fault.The rear is much bu..

Gold Note is an Italian company that originally made their name with analogue equipment. Their DS-10 EVO is a streamer/DAC which can be supplied with or without an internal analogue preamplifier.It sounds taut and controlled but never rhythmically over-rigid. Its tonal balance is just about spot-on and it never strays into that rather matter-of-fact sense of resolution-first music style that some streamer/DACs do. In fact, its resolving power tends to feel entirely subsidiary to its bouncing sense of tuneful exuberance for most of the time. But what I really enjoy about it is the way it puts a..

There’s a huge number of loudspeaker brands competing to be among the very best in the world, but only a handful have the knowledge, engineering capability, and expertise to build everything in-house, from the ground up. Many elite brands source custom-specified drivers from firms like Scan-Speak. By contrast, ATC designs and builds every drive unit in-house, and hand-builds its own crossover circuits and active amplification packs. The company knows that every loudspeaker design decision impacts the sound—ATC even manufactures the voice coils used in its drivers. In an ATC speaker, everything..
