Bang & Olufsen

Beosystem 3000c

A vinyl record spinning on a turntable is the antidote to the screen-press streaming of today. There is no replicating the connection between listener and music that comes from vinyl: appreciating the cover artwork, handling a physical record with reverence, and experiencing the rich, textured sound that’s produced once the stylus of a quality turntable touches down. The Beosystem 3000c receives vinyl records beautifully. This limited-edition system is a revival of Bang & Olufsen’s classic Beogram 3000 from 1985, except this time it is paired with state-of-the-art Beolab 8 stereo speakers and features wireless connectivity that was but a dream back in ’85. Only 100 numbered sets will be made, finished in artisan walnut and anodized aluminium for a timeless style befitting the system’s sound.

ATC

SCM100 Loudspeaker

The SCM100 speakers from ATC are frequently found in recording studios for good reason. Producing exceptional clarity, dynamic range, powerful bass, and precise mid-range reproduction, they deliver the accuracy, depth, and detail demanded by many of the world’s most discerning artists and engineers. As an in-home component, the speakers allow you to hear your favorite albums with the same force and precision that the artists enjoy when they play back newly finished tracks in the studio.

Bowers & Wilkins

Px8 S2

For an immersive experience, the Px8 S2 headphones are tough to beat. They bring comfort in Nappa leather, plus wireless connectivity. Battery life is 30 hours, and when the headphones need juice, they feature quick-charge capability. Deep, vivid sound quality is powered by custom 40 mm Carbon Cone drive units, while eight microphones afford exceptional noise cancellation. Full controls come via the Bowers & Wilkins Music app. Resistance is futile. As Cheap Trick once blasted, “Surrender! Surrender!”

Ruark Audio

R610 Music Console

Ruark’s R610 assembles all the new-age streaming capability one could need and boxes it in a console with simple functionality and a full-color, high-def display. The styling sets the tone, paying homage to the home hi-fi revolution of the 1970s with cabinet and fascia options in fused walnut. Its built-in streaming compatibility is strictly 21st century, with access to digital radio, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify, and more. The multidimensional console is controlled via Bluetooth but also equipped for hardwired connections. Bellissimo and “God Save the Queen”!
