NuForce、新コンパクトステレオパワーアンプ「 STA-100 」を発売へ。

海外ニュース速報 [World]

すでにCES2013にて発表済み。
MSRP $695
NuForce STA-100TM

NuForce developed the STA-100 amplifier for the audio enthusiast as an audiophile-grade stereo power amp housed in an elegant, modestly sized enclosure. Offering quality parts throughout and advanced, high-efficiency switching amplifier operation, the STA-100 delivers genuine NuForce performance and value.

The STA-100’s size belies its power: a robust 160 Watts into 4-Ohms per channel. Sharing technology with NuForce’s award-winning V3 mono amplifiers, mere power alone doesn’t tell the whole story. The STA-100 renders all of your recordings with thundering lows, crystalline highs, and a warm, tube-like midrange – all in perfect balance with exquisite resolution and effortless, fatigue-free sound.

Design & Features
Proprietary feedback circuitry operates as the cornerstone of the STA-100’s sound quality. A self-resonant design, the 400 kHz PWM switching frequency constantly adjusts to the input signal, output current demands, and loudspeaker impedance variations. Incredible speed and accuracy ensure that the most explosive dynamics and the minutest of details convey the kind of life-like sound upon which NuForce’s reputation rests.       To be sure, the STA-100 is destined to find its place as the driving force in a great many music and A/V systems.  When it comes to mating with décor and today’s home audio components, the STA-100’s power, transparency, modest size and sophisticated appearance defy competition at its modest price point. Where sound and style matter, nothing less will do.

Innovative features include:

■  High power – 160 Watts (x2) channels
■  Modest size and modern, elegant construction
■  Proprietary high-speed, negative feedback design
■  Very high efficiency PWM circuit topology
■  Available in stylish Silver or Black finish

LINNから、Akurateシリーズの新スピーカー「 Akubarik 」登場！！Akurateシステムが完成へ。

海外ニュース速報 [World]

We’re delighted to announce Akubarik – a new loudspeaker from Linn that stands apart from the crowd.

Incorporating 40 years of Linn loudspeaker knowledge and expertise, Akubarik includes a host of ground-breaking technical developments as well as building on key technologies from our reference Klimax 350A loudspeakers.

The newest addition to our Akurate range, Akurate DSM plus Akubarik is all you need to enjoy exceptional performance from a beautifully simple music system.

Akubarik is coming to a Linn Specialist near you in April

—————————————————————————————————————–

40 years of Linn loudspeaker knowledge and expertise have been applied to produce Akubarik – a new Linn loudspeaker that stands apart from the crowd.   Akubarik includes a host of ground-breaking technical developments as well building on key technologies from our reference Klimax 350A loudspeakers.

What’s Special About Akubarik?   There are many aspects to Akubarik that make it a very special loudspeaker – here are some of the highlights:

•Integrated

With Aktiv filters and Chakra power amplification all on one board, the circuit layout is optimised for the shortest signal path, eliminating interconnections and reducing noise.   Powered by our latest generation Dynamik PSU, the loudspeaker is completely silent, thanks to efficient and passive cooling without the need for a fan.

•3k Array

Our unique 3K driver array houses the mid-range, tweeter & super-tweeter drive units close together to replicate a single point source with wide dispersion, ensuring great sound wherever you listen.

•Isobarik Bass System

We’ve gone back to our roots with an isobaric bass system cleverly concealed in the lower section of the loudspeaker cabinet to produce lots of rich, deep bass within a surprisingly compact package.

•Cabinet

Already being hailed the ‘Baby Klimax 350A’, Akubarik takes design cues from our reference loudspeaker. But the curves not only look beautiful, they’ve been designed with great sound in mind.

The New Akurate System   Completing the Akurate system, Akurate DSM and Akubarik loudspeakers offer a new level of performance and simplicity, and provide the best value system available in the market at this price point.

LINNから、新MCカートリッジ「 Kandid 」登場！！LINN史上最高音質、限定数量生産。

海外ニュース速報 [World]

LINN Kandid MCカートリッジ：　£2950　４月発表予定
限定数量生産で納品は発注後６ヶ月以上かかる見込み。

Linn Kandid brings a new standard in excellence. 40 years after the introduction of the Linn Sondek LP12, Linn are delighted to announce the arrival of the best sounding cartridge they have ever made – Linn Kandid.

One of the key performance improvements comes as a result of removing the cartridge housing – probably also the most striking aesthetic difference Linn have made to Kandid. Stripping back the housing to expose the motor assembly has resulted in an even purer, cleaner sound than ever before.

More accurate audio reproduction is achieved thanks to the repositioning of the stylus and cantilever within the body of the cartridge. The angle of the magnets and coil in the front pole piece has been off-set so that they are parallel when the record is playing which ensures perfect alignment for accurate movement on the record.

Kandid is the perfect partner for the Linn Ekos SE tonearm. The chassis is machined from the same aircraft grade aluminium as the Linn Ekos SE headshell and features their 3-point mount for completely rigid and accurate coupling with the tonearm.

Limited availability

Linn’s production capacity for Linn Kandid cartridges is limited and as we anticipate very high demand for this product, the lead time for delivery could be up to 6 months, so it’s advisable to place orders as soon as possible.

Specifications:
•Cartridge type: Low output moving coil
•Stylus and cantilever: Slot mounted, 3um x 70um nude line contact diamond in boron cantilever
•Vertical tracking angle: 20 degrees
•Tracking force: 1.72g – 1.77g (1.75g preferred)
•Pin connection type: Flying wire with termination clips
•Recommended load: 70Ω ~ 1kΩ (determine optimum by listening)
•Separation at 1kHz: Better than 35 dB
•Channel balance at 1 kHz: +/- 0.5 dB
•Output at 1 kHz @3.45 cm/s: 0.4 mv
•Weight: 5.7 g (without stylus cover)
