Join Scotty G from Listen Up as he introduces the highly anticipated Sonetto G2 series from Sonus Faber! As the second generation of the award-winning Sonetto series, the Sonetto G2 is the first collection to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically designed for the Suprema system, Sonus Faber's elite flagship line.

Founded in 1975 by college buddies with a passion for sound, James Birch and Lucio Proni, JL Audio is well known for a range of Hi-Fi gear, including car audio, marine audio, home and mobile audio. But they are best known for their subwoofers, like the Dominion d108. And for good reason. They have pioneered core technologies that have propelled their subwoofers to be the ultimate in power, performance and durability.

Captivating even when it’s off. That’s the beauty, literally, of an Art TV. And the new Sony Bravia X93L & Leon Studio Frame combo is currently at the top of our list for TVs that can do double duty as decor. 

So in my journey to find my next turntable where did all this research leave me? I mean learning all of this about the DP-3000NE certainly put it on my shortlist, but what about the DJ proven HiFi praised units from Technics?

The H600 has 303 WPC into 8 ohms with a damping factor of 4000. Not only does it spec high power, but it sounds powerful and can drive virtually any speaker. The H600 features a Dual Mono design, bringing it close to mono block performance in a single box—again, the performance expected from a large system in a single chassis. 

Introducing JBL’s Classic Series of audio components—gear that pays tribute to Hi-Fi’s golden era in the 60s and 70s. The Classic Series features an amplifier and a range of source components with retro looks and sound along with some modern touches to meet the needs of today’s Hi-Fi enthusiasts.

Technics has refined their classic turntable with some new improvements to reduce noise and vibrations, reestablishing it as one of the most celebrated and sought after direct-drive turntables ever. Introducing the new Technics SL-1200 GR2.

The new Kanto ORAs are a powered, compact speaker, ideal for workspace listening, mixing, or even for small to midsize rooms. Inspired by powered studio monitors, they have the sound quality and impact of a high-end bookshelf speaker driven by a dedicated external amplifier. Don’t their size fool you. These speakers sound huge and well-defined. 

The iFi NEO iDSD 2, priced at $899, is the first lossless Bluetooth DAC/Amp with a host of features designed to elevate listening experiences, especially in workspaces. Despite its workplace orientation, it's equally adept in various listening environments. This device delivers features and performance that punch well above its price point, rivaling components costing 2-3 times more. 

The new Marantz CD 50n is much, much more than a CD player. It’s a complete digital hub for your system—a foundation piece really, because it’s a CD Player and also a High-Res Network player/Music Streamer with a ton of other capabilities.

By using upcycled parts that do not hinder performance and have little to no effect on aesthetics, Rega Green Grade Turntables are a good play for the planet and your budget.
