Polymer Audio Master

$130,000

The Master is a mind boggling advance in loudspeaker art and engineering. A world first, the Master utilizes a dual diamond midrange mounted in an MTM configuration which effectively doubles the cone area of the diamond cones. The total surface area used for midrange reproduction is 48cm² of pure diamond. No other loudspeaker in the world today has been constructed to this level of ambition.

The advantages of increased surface area and this type of mounting creates further benefits from the already extraordinary diamond cone, the excursion is reduced in half and the larger surface area can push air in a way that closely mimics a live performance in a wide range of listening environments. The MTM mounting configuration tightly clustered around the tweeter creates a stable spherical radiation pattern that has never been accomplished before with diamond transducers.

An entirely new baffle surface has been developed just for the Master using a metal alloy that is 3.5 times stiffer than aircraft aluminum materials and simultaneously more damped. This eliminates the potential ringing inherent in aluminum and other metals and is the last word in mechanical distortion. The baffle surface has a complex three-dimensional shape to eliminate time smear caused by diffraction which scatters energy and inlaid merino wool absorbs it.

The mibass drivers used in this design have the lowest moving mass for a driver of its size and use a voice coil construction technique that enables a transient response typically characteristic of the best tweeters.

The crossover is a completely outboard structure using the world’s best components. Each crossover cabinet weighs 120lbs and is constructed to completely eliminate mechanical and electrical distortion bringing the noise floor to an absolute ideal. Following our design philosophy the crossover provides steep filter slopes while retaining a minimal parts count (half of what would normally be required). All of our crossovers include time alignment which is achieved entirely in the electrical domain through a passive network which provides the benefits of digital equalization but retains the purity of the best passive networks with short signal paths.

Silbatone L-105 Preamplifier

$10000

L105 Line Amplifier is an innovative adaptation of the symmetrical，fully balanced circuits used in classic tube studio gear.

A balanced FET input stage drives a differential 8416 triode stage which is buffered by balanced parallel JFETs. The output is servo-controlled to avoid the need for output capacitors. Remote control is provided for source selection and volume control, provided by a Tokyo-Kouon broadcast grade attenuator.

All audio cabling is silver litz. The 8416 triode is a super tube and it sets the character of the L105 in a region that is certain to please music lovers from both sides of the tube/transistor discourse.

Output impedance - 200 ohm
Input impedance - 47 k

Tidal La Assoluta

We think it is meaningless to claim and promise it will be another best speaker in the world, since this approach is covered by many nice products already. We had something slightly different in mind: a game changer. Even for us.

The heart of this speaker is the most exclusive driver in this world, something never done before in speaker history and only to find in this speaker - the very first and only pure diamond diaphragm midrange-woofer in the world.

This driver is able to cover a bandwidth range which was so far impossible to think of, so we will cover the whole frequency range from the upper bass till the highest trebles absolutely time coherent and with a linear frequency response with the most perfect diaphragm material at all: pure diamond. And this is just the beginning of this story.... More coming soon.

Mola-Mola New DAC Prototype

From Stereophile:

The stack of boards is a working prototype. The final design will fit flat in a typical chassis.

Mola-Mola's Bruno Putzeys says that he wants to leapfrog the idea of incremental DAC design and create a product that puts us a decade down the road in one jump. To that end, he was showing off a prototype design that he has working, but not fit into a product yet. He adds that it should be ready in about a year.

The soft spoken Putzeys, from the Netherlands, was stationed in Philip O'Hanlon's On a Higher Note suite atop the Mirage hotel, and handed me a brochure and pointed out some details. "Some things can't be done with off the shelf chips. Today's best DAC chip claims no better than 22 bits worth of dynamic range. Mola-Mola's DAC is designed from the ground up using circuits and digital algorithms developed in-house."

Putzeys said the new design is equivalent to 8xDSD.

Emm Labs MTRX

$130,000 /pr

EMM Labs celebrates the eagerly anticipated return of designer Ed Meitner to the world of power amplifiers with the debut of his MTRX reference monoblocks. It has been twenty years since the last Meitner audiophile amp and the MTRX is well worth the wait. More than a decade in the making these 1500W Class A/B solid-state powerhouses are able to drive the most fiendish and complex speaker loads effortlessly, while sounding as sweet, musical and detailed as a classic single-ended triode tube amps. "It is truly a gentle giant," said Ed Meitner.

The MTRX monoblocks achieve their superlative performance and transparency using 21st century technology with proprietary Meitner circuit topologies and zero overall negative feedback. These systems are fully discrete, offering ultra low distortion, very high bandwidth with the ability to deliver huge and instantaneous output currents. The MTRX monoblocks are designed with short and fully balanced audio paths, impeccable speaker protection and self-protection.

Conservatively rated at 750W into 8 Ohms, 1500W into 4 Ohms and they are capable to drive loads well below 2 Ohms impedance effortlessly.

Available in very limited yearly pre-ordered production. Ultrafine CNC finish in silver and black with customers choice of 24K Gold (hard coated plating), Silver (deep nickel plating) and Titanium (dark grey brushed aluminum) center inserts and buttons.

EMM Labs MTRX mono-block reference amplifiers $130,000 US per stereo pair or $75,000 US per monoblock.
