Unison Research's new Unico CD Due
Hi-Fi Choice  |  Apr 18, 2016  |  0 comments
The hybrid Unico range from Italian valve specialist Unison Research combines valves with other solid state devices to provide more power and features than traditional valve technology alone can offer. The Unico CD Due joins the range as the new flagship source, and shares the same 'three-panel' design of the range-topping Unico 150 amplifier. The CD player supports apt X Bluetooth streaming and also incoporates a DAC equipped with USB, S/PDIF, AES/EBU and Toslink inputs, which all route through the built-in ESS Sabre ES9018K2M chip. The USB input uses XMOS to handle PCM signals up to 384kHz and DSD256.

Van den Hul adds to Crimson line with new Stradivarius pick-up
Hi-Fi Choice  |  Jul 26, 2017  |  0 comments
Like its namesake, Van den Hul’s new Stradivarius version of its Crimson phono cartridge is lovingly crafted by hand (by AJ Van den Hul himself, no less), but it really gets its name from the ‘Stradivarius Formula’ lacquer that coats its koa wood body – which is similar to what’s used for finishing the famous violins. The new moving-coil cartridge features 24-carat gold coils, a samarium-cobalt magnet, boron cantilever and a proprietary Van den Hul stylus. Each Crimson Stradivarius is built to order and can be customised to the buyer’s specific tastes and setup. It’s available to buy now for £3,999 and Van den Hul also offers a free 200-hour service check up.
