Sonus Faber, the origin for many imitations, revived its original minimonitor loudspeaker line. The first in the new Vintage series was the Minima Vintage. There was another stand mounted loudspeaker cheekily named Toy (photo above) which Sonus Faber decided to clad in real leather.             

A first integrated amp made by daRTzeel (isn't there something from a lizard in the name?). Their is only three silicon junctions in the signal path before entering into the power stage. A healthy 130 watts per output with an 8 Ohm load. Nice.    

Arcam rearranged its product line. All stereo components are removed from the DiVA (Digital Audio and Video) line and now appear in FMJ guise (Full Metal Jacket) with improved casework, additional damping and revised schematics.   

Dynaudio debuted a new affordable speaker line. Excite models replace the Audience line which have been in production in slightly different interations since 1990.


     

This turntable from a Bavarian designer Dr. Feickert has a S-shaped tonearm installed. The tonearm is inexpensive (about 600) and is imported from Japan.
