How much?! That’s not an uncommon response to the price tag hanging from more than a few of the very high-end audio
products that have featured in Hi-Fi News over the years. The
£137k Engström ERIC Encore tube amps [HFN Nov ’21] raised
a shackle or two [see p119] but I remember even greater outrage
greeting the arrival of Naim Audio’s Statement NAC/NAP S1
preamp/monoblocks [HFN Jun ’15] at £155k, now £179k. The debate about the cost of these very limited edition pieces, all typically comprising years of product development, countless staff payroll hours, custom components and requiring unique tooling, will rumble
on. Our cover stars this month, the astonishing-looking, fabulous-sounding and backbreakingly heavy NHB-468 from Swiss brand darTZeel will doubtless spray more jet fuel onto the fi re [see p40].

MUSIC: George Michael’s fi rst solo album, Faith, is our Vinyl Icon (p84), while Steve Sutherland recounts a career cut short by tragedy as Kirsty MacColl’s Kite reappears on 180g vinyl (p82)

Welcome, audiophiles, enthusiasts, music fans and lovers of all things luxury to our annual Yearbook. So, while the weather and world news reports are never short of gloom, it’s reassuring to know there’s absolutely no shortage of global goodwill when it comes to audio goodies, as Hi-Fi News & Record Review celebrates the hardware that inspired our senses and the music that stirred and sustained our souls throughout 2023. Pour yourself a glass of what you fancy, sit back, and savour our annual festival of the most vivacious vinyl-playing hardware, massive monoblocks, tube integrateds and networkconnected Class D divas. We’ve
some delicious digital players, DACs, and loudspeakers of every size and stripe. While leafing through the jewels of high-end audio featured in this bumper 180-page collection, I hope you’ll also be tempted to seek out some new sounds from our choice of heavyweight LPs, CDs and ‘virtual’ digital media. Hi-fi is, after all, our window on the world of music. We’ll also pause and reflect
on the innovations that drive the evolution of our shared passion and look back at some vintage audio heroes to remind us of hi-fi ’s impressive pedigree. We’ve been there from the beginning of course... Launched in 1956, Hi-Fi News is the world’s oldest specialist ‘hi-fi ’ magazine, even pre-dating the stereo revolution itself! It’s fair to say we are woven into the very fabric of the high-quality audio scene, having explored and catalogued every step in hi-fi ’s journey for the last 67 years. We’ve stood the test of time as the audiophile’s reference – every month, we independently research, lab test and audition the newest high-end hi-fi from established brands as well as the new kids on audio’s block. So if you want to read the first in-depth tests of the world’s fi nest hi-fi then why not join us on the adventure. Who knows – next month you may discover that once-in-a-lifetime upgrade you’ve always dreamed of!

Although this month’s cover is dominated, quite rightly, by Monitor Audio’s remarkable Hyphn loudspeaker [another ‘World Exclusive’ for Hi-Fi News readers], we have another product that wears its technical intrigue on a less flamboyant sleeve.

And so much more!

Lockdown allowed many music lovers to rediscover the joys of physical media, and the vinyl LP in particular. No longer rushing from place to place, listening ‘on the fly’, more people were enticed by the intricacies of album art and the ritual of slipping a precious platter from its sleeve, savouring the expectant hush that heralds a stylus dropping into the groove. Sales of turntables, arms and cartridges improved but it was vinyl’s overtake of CD that had its foot put firmly on the gas. 2021 saw the gap close but 2022 was the first year since 1987 that LPs outsold CDs. Naturally we’re not the only interested party reporting on this boost to the vinyl resurgence, so it’s important to stress we are talking about sales value and not volume here. Record companies deal in cold, hard dollars…

While we always go the extra mile to ensure your favourite hi-fi magazine is the first to bring you in-depth reviews of the latest high-end gear, neither should we forget that the very best back-to-basics separates often have competitive lifespans that extend beyond a decade. The Nagaoka cartridge and Simaudio integrated amp featured in this issue are perfect examples of long-lived success. 

So while we double-down on Wilson Audio’s new Alexia V – previewed to the general press en masse before being setup by brand ambassador Peter McGrath
in HFN’s listening room for our exclusive review – we’re also getting reacquainted with these two stalwarts of the hi-fi scene.

SME is another brand deservedly famous for the longevity of its products, so new SME turntables are almost guaranteed to send a ripple through the vinyl-loving
community. Naturally, we were delighted to have the very first sample of SME’s Model 12 MK2 on our photographic bench before a press release had even
been written…

CD is now as much a ‘legacy’ format as the venerable LP. Some of our readers may well have owned a Philips CD380 – the star of this month’s Vintage Review, and a great deal of us still get a lot of listening pleasure from the little ’ol silver disc. We regularly get mails from readers who are returning to CD having switched off the ‘streaming experience’. Part of this is surely the lack of ‘ritual’ about playing locally stored downloads or snagging fi les from the cloud, but it’s also a reflection of the fact that so much of the 24-bit potential of ‘modern digital’ goes unrealised.This month’s hi-res album choice is a 16-bit CD file and yet its practical dynamic range is exceptional. There’s life in the old format yet!

In this issue: As two exemplars of the science and art of loudspeaker design, DALI’s KORE and YG Acoustics’ Cairn new models have more in common than you might expect. Our reviews have the inside story on both designs with our in-house lab testing by way of further insight, so dive in and relish the diversity of modern hi-fi design. PS Audio’s top-of-therange monoblock amplifiers (and the last to have been penned by the late Bascom H King) make a fabulous partner for either loudspeaker. See inside for more!

There are occasions, possibly just once in a lifetime, where an event of such momentous, historic importance stops us in our tracks. Wherever we were, whatever we were doing, these are the rare moments that become indelibly imprinted upon our personal and collective memories. For many of us, Thursday the 8th September 2022 will be that day. Early that morning the great and good of the hi-fi industry had begun to arrive at the Ascot Grandstand, home to the UK Hi-Fi Show Live in September, And then, in early evening, the devastating news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. An extraordinary 70 years of constancy, of service to the nation. It was the end of the second Elizabethan era. Everyone at Hi-Fi News extends their condolences to the Royal Family. The UK Hi-Fi Show Live will return to Ascot in 2023.

Your October issue of Hi-Fi News has expanded into a bumper 172-page offering where, as the exclusive UK member of EISA’s Hi-Fi Expert Group, we can reveal the cream of the crop, as tested, judged and voted for by the most respected quarters of the international audio press.

We typically consider the music of our formative years to be ‘the best of all time’, so too do we look back with similar affection at the hi-fi separates that tempted us in that same period. Looking back, hi-fi ’s boom years loosely corresponded with the span of The Beatles’ career, levelling off during the 1970s-1990s. So when our US columnist, Barry Willis, cites 1980s hi-fi as his vintage ‘sweet spot’ [see p113] there’ll be fans in equal number rooting for hardware from every other era.

We’ll have one of the largest displays of pristine vintage audio assembled at our UK Hi-Fi Show Live in Sept, so if you want to revisit those cherished memories, grab a fast-track ticket (https:// hifi showlive2022.eventbrite. co.uk) and avoid the queues!

Naturally, we’re all very excited at the prospect of meeting so many of you again at our own UK Hi-Fi Show Live, hosted at the Ascot Grandstand on Sept 10-11th. You can keep tabs
on the top shows via our ‘Events Diary’ at the end of News pages.

In our July issue: Thirty years in the waiting, if not in the making, SME has finally launched its 60th anniversary turntable, albeit delayed for a couple of years by the pandemic. A rare and genuine example of art meeting precision engineering, the smooth curves of the Model 60 cleverly disguise its 65kg bulk.

Also in the news this month are the floorstanding LS60Ws from KEF, described as ‘the first Single Apparent Source wireless system’. KEF’s 12th
generation Uni-Q driver has its treble dome in the throat of the peripheral midrange driver and shares the same acoustic centre.

Music: Defining the Motown sound – The Supremes’ Where Did Our Love Go is our Vinyl Icon. Steve Sutherland samples the triple-LP Build The Ark from
The Upsetters, now on 180g vinyl.

And much more!

Some highlights from the June issue of Hi-Fi News, available now!:

PS Audio has not been short of both positive expectation and forecasts of a fall in the long – very, very long – gestation of its first loudspeaker. As it turns
out, the aspen FR30 is no vanity project, for not only does it sing very sweetly but it pretty much sets the standard for man-sized floorstanders at, and
comfortably above, its £28k asking price. To all those dyed-in-the-wool speaker brands who have deservedly ruled the roost for decades... watch out!

Ans so much more!

As hi-fi shows re-open and audiophiles can again look, touch and hear those rare breeds of our hi-fi world, we have a report from Florida, Montréal next and, of course, Munich’s seminal High End after that. We are also beginning our ‘sneak previews’ from the Ascot Grandstand as key brands start their preparations for our own UK Hi-Fi Show Live in September.

In this issue we look at the over 400 new releases have been revealed for Record Store Day on 23rd April, including albums from the likes of Taylor Swift, Alice Cooper, Joni Mitchell, Steve Hackett and even Motorhead. There are two new offerings from the Bowie estate, the Brilliant Adventure and Toy EPs, both on vinyl and CD. This 15th annual RSD is particularly special, not only for the breadth of content slated to arrive, but also because it marks the return of a truly physical retail event following the RSD ‘Drops’ that were imposed by Covid lockdowns.

A note from the editor. As this month’s cover star is, as hinted, the partnering tri-chassis’d Relentless Preamp – reassuringly heavy at 60kg as befits a member of the Relentless clan. It’s clearly a work of passion, as my interview with Dan explains [p43], and it’s still absent the dedicated phono stage and digital streaming module – yet is this the line-only preamp to rule them all? I’ll let Ken Kessler have the first and last word on this, starting on p40. Meanwhile, the stunning Wilson Alexx Vs and Transparent Gen 6 cables had never left our room [HFN Jan ’22] – it’s by far the costliest system we’ve savoured. Sadly, they want it back.

If 2021 provided us a little more ‘positivity’ than the annus horribilis that was 2020 then, by this circumspect scale, the artisans who press our vinyl will surely be popping more than a few corks in January 2022. The first week of the New Year typically sees the BPI (British
Phonographic Industry) reporting its statistics on just how, and by how much, we’ve been consuming our music media. Now, I’m writing this before Big Ben once again strikes up its familiar chime, but the runes look very good for sales of the black stuff. By all accounts it
seems in excess of fi ve million units (albums) were purchased in the UK throughout 2021, an increase of eight percent on 2020 and the 14th consecutive year of growth since the ‘vinyl revival’ kicked off in 2007. In Vinyl Release Steve Sutherland considers the legacy of Cat Stevens’ 1971 LP, Teaser & The Firecat, now on 180g. We discuss The Hi-Fi News Pledge - Why you can trust our reviews. We review, MBL Noble N11/N15 - German-made pre/power amps with an artisan spin on Class D have no shortage of slam or subtlety.

As the nights get a little longer, audiophiles across the land will be settling down for an evening’s music-making with their fave LPs and hi-res streams. And while you are surrounded by stereo what better than a copy of Hi-Fi News by your side?
