It's the next-generation digital player you're gonna die to have. Pioneer introduced their 12,000 DM DV-AX10 "universal" digital player that supports DVD-A, SACD, DVD-V, CD, CD-R and CD-RW. Jeff Fritz just kept saying, "Wow!"

German speaker manufacturer Audio Physic introduced their new Avanti 3 loudspeaker. The speaker will be available in the fall of 2000 for an estimated price of 16,000 DM.

Everyone keeps asking us, "Did you see anything really neat yet?" We always tell them the same thing -- "go see the tube in the Siltech room." Siltech's Edwin Van Der Kley is shown holding the ST1.5 Siltech tube -- yes, a tube! It looks nothing like one, but hey, who are we to doubt him?

The ST1.5 ends up inside the equally nifty-looking Siltech Signature 100W mono amplifier. Retail price is $60,000 USD per pair.

Rega Planar 3 owners get ready for the shock of your life. After decades of production, Rega has finally introduced a re-designed Planar 3 turntable.
