New Arrivals

Accessories
This year, NESSIE launches 2 new higher models namely, Vinylmaster Advance and Vinylmaster Reference.

The new flagship Vinylmaster Reference spots several advance enhancements. Now you can clean a LP faster, easier because it cleans double-sided. LP liquid application and vacuum drying are also done on both sides simultaneously. A new digital display is also added to show you the LP solution marker, # of washes done so far among others.

We expect the new flagship to arrive sometime in April.

Amplifiers
Latest from Rogue Audio (USA) –

Pharaoh II is now a 250w amplifier thanks to the advances made in their DragoN power amplifier. The upgraded phono stage, redesigned headphone section and the more accurate Hypex N-Core modules all push this already top notch integrated amp ever higher.
