Unveiling Astell & Kern's Latest Hi-Res Audio Player and IEMs: Your Sound Sanctuary Awaits
Astell & Kern, the renowned name in the audio industry, has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with its latest release: the SP3000T hi-res audio player. This cutting-edge device seamlessly marries the nostalgic warmth of tube amplification with the precision of modern digital technology. The SP3000T boasts a Triple Amp system, allowing users to switch between tube amplification, a digital op-amp, or a hybrid of both for a customizable listening experience.
At the heart of the SP3000T are twin Raytheon JAN6418 MIL-SPEC vintage vacuum tubes, renowned for their ability to infuse music with a rich, velvety warmth. Astell & Kern proudly proclaims that these tubes “create a uniquely warm and soothing tone,” ensuring that every note resonates with unparalleled clarity and depth. The SP3000T is a testament to Astell & Kern’s commitment to delivering top-tier sound quality without compromise.
Complementing the SP3000T is the equally impressive NOVUS in-ear monitors (IEMs), a collaborative effort between Astell & Kern and Empire Ears. Encased in luxurious “Diamond-like carbon” aluminum shells with 24K gold-plated faceplates and sapphire glass, the NOVUS IEMs exude opulence at every turn. Inside, dual purpose-built W9 dynamic drivers work in harmony to deliver an audio experience that is truly in a league of its own.
The NOVUS IEMs have been meticulously designed to synergize with the SP3000T, ensuring a seamless integration that elevates the listening experience to new heights. While optimized for use with the SP3000T, these high-end IEMs are versatile enough to be paired with other compatible audio sources, allowing audiophiles to enjoy their favorite music in uncompromising quality wherever they go.
As a limited edition release, the NOVUS IEMs are set to make waves in the audio community. With a price tag of £4,999 / $4,999 / €5,799, these premium IEMs cater to discerning music enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best.
