oh that's so if we start off here this is our all new Pro Series the in the middle is the pro I can I'll start there because this has been a release for a few months now so what's really cool about this product is that um this is one of the first amplifiers that can go between solid state and tube in real time so you know it's not a hybrid it's purely solid state or purely tube with just a flick of a button so as I mean that's something we're really proud of and you know we can work on it for quite a while so this is looking at around seven hundred dollars and then this guy in the top you know I personally been excited about for the longest time and it's well our engineers have worked really hard and it's been delay forever but we finally got it right and we're hoping to launch within a few months so this is our ID EST pro we're looking at a Ford dak trips inside dual mono fully a balanced natively it also comes with a headphone amplifier if you you know if you need it but we like to say that you know it's more attack than anything else and it's really designed with that in mind first and this will run around two thousand dollars and at the bottom is kind of a cool little product the idea is that we can make any balance headphone amplifier or speaker amplifier into a another electrostatic am so we call this the I energizer and you're able to tune the voltage to whatever specific setting that you need it for in this case we're actually running the mr. speakers uh electrostatic prototype and it's a honestly a pretty sweet sounding piece and we're really excited that we have this we bought the mr. speakers a lot and got a lot of their products we love them so yeah and we're so when running this guy at a 5 80 volts right now and it sound fantastic so hoping that this will run around four hundred dollars or so cool yeah so this is our Pro Series and then we got these two little gadgets there are fifty dollars a piece you no one messes with the jitter gets rid of some jitter noise and this will you know fix any noise with the ground loop awesome so if we keep moving on this is our our micro series these have been out for quite some time now the i can s-see is quite a popular headphone amplifier it's small but it's powerful it can drive just about anything from any air monitors to the HD 800 no problem and then down the middle is the I tube so if you if you're looking to add a little tube sound to your solid-state a little more tubes down to anything you're really looking for this piece is a really nice job just adding a little bit more warmth kind of getting a real little getting rid of a little bit of that digital sharpness if that's what you're looking to do and then keep moving down we have to I'd act too it's also quite quite a popular piece it's kind of our more simplistic product it's a deck and an amp mostly a DAC similar to our IDs d and that's pretty much all it really does and it does a good job at it and then finally at the bottom is our I USB 3.0 which we just got the enjoy the music award which is really awesome to get you know nice little plaque from them it's really more designed for very high index you know we're looking at a few thousand dollars but it also no fists really nicely with our system so we do keep it there and you can see it's kind of interesting because we have two USB ports into it what it's actually doing is separating the power and the audio signal so you're getting an overall cleaner sound and that's sort of a quick rundown of our micro series with the exception of this guy which isn't really part of the stack because this is kind of all you know does it all all in one devices are I DSD its I as a battery it runs about 10 hours depending on how you use it it's got all kinds of inputs and outputs and it has x.x base 3d which is also featured on our Pro Series products as well as the eye can and we have a cool little system we call ie match it basically allows it to power the most sensitive in your monitors all the way up to you know something like the HD 800 even more difficult to drive headphones and then one of the new things were also sort of demoing now is this little guy this is a really good for people who use phones you know sources that are a little bit more noisy what this is doing it's not quite an impedance adaptive but what it does is it lowers the overall game you know you lower the overall noise and it's um also pretty interesting that we were able to run this in single-ended and balance balance 3.5 unfortunately so it doesn't quite work with a cell and kern but it'll work with some of our products and you know hifi man and other apps that use a 3.5 balance and you know just a flick of a switch and you can switch the balance and then we also have a nano Syria which this gentleman is using here we don't have too much of a nano series out just because you know people tend to want to play with the big boys you know our post series in a micro but they're similar to our micro series products downsized a little bit for more Portability and the last so this is a very interesting product this is our retro stereo 50 it runs from $1,500 but we also have a nice pair of speakers to go with it this is kind of our all-in-one device you know it's a DAC it's a phono stage it's like bluetooth it's an amplifier basically anything you want likely it'll have the only thing that maybe it doesn't quite have is like Wi-Fi connection or something but other than that this guy's pretty much got you covered it comes in a really nice bamboo chassis it's got tubes and it's just a really really interesting and a diverse product that you know fits in a fist in your home and whatever you might need whatever you know whatever your preference is changed you know you still have that kind of input or output to go with so yeah that's a quick rundown of our products
