Zenith XST20 represents the beginning of a new product line, soon featuring a trio of matching desktop components and focusing on the High-End market. XST20 comes as the first one in line, serving as the traditional SACD / CD transport for the setup. It will soon be paired with a top-of-the-line DAC and later joined by a Linux-Based Streamer Transport.
SACD with True DSD Output
Designed to unlock the full potential of SACD discs, Zenith XST20 offers a unique option to play any SACD in its true DSD quality to any external DAC with DSD capabilities. Utilizing either I2S connection for full native DSD64 or DSD64 DoP over the Coaxial / Optical / AES / BNC.
Developed and manufactured in-house by KECES, our toroidal transformer delivers clean and stable power through precision winding and carefully selected materials. It effectively reduces background noise, enhances detail resolution, and lays a solid foundation for superior sonic performance.
While Overture XM5 offered the unique ONIX design and pure music platform, Waltz XM10 was setting trends with its compact dimensions. Tocata XM2 now merges both of these design approaches into an affordable and practical Music player, bringing the unmistakable ONIX quality to a new level of compactness.
The original Torus Power models in the RM series remain unparalleled for performance, protection, and value, with models from 4 Amp to 45 Amp.
A popular model in the RM series is the RM 16CE. Smaller models RM 8 CE are ideal for mid-size systems, while the RM 4 CE can be dedicated to front-end components, media servers, etc.
Larger custom installation models rated 30 Amp and 45 Amp provide clean, protected power for the largest custom installed systems.
Full-feature state-of-the-art power transformer, isolating and protecting your system. Like all Torus Power products, the AVR ELITE series provides true isolation (using massive toroidal transformers) and protects all connected equipment from the risk of severe power line surges using series-mode surge suppression.
In addition, Torus AVR ELITE provides stable voltage to keep equipment running in the optimal range of 116VAC to 124VAC (120V +/- 4V) for any input voltage from 90V to 130VAC. (International units operate within nominal input voltage such as 220V, 230V, 240V; Torus AVR ELITE keeps them operating within a range of +/- 8 V.)

The new Wilson Acoustic Diode isn’t an optional device; it’s an essential one. It dramatically lowers the noise floor, both boosting dynamics and revealing previously obscured musical details.
As I wrap up this review, I have 14 Wilson Pedestals in use in my system. I don’t plan on removing any of them. I purchased all of the review samples that Wilson provided me.
The WATCH Dog is an ultra-high-performance, compact, passive subwoofer. There’s a widespread myth that since subwoofers operate in the low to subsonic frequency range, the sonic quality of the amplifier used to drive them is not critical. Couple that with the fact that FTC-mandated criteria for power amplifier specifications don’t apply to active subwoofers—a loophole which allows manufacturers to wildly inflate performance claims for what are, in many cases (no pun intended) the severely sub-standard amplifiers built into their subwoofers.
From the beginning, the Wilson Audio Special Application Engineering® team wanted to create a subwoofer system that follows the North Star development parameters set forth by David Wilson. We are excited to demonstrate how much of David's original intent is captured by Lōkē and invite you to visit your local authorized Wilson Audio Dealer for an unforgettable musical experience that will reshape your thinking around small footprint subwoofer systems.
I’ve lived with many, many of the world’s greatest loudspeakers in my home, and heard countless others at shows, but I’ve never heard a speaker quite like the Chronosonic XVX. It is the most realistic sounding, the most musically expressive, and the most intellectually and emotionally engaging loudspeaker I’ve heard.
I designed the WATT for my own use, so I was surprised at people’s excitement to buy it. This was the first time I truly understood Authentic Excellence. I designed the loudspeaker I wanted and was delighted when others wanted it too.
For me, the organic design of the Yvette makes it the Wilson product that comes closest to the magic of an Apple design—and the one most pleasing to my eye. That beauty in the eye of this beholder, combined with its rich tonal palette, its facility to re-create a large lifelike soundstage and its flair for sounding larger than it is, make the Yvette my new reference—a speaker that fits my space and fulfills my requirements for engaging, dynamic, rich sound...
With the SabrinaX’s in the house, I smiled whenever I thought about the last time I’d listened to music and looked forward to the next time I’d be able to.
