We have the new Cambridge Audio EVO 75 and 150 all-in-one units now in stock, and the EVO 150 is in our Bamboo room and ready to audition! With Hypex NCore Class D amplification, StreamMagic music screaming, and a high end DAC, just add a source and speakers and you’re ready to go! They have 6.8″ high resolution displays that also display the album art when listening to a streaming service. Besides the usual modern list of connections (USB, aptX HD Bluetooth, etc) it also has HDMI ARC to be able to connect it to a ARC output TV, allowing it to drive your home theater stereo sound as well. The 150 has 150 watts into 8 Ohms, while the 75 has 75 watts. These are garnering great reviews! Reviews and more information here, here, here, and here!

The latest edition of The Absolute Sound (Nov 2017) features the “50 Greatest Bargains in High End Audio” for which we have many of the featured products on hand and ready to demo. In the “Entry Level” section, it covers the Rega Planar 1 turntable, and the NAD D3020 Integrated Amplifier. The NAD Integrated Amplifiers have a long history of providing great value. No other Portland, Oregon store carries these great values. We currently have this system set up with a Rega Fono Mini phono stage. If you’re ready to get started in great high end sound without breaking the bank, start here at Stereotypes Audio, where we have components and systems at EVERY price point.

Stereotypes Audio of Portland, OR is excited to be carrying NAD Electronics, including the brand new NAD Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier C368! This is another wonderful All-in-one unit that can also be run with the BluOS app on your mobile device or tablet. It’s an integrated amplifier with a built in DAC, and the ability to expand its capabilities with add on internal modules (including the optional BluOS module). The unit we are demoing in our bamboo room is already sounding great. They offer a lot of value. We will have more NAD products coming in soon and will post about them as they come in.

Featured Product: Moon by Simaudio Neo ACE

Technology has made an entirely ‘Brave New World’ in HiFi audio these days… and mostly for the better. But with it comes the potential for a lot of complications and learning curve… At least… that’s how many perceive this brave new world. DACs, downloads, streaming, WiFi, Bluetooth, ethernet, hard drives, etc. Not to mention AIFF, WAV, MP3, DSD, 16/44, 24/96, 24/88, 24/192, 32/384, DSD, double DSD, Quad DSD… oh my!!!!! How can you get the best sound and modern advances, but without all of the potential headache and complications? And what about price? Well… Moon by SImaudio has been thinking about you.

(more…)

Some quick news… We got the new Moon by Simaudio ACE that everyone has been waiting for in stock now, and it’s sounding great right now! We also just got a bunch of brand new Rega Planar 3 turntables in. They have returned to the original Planar moniker.

This one will be sure to please not only the reviewers, but the listeners. We also have the new Cambridge CX line of Integrated Amplifiers. Both the CX A60 and CX A80 Integrated Amplifiers. (btw, Cambridge dropped the ‘Audio’ part of their name). Update: We just got in the Cambridge CXN Network Music Player, and it’s sounding quite wonderful! We also have in the MyGroov phono stage from Micromega, to join our MyAmp and MyDAC. We’ve already mentioned this before, but we also have the wonderful new affordable JL Audio Dominion subwoofers in the 8″ and 10″. Our Home Theater/Multi-channel room is sporting the Marantz Preamplifier AV7702. (in addition to the Focal Aria center channel CC900). And in case you missed this before, we have the truly amazing and well reviewed Moon 430HA by Simaudio headphone amplifier with optional built-in DAC. Wow. This is as good as it gets for headphone amplifiers. We have it in place with our line of headphones, so that you can hear every ‘can at their absolute best. It’s so good, you could even use it as your system DAC.
