Our new video is live.

Dylan thought he was walking everyone through how we set up and test a turntable before it ships.

He did not know he was setting up his own.

Huge thank you to Rega for helping us make this one happen. The Planar 6 RS Edition is a special table, and getting to surprise Dylan with our first one was one of our favorite moments we’ve filmed.

Watch the full video now on the Upscale Audio YouTube channel.

This weeks newsletter followed Upscale Audio employee Jake Spencer on switching from a digital life to analog.

"I think my brain is broken."

So begins Jake Spencer's first article documenting his journey into the world of vinyl playback. Jake is 30 years old and has worked at Upscale Audio for over four years. His current role is on the marketing team, driving Upscale Audio's social media and YouTube campaigns.

"In an age of having everything instantaneously, I feel like I have nothing," said Jake. "But, I am not going down without a fight."

And so, Jake began a journey of intentionality, and a large part of it was to be able to listen to music without needing his phone or having to choose from a million songs.

"I got the go-ahead, and with our analog manager Sean-Paul Williams overseeing my setup, I brought home a starter turntable, cartridge, and phonostage."

On this Saturday newsletter we were able to share Tim G.'s story on streaming at 63 years old. Here's a short excerpt:

"I’m 63 years old, so if I can, you can."
From Bluesound to Aurender, Tim is one happy customer

The Bluesound Node is one of our favorite streaming DACs and a top seller for good reason. At $750, it brings sound quality, a good app, the right features, and a solid build to customers building a balanced budget system or dipping their toes into the world of streaming.

The Node is a major driver of digital upgrades because it is so often the first proper streaming source for customers who've used only phones or laptops. "If this entry-level streaming DAC sounds so good," goes the reasoning, "imagine the sound of the Aurenders and Lumins."

For this Saturday Newsletter we focused on the all new Zesto Athena all tube DAC.

Zesto's new DAC teaches us the value of tubes in modern gear

George and Carolyn Counnas, along with a secret team of digital specialists, have been hard at work finishing up Zesto's newest product, the Athena DAC.

This $15,000 tube DAC uses a high-end digital front end based on a ROHM chip and a tube output stage with two ECC82/12AU7 tubes and two ECC832/12DW7 tubes. It's a Class-A, dual mono design, with the 12DW7 tubes handling the input from the DAC and driving the output tubes, and the 12AU7 tubes driving true differential, balanced output transformers.

We spent a few days last week with the Athena and came away with some new insights on the use of vacuum tubes in cutting-edge digital audio.
