This may seem a somewhat sacrilegious thing to write on a dedicated hi-fi platform, but sometimes less is more. Trek your way around an event like the Bristol Hi-Fi Show and you may end up convinced that you need entire walls stacked to the brim with the latest equipment in order to reach the promised land of perfect audio fidelity. Amps, preamps, DACs, source players, turntables, streamers – there’s practically no end to how complex, or costly, your personal system could become.
Ok, admittedly the SuperConnect Stereo, Revo’s five-star sequel on the original SuperConnect model from 2014, isn’t going to replace the sort of set-up that costs thousands of pounds and needs its own dedicated postcode to accommodate it. What the SuperConnect Stereo could be, however, is the perfect alternative to less complex, separate player-and-speaker systems that nevertheless require space and planning to assemble, and while that £489 / $599 / AU$899 may still seem hefty for something of its size, it starts to make a lot more sense when you consider just what the SuperConnect could be providing the alternative to. It’s also an awesome piece of kit in and of itself, a great reminder of just how pleasurable the experience of simply listening to the radio can be when the sound quality is up to snuff.
