Audio Research Reference 160M Vacuum Tube Amplifier

Built with a new circuit topology that has the shortest possible signal path, the Audio Research Reference 160M Vacuum Tube Amplifier offers some of the cleanest audio around. Included in the path is a proprietary auto-bias circuit that works with various types of tubes, constantly working to maintain precise bias and adjust for tube wear, resulting in consistently excellent reproduction. A transparent faceplate gives you a view of the glowing KT150 tubes while doubling as a LED-illuminated power meter, and a solid-state power regulator increases stability.

Sega Genesis Mini

Taking a page out of Nintendo's book, Sega is preparing to join the retro console market with a pint-sized recreation of its most successful console. Built using technology from AtGames, the Sega Genesis Mini promises a plug-and-play return to the days of 16-bit graphics. Details are scant, but you can expect a healthy dose of Sonic, a rewind feature like the previous Flashback model, and maybe a cartridge slot, although the latter is still TBD. Arriving later this year.

Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Smartphone

Sony's phones aren't all that popular — but their camera modules are. Which makes the new Xperia XZ2 Premium noteworthy. Dubbed the Motion Eye Dual camera, its new module utilizes a 19-megapixel color sensor, a 12-megapixel monochrome sensor for contrast, and an Aube fusion image signal processor to crunch results in real-time. As a result, it offers a maximum ISO of 51,200 for stills and 12,800 for video without excessive noise, a depth effect Bokeh mode, a true black and white mode, and both 4K HDR and 960fps Full HD slo-mo recording. Other highlights include a 5.8-inch 4K HDR display, a Snapdragon 845 processor, and a 3D Gorilla Glass 5 body.

HD Vinyl

A newly funded Austrian startup is prepared to change the way we listen to vinyl records. Their process is called HD vinyl and is said to offer better sound quality, higher frequency response, 30% more playing time, and 30% more amplitude than the vinyl records you're currently spinning. To achieve this, audio is converted digitally to a 3D topographic map. Lasers are then used to inscribe the map to a stamper that stamps the grooves into the vinyl. In addition to the improvements to your listening experience, HD vinyl would be safer for the producers as well by eliminating the toxic chemicals used in the current mastering process.

DOT Autonomous Agriculture Platform

What autonomous cars will do for the road, autonomous machinery will do for the farm. At least that's the expectation behind the DOT Autonomous Agriculture Platform. This diesel-powered vehicle has a U-shaped frame that lets it carry various implements directly instead of off to the side or rear, making it more efficient. A bevy of both short- and long-range sensors let it follow its path plan with sub-inch accuracy, while also ensuring it can stop automatically if it senses any safety risks.

Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS Smartphone

Touted by the company as the "911 GT3 RS of smartphones," the Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS has a lot to live up to. It delivers. Up front, there's a 6-inch OLED display with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Around back, it's got an AI-assisted triple camera setup developed by Leica that pairs a 40-megapixel color sensor with 20-megapixel monochrome and 8-megapixel telephoto shooters. It's powered by a speedy Kirin 970 processor, offers up to 512 GB of internal storage, and comes in black or red.

Logitech Crayon

Apple's new base model iPad supports the Pencil. Like any good drawing tool, it also supports the Crayon. Logitech's latest peripheral has a smart tip that adjusts the line weight based on angle, has zero perceptible lag, and is pixel-precise. It charges via the Lightning cable you already have — just 90 seconds is all it takes to get a full 30 minutes of use — and its simple design makes it good for kids and grownups alike.

Climeworks CO2-Capturing Module

Cutting emissions of CO2 is a necessary step towards saving our planet. But that won't help with all the greenhouses gasses already in the air. The Climeworks CO2-Capturing Module can. Currently operating at a geothermal power plant in Hellisheidi, Iceland, it captures CO2 directly from the air, then binds the molecules to water which is pumped nearly half a mile underground where it reacts with the bedrock and forms solid minerals. It's only operating on a "pilot scale" for now — capturing roughly as much CO2 a year as a single household emits — but the hope is that by scaling the technology it can capture 1% of global emissions by the year 2025.

Pirelli Stelvio Corsa Tire

A homologation special, the 250 GTO is one of the most beloved Ferraris ever built. So beloved, in fact, that Pirelli has made a tire specifically for the car. The Pirelli Stelvio Corsa Tire was designed to pair with the 250 GTO — and only the GTO. Engineers studied old photographs to ensure a period correct look while employing modern compounds to give it maximum performance. Part of Pirelli's Collezione series, it's a true passion project, as there are only 36 potential buyers (GTO owners) in the world.

Moasure One Motion Measuring Tool

Developed over the course of four years, the One Motion Measuring Tool uses the same tech that rocket guidance systems utilize to keep track of movement in 3D space. Using accelerometers, gyros, and magnetometers, the Moasure one plots a 3D position in any space to measure distance, angle, level, and more. It fits in the palm of your hand, is more accurate than lasers, GPS, and camera-based apps, and has 24 different measuring modes. It's also waterproof, shockproof when dropped, and has a rechargeable battery that will last for more than 500 measurements on a single charge.

Rama Works M60-A Mechanical Keyboard

Milled from solid pieces of aluminum and brass, the Rama Works M60-A Mechanical Keyboard exhibits a heft and attention to detail often missing from computing peripherals. The base is hand polished to a mirror finish while the top is bead-blasted to a grit finish and then PVD coated or anodized to the desired color. Cherry MX-compatible switches provide an ideal typing experience as well as room for customization, and the optional interior brass weight raises its heft from three and a half to over five pounds. It connects via USB-C and is available in six colors.

MB&F Fifth Element Weather Station

The MB&F Fifth Element Weather Station blends alien-themed design with traditional craftsmanship. Created in collaboration with Swiss clockmaker L'Epée 1839, it consists of four mechanical elements — a thermometer, a barometer, a hygrometer, and, of course, a clock. Each one is modeled after a UFO, can operate as a standalone unit, and sits in a "mothership" piloted by MB&F's signature alien Ross, powered by his own manually-wound movement. Limited to 18 pieces each in silver, PVD black, or PVD blue.

It's paired with the Compass boom arm and Radius III shock mount, both of which are designed for use with the Yeti and combine to get you up and recording in minutes.

Raspad Raspberry Pi Tablet

An iPad competitor, this is not. Built around the versatile Raspberry Pi, the Raspad provides a touchscreen platform for development and tinkering. Behind its 10.1-inch, 1280x800 touchscreen is a wedge-shaped body with a compartment designed to hold a standard-sized Pi. You can swap models out as needed, and a gap in the cover lets you connect a 40-pin ribbon cable. It also offers an HDMI input, a 3.5mm headphone jack, built-in speakers, and a rechargeable battery offering up to 5 hours of runtime. A variety of packages are available, including a bare-bones unit that ships without a Pi, as well as kits with various sensors, a camera, and even a robotic arm.
