It can benefit every system, but it reveals its full capability with loudspeakers that preserve time-domain integrity. With conventional box speakers, the Woodnote brings clear benefits in refinement: clean transients, a calm noise floor, openness, a sense of expression coupled with natural detail and ambience. These gains are easy to hear and will be appreciated by many looking to elevate their digital front-end. However, the Woodnote takes this up a notch or two with a scarcely credible performance when matched with a suitable system.  The way expression is delivered – micro-dynamic shading, breath pressure, phrasing intent and the entire envelope of notes (transient – sustain – decay) – makes performances feel alive rather than reproduced. These qualities become fully audible on systems that maintain low stored energy and coherent timing: often this means speakers that are electrostatics, planar, single-drivers, open-baffles, horns or cardioid speakers. Some box speakers can also work to these levels of performance. Simple crossovers also help.

Topping the Primacy series, priced £86,000, is the three-way T6 floorstander [pictured], while a two-way standmount, the S3, sells for £34,000 plus £1599 for optional stands. The speakers integrate individual amplifiers for each driver ‘section’ – ie, a 600W-rated module powers the T6’s four 140mm aluminium bass drivers – allied to 192kHz/32-bit DSP governing crossover, delay, phase, etc.

Analogue inputs on both RCA and XLR are joined by RJ45 ports supporting the high-resolution Dante audio networking protocol. The latter is also found on JL Audio’s £14,500 Primacy CS control/streaming DAC unit, which includes automated ‘room optimisation’, a built-in MM/MC phono stage, and app interface.

The HumminGuru advanced ultrasonic NOVA record cleaning machine is, in my opinion, a great value when you consider the quality of the cleaning-process implementation and the ability to run a wash-then-rinse protocol — and the only other current RCM that can do thisis the above-noted Degritter Mark II.

If you’re on a tighter budget, you can certainly consider the OG HumminGuru, which is indeed still available, and that model goes for $394. But the truth is, the new HumminGuru NOVA record cleaning machine delivers results that are unmatched by other RCMs in its $700 price range. Without question, the HumminGuru NOVA RCM is highly recommended.
