SUPER NATURAL AUDIO, CML MUSIC AND CLIPAUDIO TO PRESENT NEW PRODUCTS IN ROOM 142

Super Natural Audio, CML Music and Clipaudio will be exhibiting together in Room 142 at the North West Audio Show 2026 with a system focused on high-sensitivity loudspeakers, valve amplification, analogue playback and a unique valve DAC.

CML Music will use the show to launch the new Etude Tri-Linear Array loudspeaker. The ETLA is a floor-standing sealed-box design developed for room-friendly boundary placement, featuring a high sensitivity rating of 99dB/W and an impedance designed to suit low-powered valve amplifiers.

The loudspeaker includes user-adjustable treble and presence settings via solderless resistor connections on the input panel. Standard finishes start from £3000 per pair, with veneer and piano lacquer options also available.

Super Natural Audio will be demonstrating its reference valve DAC, which uses a valve digital input stage, valve output stage and valve rectification throughout the design. Amplification will be provided by the company’s 300B single-ended triode integrated amplifier, rated at 8 watts per channel and also featuring an all-valve design with twin choke smoothing.

The system will also include an SNA valve preamplifier and an EAR-Yoshino 834 phono stage.

Analogue playback will be handled by the Clipaudio Dolomite turntable and Nine-Wave tonearm. The Dolomite is a suspended belt-drive design with a separate speed controller and power supply, while the Nine-Wave tonearm uses a curved titanium arm tube designed to align the stylus tip with the vertical bearing.

For the demonstrations, the turntable will be fitted with an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge. Clipaudio will also have the clear acrylic Crystal version of the Dolomite turntable on static display throughout the weekend.
