PRO-JECT VINYL NRS BOX S3 A slight crackle is a part of the joy of listening to vinyl. But if you’re a collector of classic and second-hand records, you’ll know only too well you can have too much of a good thing. Fortunately, Pro-Ject has come up with an innovative solution for taming pops and hiss on your older LPs. Stick this innovative device in after your phono preamp and its digital de-crackle algorithms will get to work reducing the peaks of pops and clicks by up to 8dB, depending on how high you set its potentiometer. Still not happy with the amount of fuzz reaching your ears? Then hit the Vinyl Noise Reduction System switch! This splits the audio into two distinct frequency bands and runs it through two expanders…

Everyone loves a good bargain. David Dickinson. Pete Townshend. Faust. Which is what makes this such a wonderful time of year: bargains abound, from October’s Prime Day 2: Prime Another Day to the upcoming Black Fortnight (or ‘Friday’, as they still insist on calling it). No matter where you look right now, you can net some satisfying deals on top tech. I’m not immune to the temptation to shop until I… well, need a sit down. Everything from music gadgets to the new Kindle Scribe are currently sitting on my, ahem, ‘short’ list and that’s just the gadgets.

1 GOOGLE PIXEL WATCH • From £339, store.google.com It’s finally arrived. After literally years of speculation, and a fair few leaky months where we were pretty sure of exactly what the Pixel Watch would be but couldn’t actually tell you, it’s here. But does Google’s first official foray onto the wrist make the most of the company’s acquisition of Fitbit and its experience in producing WearOS for others – and has it kept enough tricks up its sleeve for this to be special? All signs point to yes. While the processing package in here isn’t the burliest, comprising primarily of the Exynos 9110 chip found in some older Samsung Galaxy Watches, early wearers suggest that helps its battery make it through 24 hours without the need to drop to a low-power mode or…

BATTER-Y POWER FASTER, STRONGER & QUIETER Therabody launches new PRO Gen 5 and mini Gen 2 massage guns As well as launching its SmartGoggles eye-massager, Therabody also recently announced two new massage gun products, the top-of-the-line Theragun PRO (5th Gen, £549, therabody.com) and the smaller Theragun mini (2nd Gen, £175, launching later this year), both bringing more power while also being quieter than their respective predecessors. The new PRO underwent a serious update to make it more appealing to pro athletes and determined amateurs.

The second iteration of the Theragun mini is 20%…
