Canadian high-ender Raysonic has launched a new, integrated all-in-one device incorporating a valve amplifier, CD player, iPod dock and AM/FM tuner in a sleek stainless steel chassis. It offers amplification of just seven watts from each of its channels but also promises harmonic distortion of a vanishingly small less than one per cent.
