  It looks like that the traditional stereo hi-fi doesn't give up in the competition with the technologies of the modern age and the new way audio material is being reproduced.

Three manufacturers from Slovenia and Croatia agree with the above statement, so we are going to take a closer look at their products in this edition of our magazine.

Even during the last year's Zagreb AV Show in Sheraton hotel in Zagreb these manufacturers made us interested with their concept and the quality of reproduction. We are talking about the following companies: Erzetich Audio (SLO – headphone amplifiers), Electron Audio (HR - hybrid amplifiers) and Gallus Audio Technology (SLO - loudspeakers).

However, the evolution of technology cannot be avoided and often times we need to keep up with it in our lives. The best example can be found in the TV receivers that have reached its peak with the LED screen technology in the recent years. The need for development of the more advanced TV screens lead to the full commercialization of the OLED technology in 2016, which will leave a significant mark on the market of the UHD TVs in 2017. In this edition of our magazine, we will get you more familiar with the OLED TV made by one of the biggest preachers of this technology – LG Electronics.

Imagination and pushing the limits is necessary for the improvement of technology and other creative areas, which includes the film industry. One of the people who are making a big impact on the industry is Chilean producer Alejandro Jodorowsky, whose career would have been extremely successful if he was able to screen his movie “Dune”, based on the book of the famous American SF writer Frank Herbert. This incredible story about the Jodorowsky's project you can read about in our movie section.

You must have noticed that the cover page of this edition is decorated with the picture of a young Zagreb-based singer-songwriter Sara Renar, who is experiencing a rapid boom in her career as she has just released her third album “Silence” and with whom he had an interview. Also, in the music section of the magazine, we bring them an interview with a jazz expert Marcus Miller, the founder of British band ABC Martin Fry, first impressions of the latest Rolling Stones album, and much more.

Enjoy reading.
