Fosi Audio Launches Its First-Ever Turntable — Luna3

Pure sound. Thoughtful design. Built for vinyl lovers and HiFi perfectionists alike.

SHENZHEN, China, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fosi Audio, a brand known for making high-quality HiFi gear more accessible, today announces the launch of Luna3, its first-ever turntable, debuting globally on Kickstarter, July 31, 2025. Designed with clarity and restraint at its core, Luna3 is crafted for audiophiles, first-time vinyl listeners, and design-conscious users who value sound purity and elegant simplicity.


A Turntable Inspired by Simplicity

In an era of overengineered features and visual noise, Luna3 is a return to form. Fosi Audio’s design philosophy centers on clarity, restraint, and the belief that great sound should be free of unnecessary complexity. Named after the moon, Luna symbolizes purity and quiet power, an image that perfectly reflects the turntable’s minimalist aesthetic and analog soul.

Guided by the principle of “less is more,” Luna3 strips away distractions to deliver only what truly matters: a clean analog signal path, intuitive usability, and a timeless visual presence. Whether you’re a seasoned vinyl enthusiast looking for an upgradeable, customizable system, a HiFi newcomer ready for a serious first turntable, or someone seeking a meaningful, design-forward gift, Luna3 invites you into a slower, more intentional listening experience, one quiet revolution at a time.

Key Features: Designed for What Matters Most

Luna3 brings vinyl back to its essence through design choices that prioritize purity, simplicity, and performance.

Pure Analog Output: By removing the built-in phono stage, Luna3 offers a direct, uncolored signal path, giving users full freedom to pair with their preferred external preamp.

Minimalist Construction: With a matte-black integrated plinth, transparent acrylic platter, and precision-machined tonearm, Luna3 looks refined and performs with restraint.

Thoughtful Engineering: From the Audio-Technica VM95E cartridge and manual anti-skating adjustment to the copper motor head and ±0.11% servo speed control, every component is selected for precise, stable playback.

Upgradeable Design: The stylus and headshell are easily replaceable, allowing enthusiasts to evolve their setup over time.

A Word from the Founder

“With Luna3, we wanted to return to the essence of vinyl: pure sound, meaningful design, and zero distractions. It also marks an important step in our broader vision: building a complete, accessible HiFi ecosystem that lets users grow their system piece by piece.”
Ryan Huang, Founder & CEO of Fosi Audio

Availability

Luna3 will be available for pre-order exclusively via Kickstarter starting July 31, 2025. The retail price is set at $349.99, with Early Bird backers receiving up to 25% off during the campaign.

Tasting Culture and Enhancing Communication: Guiyang Confucius Academy Shares Wang Yangming’s Study of the Mind with the World

GUIYANG, China, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com

As a land with great accomplishments of China’s School of Mind, Guizhou Province has always cherished this precious cultural heritage, and vigorously advanced the project of transformation and application of Yangming culture, to deeply explore its rich connotations and significant value, and actively cultivate the cultural brand of “a highland for the study on China’s School of Mind, thereby seeking a common language and building a bridge of communication for the mutual learning among civilizations around the world.

A Dialogue Delving into Harmony in Diversity

From July 23 to 25, themed on “Mutual Learning of ‘Mind’ and ‘Geist’ between Chinese and German Philosophy”, the “Chinese Philosophy of the Mind and the World”: A Dialogue Between Chinese and German Philosophy was held at the Confucius Academy in Guiyang. This AsiaEurope cultural exchange event taking place at the Dacheng Mountain was attended by 16 scholars from Renmin University of China, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Munich University of Applied Sciences, University of Bamberg, Ruhr University Bochum, Seoul National University, and other higher education institutions.


From Confucius to Aristotle, from Mencius to Kant, and from Wang Yangming to Hegel…during the three-day brainstorming, the Chinese and German scholars had four sessions of academic dialogue centered on different topics, including “The Mind in Chinese Philosophy and the Geist in German Idealism”, “The Geist and its Position in German Idealism”, “Mutual Learning and Convergence between Mind and Geist”, “Mind, Geist and Modern Society”.

“Similar to friendship, the core elements of dialogue are mutual respect and acceptance of dialogue partners on a common basis of rational argumentation, and the core object is to discover the truth that humans attempt to attain with wisdom.” According to Marko Fuchs, a professor from University of Bamberg, there should be constant philosophical dialogues between the East and the West. Only through such dialogues can we gain a true understanding of the purest humanity, and such understanding can only be achieved through joint exploration.

An Exhibition Enhancing Exchange and Cooperation

From June 17 to 20, “The Story of Wang Yangming: Enlightenment in Longchang” Special Exhibition was launched at the art museum of Japan-China Friendship Center in Tokyo. It displayed around 30 calligraphy works of poems and aphorisms related to Chinese philosopher Wang Yangming’s “Enlightenment in Longchang” in order to promote cultural and intellectual exchanges between the two countries. All these calligraphy works were created by Dai Mingxian, Wang Dongling and other renowned calligraphers.

Guiyang mayor Wang Hong stressed in the opening remark that Guiyang is now a young, energetic and wide open city, “I hope that both sides strengthen academic collaboration and expand cultural and artistic exchanges, to jointly promote the culture and tourism integration.” He also noted the significance of the special exhibition, “It will definitely have a positive and far-reaching influence on enhancing our exchanges and cooperation, and spreading the Yangming culture.”

Yuji Miyamoto, president of the Japan-China Friendship Center and former Japanese ambassador to China, delivered a speech in Chinese at the opening ceremony, indicating that Yoshida Shoin, the most famous Japanese scholar of Wang Yangming’s philosophy, was regarded as a spiritual leader of the Meiji Restoration. He said, “The shared culture of Yangmingism has brought the two countries and their people closer.”

The organizer explained that “Enlightenment in Longchang” was a remarkable milestone of Chinese intellectual history. After the “Prosecution by Eunuch Liu Jin”, Wang Yangming was exiled to Longchang Post in Guiyang, Guizhou Province. The place was later turned into a sacred place for commemorating and contemplating Wang Yangming’s thoughts.

The exhibition was organized by the Guiyang Confucius Academy Cultural Communication Center, and supported by the Cultural Division of the Chinese Embassy in Japan, the Chinese Cultural Center in Tokyo, and the International Confucian Association.

9GAG & Moonit Join Forces to Launch Meme Money Markets, Turning Viral Memes into Tradeable Tokens in Real-Time

NEW YORK, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The memecoin economy just went fully autonomous. 9GAG (a MemeStrategy-affiliated company), the internet’s most influential meme factory with over 200 million users, has joined forces with Moonit to ignite the first AI-powered system that instantly converts viral memes into tradable crypto assets on Solana without human intervention.

Forget waiting for developers, insiders or hype cycles. With Moonit’s breakthrough Meme Money Market protocol, every viral post on 9GAG can be tokenized at the speed of the scroll, minting cultural energy into on-chain assets in real-time – zero friction, zero favoritism, zero manipulation.

“Meme Money Markets rewrite the rules by removing middlemen aka “the dev”  entirely,” said Stijn Paumen, CEO of Helio. “It doesn’t wait for permission or spin. It captures raw virality and injects it directly into the on-chain bloodstream. It’s the purest, most trustless expression of attention-as-value ever deployed.”

Meme First. Token Next. No Dev.

Every Meme Money Market token follows a trader-optimized blueprint designed for fairness, liquidity, and full transparency. No founders, no pre-sales, no backroom allocations. Just memes, minted at the moment of impact.

“This isn’t just a new monetization model – it’s a new cultural physics,” said Ray Chan, founder of 9GAG. “Memes are no longer passive content, they’re autonomous assets with real-world value, owned by the communities that made them go viral.”

Culture Is the New Crypto

Born originally from DEX Screener’s Moonshot and reborn now as a collaboration between Helio, MoonPay, DEX Screener, 9GAG, Memeland, and MemeStrategy. Moonit is now the definitive infrastructure for real-time culture-to-crypto conversion. To date, it has powered over 300,000 token launches and onboarded 700,000+ users.

Built for the masses, Moonit makes crypto invisible: wallets are generated by email, and tokens can be purchased via card, PayPal, Venmo, or MoonPay Balance – no wallet setup or prior crypto knowledge needed.

Meme Money Market is already live at moon.it and accessible via 9GAG.com. Tokens are immediately tradable across bots and apps like Axiom, Photon, and Jupiter, and an Auto-Launch SDK is now available to any platform looking to tokenize cultural moments at scale.
