"...the Kronzilla SX stereo amp ($23,000) was spotted doing its thing in the Brodmann Acoustics room. Any close encounter with KR Audio’s Kronzilla is worth writing home about, that KR 1610 power triode “on steroids” being quite a sight. The other manufacturer introduced noteworthy SET amplifiers: The Voxativ 845 monoblock amplifier ($17,500) is a flagship product rated at 18 watts into 4, 8, and 16-ohm loads..."

The Absolute Sound Oct.2015, Robert E. Greene wrote (THE Show Newport 2015): "While I was working on speakers at moderate prices ($20k), or what passes for moderate today, I looked into a few of the pricier items just out of interest. I was struck by the piano sound from the Langerton Configuration 217. This speaker allows adjustment of the positional relationship between the mid/bass driver and the tweeter to get phase/time exactly right for a given listening position. Whatever for this reason or not, this speaker sounded remarkably like a real piano: at a price of - around $31k for a pair..."
Mr. Greene obviously got the price wrong - $15,450 is not for one speaker only, but for the pair C217!! CLICK HERE for more info.
We're glad to announce another award for the ViV Lab Rigid Float tonearm - the 5 Star Award of The Ear magazine.
Jason Kennedy concluded:
"...the Rigid Float is a rather unconventional arm and one that ignores traditional approaches to cartridge alignment, but like another idiosyncratic design, the Well Tempered, it produces superb results. It’s one of those analogue audio products that makes you realise that the conventions followed by the majority are not necessarily the only options. There is clearly room for thinking outside the box and the Viv Labs engineers are to be applauded for their inventiveness..."

Shun Mook's experience with ebony material led to the development of a phono cartridge whose body and internal parts were all made from a specially treated black ebony. In order to make the tiny parts, no cost is spared to obtain micro machines to fabricate the Shun Mook parts.
Shun Mook works closely with ZYX Corp of Japan and use their best R-1000 engine as the cord of the cartridge. Each unit is then painstakingly tuned by actual listening in Shun Mook's preference Hi Fi system. This process usually takes about 20 hours. For analog fanatics this is a cartridge to behold. The production is limited, so call us and reserve yours now. CLICK HERE to check it out.
