New review: Holbo Airbearing Turntable System on The Audiophile Man

By Alfred Kainz | 13 March, 2020 | Read more

Review for the Holbo Airbearing Turntable System keep rolling in. This is already the third review this year.

Paul Rigby, The Audiophile Man.com writes:
"...the Holbo’s sense of balance and neutrality means that the music speaks for itself. There’s no colour here, either. More than that, the Holbo sounds rather lovely with its upper frequency finesse and lower frequency character... The Holbo picks up information and delivers it to you ‘as is’. What more can you ask of a turntable?"

Valvet A4.Mk.II mono-blocks and soulshine tube pre-amp

We're glad to announce a First Take Review was just published on The Audiophile Weekend Warrior.

Marc of TAWW writes:
"...there’s a purity and density of tone, a freedom from electronic haze and grain, a fluidity of expression that’s subtle in absolute terms but significant in visceral ones. The Valvet A4 Mk.II is delightfully expressive, sweet and pure, with an honest and unforced way of capturing the warmth and beauty of a performance..."

New review: Holbo Airbearing Turntable System tested by HiFi-Advance

By Alfred Kainz | 09 February, 2020 | Read more

Another great review was just released today, featuring the Holbo Airbearing Turntable System.

Christiaan Punter of HiFi-Advance concluded:
"...it is so very neutral and even-handed and possessing of such incredible refinement and resolution that it is worth pairing with the best cartridges out there...there is no beating around the bush: the Holbo air bearing turntable offers a reference-level performance that will be hard to beat. The first contender that springs to mind is TechDAS and even this brand’s most affordable turntables are considerably more expensive than the Holbo, and they don’t come with a tonearm..."

Holbo Airbearing Turntable System - 10Audio's Perfect 10 Award

We are glad to announce a new review for the Holbo Airbearing Turntable System. We're especially happy that this turntable extraordinaire received its 3rd Award since June 2019.

After SixMoons Blue Moon and the Japanese Audio Excellence Award it now was awarded with 10Audio's "Perfect 10 Award".

Jerry Seigel of 10Audio.com writes:
"...the real strength of the Holbo Turntable System is the compelling feeling of continuity and flow in the very linear and complete harmonic content of every voice and musical note. It just sounds whole with extremely high resolution right down to silence, and leading-edge clarity that defines each note as a distinct entity. There is no bass, midrange, treble in the usual, analytical sense. The entire musical spectrum is one continuous, highly transparent river of performance, drawing the listener in..."

Synergistic Research MiG SX (Mecanical Interface Grounding)

New arrival: Nasotec VEM Spike and Spike Shoe footers

By Alfred Kainz | 30 January, 2020 | Read more

The unique and clever design of the very affordable Nasotec VEM Spike Shoe (left in the picture) and Spike/Shoe Combo (right in the picture) - the inlets sitting on ceramic balls - causes it to eliminate incoming vibrations immediately without any time delay.

The result of using the Nasotec VEM Spike Shoes and Spike/Shoe Combo is a darker background and a more 3-dimensional sound stage, without changing the tone color. Prices start with $170 for a set/3 Spike Shoes resp. $220 for a set/3 for Spike & Shoe Combo.
