New product arrival: Ichos No. THREE loudspeakers

By Alfred Kainz | 07 December, 2017 | Read more

A new pair of Ichos No. THREE Mk.II speakers in blue are ready, set up in our showroom and making music, driven by the new A4e mono-blocks of Valvet.

First impression: Sounding much bigger than they actually are. Great sound, very open, fast and dynamic with great transients, nice and tight bass (more than you'd think coming from this size of speakers). Overall very musical, listening to music of all genres with them is a lot of fun!

The price of $11,990 is a steal for what you get in sound quality and craftmanship. Have a listen yourself, call for an appointment.

New arrival: ICHOS loudspeakers from Austria arrived

By Alfred Kainz | 30 November, 2017 | Read more

We are very glad to announce that the first ICHOS speakers arrived in the USA. Ichos loudspeakers are handmade from top to bottom in the city of music - Vienna, Austria.

Ichos' design follows a very minimalistic approach with wideband drivers in back-loaded horns, augmented by tweeters. The absence of a crossover makes Ichos speakers very detailed with explosive dynamics. All construction elements are produced with closest tolerances according to the designer Robert Rothleitner's specifications. The entire range of loudspeakers is a genuine Austrian hand-made, labor-intensive product.

Model N° ONE and N° THREE are singing in our listening room and are ready for an audition. Call for an appointment.

New product arrival: Gregitek CL1 LP Clamp - improve the sound of your analog setup

By Alfred Kainz | 21 November, 2017 | Read more

NEW - Just arrived from Italy.
Gregitek's new CL1 LP is an LP Clamp/Weight designed to dissipate vibrations.

The middle part of the CL1 LP is a dynamic damper (dynamic energy dissipator), similar to Gregitek’s Stab1 platform and Stabtower component rack. It sits on a spring and can wobble freely up and down and counteracts vibrations entering the LP Clamp. By turning the upper part left or right, the dynamic damper tightens or loosens which allows you to fine tune the sound. The US retail price is $395.
