New review: Langerton Configuration Holograf Monitor Speakers...

 

The very first review in the US for Langerton from Germany, and a very favorable one, just went online on The StereoTimes. It's about Langerton's entry line - Configuration Holograf monitor speakers.

Greg Voth, StereoTimes (April 2015):
"...the Langerton Configuration Holograf is a great speaker worthy of audition by anyone with a moderate space looking for a smaller profile speaker… or just those mildly curious. They played very well in our good-sized loft with a 13 foot ceiling - that’s not an easy feat. My wife agrees that the Holograf is perhaps the one speaker she would select to replace the ET’s for a smaller speaker in our loft… even at the $6k price point. When you give the phase-corrected Configuration Holografs some personal time, you’ll appreciate each persons’ involvement in bringing these small miracles to market. Highly recommended..."

NEW ARRIVAL: Latest evolution of Knut Cornils' soulshine - VALVET soulshine "Pure"

VALVET soulshine pure

Similar to the original soulshine with 5 line inputs and now 3 outputs (massive silver connectors) using ECC82 and ECC99 tubes with only one Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil capacitor per channel. The signal path is even shorter now and a brand new volume control is incorporated. A 48-step ladder switch with remote control as a standard - absolutely State-Of-The-Art!  We think the soulshine "Pure" is VALVET's best sounding pre-amp yet! Congratulations to Germany - well done Knut!

Scansonic MB-1Glad to announce that we're now authorized Scansonic dealer. Scansonic speakers from Denmark are designed by the maker of the renowned Raidho speakers, Michael Børresen. Scansonic speakers represent an extremely high price/performance value.

The first review for the entry model, the MB-1 is already in. Sven Bilen concluded: "...have I heard better speakers than Scansonic MB-1 for this price? No. Do I want a pair of MB-1? Yes. This is really something you need to consider if you are looking for some really good stand speakers where the price is not sky-high. Here, you get a sound picture you will immediately like, and it all just feels sooo right. A big applause for MB-1!"

New review: Wall Audio Opus 88 tube pre-amp with phono-stage...

Wall Audio Opus 88 tube pre-amp with phono-stage

Wall Audio's Opus 88  tube pre-amp w/phono-stage was reviewed in the latest issue of the German high-end magazine Image HiFi.

Imre Ibrahim concluded: "...I don’t know of any other pre-amp in the price range under $6000 that has been produced with such high quality work, parts and careful attention to detail. The resulting sound proves that the designer is right. If you’re searching for an honest, affordable pre-amp, don’t have a huge fleet of components in your system, call vinyl your own and - if you value the sound of dynamics and neutrality,  but still don’t want to give up a touch of tubes, then you should definitely put the Wall Audio Opus 88 on the shortlist of your candidates. If you don’t, you’re making a mistake..."
