    Which amplifier will you keep for life????

    any Gryphon Audio is a keeper to me...... since the early 90ies there was no time without either a XT100 Pre & DM100 Stereo, or Antileon or Antileon Evo, all kind of Diablos of course, a Pandora Pre is always a fantastic choice and maybe the upcoming Diablo 333 will be a keeper for some here as...

    Buying a Hana ML from Dewald - Service Excellence

    I think the biggest problem for us "commercials" (sounds silly btw) is to get the word out there..... to find awareness for us and the products we sell. There is no local magazine or such available... So I dont mind to seeing my contact details shared with others....

    Buying a Hana ML from Dewald - Service Excellence

    ...and not to forget Dewald is a truly expert in "this field" and Hana can be purchased (and installed) through Dewald as one of only 3 authorized Hana Premium Partners in the country. I believe in rather less really good partners than more outlets who are moving boxes over the counter...

    Buying a Hana ML from Dewald - Service Excellence

    Its wonderful to see that slowly but surely Hana finds its way in SA. Since a couple of years the Audio World is raving about the quality of Hana Cartridges - but took long to be seen as what they are: Sensations in each price range.... Their M Series and Umami Blue & Red became bestselling...

    Saturday Night In San Francisco

    .....I love the "red" Shakti Album (there is a red and a white). Mahavishnu worked in the early 80ies for me.....but actually I cant listen to it anymore.

    The perfect Room....

    ......the best room is always the room you have - may this be a Hotel Room as we recently had at the HiFi Expo, the living room you live in or in my actual case and project "my garage" which I turn into a musicroom. The ideal room will remain a dream for most but to make the very best of any...

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    ....@udwadia..... fab yes - I only can agree :cool: Those Borresen X3 can easily keep up with speakers 3 or 4 times the price and I drove them with this little All in One Axxess Forte2 ! The build quality as well - easy to compare with speakers x times the price. This is a combination I would...

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    ......I m very glad that Hendrik nailed the point! This man has NO problem except a kind of luxury problem for most - that he wants and can afford new speakers. Why he should debate about and around Valves or any other electronic when he more or less just entered the full Gryphon world (with...

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    Eckis Set Up already beats most of what I ve heard in shops or private homes in this country - and those KEFs in his room - driven by some of the finest components available - arent easy to beat.There is already a wonderful synergy. It has to be a significant improvement and to be honest.... in...

    Cape Town Audio Expo 15-17 September

    .....Brutal? No guys .... This was a fantastic first Audio Show (almost a miniature of how it was in the old days when the High End Show was in the Kempinski in Frankfurt). You couldnt done better for the first time - I can say I m very impressed, grateful and enthusiastic. I loved it - even I...

    Cape Town Audio Expo 15-17 September

    I just got home from another very long day at the SOUTHERN SUN HOTEL in Newlands....tired, my back sore- but happy because I think THIS here might be the right first step into a kind of national SA Audio Show. More or less all relevant players are here. A direct Shoot Out, a get together...

    News from Thirteen Audio & Art! Audio Group Denmark

    .....oh they nailed it.... I had the pleasure to hear them at the munich show (again)..... with the new Diablo 333 (which we only ll get early 2024). I think in driver technology the danes are leading by far and they know since decades to create fantastic sounding speakers. It makes me very...

    News from Thirteen Audio & Art! Audio Group Denmark

    ....I agree on the Aavik Uniti models which in each series (180/280/580) have a very sophisticated build in DAC. Personally I believe the best Value for money is in the 280ies Series.... the 180 Series is an absolute surprise for those who never ever heard an Aavik - it blows you over at a price...

    News from Thirteen Audio & Art! Audio Group Denmark

    ...on my Munich High End Report here, I havent mentioned "my personal sensation of the show" - on purpose - the many new products of Axxess, Ansuz, Aarvik and Borresen - in short the Portfolio of the famous Audio Group Denmark! Its not easy NOT to find "only another loudspeaker company" among...

    .......rega belts arent original...... otherwise it seems to be a serious online store - but "landed in SA" the prices might not be that excellent anymore. I think my retail prices for Hana in SA are truly excellent...... just now the cheapest in the world - because I havent increased the...

    Very interesting Michael Fremer video

    ...and to me the real fun starts when someone looks and listen to a Well Tempered Lab TT..best in combination with their LTD tonearms - except that they spin a record at 33 1/3 ..nothing is as we have learned about TTs. Yes those are the ones who are using Golf-balls as "bearings" for their arms...

    Very interesting Michael Fremer video

    @LIVESOUND..... yes...thats absolutely correct but which newer high end turntable manufacturers dealing with old & known problems better than those who are in the game for ...lets say 50 years (like rega celebrates their 50 anniversary) ..or Helmut Brinkmann who was "the maker" of the legendary...
