Geplaatst op 07/01/2015 door beheerder

ACCORDOEnjoy The Music has published there 20 favorites reviews/products of the past year! In March 2014 they published a great review of Matej Isak about the Franco Serblin Accordo loudspeaker!

His Conclusion: 

Franco Serblin Accordo Grey is a mastery of high-end audio loudspeaker design. Everything feels refined and matured to the point where you don’t look for the mistakes, but simply enjoy the musical happening. This should always be the ultimate challenge for any loudspeaker manufacturer, that claims his advancement or superiority. The artisans approach, that its expertly executed and noticeable on every step blends with all the musical material, but excel with live, acoustic music. In the times where we’re taking so much things for granted Accordo Grey represent a gift from the legendary loudspeaker designer.

This is an embodiment of his genius that is carried on by his son-in-law Massimiliano. As I wrote before, there couldn’t be a better person to keep the legacy of Franco Serblin alive. Everything with the Accordo Grey two-way monitor loudspeakers feels premium. From the packaging to manuals and the loudspeakers themselves, you’ll be catered with refined execution of every little detail. And it goes the same with the music that Accordo Grey loudspeakers produce. All the little nuances are being posted in such grand way that you never question the Accordo Grey size, but embrace its emotional side. Like state-of-the-art mechanical watches carry on the time with its own authoritative pace, so do Accordo Grey loudspeakers with their lyrically portraits of the musical events. Boldly, and with the character, that resonates with the music. This is the finest aural art for musical reproduction… and a product for true connoisseurs. Highly recommended.

The Ear magazine: Product of the Year 2014: The PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Power Amplifier

Geplaatst op 06/01/2015 door beheerder

PrimaLuna-DiaLogue-Premium-HP-14We are happy and proud to annouce that our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Power amplifier is awarded as ”Product of the Year 2014” by The Ear magazine. Rene van Es has written a great review about the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Poweramplifier.

 

His conclusion:

PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP

The PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium H(igh) P(ower) power amplifier can be used in stereo or as a mono block, and with a range of tubes starting with the EL34 and moving up to the KT-150. I preferred it with KT-120 tubes which gave 175 Watts for each channel in mono configuration. That’s more than enough power to drive a demanding pair of PMC fact.12 loudspeakers to realistic levels. These amps are as reliable as any decent transistor type, and should a tube fail it will warn you which one is defective. Replace it and you are back in business without any harm done to the speakers. The sound of the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP is not the warm sound often found with tube amps, neither is it the over detailed class D sound. It is fluid, natural, powerful, detailed and you can tune the sound using different tube brands and types. After extended use I was loathe to let them go back to the manufacturer, I rather enjoyed the limitless dynamics and power reserves they offered. Build quality has proven to be excellent with PrimaLuna, which means you will enjoy them for many years and still they won’t break the bank.

Enjoy The Music: The Best Gear of 2014: The PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier

Geplaatst op 05/01/2015 door beheerder

Best_Gear_Of_2014_smEnjoy The Music has published their 20 favorites reviews/products of the past year! In October 2014 Dick Olsher has written a great review about the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier.

 

His conclusion:

” The Dialogue Premium line preamp strikes me as one of the best things PrimaLuna has ever done. In particular, purity of expression and tonal realism are two of its strongest sonic assets. The incremental improvements to the Dialogue Three have borne fruit. The Premium version is now able to swim with and compete effectively against high-end’s cost-no-object heavyweights. And that, my fellow audiophiles, is a rarity. If you’re looking for a basic line preamp that is sanely priced and offers genuine tube magic, this is it! An enthusiastic two thumbs up recommendation! ”

Exceptional Value award 2014 for The Kiseki Blue N.S. and Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S. Review by Jeff Dorgay of ToneAudio

Geplaatst op 30/12/2014 door beheerder

Kiseki BoxesIn issue No. 67  ” The Tone Favorites Issue” ToneAudio has published a raving review about the Kiseki Blue N.S. and Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S.

The review contains three pages about these little miracles! Jeff Dorgay of ToneAudio magazine was overwhelmed by the performance of the Kiseki Blue N.S. and PurpleHeart N.S.  He has given the Kiseki Blue N.S. and the Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S. an ”Exceptional Value Award 2014”

Some quotes are:

”People are fond of the saying “history repeats itself.” 

“The second I drop the stylus on the recent MoFi remaster of Tears for Fears’ Sowing the Seeds of Love, I know that the Kiseki cartridges have beaten Koetsu at their own game once again, and analog history is repeating itself. ”

”Considering what these cartridges offer, we are very happy to award them one of our Exceptional Value Awards for 2014. Now that’s a miracle we can all be excited about. ”

”If you’ve always wanted that special kind of sound that a Koetsu offers, the Kiseki is still a better choice for a more reasonable price.”

Jeff Dorgay: ”I know I want one.” 

We thank Jeff Dorgay and ToneAudio magazine for this great review and the exceptional Value awards! The Kiseki Blue N.S. and Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S. are WORLDWIDE available from local distributors or from Durob Audio direct.
