Herman van den Dungen’s connections with Japan Part 9

碧青碧 PurpleHeart ホウ素、PurpleHeart サファイア、黒心可鍛鋳鉄のホウ素、Agaat ほう素、Agaat ルビー後、ラピスラズリ ダイヤモンドが設計されていた。・近藤さん銀有線 MC トランス、OFC MC トランス、トーン アームを再配線用の純粋な銀のケーブルを私に提供します。後で私は私の友人とも日本で作られた碧ゴールド トーン アーム設計。そして今 2014年再び奇跡カートリッジ。奇跡じゃないですか?継続するのには。

After the Kiseki Blue, the Kiseki PurpleHeart Boron, PurpleHeart Sapphire, BlackHeart Boron, Agaat Boron, Agaat Ruby, Lapis Lazuli Diamond were designed. And Mr. Kondo supplied me with Silver wired MC transformers, OFC MC transformers and pure silver cables for rewiring tone-arms. Later on I designed with my friends the Kiseki Gold tone arm which was also made in Japan. And now 2014 we are again making Kiseki cartridges. Isn’t that a MIRACLE? To be continued.

Herman van den Dungen’s connections with Japan Part 8

kiseki_blue NOS次のことは、かつてのキッド、光悦黒と競合できた新しいカートリッジ、奇跡ブルー、あったことを市場に納得させることだった。私は市場を納得させる唯一の方法は私の元のクライアント、光悦の販売代理店を説得することに気づいた。だから、最初のバッチを作製し、その間に承認されたサンプルは、例えば、非常に有名なトーンアームを作る際に彼の技術光悦の代理店の一つ、最も彼のアナログ専門のために知られていたものにし、ために送り出された。非常にすぐに私は生産に音質を維持できれば、正規の方法で同じ光悦ブラックなどの価格と供給でそれを提供できるというメッセージを得た後、順番は100個のためにすぐに配置されることになる。まあ、私は私ができる、さらには光悦ブラックよりも低い価格で確認された。彼の意見は他のクライアントや市場のために重要であり、奇跡は、高品質のフォノカートリッジとして受け入れられた。私の古い光悦の販売代理店のいくつかは、また…彼らはそれがあまりにも混乱したと思った、いくつかは、彼らがつもり、それを配布し、言ったように、一部はしなかった、奇跡を配布し始めたが、何年も自分たちの国の外に保つ。 L.しかし、とにかく、私は天にあり、約150〜200を販売することは、月の代わりに30を継続するカートリッジでした。

The next thing was to convince the market that there was a new cartridge, the Kiseki Blue, which could compete with the former Kid, the Koetsu Black. I realized that the only way to convince the market was to convince my former clients, the Koetsu distributors. So a first batch was made and in the meantime the approved sample was sent out to one of the Koetsu distributors, the one who was most known for his analog specialism and for his skills in for example making a very famous tone-arm. Very soon after I got a message that if I could keep up the sound quality in production, could offer it at the same price as the Koetsu Black and supply in a regular way, an order would be placed immediately for 100 pieces. Well, I confirmed I could, and even at a lower price than the Koetsu Black. His opinion was important for the other clients and the market and Kiseki was accepted as a high quality phono cartridge. Some of my old Koetsu distributors, also started to distribute Kiseki, some did not as they thought it was too confusing and some said they were gonna distribute it, but kept it out of their country for years …. 🙂 But anyway, I was in heaven and was selling about 150-200 cartridges a month instead of 30. To be continued.

PurpleHeart N.O.S. Review Hong Kong

Kiseki Purpleheart N.O.S.

What is a Kiseki N.O.S. cartridge?

N.O.S. is known to be standing for New Old Stock, like with tubes. Suddenly after 40 years someone finds in a cellar or attic a carton full of never used Siemens E288CC tubes or other beauties. These are N.O.S. tubes. In our case we gave a different meaning to N.O.S. It stands for New Old Style.

A Kiseki New Old Style cartridge is a cartridge made during 2010-2014 out of a mix from old Kiseki parts from between 1981-1990 and parts currently available.

The choice of parts is easy: if parts are available from the past and no better parts are available now, the choice is “past”. If parts are available from the past, but better parts are available now, the choice is “now”. With the mix of these parts we make the maximum number of cartridges.

So for the Kiseki Blue N.O.S. we could make between 100 and 105 cartridges, which resulted after prototyping in 100 cartridges for sale (minus 1 for Herman van den Dungen, thus it means 99 pieces). The second N.O.S.  model, which was on review in Hong Kong, only 49 pieces were made. We are offering these as long as we have stock. Once the N.O.S. versions are gone, these will be gone for ever.

If you want to (and are able to) read Chinese, please download the full article here for a review on the brand new Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S. by Robert Levi go here.

The Krell KPS25Sc: The dream player of many audiophiles!

KRELL KPS25Sc

KRELL KPS25Sc

Krell KPS25Sc, the dream player of many audiophiles. While the owner of this unit is living abroad (China) and he has no possibilities to import this machine, he sadly offers it FOR SALE. For the same reason the machine has been used here (in The Netherlands) very little and is actually in “new” condition. While being one of the most caring audiophiles we know, he even bought himself a spare laser in case of a future need for it. This spare laser comes with the player. Send us your best offer for this “dream machine”. Shipping to Hong Kong or any other country can be arranged. Official setting for any voltage possible.

You can download here the KPS25Sc brochure.
