PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier as reviewed by Robert Levi – Positive Feedback July/August 2013

Geplaatst op 11/07/2013 door hermanvandendungen

Robert Levi has posted a fantastic review of PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier at Positive Feedback.

His conclusion:

“The PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier are absolutely brilliant, breakthrough designs with a level of musical realism only imagined at this price point even a few years ago. With the flexibility and performance of separates now at the price of a good integrated, the ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier will take you close to the recorded event, satisfy the most jaded audiophile on a budget, and give you the flexibility to connect a larger system in the future. At half the cost of my speakers, and less than the cost of one meter of my top reference interconnect for both pieces, how can you go wrong?

Do not look at this fully featured, remote controlled, powerful gear as merely a terrific budget choice. If you love fine music in your home, the PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier are fantastic performers at even double and triple their price! If you can power your speakers with up to 60-70 watts per channel and you do not require balanced operation, then the choice is really easy. The PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier and Stereo Amplifier are most highly and personally recommended”.

Ken Kessler reviews the Sonus faber Guarneri evolution loudspeakers

Geplaatst op 10/07/2013 door hermanvandendungen

hifinewslogoKen Kessler has posted a review of Sonus faber Guarneri Evolution loudspeakers at Hi-Fi News and Records Review.

His conclusions:

“Detroit used to describe its new cars as ‘Longer! Lower! Wider!’ Here it’s ‘Deeper! Shorter! Narrower!’ And add to that ‘better’ if you value deeper bass and a larger soundstage. Evolution moves on from Homage as Barolos have changed: modern versions have more kick, less delicacy. So, if you loved the original for its grace, keep it. But if you need that extra 2% more alcohol, drink deeply of the Evolution.”

Hifistatement: Mystère ca11 and pa11 review by Jurgen Samle – July 2013

Geplaatst op 09/07/2013 door hermanvandendungen

A new review about the Mystère ca11 and pa11 on www.hifistatement.net

“Preisfrage, welches Geheimnis verbirgt sich hinter Mystère? Ein französisches Jagdflugzeug aus den 50ern? Eine Show in Las Vegas? Ein französischer Kriminalkommissar? Alles falsch! Bei Mystère handelt es sich um eine neue Verstärkerlinie des holländischen Vertriebs Durob Audio.”

Summer is here …. Music is here …. Beer is here …. at least the bottle!

Geplaatst op 08/07/2013 door hermanvandendungen

If I look at my Samsung weather report it says for Sète 30 degrees Celcius! Hong Kong, where we are NOT going, but which we always follow for the weather 31 degrees Celcius – during the night! ‘s-Hertogenbosch around 20 degrees Celcius, but going up tomorrow direction 25 degrees Celcius. So … you might say “Summer is here”. Time for a cool bottle of beer. Time for 100 Exciting Summer Hits. Time for music. Time for a cool bottle of beer. Have a look how “cool” Beck’s is dealing with “music from a bottle”.
