Listening Session: The Bespoke Audio Company, UK

2015_07_19-Bespoke-Audio-Company-logo-round


Lucy and Harry, from the Bespoke Audio Company, paid us a visit at Blumenhofer: after a 5 years old appointment that has been postponed and renewed several times, finally we managed to meet. For this, we have to thank the perseverance of Harry, more than anything else.
We had chance to listen to their pearl. A passive preamplifier.

From the start the sound was convincing, dynamic, fast, clear, with the right presence on the whole frequency spectrum. It bears the musicality we aim to and we pursue in each of our developments. We tried it with several power amps and it matched them correctly.
Convincing. It is a product we will think about.
Then we have learnt that Lucy is personally winding the transformers, we then have learnt how far it is possible to tailor it to the needs of the customers and that it can be made to match the look of our loudspeakers. Lots of nice surprises and add ons for the demanding and knowledgable customer.
In the end, they opened up the little box for us: wow, very nice design, very nice construction, very simple but efficient cabling inside. Flabbergasting!! Not only for the sound but for the overall workmanship and attention to the single detail.

Lucy and Harry invest a huge amount of work and knowledge in their product. Entirely made in UK! I think that our two companies share a lot of understanding for music: looking forward for working together!!

Of course we had some fun during the day, if You are curious, You can have a look at our gallery, here.

Listening Session: Emiral Audio, Germany

2014_07_08-Emiral-Audio


We had an amazing listening session with Emiral Audio, a small company from the north of Germany.
While listening we had longer discussion on market chance and cooperation in several areas of the world: expect some surprises!!
It is really well promising.

We tested their 845 based single ended power amplifier with our Genuin FS 1 MK 2 and on the Fun 17. First with the stock tubes and then with some special 845 we had in our showroom and we had great satisfaction in what we have heard.
In the next future we will get to try their phono preamplifier for a critic listening.
Thank You Ralf and Emil for Your visit, see You soon.
If You are curious, here to some pictures.

Listening session: Sonore AC, Netherlands



Incredible the content of these wooden boxes. I've never heard these kind of power amplifier playing this way. Cock and Arnold from Sonore AC explained us the concept and the ideas behind them and it was really astonishing to understand the deepness of the know how involved and the technical solution adopted to pursue the philosophy behind them trough and trough.
It is always good to learn something.

Blumenhofer Acoustics is now member of the Analog Audio Association

Today Blumenhofer Acoustics joined the Analog Audio Association. The AAA, is committed to pure analog audio reproduction: from the LP to the loudspeaker our listening bases on analog... why to use the bits and bytes is the question of the AAA. We share with them the love for the analog music reproduction and LPs.

following a short text from the AAA-webpage about their way of thinking: Die Schallplatte lebt! Während die Verkaufszahlen digitaler Tonträger schwächeln, feiert die Langspielplatte heimlich ihr Comeback. Immer mehr Menschen, die mit der CD groß geworden sind, entdecken für sich die Magie der schwarzen Scheiben und die bunte Welt der großformatigen Plattencover. Viele DJs in den Clubs und Discotheken schwören aus rein praktischen Gründen auf die bewährte Schallplatte. Inzwischen hat der LP-Verkauf wieder die Millionengrenze geknackt. Aus gutem Grund: Trotz aller Fortschritte der Digitaltechnik, trotz neuer Daten- und Tonträgerformate ist die Schallplatte klanglich das Maß aller Dinge. Heißt es doch in Bezug auf DVD und SACD: "Nie war digital so analog wie heute!"

Listening session and Visit at STS-Digital

What a music, what a sound, what a perfect reproduction...
...I have spent some really beautiful and enjoyable hours at the remastering studios of STS-Digital in Amersfoort in the Netherlands.

The system was composed by the top of the Marantz SACD and Power Amplifier production connected with the top of the van den Hul and Siltech cables. Of course the speakers were ours, the Genuin FS 1.

Some days after Fritz sent me an e-mail, here I quote one of the sentences, I must admitt this filled me with joy:
 
It is difficult to describe my feeling of pure emotion. When I listen to your exceptional audio product, there is only one thing that came up; this is the genuin thing.

Fritz gave me a short lesson on some interesting points concerning music and audio editing, wow, now I can understand something more about music and the way it can be enhanced to give more emotions and feeling.
