We were really surprised by the dimension of this show.
It was the first show after 2 or 3 years of pause in the Czech Republic and they started anew with a bang! There were all the big names of HiFi, there were really plenty of rooms full with all the strange stuff You find at an HiFi show and there were several rooms playing good music!

Our system was composed by:
- Accustic Arts Integrated amplifier
- Accustic Arts CD Player
- Dr. Feickert Turntable
- Cammino Power Harmonizer
- Chisto cables
- of course our Genuin FS 2

The enthusiasm of the public was involving. The music was playing. We had a Genuin Fun!
The most amazing thing: there we met by surprise some good friends, Lorenzo from MastersounD

2015 starts well: Angelo Jasparro of Audio-Activity published a nice review of our Genuin FS 2. Both in Italian and in English at the same time, as proof of great Professionalism.
In the interesting browsing trough music Angelo says about the Genuin:

- The Nutcracker by Tchaikovski, Kirov Orchestra, directed by Valery Gergiev (Philips) […] The violent finale of the “Intrada” of the “Pas de Deux” is reproduced with ease by the Blumenhofers. This is something that does not happen with the majority of the hi-fi components that we have in our houses!

- These loudspeakers, despite the horns, are able to disappear and let the scene to music.

- […] this is a device produced with care by someone that is not just an assembler […]

The Audio Traveler wrote some comments on some of the rooms of the Athens HiFi Show.
Our room was one of the chosen ones. Here You can read his opinion.
PANAGIOTIS KARAVITIS appreciated the qualities of the system:

I heard Ella Fitzgerald singing “Black Coffee” with a vibrant and clear voice like few other times.
The 12” woofer provided all the bass one would want for a moderate room.

After some years of absence the Athens Audio and Video show is back on stage.
The show was good, lot of dealers, good quality visitors on the Saturday.
On Sunday there were new people coming, people who were new to the HiFi world: good chances to start up again.

The Genuin FS 2 was playing with Leben, Kondo and DPS Turntable.

We were there, and we had fun!!
We changed everything and in the end everything was even better than last year. What shall I write, the best sign of success is seeing people staying in the room long time and... something I take with me? A customer brought a CD of the Toccata and Fugue of Bach, the classic organ piece. This time I plaid loud and in the end I had such a fantastic feeling of satisfaction and completeness that I only seldom remember. That was music!

The power amplification: Octave V70SE with integrated in the Power Amplifier
Analog source: Dr. Feickert Woodpecker with Tonearm from Jelco and Lyra Delos Cartridge
Digital source: CD Transport from Audio Tonale with DAC from Hegel

Of course the whole cabling from Cammino including the power harmonizer.

These are the Words of Mark van Braam of Audio 21:

"The 12th October, Audio21 in Wapenveld NL held their vinyl-party. In three listening rooms, three sets, the first Gran Gioia with the new preamp of Sonore AC, in the second the FS2 ‘patchwork’ which is probably the most special pair of the world, also with the amps of Sonore AC. The third listening room was filled with the fun13, amp of Pathos Acoustics. And of course vinyl was always the source; Pluto and Dr. Feickert were ‘singing’. Outside in a tent, the local vinyl store showed their new stock. About 150 people came to this charming event, in the most charming hifi-shop of the Netherlands. Next year, the first weekend of may, the second edition of the ‘Vinylfuif’. The word ‘fuif’ is difficult to translate… an other word for ‘party’ which was used in the 80’s."
