High End Reproduction is back

unfortunately... for a price. But Brain counts...

Today I had a revelation at Munich High End Show at Acoustical Systems Demo Room.
Pure sound, a Soundstage with any record I never heard from any modern table, no matter what price or Hype, no coloration, no sonic fingerprint
but it was the whole System which delivered the result
Speaker from a new Manufacturer, Soundspace Systems, Model Aidoni, 101dB
Phonostage Evocator from AS
Axiom Arm & Palladian Cartridge from AS
Turntable Apolyt from AS
Pre- and Power Ams from Vitus Audio
Cables from Audioquest (Wild)

Good Work & Thank you for giving a bright light in the dark "High End Cave"

the test with the Sutherline Timeline
sorry

Correct is: Sutherland Timeline



Something different

One of the very best Sound at Show with digital Playback was
from a Vitus Audio combination driving small (more or less, but room & WAF friendly) Marten Speakers (from Sweden I think).
A top match, even for longer listening sessions :-)

Magico
As painful as usual
Living Voice
nice female voice with Engstrom electronics, never heard a demo with more than one singer and a guitar or piano. One million bucks don’t need more

Dear Syntax, Who is ''he'' by this 1000 euro MM cartridge and

this remarkable ''aluminum Micro Seiki 5000''? Other reference

to the TT and MM cart would be also appreciated.

"he" is Mr. Brakemeier from Acoustical Systems.

Other reference?
you think about reviews, other owners or similar?
Well, this here is a report from High End 2018, every manufacturer there shows his latest product(s).
I have no idea about something else, was just a visitor

Dear Syntax, you should know that I don't need introduction to

Mr. Brakemeier. But, if I understand your contribution well,

the MM and TT in question are imported in Germany while our

friend Daniel lives in Bavaria. So those are not produced by

our friend. As far as I know he produced 4 MC carts but not

any MM cart.

Dear Lew, I certainly understand your interest in speakers.

To understand this amazement about Ribbon speakers in

combination with ''ordinary'' kind one need to investigate

the work of Prof. Jurgen Scheuring designer of Ascendo

series of speakers with his Ascendo M-S as the top of

this series. There was a review in Absolut sound but I can't

remember when. Anyway it was an ravishing review. As far as

I remember the ''unusual'' construction consisted of ''band pass''

woofer ( Eton 11'' driver) 8'' Danish mid-driver and long ribbon.

The ribbon was time-aligned with an metal construction allowing

fort and back movement of the ribbon. One was assumed to

measure the distance to the sit position and adjust the ribbon

accordingly. Alas the price was such that I could not afford it.

The obvious difference with Syntax sample is that the later

ribbon can't be moved fort and back. I am sure you will be

very interested in Prof. Scheuring arguments and cross-over.

More to discover
