Halcro update

Maybe old news for some, but I just chanced upon this article that helped clear up some things about Halcro that I hadn’t known. I remember back in 02 and 03 how they were the big and new and exciting kid on the block and then they vanished and now I know why. I’ve never heard or had experience with her equipment, but their design was quite interesting and knowing the physics behind it, or at least the physicist makes it even more intriguing.

I had wondered the same! That's an interesting story. I have never heard them before but always wanted to. Thanks for posting.

My first hearing of their gear at CES.  An industry insider I knew told me that I must hear their gear.  He said that his encounter brought tears to his eyes because of the flood of memories it triggered; it reminded him of the first time he heard the Phase Linear 400 amp.  Yes, this was his way of saying it sounded so bad.  He was right.

I remember the Stereophile 2002 review of the Halcro dm58. It cost about half as much as this new version (€47,900). These Halcro amps certainly look 21st - or 22nd - Century!
