The Art of Analogue
Audio Electronics by
Graham Slee Projects
Listening is a four dimensional experience.
The two
dimensional aspect being the tonal balance. Stereo or surround sound
makes listening three dimensional. The fourth dimension is the spirit,
emotion or soul which paints a picture in our mind. It is the fourth
dimension that is least understood, never covered by the textbook,
overtaken by progress and considered eccentric by many professionals.
The "wireless" generation will however instantly grasp what is meant.
The cheapest radio can conjure up a magical picture - how three or four
people and a sound effects man gathered round a microphone can place you
anywhere in the world or in a land of make-believe without leaving your
seat is the real magic of listening, leaving an impression in your mind
that will outlast any "earsplitandloudenboomen" exercise.
It is the fourth dimension of listening which Graham Slee Projects R&D
time is most spent on to bring you the ultimate musical experience.
We are often
asked, what is the most important part of an analogue playback system -
cartridge, tonearm, or turntable itself ? In our opinion, it is
the phono stage, where all signals have to pass through. Then the
turntable, followed by the tonearm-cartridge-phono stage combination.
The tonearm and cartridge must match each other, as well as the
cartridge and phono stage.
Of course, one must also know one's sonic and music preferences, as well
as the whole system composition, and budget too. Then we can
suggest a combination that will be suitable for our clients. It's
all a matter of understanding and matching the analogue components to
get the sound closest to expectations. It can be easy to screw up
an analogue system without taking all these factors into consideration.

from Graham Slee, this is an absolute bargain.
"The Era Gold V is
our "plain Jane baby" that confounds the "Pomp(ous) and (never mind the)
circumstance" brigade of the Hi-Fi industry. It's the one our dealers
stock by choice rather than being forced to under contract (in fact that
applies to our whole range). It's the one that'll always sound the best
to the straight guy or gal - it needs no sensory assistance (substances)
to be enjoyed (...that stuff makes anything lie)."
"As many an independent reviewer has
found, the Graham Slee range offers superb real sounding musicality to
all vinyl enthusiasts regardless of financial means.
The Era Gold REFLEX is the result of two years of tuning our
highly respected Era Gold V to the limits of currently available
technology."
The latest statement high-end phono stage combination
from Graham Slee. The Era Gold V + Elevator EXP has garnered
several accolades ... but wait until they hear the new Reflex + Elevator
EXP ... a truly elevated performance.
Graham Slee
Adjustable EQ Phono Stages (also called Phono Preamps) :
The 15
restoration EQ pre-sets on the Jazz Club vinyl and 78 RPM restoration
pre-amplifier make old, sound new!
But it's not only for
your old records, it's for your entire record collection. Enjoy master
tape quality of your favourites and rediscover the delights of those
records you'd committed to the bin!
The complete lack of flywheel effect or hysterisis of
transformers and correct cartridge matching, combine with the fast low
noise video bandwidth of the EXP to provide an award winning
performance.
The
Solo is truly monitor class. Based on
electronics normally only found in professional studio equipment - the
Solo has a linear response with a big speaker sound you don't usually
get with headphones.
