The bar on analogue
playback has been raised even higher ... the REFLEX and REVELATION
phono stage will soon be launched in our shores ... modern offerings that also
celebrate the vinyl renaissance. Vinyl, still the unanimous choice format
of industry experts and top hifi system owners, sonically speaking.
"Mastering the art of
high resolution for harmonically rich music. "Invisible" character-free sound.
Really wide bandwidth dedicated RIAA designs, the REFLEX
and
REVELATION
takes you a step further into the illusion of reality.
The design brief: To let the musicians and vocalists communicate their message
in the context they intended - that means the electronics must never colour the
tiniest of detail, or else ambiguity could creep in."
Designed by
electronics and broadcast engineer
Graham Slee ... Based on the
multi-awarded
Era Gold MKV technology, of
which over 2000 units have been sold within a very short span of time.
The
Era Gold MKV + Elevator
EXP will
still be in production, being sonically outstanding
units. The REFLEX
and
REVELATION
are new higher models. Retail pricing of the new models to follow soon.
Not to worry, in
Graham Slee's own words, "Our
prices are simply based on honest trading principles.
We are here for the music !"
And for those on a budget, we will also soon have the new one-box
Gram Amp 3 Fanfare
dedicated
MC-only
phono stage, as small as the
Gram Amp 2 SE
MM-only phono stage.
"The Fanfare for the common man ! After all, it's not
everybody who can afford very high-end audio. With so many good affordable
moving coil cartridges available, there should be an excellent phono stage to
partner them. As ever, we've optimised the design so you don't have to
struggle blindly with confusing settings - another one that does exactly what it
promises."

Some folks
ask us 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 to get it closest to expectations.
It can be easy to screw up an analogue system without taking all these
factors into consideration. |
