Impressions of the Hongkong hifi show by a Sixmoons.com correspondent have been posted.  At the Hongkong show (held on the same dates as the Singapore hifi show), a similar setup to ours was also on demo, although on a much larger scale, with designer Kevin Scott of Living Voice and Kondo Audio Note Japan representatives in attendance.  We will provide more information on the new Kondo Audio Note Japan turntable and cartridge as soon as possible.

Incoming for the 2006 Singapore hifi show on Aug. 11 to 13, the new Living Voice IBX-RW loudspeakers.  These are the inboard crossover versions of the new Living Voice OBX-RW.  The new Living Voice OBX-RW loudspeakers, with their outboard crossovers, were demoed at the UK 2006 Bristol show together with the latest update Kondo Audio Note Japan electronics (read more on the show details). 

Kondo KSL capacitors manufactured by Kondo Japan themselves.  It is rare in a company to manufacture capacitors, let alone most of the parts inside their products.  The company has almost total control of the finished product, to meet their high standards.

Kondo has an illustrious history of world's firsts.  The world's first silver wired MC step-up, world's first silver wired phono cartridge, world's first pure silver dual conductor interconnect, innovations in silver wired output transformer, silver wire OPT, pure copper chassis, etc.

We strive to bring you part of the magic heard at the UK 2006 Bristol show in the 2006 Singapore hifi show, where we will drive the Living Voice IBX-RW loudspeakers with more modest latest update Kondo Japan electronics.

Interested to see and talk to Kevin Scott, Living Voice designer ?  Then you'll have to visit the Hongkong 2006 hifi show, on the same date as the Singapore show, Aug 11 - 13.  The Living Voice OBX-RW will be seen at the Kondo Audio Note Japan room, together with Kondo engineers.

The ever musical Lavardin Technologies integrated amplifier, that musically embarrasses many more expensive pre-power amplification, together with the similarly high-performance Graham Slee phono stages will also see action, to carry the flag high for solid-state.  Both these brands never fail to grasp the musical essence, with the pace, rhythm and timing intact.  Give us a system that can time properly as well as render timbre well, anytime.

Scheu turntables ?  Well, these best buy turntables have already proven themselves by replacing some of the so-called "best".  And the new higher models have moved the sonic goal posts even further.

In response to queries on how to assemble the new Scheu Analog Das Laufwerk (DL) turntable series, we have added a new entry in the Scheu Analog FAQ page.  Read more ...

For  Scheu Analog Tacco unipivot tonearm owners around the world, please note that the effective length between pivot point and spindle is 212 mm.  We highly recommend the use of the Feickert Analogue universal protractor, The Tool, for setting up this or other tonearms and cartridges.  Correction of an error of even just 2mm in overhang can result in a huge sonic improvement, as our customer has proven.  Another customer reports results as sonically awesome.  These are the best argument for using The Tool, it's a no-brainer, a rocket launcher in one's arsenal of analog setup tools.

* All our tonearm-cartridge combinations will now be set up with the Feickert Analogue universal protractor, The Tool.  It is proving to be indispensable, easy to use, and certainly improves accuracy of setups in a much shorter time, either at the showroom or for our customers.  Innovative, the best alignment tool we've seen so far, and certainly not the most expensive. Getting the two point alignment right in one go is such a delight.  More details on The Tool in the June 20 news below.

Also incoming, the elegant dps turntable will arrive soon this week or next to bring more music at our showroom, with its new 2-phase power supply.  The dps turntable is coming in fresh from its success at the Munich High-End 2006 Show, where it was part of the system selected as best sound of the show by one of TNT-Audio's veteran analog men.  Show report below, June 15 news.
