This year has been a low level Munich High End, just supporting STS-Digital at his booth and then the evenings as usual in Walkertshofen.

And supporting Octave as well...

Both companies used our power harmonizer and some of our cabling. Curious? Take a look at the pictures here

Marco our distributor surpassed himself.
He organized the show with an exceptional presence of our brand: our cables and power harmonizers were present in 3 rooms.

In one room there was:
- Genuin FS 1 of Blumenhofer Acoustics
- in a setup with 4 Turntables from Pluto and Acoustics Signature
- 4 Phono preamplifiers from Einstein, van den Hul, Octave and Monk Audio
- and the Octave V110 with a (silver) black box.
- 2 of our Power Harmonizers!!

a really impressive setup.
On the sunday, in this room have been recorded and replayed a live concert of Case Mayfield. It was astonishing to have the artist sitting there and the music playing 1 to 1 and hardly notice a difference between the live and the playback performance.

The second room had:
- Blumenhofer Acoustics Genuin FS 2
- Einstein integrated amplifier
- Einstein Phono Preamplifier
- Dr. Feickert Blackbird
- and just one power harmonizer

The third room showed:
- Blumenhofer Acoustics big Fun 20
- Hans Acoustics Turntables
- and 'just' cabling from us

Here more pictures!

This is not a really Cammino Event, is something that we and Blumenhofer Supported.

The Church Santa Maria Assunta in Bibione received a new organ from one beloved member of his community, Rino Benedet.

Then we discovered that Fritz de With from STS-Digital has a spleen for organ music and loves to record organs.
Agreements were made and quite fast the decision was taken.
With the support of the community in Bibione the Church has been able to finance the production of the CD of the inaugural concert of the organ.

The CD is only for internal use of the Church and for the local community. You can contact Don Andrea Vena here if You wish to have more information about it.

Under magistral conduction of Maestro Daniel Roth from Saint Sulpice in Paris, the result and the sound were really moving.
These and these were the music played and the program of the concert
This concert was the opening concert for the Summer organ concert season in Bibione. Here You can download the whole program of the season.

The Organ comes from the Francesco Zanin company of Codroipo, Udine, Italy. Their site is still in construction but You can reach them here.
Some data of the organ can be read in this document

To perform the recording Fritz de With used a 4 microphone setup, placing 2 microphones in front of the altar directed to the two wings of the organ plus 2 more microphones about 10 meters behind to be able to generate the ambience of the church and eliminate some of the unavoidable disturbs arising during a live concert.
The microphones from Shoeps were connected to a Nagra VI pro 8-channel recorder. The power supply chain of the electronic involved was from us, whom else?

After enjoying the concert in the church, we spent the whole sunday playing the tracks again and again to understand the quality and start a first remixing process to decide the relative levels of the tracks. We were astonished, I've never had the experience of listening for a concert a second time in that quality. It beamed me away into a meditative status: fantastic! I'm looking forward for hearing the CD at my place.

Here some pictures taken during those days

What to tell about the Norddeutsche HiFi Tage.
It is one of the most appealing consumer HiFi shows in Germany and we participated this year as well with Blumenhofer and Einstein.
This time it was not intended to be minimalistic it was a really huge system and played really good music.
The groove was there, the energy pushed us to the wall and the wish to increase the volume was there, but we had to spare the ears of our visitors.
The visitors came… and forgot to leave the room. At certain moments it was that full that we were not able to move.

We had a Genuin(e) good sound. This was the setup:

- Einstein Vorstufe - The Tube
- Einstein Endstufe - The Poweramp
- Einstein CD Player - The Source
- Einstein Phono Preamplifier - The Turntable's Choice
- Pluto Audio Plattenspieler
- Van den Hul Tonabnehmer
- Blumenhofer Acoustics Lautsprecher - Genuin FS 2

Guess which was our part?

And if You are curious to see some pictures, they are here.
See You in 2014!

During those days there were quite some names of the HiFi Industry over there, Octave, Pluto Audio, Blumenhofer Acoustics.
Well, Blumenhofer Acoustics was in fact the host, where we had our listening and recording sessions.
Goal of those days was to generate a CD recording it directly from the LP. A challenge for the recording engineers after that!

Our Part, of course, You can imagine it... enjoy here the pictures taken, for the CD will take until the next Munich High End!

On the trip trough Holland we started a cooperation with STS-Digital as well.
This is the post production room and, as You can see, there is a Power Harmonizer on the system, from now on, all CDs and LPs produced by STS-Digital will use a Power Harmonizer!

In an idillic Dutch landscape, we had one of the most important meeting in the last few years, and we were a little bit nervous at the beginning... but just at the beginning!!
Henk and Marja, a very nice couple, collaborating in their free time for 6moons, one of the leading e-zines for HiFi in the world, have been able make us feel welcome at once.

The reason, of this nervousness was simply that this was the most challenging exam for our products. It was the test wether our products was worth putting on the market or not...
...the result will come sometimes in the future, but something we can already tell You, straight from the beginning the feeling was good. Straight from the beginning both of them Henk & Marja liked the finely structured thinking behind the product and the philosophy supporting it.

Here to see some pictures made there.
