What a show has been the 2018 edition of the Klangschloss.ch in Greifensee. Very enjoyable and very smooth in the long run.

Public was at a very high musical level, presentations were amazing, location was gorgeous… and we had a beautiful weather ;-)

We had a big setup composed by:

- Merging Nadac 8 channel DAC-Preamplifier with external power supply

- Gato Audio CD Player

- Gato Audio Mono Power Amplfiiers

- Whole cabling by Cammino

- Decouplers from Omicron

- Loudspeakers Genuin FS 1 MK 2 from Blumenhofer

- Rack studied and developed by us in Attalens

From the pictures You can have more information about the components and how they have been connected in our setup

The listening room was split in half: we shared the room with Illusonic, a Swiss company specialised in digital sound processing. This is not our philosophy, it is a different approach that can suit quite a lot of situations, where it is not possible to work with analogue technologies. Very appreciable.

We only had digital music, played with a Roon-based control. It was the first time since longer time that browsing the titles on the iPad gave a certain analogue feeling. Andrea says that he will investigate Roon as soon as he is at home, when an LP-convinced like him says so, it must mean something.

At the show there were several rooms playing completely analogue setups, as You can see from the pictures, with reel to reel and really classic 40 years and older turntables.

One really amazing part were the presentations that occurred in the show days. Here You can download it and get a short feeling, of what Andrea Vitali from Blumenhofer Acoustics lectured. There were much more people in the lecture, than he expected. The feedback was positive, very informal and informative speech, they said. Andrea accepted the compliment and enjoyed the questions after the lecture.

We all enjoyed the show at the Klangschloss and the great engagement of Marcus to have a great show in the amazing avenue. Looking forward for the Klangschloss 2019.

In the meantime You can enjoy here some pictures of the 2018 event

We have decided (and had the chance to get a room) to participate to the Klangschloss Greiffensee on the 14-15th of April 2018.

We will play:

We will be in Room 9b and there will be the chance to hear a presentation of Andrea Vitali about Horn loudspeakers, how they are built, which principles are behind them and what are their properties.

On the first issue of 2018 Stereoplay, there is a nice review written by Andreas Günther. Have a read, in German.

We were at the Swiss High End 2017, the setup was impressive and included all the news we have in our portfolio: Hegel, Manger, Cammino, Dr. Feickert, Nadac, Lavardin, Brandt Audio.

Daniela Manger herself (and You can see it in the pictures here) supported us in the show and we had a very pleasant and enjoyable time, lot of good stuff and lot of good music.

Mr. Giradischi from the Analog Audio Association expressed a very positive impression on our presentation. Here You can read his comments in German. Here is the original page on the AAA Association webpage
