001 - PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier Silver-high resJim Merod of Positive Feedback has written a great review about the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier!

Some quotes are;

” The PrimaLuna “Dialogue Premium” preamp is clearly among high-end audio’s greatest values… and, certainly, I believe, it provides essentially unrivaled musical accomplishment that no preamplifier at or near its retail price tag comes close to. The real enigma, in this reach toward assessment of absolute value, is how many much more expensive units achieve equal or almost equal sonic grandeur. My guess (and it is only that) is the sense that units five and six times its price may well fall short of what it delivers ”

”At a retail price of $3199, even on ol’ audio war horse is forced to admit that this wonderful creation is not merely a “good value” and a “bargain,” but one of the greatest pieces of certifiably audiophile grade gear on the market”

An Epiphany: An illuminating discovery! The PrimaLuna’s ProLogue Integrated Amplifier! Review by Dan Daniell

Posted on 01/09/2014 by beheerder

PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Integrated amplifierLast week we received again a great review on our PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Integrated Amplifier written by Dan Daniell (JDandy) from AudioAfficiando!

 

 

Some quotes are:

” Included in this impressive list of features are premium internal parts like… Alps Blue Velvet … Solen and Nichicon capacitors… toroidal transformer… All of these features would be right at home and expected in a $7,000 amplifier.”

”… my attention was captured by the resolution and clarity in Ronnie’s guitar and how weighty the deep electric bass sounded”

”I find myself questioning how PrimaLuna can achieve this performance level from an
integrated amplifier costing only $2299.”

Our PrimaLuna dealer Southporthifi in Australia published the full review on their website. Read the review here

Many thanks to Soutporthifi and Dan Daniell from AudioAfficiando

Herman van den Dungen’s connections with Japan Part 10

Posted on 21/08/2014 by beheerder

光悦と後奇跡、日本はしばらく見えなくなった。オランダで我々 は違うことをやって続けたし、私たちの新しいプロジェクトは、ああ ！Tjoeb cd プレーヤー。このチューブ cd プレーヤー非常に少量から成長している米国で特別、非常に人気となった。我々 は日本からの紳士から連絡された 1 日： DotLabo から肇土井氏。私達が学んだ彼は AH を買っていた ！米国からの Tjoeb cd プレーヤーそして我々 は彼を私たちから直接購入を示唆します。肇、AH と非常に速く非常に巧妙になった ！Tjoeb cd プレーヤーとすぐに彼は米国後市場数 2 をだった。肇は非常に気持が良い男だったし、我々 は彼と素敵な信頼性の高い、安定したビジネスをしていた。継続するのには。

After Koetsue and Kiseki, Japan was out of sight for a while. In The Netherlands we continued to do different things and one of our new projects was the AH! Tjoeb cd player. Growing from very small quantities, this tube cd player became very popular, specially in USA. One day we were contacted by a gentleman from Japan: Mr. Hajime Doi from DotLabo. We learnt he was buying AH! Tjoeb cd players from USA and we suggested him to buy from us direct. Hajime became very fast very successful with the AH! Tjoeb cd players and soon he was market number 2 after USA. Hajime was a very pleasant man and we had a nice, reliable and stable business with him. To be continued.

A gift from the past! Koetsu cartridges signed by Yoshiaki Sugano

Posted on 20/08/2014 by beheerder

After about 40 years in the audio business I have collected -without really collecting- a lot of audio and audio related material. In fact after all these years a part of our warehouse is like a small audiomuseum. Lot of things, each with their own story. Today some of these hidden treasures we want to share with you here on the blog. 30 years ago we introduced Koetsu cartridges to the European market. I went to visit Yoshiaki Sugano, the man who built the cartridges, several times. The past few weeks I shared my experiences with you through this blog. During one of these visits I received two cartridges as a gift from Mr. Sugano. One for mono and one for 78 rpm discs I think these are UNIQUE Koetsu cartridges. Signed by him and with some personal notes. Now I want to give someone the opportunity to obtain these cartridges. These have never been used and are in excellent condition. I also have 2 other Koetsu Onyx cartridges. Don’t know the condition of these, don’t know the story (if any) behind these. If someone is interested, please make me an offer before we offer them through general public websites like Ebay.

It concerns the following models:

-Koetsu Wood for mono 78 rpm records

-Koetsu Onyx for mono records, personally signed by Y. Sugano

-Koetsu Onyx for stereo records (2 pieces)
