E-newsletter for August 2004

Introduction
Since our last newsletter, we have not been resting on our laurels but were really busy scouring the world for new and truly outstanding brands to represent, and the effort has certainly paid off!
Listed below are some of the most talked-about and highly rated brands in the audio industry right now, to add to our already strong lineup of audio equipment.
 

AUDIOPAX
Three years ago, I first took notice of this unique brand of SET amplifiers when Avantgarde USA claimed that Audiopax were the ‘best amplifiers in the world’ or something to that effect. Since then, Audiopax has won numerous awards and has also been the subject of rave reviews in many magazines all over the world.

If you think that all SET amps are restricted in dynamics, have weak and ill-defined bass or can’t drive normal speakers, then you owe it to yourself to listen to these beauties!

GRAND PRIX AUDIO
Considered by many in the audio industry to be the Rolls Royce of racks, Grand Prix Audio has really made a big impact in the market of late. Now considered as the reference standard by which all other designs are compared to, Grand Prix Audio racks were seen in abundance in many of the top exhibitors at the CES for the last two years. What makes us think that these racks are the best? Read some of the reviews and you’ll be a believer too!

Make no mistake about it - these racks are not cheap! But if you have spent serious money on your serious audio system and you want to squeeze every last ounce of performance from it, then the Grand Prix racks may just be the best purchase you can make.

TRI-PLANAR
Is this the best pivoted tonearm in the world?

We are not absolutely sure, but it must surely come close! Winner of numerous prestigious awards and rave reviews, the Tri-Planar's unique dual-pivot design offers maximum adjustability and watch-like precision. Its technological and adjustment features are too numerous to list here, but suffice it to say that the moment I set eyes on it, I knew that I had to have it! Its fit and finish is to such a high standard that you will feel confident that it can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

SIMON YORKE DESIGNS - MARK VIII
Are you searching for that ‘last’ turntable? A statement product that will be your pride and joy for the rest of your life (hopefully)?

Consider the Simon Yorke Designs S-7 transcription turntable. A marque that does not advertise or submit its products for reviews, yet has a lead-time of up to 6 months for every turntable ordered. Every unit is individually handcrafted and fine-tuned to Swiss precision standards by the man himself. Is it any wonder then, that the US government commissioned one for its American Library of Congress? It is also Michael Framer’s (of Stereophile magazine fame) reference turntable. It is currently on demo in our showroom.

TRANSFIGURATION
This brand of moving coil cartridges from Japan has been receiving plenty of favourable reviews and so much word-of-mouth recommendations in the audio industry, that we simply couldn’t resist acquiring it to add to our top-class range of analogue products.

Acknowledged as one of the most promising cartridge makers to come out in recent history, their value-for-money designs are true giant killers! Click here for more details.

LATEST BREAKING NEWS
Shunyata Research’s long awaited Hydra 6 power conditioner is finally available! We have a few units coming in with our next shipment, and they should be in Singapore by the time you read this.

Priced at SG$1990, it comes packaged with Shunyata’s highly acclaimed Diamondback power cord as the lead-out. For those of you who have waited months for it to arrive, please don’t hesitate too long, as we don’t expect the stock to last more than a week.

No application forms required and no waiting time for approval. All you need is either a POSB/DBS, Diners Club or UOB VISA credit card. No gimmicks and no hidden costs.
