In 2013, ATC delivered the current, third generation SCM7 that you see before you, this was the first to feature the company’s own tweeter, developed in-house by Richard Newman, alongside a proprietary ATC mid/bass driver. It was also the first showing of the formed and laminated curved side cabinet that is now seen across the SCM range and developed to increase both stiffness and damping, not to mention reducing internal reflections.

The Electrocompaniet Tana SL-2 is designed for use in a smaller room, maybe as a second system in a bedroom or kitchen, or you can set them up around the house as a multi-room system. Although compact I found the Tana, particularly in its two speaker stereo configuration, worked well even in the large, high ceilinged living/listening room that we have downstairs.
I must admit to being someone who never used to enjoy hearing the words ‘wireless’ and ‘speaker’ used in close proximity. The market is full of cheap, almost disposable, options, however, the Electrocompaniet offering is in the class of the likes of the iFi Aurora, Devialet Phantoms and Naim Musos, being a high-quality build with ‘proper’ HiFi credentials.

Technics CD player, SACD player, network streamer and DAC is a really interesting product – but I can’t help but feel that we are witnessing something that fifteen years from now, will feel akin to one of those old hybrid VHS/DVD video recorders from the mid-nineteen nineties. In other words, it’s a super-clever do-everything design – but very much of its time.

French cable expert and electro-mechanics engineer Richard Cesari founded Esprit over 20 years ago. Esprit might not be the first name to roll off the tongue in terms of audio hookups, but perhaps it should be. Why? Because the Esprit Beta interconnect and loudspeaker cables, and the Alpha power cords all represent extraordinary value for money. They are basically high-end cables that forgot to get a bit too ‘spendy’. Everything about them, from the box they come in, to the braided shield, to the quality of the connectors, all says ‘money’, and the performance they elicit isn’t exactly cheap-sounding either.

BEYOND CONVENTIONAL > Serie T/x is instantly seen as crisper, fresher a full upgrade. A faster, more transparent sound system performance awaits you with higher output levels and even greater impact.
SOUND BEYOND SIZE
We prefer to refine, to build generationally upon a solid foundation while searching relentlessly for every possible way to legitimately improve upon our past performance.
Our goals were not simply to improve upon its illustrious predecessor, but to deliver as much as possible of our latest Serie S on a budget.

Introducing the PH-1000 – the most advanced phono stage we have ever designed.
Technology and Class-A analogue components perfectly combined to extract even the finest of details from your records. With more fine adjustments you’ll ever need for your MM and MC cartridges, and the widest selection of EQ curves available today. A whopping 18 EQ curves are in fact available, covering most of the record labels that released vinyl even before the introduction of the RIAA.
All realised through analogue discrete components controlled via the intuitive rotary control SKC and the display…no more dip switches nor external circuits.

Elektrika je vedno vroča tema v hi-fi in vrhunskih krogih. Še posebej, kadar naj bi skozi pretanke bakrene žice prešlo preveč toka. Potem svetijo, žice. In še bolj forumi, ko gre za to temo. Jaz pa se poskušam s takimi vprašanji spoprijeti trezno in hladno. Če vem, da če so takšni testi uspešni v smislu zvoka, se mi lahko ušesa resnično vroče. In ker sem zgolj radoveden, bom danes tukaj preizkusil linijski filter in napajalnik Powergrip YG-1.VEČ…

Electrocompaniet has two parallel product ranges – the EC Living Line and the Classic Line. The former offers compact, convenient systems and/or speakers, while the latter – from which the AW250 R stereo power amplifier is taken – is an old school, unreconstructed range of hi-fi separates. This two-channel dual-mono design puts out a claimed 2x 250W RMS per channel into 8 ohms of Class AB power. Thanks to its stiff, so-called Floating Transformer Technology power supply, the power doesn’t fall away into lower loads; it punches out 2x 380W into 4 ohms, 2x 625W into 2 ohms and a surprising 2x 1,100W into 1. Boom!

Podjetje, ki ga je sredi osemdesetih let ustanovil Olé Møller, je vedno imelo kaj za ponuditi izkušenim avdiofilom, zlasti tistim, ki iščejo kombinacijo cevne tehnologije, visokokakovostne izdelave in tipično skandinavskega dizajna.
…..
Zanimivo je, da ta tipično skandinavski koncept vključuje nekaj zanimivih, značilnih za Copland lastnosti, kot so aluminijasto ohišje z debelo, ravno sprednjo ploščo, krog z infrardečim senzorjem in LED v sredini, ki uporabnika obveščajo o načinu delovanja naprave in aktivnem vhodu. in tudi čudoviti gumbi, od katerih tistega, ki je odgovoren za nadzor glasnosti, odlikujejo nenavadne oznake (čeprav deluje natančno tako kot večina analognih gumbov).

Britansko podjetje za akustične pretvornike, danes znano kot tehnologija zvočnikov ATC, je leta 1974 ustanovil Billy Woodman. Njegov prvi in najpomembnejši cilj je bila izdelava elektroakustičnih pretvornikov po meri, ki bi jih lahko uporabljali tako v profesionalnih kot domačih zvočnikih. Manufaktura je hitro pridobila slavo po zaslugi 12-palčnega pretvornika PA75-314, ki je zasnovan za odrski zvočni sistem, kjer je potrebna prenos moči z najmanjšim možnim popačenjem. VEČ…
