NEW! LINDEMANN MUSICBOOK 25:DSD
The much awaited musicbook 25:DSD has arrived and is ready for your audition.
This new version packs a bunch of new features (hardware upgrade) and that’s why upgrading from the original version can only be done in Germany. Putting DSD playback and upsampling aside, most importantly, the sound improvement is VERY startling. The various up-sampling options are highly effective and make meaningful differences.

AUDES MAESTRO SERIES
Happy to inform you that our new showroom now has all the 3 models of AUDES Maestro series available for audition – 106 (bookshelf), 116 (2-way floorstander) and 146 (3-way floorstander).
Like all AUDES speakers, the Maestro series are fully handcrafted in Estonia, a speaker specialist with some 80 years of history. The Maestro range is easy to drive, space friendly, good looking (esp. in luxurious Alpi Macassar finish) and most important of all, sounding beyond its asking price.
If you are looking for a pair of speakers in the $2000 to $5000 range, don’t forget to listen to the AUDES Maestro range.

9TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
We celebrated our 9th anniversary in a big way on 13th August 2016. This is also the day we begin our new milestone as we commenced business in a new, much bigger retail space at The Adelphi.
We would like to thank all our customers, friends, our families and especially to those who helped us, guided us (behind the scene). We certainly wouldn’t have done it without you. [Click here] for more pictures.
AUDIOPHILEBASE HI-FI RACKS
We now have the BetaBase, StarBase and QuattraBase hi-fi racks installed in our new showroom. So what do you expect to hear from these new anti-vibration racks? Most obvious of all is improvement in image solidity and a blacker background. One bonus you may even find is that you need less of those (pricey) isolation feets.
High-end individual vibration control supporting platforms for sub-woofers, mono-block amps etc are also available.

MANGER P1 REVIEW
The Manger P1 passive floor-standers scores another impressive review from a new review (see last para).

– desire a large sweet spot. An open, spacious sound
– have limited listening space
– love your music accurate, natural, non-fatigue
– do not need the lowest octaves or thunderous volume
