” German Thöress company is one of those small audio manufactures known mainly to enthusiasts of high calibre. Its owner isn’t into recognition at all. Driven by passion he does his own thing, happy customers handle all the rest and the Thöress word is spread in such fashion for two decades or so. “ With these words David starts his journey into Reinhard  Thöress  world in his latest Thöress F2A11 integrated amplifier review.

Ross Mantle of Audio BEAT just published this wonderful review of KR VA 910 mono amplifiers. This is an interesting write up about rather interesting  amps as there is no other PP amp existing which with Max 160 W output given is capable to stay in pure Class A up to 120 Watts. Quite impressive.  This article is especially interesting to me due to his use of Lansche Audio P- 5.1 speakers ,which are complete contrary to KSK stats used in the Sound Stage Ultra test.

It is sad to confirm that Holger passed away yesterday, in his home, the old CAN studio in Weilerswist.

This is another great personal lost to me on my music in life map. The pain is huge. It is like loosing the member of the family to me. I did feel the same twice in life so far. First when  Miles Davis left, and recently after Charlie Haden’s departure. All of them helped me to find the Beauty in life and their music guided me all through and do continue so. Many great musicians left us this year and their importance is indisputable. This introduction then is to make it vivid how much those three were particularly important to myself.

Half year back I announced that an Olympus of  KBL ‘s family of power cables had been changed with the new Pantheon of Gods taking over. Since that time ,also the Power Distributor went through entire evolution.

The review below takes us closer to all the subjects mentioned above. Have a good read and enjoy a lot of priceless information on that how to make your system better!

StavEssence is not your usual cable company. The only cables you will be able to find here are network and USB cables. But that shows immediately that company focuses on the modern technologies and on streaming and networking in particular, developing type of cables which origin from the IT market. The main brain behind the brand and company owner, Mr. Karol Staworko is not your usual designer either. He makes his creations verifying results with his senses rather, than by sticking up to measurements and norms.

Dear friends in music, this is a sad duty to announce that lost.  Peter “Principle” Dachert, longtime bassist and songwriter for experimental post-punk band Tuxedomoon, was found dead Monday morning of natural causes, according to his bandmates. He was 63.  Dachert’s death comes a little more than one year after fellow band member Bruce Geduldig died on his 63rd birthday. Looks like a course number 63. Tuxedomoon was to play several dates in Europe, starting on Jul. 28 with a show in Italy which I was planning to attend. The band obviously has canceled the European tour.
