Experience without compromise.
Clarisys Audio Atrium
The Atrium is Clarisys Audio’s no-compromise flagship — a full-range ribbon loudspeaker with extraordinary scale, speed, and musicality. Designed for large rooms and serious listeners, it combines immense dynamics with exceptional refinement. Built with ultra-wide Kapton/aluminum ribbon panels, dual bass sections, and a proprietary N52 magnet array, the Atrium delivers stunning realism and lifelike holography.
LampizatOr Horizon
The Horizon is LampizatOr’s ultimate statement DAC — a reference-level digital-to-analog converter designed without compromise. Featuring a fully balanced, dual-mono topology, tube-rectified power supply, and flagship DHT output stage, it transforms digital playback into a deeply emotional, analog-like experience. Natural, expansive, and effortlessly detailed — the Horizon redefines what digital audio can be.
VAC Master
The VAC Master Preamplifier embodies the essence of high-end tube design — refined, musical, and profoundly transparent. Featuring VAC’s proprietary iQ circuit, balanced Class A triode topology, and premium parts throughout, it reveals the full depth and texture of any recording. Effortless dynamics, an organic midrange, and holographic imaging make the Master a true centerpiece in any reference system.
VAC Master 300 iQ Monoblocks
The Master 300 iQ are VAC’s reference power amplifiers — 300 watts of pure tube authority, delivered with finesse and control. With fully balanced triode circuitry, massive power reserves, and the patented iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System, they combine explosive dynamics with delicate nuance. Designed to drive the most demanding speakers with ease, they represent the pinnacle of VAC’s engineering and musicality.
Pink Faun 2.16 Dual Ultra
The 2.16 Dual Ultra is Pink Faun’s ultimate music server — a no-compromise, dual-motherboard design built for ultra-low noise, ultra-high resolution digital playback. With fully isolated audio paths, proprietary OCXO clocking, and dedicated linear power supplies, it delivers bit-perfect signal with unmatched transparency. Designed for the most revealing systems, it’s the digital transport of choice for reference-level streaming and file playback.
Accuphase DF-75
The Accuphase DF-75 is a state-of-the-art digital active crossover — offering precise control over time alignment, crossover points, and slopes with uncompromising sound quality. Built around ultra-low-jitter architecture and premium D/A converters, it allows seamless integration of multi-way systems with absolute phase and tonal accuracy. A must-have for serious active loudspeaker setups where precision and musicality go hand in hand.
Signal Projects Gondor S
The Gondor S is a state-of-the-art power distribution and filtration system designed to deliver ultra-clean power to high-end audio components. Housed in a dual-chassis structure, it features 12 output sockets — 5 for high-current components and 7 individually filtered and isolated outlets. A built-in microprocessor monitors power quality in real time and activates dedicated filtering modules as needed. With up to 50 amps capacity, hybrid 7N copper wiring, and a proprietary low-noise grounding topology, the Gondor S ensures unmatched clarity, neutrality, and dynamic range across your entire system.
Kronos Audio Perpetual
The Perpetual represents Kronos Audio’s ultimate analogue statement — a suspended, dual-platter, precision-engineered deck designed for absolute musical truth. With motor-driven counter-rotation eliminating torque-induced vibration, and each platter’s rotation tightly regulated via independent open-loop feedback, it achieves rock-solid speed stability. A dual-motherboard, pure class-A linear power supply maintains silence and precision. Experience an expansive soundstage, ultra-low noise floor, and musical expressiveness that faithfully conveys every nuance of your recordings
Ictra Design Proto
The Proto is Ictra Design’s precision-engineered equipment rack—a no-compromise foundation for reference systems. Featuring a single-piece steel frame, adjustable three-point supports, and optimised shelves, it achieves near-complete resonance decoupling. Each level is supported by high-performance bearings and CNC-machined poles, combined with bamboo or composite shelving to suppress vibration. The result: ultra-quiet, ultra-stable support that lets your components perform at their absolute best, both technically and sonically
Soulution 757 Deemphasis Preamplifier
The 757 is Soulution’s flagship analog front-end—a true “Swiss Army knife” of low-level analog amplification with no compromises. It accepts MM/MC cartridges, tape-heads, and even DS Audio optical cartridges, all supported by ultra-wideband instrumentation amplifier inputs (2 MHz bandwidth, noise density < –170 dBV/√Hz, CMRR > 100 dB) for unmatched signal purity .
An 80-step relay-switched gain control ensures precision and no-click operation, while a robust Class-A output stage offers a 20 MHz bandwidth with extremely low output impedance—ideal for driving long cables with full dynamics and clarity .
The unique deemphasis functionality delivers ultra-accurate phono and tape equalisation (RIAA, DECCA, NAB, and more) within ±0.05 dB from 20 Hz to 200 kHz, preserving tone, phase integrity, and spatial realism .
A dual‑mono power supply architecture—combining SMPS, local DC/DC conversion, and fast linear regulation—minimises noise and keeps analog circuits ultra-clean .
Users report the 757 uniquely blends deep, weighty low-end reinforcement with visceral detail and tonal richness, raising analog reproduction to a level of presence and realism previously unheard in vinyl playback
