Reviews[edit]
"These masterpieces of Japanese engineers in consummate technology and captivating design are eye-catching even when not in use and
and radiate that certain touch of individuality and extravagance. In use, the unrivalled warmth of analogue hi-fi quality touches not only the finest ears.
The visual appeal of the soothing synchronisation of the rotating large bands is also part of the musical experience here - making this type of listening so unique.
For many lovers, this has long been a ritual: music enjoyment at the highest level - balm for the stressed senses ..." (Quote: Dr.P./Berlin)
