Eternal glowing of analog
In a small town in the American federal state of Minnesota, one
young man, whose name is Tri Mai, produce „Triplanar“ phono tonearms.
Mr. Tri Mai is not answering on the phone calls, rarely
corresponds to the mail and do not respect the deadlines. The greatest part of
his working time he spend in the room for calibration. The result of his work
and his concentration is one of only a few tonearms, best in the world.
History of "Triplanar" is similar to the history
of the Swiss watch industry, among other things that the designer of this masterpiece
was a watchmaker. G. Tri Mai is his only student and successor.
All settings on this masterpiece and the majority of them, can be done during
playback, via micro mechanisms. Friction in the bearings is in the domain of
theory. Geometry is precise to the limits. Most of the world's best pickups,
mounted on ''Triplanar", will provide without difficulties their maximum.
There is only one thing that is unmeasurable on this
tonearm- the amount of pure happiness which fulfills those rare and proud
owners.

PERFECTION: SONUS FABER
Borhes on one site says that the Roman Empire still exists, but now extends its power in the spirit, and not in the matter. When the loudspeakers from the Italian production "Sonus Faber"shine for the first time in our office, we have recalled these lines.
There is no audiophile whose heart is not shivering when he look at these masterpieces.They are the most beautiful decoration for any home. As every detail of this carefully thought speakers is created and inserted, so the sound of "Sonus Faber" share their unique beauty.
Their headquarters in the vicinity of Vicenza, their spirit and enthusiasm and their distributors talking about the success of which other can only dream. When we visited them recently,they greeted and received us like old friends. "Welcome to the family",was their wellcome after we signed contract. Representing "Sonus Faber''is not just a job, but, above all, pleasure. Listening and watching their speakers is a privilege and one of the forms of happiness.

CD players-technology or art ?
Time, energy and large financial resources are invested in the
best Hi-Fi systems. However, sometimes all this loses the meaning...it is time of
coping with the number and quality of records or discs, which proud owner is
listening.
Somewhere along the way, often forgotten are the best pieces
of Bach and Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky. Miles's trumpet never entered
in some rooms, and Coltrane, Ellington, Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett, forever
remains without welcome. Bob Dylan and Clapton, Janis Joplin and Sarah Vaughan
never sings from these expensive speakers. The whole history of blues remains
intact. Modern trends, new american rock, modern scandinavian jazz ... Instead
of the third pair of cables, buy a new pair of records. Instead of a little bit
better player, buy more discs.
This will ensure that your hobby will get a sense. Records and compact discs are
worth equally same as literature and the best books and films.
On our website, or in our salon, you will find a wide
selection of discs and vinyl records. Take advantage of this privilege as soon as possible. Stop listening
noises. Start listening MUSIC!
