Calynx Coffee Review

Calynx Coffee Review [.pdf]

Hi Fi Art - Abstract

It is the art of high fidelity; or, to pamper the yet unsatisfied ego, the art of "High Living:" a philosophy, a way of life, an analysis (of daily life), and, a prescription of sorts, for better - or at least more - living. In it we will analyze things that make a marked improvement and humane effect on the world, regardless of strata. It is a matter of fidelity.

Nous espérons que
cette étude va nous faire mieux. Plus fidèle. Plus adepte. Plus vrai. Plus de détails dans la manière d'être. Mais, c'est au-delà de nous: nous n'avons pas lu Heidegger. Ni Hegel. Ni Sartre. Ni un grand nombre de chefs d'oeuvre de l'écrit, de la pensée civilisée. Ce qui nous intéresse n'est pas l'esprit par lui-même, dans une cage, pour ainsi dire, mais le chemin esprit critique à l'égard ambition concrétisée.


For this year, several things interest us ...

The Gryphon Pendragon

We have written to Gryphon and received a response from Flemming E. Rasmussen. He responds that the Pendragon will not be available for review in North America.

B&O Beolit 12
Since it's introduction we have had our eye on the Beolit 12 by Bang and Oluffsen. It's profound. This year, we hope to review it.

Sonus Faber: Armati Futura and Guarnari Evolution
We have written to Sonus Faber, and have been instructed to contact them further to arrange review of these interesting products.

This speaker interests us as the epitome of the high-end, visually.

We have listened briefly to a pair of Futura's at Hi Fi Centre and given them a visual rating. (100%)

Stax and Sanders

Is reference level sound available at 10 ¢ on the dollar? Practically, we wish to review the Stax 009 reference headphone, with our Stax 007t vacuum tube amplifier, and compare the sonic performance (and envelope) with our Stax 007 Omega II electrostatic "earspeaker" technically.

To compare the Stax 009 sound with a leading contemporary electrostatic speaker: The Sanders 10C. Is reference level sound available at 10¢ on the dollar?
