Description

I am assembling this Analog only system for a very small room. It will be the very minimum amount of components and the maximum musical enjoyment. The table is a special one of a kind Acoustic Signature with a Kozma Stogi arm. The cartridge is the top of the line Shelter. Interconnects by Audio Tekne, speaker wire the same, Amp Audio Tekne with a North Star Phono stage . Adept Response from Audience for AC and Spendor Special Edition 3/5 as the transducer.

    One of a kind specially built for us . Is it the best. Could be
    • North Star Phono preamplifer
    This Italian beauty renders the same tonal balance and texture you would enjoy in the fine concert halls in Italy. It weighs a ton and has a seperate internal power supply connected by an umbilical cord.
    • Audio Tekne Simona IT 2
    This is a wonderful triode pure class A amplifer using a single dual triode tube working push pull per channel. We have delivered a number of these and they are very special. It has a volume control so our system is going to be a very simple configuration.
    • Spendor S 3/5 se Rosewood
    These speak for themselves. We are looking for the lowest coloration for a very small room. What can I say?
    • Audio Tekne ARC 500
    These are the finest sounding connections we know of. They are micro fine litz covered with enamal and shielded with metal. No inductance and lovely smooth.

    Just right detail and a real improvement .

Hi,

My compliments on the very nice system that you have assembled, I particularly like the Acoustic Signature turntable and Copulare stand. Could you possibly tell me a little more about the turntable, I already know that it is a one-of-a-kind but I was hoping I could talk A-S into building another one "for a price". Can you mount multiple tonearms as on the other A-S turntables? Is there a third support tower in the middle rear? Is the motor freestanding or is it supported on a tower attached to the turntable chassis? Do you think that this turntable would be suitable with a linear tracking tonearm like the Kuzma Air Line or AirTangent? Have you tried the Boston Audio Design carbon record mat with your A-S? Sorry for all of the questions. Thanks and happy listening.

Thanks for taking a look. This table is one that was built specially for CES 2003. It is the only one of it's kind as far as I know . Soon thereafter Acoustic Sig was aquired. It has a Kuzma and a shelter 90x . We purchased it at the show. We distribute Piega and several other great brands. It sit's atop a customized Copulare Grand Porto that was also specially prepared for us that has real gold guilding adorning the towers and spikes and platforms. The stand has a hand inlaid Star of Arabia in rosewood laid in Pearwood. The combo is extrodinary. I've listened to every major table produced from Walkers to Rockports and this combo is the best. Absolutely black background with dynamics that will shake your brain. We are having fun now.

Great looking table. Did Gunther make it? I sometimes feel like my Mambo (see URL below for photo) is a "one of a kind" as I never see or hear of another anywhere. Mine is set up with a Tri Planar MKVII 'arm and a Shelter 90x cartridge and sounds better that any 'table I have ever heard. I think the only reason why their 'tables are not more popular is poor U.S. distribution and perhaps poor manufacturer support.
