The photo shows the original of the manufacturer Avalon.

Frequency response: unimportant

Replica in side view

Here tweeter and midrange driver from Accuton in side view

The protective basket of the tweeter has been removed in favour of an improved three-dimensionality. Unfortunately this led to the destruction of the sensitive ceramic membrane of the other box. After replacing the tweeter, I did not remove the basket.

Replica in total "beauty"

Unfortunately, my wife disagrees. The beasts are actually quite massive. Fortunately, so is the sound. I always wonder what kind of bass this relatively small driver produces.

Unfortunately this reproduction is not documented on the current page. However, the CAD drawings of the two available variants can be downloaded there.

A small diva

A small error in the settings unfortunately ruins the listening pleasure.

My Ruby AIR III

This system is not one of the fine beauticians correctly adjusted, but also able to rock properly.

Beautifully detailed and finely resolving, it can also be. Actually, of course, it is not a bargain for the normal earner.

Here are two of these exceptional drivers, which I was able to acquire after years of searching. In the project part it will come probably soon the building instruction to a new edition of the Replicon.

Endless possibilities

The software can be adapted to pretty much anything.

Here my own device

She plays on a Raspberry 3 with HiFiBerry extension.

With 7 inch touchpad

By using the optical output, I can transfer the digital data without the need for an A/D converter directly into the amplifier.

Here works the first chip that has to master analog conversion.

Volumio

A successful piece of HighEnd

designed by Stuart Yaniger (SY)

An important device: XOno phono preamplifier

This device brought me back to the semiconductor side.

The beginnings date back more than two decades and yet......read and best of all, listen for yourself.

Tubes at work

A RIAA tube PreAmp, supported by the Sowter StepUp transformers.

Here shortly before installation in a housing

On the Sowter website there is an explanation that they do not offer silver wire wound transformers, because there would have been no sound advantage!!!! All due respect, that's brave.

Here the Devialet 120 in its original packaging

technical data:

THD+N (Tonal/Harmonic Distortion) at full power: 0,001%

IMD (Intermodulation Distortion) SMTPE: 0,001%

SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio): 130dB unweighted

Thermal distortion: not measurable

Output impedance: kleiner 0,001 Ohm

Bandwidth through digital inputs at 2Ohm to 8Ohm load:

DC-87kHz (-3dB), DC-60kHz (-1dB), DC-30kHz (-0,1dB)

Analog inputs except 0,1Hz instead of DC

Unpacked in all its beauty

Actually a very interesting device.

Actually, I bought this device to have a working amplifier when connected to the tubes again, I say something needs to be improved.

As we all know, technically good readings do not necessarily indicate a high quality amplifier. Especially amplifiers with outstanding measured values often sound sterile.

Devialet has solved this problem very well. A (Mini) Class A output stage serves the digital amplifier. The sound of this sweetheart is certainly something to be heard.

What I like most about it is the unproblematic processing of digital data.

The remote control with appealing haptics

The remote control looks unusual, but fulfills all wishes. The massive volume control lies well in the hand. The operation of the options is intuitive.

The volume control works without delay. All settings are found very quickly.

The APP

There is also an app for Android and IOS that works very well.

Here my own device

I also mounted a Tabriz tonearm due to lack of availability.

A picture with mounted Benz Micro Ruby Air III

Again and again I looked at the optically opulent mass drives of Transrotor. I had already done several tests, but could never decide on a device.

One sun day at the german crime scene "Tatort" it was time again; The victim owned a transrotor and after a close-up. my wife just noticed with a grin: "You'd like to have one of those, wouldn't you?"

Here with BFly base

This saying actually made me (although I was satisfied) think again about changing to Transrotor. Again the tests of the devices affordable for me read AND: Fortunately, there was a reference to an alternative device:

To my Roksan. After I had read the test for my "Persian King" again, there was only one decision:

He's staying with me for sure!!!

Actually, the bottleneck on this turntable player.

Since my finances do not allow a new tonearm and there are hardly inexpensive used Artemis, the Tabriz stays with me for a few more days.

A friend of mine from the electronics industry gave me some of these line filters for me to build myself. At least the circuit boards and electronics. I then had to commit the housing myself.

Since I am very sceptical about these sound enhancers (mains filter, ultrapure copper, moonlit silver cable, tinctures for application) I put the kits well packed in the corner.

An acquaintance whom I gave one of these kits thanked many times and pointed out the positive effect. In fact, I also noticed a noticeable sound improvement. On one of the project pages you will find further statements.
