    Our Piazzolla Master Tape at the Munich High End Show, 2018.

    We were the recipients of this exact tape. It is a sonic gem. It has a very "you are there" quality about it. I would consider this a "must have" for any tape collection. Simply amazing! Nice work Nikolai!

    Evolution Acoustics Lauches MMExact Lineup Of Loudspeakers

    Thanks Mike... Interesting that your experience mimicked mine. As the MM3 as Mike described excels in the areas of sense of space, being able to extract the micro dynamics and realistic timbre of instruments, the MMExact allows it to do MORE of what it already does so well. It draws you further...

    Evolution Acoustics Lauches MMExact Lineup Of Loudspeakers

    Agreed! I heard the MMExact at the designers house through MM3's.... Loved the difference as I got to listen with and without the MMExact. Took the already great MM3 to new heights.

    NVS Turntable?

    Maybe we are just too busy enjoying the turntable to post comments about how much we love it! I consider the NVS a reference level performer. I too have owned a few turntables and this one took my vinyl enjoyment to a whole different level. As a fellow tape head, the NVS is no slouch when...

    Record Cleaning Machines

    I may have 30 - 40 cleaned since the repair. Seems to be working ok. Just get the occasional water droplet. Still cleans better than my old VPI 17f. I just hope I never have to worry about future service issues.
