That seems to be innous and audionote dac and Odeon speakers also?
I Really find the design of the gm70 Amp very elegant. It kind of reminds me of Sonic Frontiers old beauties.

Yes I listen but my memory from that listening is not the best. As usual, I was fully occupied with photographing all the rooms/exhibitors and therefore concentrated more on the camera than the actual music playback. What I do remember, however, was that in Knispel's room they played R2R, which sounded very good to my taste.

Ytterligare ett event i musikens tecken har gått av stapeln. Här kommer vad det lider både bilder och kommentarer. Häng gärna med, egna bidrag i form av upplevelser och bilder är naturligtvis välkommet.

I read swedish just fine. Norrbagge från grannlandet..
An oldie but goodie…
YBA passion 1000 mono. Not in production anymore.
Alef Delta/Sigma Solista, also monoblocks.
200w also as the YBA ( at 8 ohms) but will Drive 2000w continous and burst output at 12000w. Yes 12 KW!!!
adjustable gain 2-5 volts.
6 MHz full power bandwith
And it is totally stable into zero point two - 0.2 ohms.
Yes… not a missprint.
43500 euro per pair I believe
But can be ordered with Silver cables internally
That version I have never seen sold used, ever
I
Beauties…
Understated design.

It does a bit .
VIOLA labs is probably the best Solid state bar none.
I have no idea why this brand is not more popular.
Grain free natural sounding ( control)

I tend to agree, but Van Den hul Cable the company that has a very good circuit designer by the name of Juergen Ultee.
This is the VDH Excalibur monoblock amp. It is a 10 mhz design. ca 10-11000 euro per monoblock
On a loudspeaker that never will use more then 20 -100w. This might be ... the stuff of legends
Or Cadence, as Viola calls one of their AmpsProbably dont pay a high enough admission fee to the american reviewer industry
Inderdaad waar …
A business model is needed. Some use it and some don’t.
Connections are also power. Of things Dutch one can do, to go dutch… meaning - Amps (companies) that Are reviewed in magazines and pay for ads and allow very extended use of a components by said reviewers do reap the blessing for it.
A Michael Fremer article/answer a while ago adresses this issue at lenght…
Sadly it is a thing, and sadly needed. But it is also a known cheat…
It is a Cadence, a Rhythm, a partnership.

How about because they don't exist anymore - at least under their listed website address...
Yes, I have seen that.
Viola audiolabs stem from Mark Levinson the man and the Brand .
You have 3 main names connected… that is
Tom Colangelo - head designer - not with us anymore…
Then there is Paul Jayson.
And another that was instrumental is Joshua Cohn
That founded Ears Nova (-High Fidelity) in 1979.
Was located on fifth avenu. But after I’d say 2016 things changed. And again in 2022 there was another Change
Status now is as far as I can tell that the website is down. What more to know … is unknown
Ever since about the start in the year ca 2000 They have always kept a low profile. It is their thing….
Some Amps Are still for sale some places but IF production is still ongoing I dont know.
One would have to Ask dealers about that.
