American Music Ribbon Nordost Odin Gold In order to achieve perfection, change must start from the basics, and this is the philosophy behind the birth of the American Music Ribbon Nordost Odin Gold. As a pioneer in the Hi-end audio cable industry, Odin Gold combines the latest and most advanced cable manufacturing technologies of today, not only inheriting the revolutionary technology of its Odin 2 Odin 2 series, but also introducing an unprecedented element of fantasy, resulting in an unprecedented increase in the stability, conductivity and resistance of the conductor. A new generation of reference flagship cables Odin Gold is a new generation of reference grade flagship wire, which is an extraordinary achievement because of its ability to inject a sense of reality into the whole system in real time. Its intervention will inevitably make you wonder why the current system sounds more prominent than before, and make you question the existence of other so-called unbeatable cables. Gold is the perfect match Not only does gold have the sparkle and glamour of a lifetime, it is also an extremely stable, highly conductive, and valuable metal with extremely low internal resistance. When gold is covered with 8N (99.999999%) high purity single copper conductors using special technology, it prevents oxidation of the conductor, creating a constant and reliable signal path, and at the same time achieving a high level of precision that cannot be achieved with other metal materials, meaning that audio signals are transmitted faster and more accurately. At the same time, the natural resonance of the gold-covered pure copper conductors will have a positive effect on the sound, resulting in a significantly more refined and realistic feel when listening. Dual Mono-Filament Double / Single Ribbon Spiral Shock One of Nordost’s proudly revolutionary wire-making technologies is the patented process of separating the hard-won 8N (99.999999%) high purity single pure copper gold-plated conductor from the FEP insulating jacket. The conductor will be uniformly surrounded by two pre-twisted wires, so that each conductor is surrounded by an air dielectric. This unique process results in a significant increase in signal transmission speed and helps to enhance the mechanical damping characteristics, making Odin Gold sound unlike any other. Mechanically Tuned Lengths Using sophisticated instrumentation to analyze the natural resonance of conductors, Nordost has created a proprietary formula to determine the optimum length for each Odin Gold series cable based on its geometry and purpose, preventing gaps in time after the conductor is cut, and bringing sound performance to a uniform level. Total Signal Control RF noise and electromagnetic waves are the biggest culprits of signal degradation in the audio field. With American Music Ribbon Nordost’s unique Total Signal Control technology, each Odin Gold conductor will be wrapped in a unique, complex and evenly spaced gold-plated ribbon shield, combined with patented HOLO:PLUG® connectors to provide 100% total shielding coverage, ensuring that the smallest details, the proper positioning and sound of each instrument, are complete transmission. HOLO:PLUG® Connectors American Music Ribbon Nordost’s patented lightweight gold-plated HOLO:PLUG® connection terminals were created to fully match the internal geometry of different types of wire, so that each conductor can enjoy a seamless connection. The conductive components used in HOLO:PLUG® are carefully pre-plated before assembly to create the best possible interface between conductor and device.

BC150 SPEAKER For Reference Line The Burmester loudspeaker model BC150 translates the leaps in innovation in sound quality, technology and design from the Signature Line into a more compact design.
With the BC150 loudspeaker model, Burmester has made the leaps in innovation in sound quality, technology and design from the Signature Line possible for another product line. In addition, elements of the BC350 loudspeakers from the Signature Line flowed into the more compact design of the BC150.
IMPRESSIONS
With love for the finest details. The BC150 loudspeaker draws on the characteristic design elements of the Signature Line, but is characterized by its more compact design.
HIGHLIGHTS
Tweeter
The BC150’s two Air-Motion-Transformers (AMT) tweeters in the design contribute significantly to the precision and detail that are distinctive characteristics of Burmester products. The front-located AMT drive unit is derived from the one used in the BC350 flagship and tailored for use in the BC150. Due to the lightweight, large-area foil membrane, which is located in a very powerful magnetic field, the high-frequency reproduction achieves optimum detail and transparency in combination with musical fluidity. The second AMT, located to the rear of the cabinet is adjustable to tailor the spatial depth of the sound stage according to personal preference. Consequently this increases the dispersion of the reproduction and increases the optimal listening area for greater listening flexibility.
Midrange
The midrange speaker of the BC150 uses a new, oval-shaped voice coil, which significantly increases the dimensional stability of the lightweight membrane. Thus, the BC150 is able to deliver excellent detail and tonally neutral music reproduction. By means of the very powerful magnet and the associated excellent mass-drive ratio, the sound image of the BC150 also achieves an impressively high degree of agility and resolution.
Low frequency
The large, side-firing woofer has a diameter of 32 cm and provides an exceptionally powerful, deep yet crisp bass. Again, this unit is also derived from the bass driver used in the flagship BC350 and optimally adapted to the conditions of the BC150. Its long-stroke diaphragm coupled with the powerful drive ensures powerful and immediate bass reproduction with sufficient headroom. The very lowest frequencies are delivered via the flow-optimized, carbon fiber bass reflex port with a very high degree of accuracy.

Remiga 2 is the first model on the market of the new Alare Remiga series. It is a floor standing loudspeaker system no compromise designed.
Bass loading is a carefully shaped transmission line, driven by two custom made woofers, a 10” (250 mm) and an 8” (200 mm) carbon sandwich units. Remiga 2 uses a twin drivers tapered transmission line for an extremely fast, uncolored and distortion free bass.
Midrange is a 7” (170 mm) unit from German Accuton Cell line, with pure ceramic membrane mounted in a volume filled with special aramid fiber wool for nearly perfect sound control.
The 1.2” (30 mm) diamond tweeter is a real technical masterpiece. A thin diamond concave dome is used in order to reach the benefits from the sonic character of this material, speed, detail and extremely wide frequency response.
Remiga 2 cabinet is made from a sandwich of different woods and special damping glue layers, that together perform a very efficient “constrained layer” damping effect. This feature and an internal steel bars cage, virtually kill any vibration of the cabinet.
Special attention has been given also to crossover board design. The best quality components are firmly mounted on a not conductive special board and connected each other with point-to-point technique, by using a silver plated solid core copper wire.

70 years ago Stefan Kudelski created the first portable analog tape recorder, the NAGRA I. In 1972, he filed a patent for an innovative tonearm.
For the 70th anniversary of the Nagra I, we are launching a very ambitious analog playback project. The new NAGRA HD TURNTABLE is designed and precision-built in Switzerland with no compromises. Packed with innovation for smoother movement and isolation that puts you right in the studio with the musicians in a way never experienced before, it is built like a Swiss watch to the most exacting standards. Not only pleasing to the ears, it is also a beautiful object and a testimony to Nagra’s mechanical expertise and dedication to pure sound.
