  • CH Precision D10 Reference Transport

    €96,575

    D10 Reference Transport

    The D10 sets a new standard in optical disc playback, establishing itself as the most advanced transport ever created. Its design draws directly from the D1.5’s critical insights and proven architecture. Expanding on the foundation of its sibling, the D10 redefines every aspect of disc data retrieval, setting a new standard for precision and fidelity.

    A Transport Without Compromise

    At the heart of the D10 is CH Precision’s innovative MORSE (Mechanically Optimized Reading & Stability Enhancement) laser mechanism. Entirely designed and engineered by CH Precision, MORSE sets unparalleled benchmarks in mechanical precision, stability, and data extraction accuracy. Improving upon the single-material design of the D1.5, the D10’s suspended transport platform employs a sophisticated composite construction—an aluminum skin encasing a dense brass core—that significantly enhances vibration-damping properties and overall mechanical robustness. Supported by alpha-gel isolators and weighing an impressive 13 kilograms, over ten times heavier than its predecessor’s mechanism, the MORSE mechanism effectively suppresses vibrations to below 20 Hz, significantly reducing mechanical noise and preserving the integrity of the digital signal.

    Silence. Stability. Sonic Truth.

    Among the many innovations in the D10 is a precision circular level mounted directly on the transport. This critical feature allows for exact calibration of the optical pickup, independent of the chassis, optimizing rotational stability and ensuring precise disc tracking. By addressing this often-overlooked aspect of transport design, CH Precision reveals musical nuance, spatial depth, and temporal accuracy that more conventional solutions leave obscured.

    A motorized top-loading mechanism provides vertical access to the Disc Vault, sealed by a hybrid-action door that reflects the same engineering precision and intent found throughout. Every mechanical choice has been made in service of the music—capturing each disc with absolute accuracy and unlocking a level of resolution, space, and natural expression that redefines what optical playback can achieve.

    The Power Behind Precision

    Like all 10-Series reference components, the D10 Reference Transport utilizes a dedicated external power supply (PSU). Engineered with exceptional current and voltage reserves comparable to many power amplifiers, the PSU delivers stable, ultra-clean power to the transport mechanism, minimizing noise and preserving digital signal integrity.

    Four galvanically isolated domains independently supply the transport motor, control, DSP, and master clock, eliminating crosstalk and ensuring pristine electrical conditions. Cascaded regulation throughout guarantees consistently clean, stable current to every subsystem. With a total mass of 66 kg (145 lbs) including the power supply, the D10 firmly establishes itself as the ultimate heavyweight in digital reproduction.

    CH Precision’s unwavering dedication to engineering integrity guarantees precise, flawless data retrieval from SACD, CD, and MQA CD optical discs. Laser tracking accuracy is maximized, read errors are minimized, and time-domain integrity is preserved. The sonic result is profound musicality: enhanced transparency, expanded soundstage depth, greater low-level detail, and authentic timing and flow, revealing the emotional depth and nuance of every recording.

  • LINN Klimax Solo 500

    £23,500

    We have maximised the potential of every cubic millimetre within Klimax Solo 500’s machined-from-solid enclosure to create an amp that is an improvement over its legendary predecessor in every conceivable way – one that, crucially, still boasts a compact form factor.

    Solo 500 performs optimally from the moment it’s powered on for the first time, and throughout its long lifespan; an amplifier that can be driven hard for protracted listening sessions of wildly dynamic material, and yet remain silently cool; an amplifier with huge available power, devastatingly low noise floor, and eighty-five times lower distortion measurements than its predecessor. Solo 500 is a small amp, with big credentials.

    Hybrid Cooling Matrix

    Klimax Solo 500 features a brand-new thermal management system—a hybrid cooling matrix—which ensures that the amplifier remains cool and whisper-quiet at all times. During everyday use, a hard-anodised thermal plate deep mounted deep within the amp draws heat away from the internal electronics. This plate is bedecked with a series of precision-machined fins—designed and optimised with the aid of simulation software—forming a labyrinthine network of precisely measured channels. This efficient system radiates heat up and out of the amp’s casework.

    When Solo 500 is pushed hard for protracted listening sessions, the hybrid cooling matrix gets really clever. Solo 500 switches to active cooling by way of two internal fans which force cool air between the fins atop the thermal plate. Controlled by an FPGA processor in real-time, the required fan speed is determined by a combination of the amp’s internal temperature and the audio signal. This ensures that the fans run inaudibly, at the lowest speed possible, whilst providing ample cooling to maintain ideal performance, listener experience, and efficiency.

    Adaptive Bias Control

    Adaptive Bias Control is a key factor in Klimax Solo 500’s devastatingly low noise floor. As a result of its implementation, Solo 500 measures eighty-five times lower total harmonic distortion and noise than its predecessor under typical listening conditions.

    Solo 500 persistently measures and adjusts bias current at its output to be ideal at all times; at any temperature, regardless of volume or sudden dynamic changes in the music signal it receives, and for the entirety of its long life. Crucially, this means that Solo 500 will perform identically to its neighbours, thus ensuring flawless and consistently balanced performance between all amplification in the system — permanently.

    Design & Build

    Solo 500’s overall aspect is one of minimalist and sophisticated beauty. Upon closer inspection, its machined-from-solid casework is punctuated by finely designed and characterful details.

    With a seamless construction composed exclusively of three aluminium pieces—baseplate, enclosure and rear panel—Solo 500 gives the impression of a congruous whole aluminium mass.

    A variable fillet cut in the aluminium grows towards a chamfered edge and eye-catching centrepiece; a back-lit Linn badge in the centre of a miniature roundel, with radial-grooved chrome trim and a steel outer ring. The badge assembly has depth; reflecting light dynamically when viewed from different positions. Each amp in the system will reflect light and create its own shadows, contributing to Solo 500’s characterful statement aesthetic

    With Solo 500, our latest top-tier innovations powerfully coalesce into the best compact monoblock amplifier we have ever made. The synergistic combination of Adaptive Bias Control, sophisticated hybrid cooling matrix with intelligent fan management, and Utopik power supply, results in a Class AB amplifier that is far greater than the sum of its parts, yet remarkably smaller than its counterparts. We’ve expertly miniaturised and arranged our flagship amplifier and power supply technologies inside its sleek and minimalist casework. Its neat size lends itself particularly well to active setups and scenarios where space is at a premium.

  • dCS Varèse SACD/CD Transport

  • WilsonAudio Sabrina V

    Materials

    Sabrina V pioneers a groundbreaking addition to the Wilson Audio materials library: H-Material. Developed as a high-density composite with organic and phenolic properties, this front baffle advancement sets a new benchmark in performance engineering. H-Material is similar to X-Material in inflexibility, yet slightly softer with different construction, which lends itself to be more musical in the mid-range than SabrinaX with its use of X-Material as a baffle substrate

    Drivers

    At the heart of the Sabrina V lies a symphony of advanced driver technologies shared with Wilson Audio’s most celebrated flagships. The Convergent Synergy Carbon (CSC) tweeter, originally developed for the Alexx V, delivers an astonishingly natural high-frequency response. This lightly coated textile dome tweeter seamlessly blends with the AlNiCo mid-range and 8-inch woofer. The CSC offers extended linearity, refined harmonic detail, and a natural sense of acoustic space.

    Wilson Audio has integrated its beloved 7-inch AlNiCo (Aluminum – Nickel – Cobalt) QuadraMag mid-range driver into its smallest floorstanding loudspeaker, the Sabrina V. Originally, it was developed for the Chronosonic XVX and utilized in the Alexx V, Alexia V, Sasha V, and The WATT/Puppy. The AlNiCo QuadraMag driver is renowned for its exceptional ability to settle and maintain linearity resulting in greater depth and dimensionality.

    The same 8” woofer used in the Sasha V and The WATT/Puppy anchors the low frequencies and foundation of the Sabrina V system. This driver is specifically chosen for its agility and authority resulting in bass that is articulate, textured, and intimately tied to the rhythm of the music.

    Hardware & Resistor Access

    Refining the rear bass port dimensions and the mid-range vent geometry has revealed deeper, more natural low frequencies while filling your room with warmth and soundstage dimension.

    New rear-panel resistor access simplifies service and tuning— a welcome shift from the previous Sabrina bottom-mount approach. Resistors are secured with high quality tool-less thumbscrews, which makes tweeter and mid-range resistor changes swift and intuitive. This new access point on the back of the enclosure is accentuated with a beautifully machined aluminum frame with the Sabrina V logo.

    V-MCD

    Taking a page from the Wilson Audio Acoustic Diode design, V-Material has been nested and integrated into the bottom of the Sabrina V enclosure where the spike diode interfaces. This upgraded isolation technology (V-MCD) and enhanced vibration control provide an even quieter background, letting your favorite recordings unfold effortlessly. This is music reproduction at its finest — it feels deeper and more alive. If there are room related issues with vibration management, Sabrina V’s spike thread size enables an easy and direct upgrade path to Wilson Audio Acoustic Diodes if one wishes to further enhance the isolation in their system.

    YG Acousticsにとって、オーディオ再生の可能性を飽くことなく追求し続けることが、常に私たちの最大のインスピレーションとなっています。ケンブリッジR&Dセンターのチームは、日々、情熱と創意工夫を注ぎ込み、その限界を押し広げています。当研究所は、世界最先端の音響・振動測定設備を備えています。最先端のシミュレーション技術と、人間の耳が音楽をどのように知覚するかに関する5年間にわたる詳細な研究を駆使することで、私たちはこれまで以上に迅速かつ徹底的に、新しいアイデアや技術を探求することができます。

    YG Acousticsの新しいUltimateシリーズは、この飽くなき精神を体現しています。3年間の開発期間を経て、YG Acousticsがこれまでに生み出した中で最も野心的なスピーカー、Geminiを誇りを持って発表します。Geminiは、私たちの共通のビジョンを体現するものであり、最新のイノベーションを披露するだけでなく、リスナーと音楽との深い繋がりを実現し、期待を超え、真の感動に満ちた体験を生み出すことを目指して設計されています。

    高さ2メートルを超えるGeminiスピーカーは、精密に配置された7基のドライバーを対称アレイ状に搭載し、カスタム設計のサブベースドライバーがそれを支えています。

    革新的なラティスツイーターは、15cmミッドレンジ、18cmミッドレンジ、26cmベースドライバーによって上下にそれぞれペアで配置されています。シミュレーションと試聴により、このような緻密に設計された対称配置の並外れたメリットが実証されました。各ドライバーは、広範囲の周波数帯域にわたって隣接するドライバーと緻密に位相調整されており、真のポイントソースリスニング体験を実現します。

    このアプローチにより、卓越した音の明瞭性、リアルな音像定位、そして非常に柔軟なリスニングエリアが実現し、ささやくような静寂からコンサートホールの大音量まで、音楽の中心にしっかりと身を置くことができます。

    Geminiキャビネットは、細部へのこだわりを体現しています。厳選されたアルミニウム合金を3層に重ね、各層を精密に設計されたダンピング材で分離することで、卓越した剛性と共振制御を実現しています。 フロントフェイスプレートは、航空宇宙グレードのアルミニウムから削り出され、結晶構造を最適化する熱処理を施した後、1000分の1ミリメートル単位の精度で精密に加工されています。内部では、高度な補強材と戦略的に配置された拡散板/吸収板により不要な反射が排除され、ドライバーが完璧に機能することを実現しています。

    当社のクロスオーバー設計は、スピーカーエンジニアリングの技術と科学の真髄を体現しています。入手可能な最高のコンポーネントを駆使し、高度な誘電特性と内部共振減衰を備えた特注の多層PCB素材上に構築されています。各クロスオーバー回路は、極厚の高純度銅から社内で精密に加工され、シミュレーションによって最適化されたトレースにより、干渉と歪みを排除しています。クロスオーバー本体は、厳選されたポリマー素材のみで作られたエレガントな筐体に収められており、クロスオーバー信号への電界干渉を排除しています。

    技術的な卓越性はさておき、Geminiの真価は、聴く人の心に深く響くことにあります。 あらゆるイノベーション、精密な加工工程、厳選された部品。これらはすべて、より重要な目的、つまり想像しうる最も純粋で没入感のある音楽体験を実現するための手段に過ぎません。

    Geminiには3つの異なるバージョンがあります。

    Gemini Passive:外部クロスオーバーを備えた完全パッシブ5ウェイ、8ドライバー構成。タワーごとに1~5チャンネルの増幅チャンネルに対応します。

    Gemini Sub:完全パッシブ4ウェイシステムと、サブベース周波数専用の外部1kWアンプを組み合わせ、パッシブドライバーとシームレスに融合するよう位相と時間を調整。タワーごとに1~4チャンネルの増幅チャンネルに対応します。

    Gemini Live:完全統合型オーディオソリューション。各チャンネルにはオーディオファイルグレードの外部アンプと高度なDSPクロスオーバーが搭載され、すべてグラスファイバーでLiveコントローラーに接続されます。Roon対応ストリーミングに加え、包括的なデジタルおよびアナログ接続を提供します。

    YG Acousticsにとって、Geminiは単なるスピーカーではありません。 それは、音楽とエンジニアリングの卓越性に対する私たちの情熱の心からの表現であり、革新とたゆまぬ努力が出会ったときに何が達成できるかを示すベンチマークです。
