J.C.Verdier TT

JC Verdier TT

New turntable from J.C. Verdier – “La Nouvelle Platine”. This turntable rotates silently, resting on an oil bath! There is a pump that continuously maintains the oil pressure at the top of the axle. The oil act as a lubricant where the weight of the turntable rests on. Interesting design!

Mordaunt Short

Mordaunt Short – Aviano series loudspeakers.

Epsilon Planet L

Epsilon Planet L speakers – a coaxial 2-way design with 25mm silk dome tweeter and a 165mm treated paper-cone mid/woofer. It has frequency response of 48Hz to 20kHz with 90dB/w/m sensitivity. I always like coaxial speakers due to the coherent sound produced by point-source speakers. Tannoy is another manufacture that comes into my mind. Too bad the positioning and tuning were not optimized for critical listening in KLIAV 2011…
