Der besuchte heuer erstmalig die High End, hat eine fantastisch klingende Anlage zuhause, ist aber dennoch auf der Suche nach besseren Lautsprechern.

Dass sich auf dieser Messe das weltweite Fachpublikum einfindet, hat die High End zur bedeutendsten Ausstellung der Audio-Branche etabliert. Aber ist sie auch in der Lage, den suchenden Endverbraucher zufriedenzustellen? Seine Suche blieb nicht ohne Erfolg. Allerdings sprengen die Traum-Lautsprecher das aktuelle Budget. Das ist aber nicht tragisch.

Auch dies ist eine lohnende Erfahrung. Die Ausstellerzahl ist weiter um 4 Prozent auf gestiegen. Da diesmal der erste Tag, der den Fachbesuchern vorbehalten ist, nicht wie sonst auf Christi Himmelfahrt fiel, ist dies umso bemerkenswerter. Am Ende stand bei der Gesamtbesucherzahl ein Plus von 10 Prozent auf exakt Die Medienvertreter und Aussteller sind in diesen Zahlen noch gar nicht enthalten. Anyone who has ever looked into the hi-fi world in a little bit more intensive way knows that the arbitrary combination of well-reputed audio components does not necessarily lead to a guaranteed musical enjoyment.

In the field of high-end audio, only very few manufacturers offer complete solutions—mainly those featuring a digital source. To my knowledge, Einstein is the only laudable analogue exception. However, I do not want to anticipate: The analogue turntable, of which prototypes have been shown at trade fairs for years, is still awaiting its debut, which—probably—will happen at the end of this year. But even without it, the rich portfolio of the Bochum-based Einstein manufactory offers you even such alleged trivialities like cables or power bars.

But before I continue to speculate about the turntable's future or write about my experience with Einstein's—almost—complete audio system, let me briefly look into the past. Volker Bohlmeier, whom I got to know in Bochum in his first hi-fi store—in his second store, by the way, back when I jobbed during my student days—founded Einstein Audio almost 30 years ago. The first product was visually eye-catching as well as felicitous solid-state amplifier, whose circuitry concept had been developed by Rolf Weiler. Over the decades, this cooperation has proven to be a good one: Up to these days, Rolf Weiler still makes sure that Einstein's electronic components are always characterized by innovative technical solutions.

A good example is the preamp's input selector, which avoids relays or switches in the signal path. For some time, the interior designer Annette Heiss has been responsible for Einstein's distinctive appearance. The team in Bochum is complemented by electronic engineer Uwe Gespers and radio and television master craftsman Rolf Wittig. To celebrate the decadal company anniversary in , I planned a visit to the former mine building in Bochum. The excellent balanced phono stage The Turntable's Choice I tested way back at the beginning of , and acquired it shortly thereafter.

Since then, a phono preamplifier for me has to be balanced. Up to now I haven't heard anything better at this price. Since the testing of the semi-active loudspeaker system Maestro GSE from AudioMachina has been carried out to which project Volker Bohlmeier, in his function as distributor of the American manufacturer of premium aluminum speakers, had also brought along his preamp to join the other components , I would not want to miss this one in my audio chain.

I had already publicly acknowledged the quality of the Einstein, upon the urging of colleague Wojciech Pacula in his review on Einstein's The Preamp and The Silver Bullet. Some indication of how good The Pickup sounds can be found by going to our sound library. I am already familiar with the cartridge, the phono, and the preamp. The chain is completed by the tonearm named—you surely will have guessed its name—The Tonearm, with the OTL mono amplifiers, The Silver Bullet, and the semi-active three-way loudspeakers, The Pure.

The latter were introduced during last year's High End show and are now available. Regarding the tonearm, we got one of the first available copies. That's why I have decided to take only a brief look on the already known components, but review the tonearm and speakers a little more in detail. From this consideration up to the question whether Rolf Weiler or Volker Bohlmeier are well versed in all kinds of component types, it's not that far. Rolf Weiler is a well-known electronics specialist well beyond the hi-fi sector, and has also gained a vast experience with analogue turntables.

But for the development of The Pickup cartridge, Volker Bohlmeier relied on the experience of an external specialist. In cooperation with Leif Johannson, who replaced Per Windfeld as chief designer at Ortofon, he has put his very specific sound concept into practice. If the EMT derivatives TU-2 and TU-3 were primarily driven by dynamics, the Pickup would have liked to have a little bit more of that plus a higher resolution, a broader spatial imaging, and better fine detail.

Dynamics and the greatest possible proximity to the live experience have always been the first priority for Volker Bohlmeier. Components with an appealing smooth sound character weren't his cup of tea 35 years ago, and still aren't up to now. The reason for his choice of a classic nine-inch tonearm did not really surprise me: In all the testing it has been clearly superior in terms of the joy of playing and vibrancy, compared to the 10 and The twelve-inch version, which will be presented at the High End, exudes a great sovereignty, but when the passionate guitarist and guitar collector has the choice between sovereignty and dynamics, he doesn't have to think for too long for which one to go—and that's why the nine-inch has become part of the complete system.

By the way, the arm is manufactured in Japan by one of the most experienced specialists: Ishiama san not only builds them, but also has built the arms for Ikeda and Fidelity Research. In the case of Einstein's The Tonearm, he uses a straight tube for the first time. At first glance, the tube is entirely made out of stainless steel.

After having performed a series of experiments with steel, aluminum and carbon tubes, eventually a stainless steel-aluminum sandwich was chosen, with the inner aluminum tube being full-face glued to the outer steel tube to optimize the resonance behaviour of the arm. The Tonearm comes up with a very complex bearing: Relatively large ball bearings are mounted to a solid bearing block, which has been designed to ensure a quiet, extremely resonance-free and precise operation. As with arms deriving from Japanese tradition, the Einstein also comes with a detachable headshell, allowing the adjustment of the azimuth after loosening two Allen screws.

Fortunately, Volker Bohlmeier and Ishiama san paid particular attention to the alleged weak spot: Instead of using the usual single guide pin for defining the position of the headshell in the arm, two are used here instead. In addition, rhodium contacts are used for signal transmission, which are located in a Teflon cylinder specially made for this arm.

After roughly adjusting the height of the arm, the extremely solid, mechanically fascinating base allows the fine adjustment of the VTA via a lever—as it used to be with the Micro Seiki. The effective mass of Since Einstein — as already mentioned—also offers high-quality cables, it was no problem to get balanced cabling for The Tonearm. The Pickup's unusually thin connector pins—at that time my only point of criticism of this so vividly and homogeneously performing cartridge—are no longer a problem if you are a proud owner of an Einstein tonearm: When asked, Volker Bohlmeier emphasizes that he has developed the arm using a variety of different cartridges, but it appears to me that The Tonearm and The Pickup are made for each other.

But in the Einstein arm, The Pickup inspired with a slightly larger room imaging, seeming even more impulsive and enthusiastic. The simplest explanation for this is that the Einstein pickup with its five grams higher effective mass helps the tonearm to put its sonic qualities in the right perspective.

Perhaps another arm in The Tonearm's weight class could bring the cartridge to similar great heights. Be that as it may, this combination of tonearm and cartridge created in a German-Japanese-Danish cooperation runs up to an even higher sound level than The Pickup is able to in one of my own tonearms. I am already looking forward to work with Einstein's forthcoming twelve-incher.

I hope you do not take my meanderings amiss: Even if I intended to describe the Einstein chain as a whole, I not always can resist the opportunity to occasionally listen to previously unknown components in my familiar environment. But from now on I will defy the temptation to write about it. The gain of the balanced phono preamp is not variable and is designed to match the output voltage of MC cartridges.

Due to the excellent signal-to-noise ratio and the very high overload stability, it furthermore harmonizes equally well with MCs with very low or even high output voltage. Even if the two tubes, each equipped with two circuit boards, are fed by external power supplies, care should be taken regarding their positioning in the system.

In the vicinity of strong power transformers they do not feel themselves particularly comfortable, which they acknowledge with a slight hum. It really would be a pity to cut down its outstanding signal-to-noise ratio and the thereof resulting dynamic and detail resolution abilities through a negligent placement. If one pays TTC the attention it deserves, then it enchants with a pitch-black background, before which its sonic abilities are revealed to be all the more radiant. Because even the finest room information doesn't get lost in the noise floor, one feels transferred into large, airy recording spaces, and enjoys an abundance of detail that is well-integrated into the musical flow.

The enthusiasm of the musicians captivates—assuming, of course, the corresponding recording—and let's instantly forget all the hi-fi criteria.

Oh yes, I intended to restrain myself from offering further sound descriptions, but I know and appreciate the TTC for over a decade now, so you should somewhat forgive me my effusiveness Further on, the signal runs from the TTC to the preamp in solely balanced mode as well, as The Preamp has two balanced to go with its three RCA inputs. The inputs are each directly connected to a twin triode, which also serves as an input selector switch.

The control knob on the front panel switches on the heating of the corresponding tube: The selection of inputs works without a switch or relay in the signal path. Facing so much purism, it is no longer surprising that Rolf Weiler also realized a volume control in which the potentiometer doesn't also lay in the signal path. I prefer listening to music instead. In the second part of this review, we will discuss the OTLs briefly, the new loudspeaker system The Pure in greater detail and, eventually, the sound of the chain in full.

Diese digitale Schnittstelle ist relativ selten anzutreffen. Es gibt weit mehr und zunehmend Hersteller, die diese Schnittstelle anbieten. Sie seien besser abgeschirmt. Es wird nicht einheitlich angewandt. Generell ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass es funktioniert, aber hoch. Sollten Sie an Ihrem Wandler eine derartige Schnittstelle besitzen, lohnt es, ihr Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen. Dies ist ihnen gelungen. So, wie sich der Mano jetzt gibt, ist er jedermanns Aufmerksamkeit wert. Denn er kann eine Menge und kostet in der Grundversion gerade einmal Euro. Wenn diese offeriert wird, sollte sie wohl klanglich von Vorteil sein.

Also hat unser Test-Exemplar eine goldene Furutech-Sicherung. Insgesamt kostet der zum Test bestens ausgestattete Mano nun genau ,50 Euro. Magna-Hifi lieferte mir den Mano mit dieser Software aus. Sie signalisiert, dass der Mano spielbereit ist. So ist recht schnelles Umschalten zum Vergleichen kein Problem. Ich brauche nur den Eingang am DAC zu wechseln. Dazu trieb mich schon meine Neugierde. Denn ich mache hier auch meine erste Erfahrung in meiner heimischen Anlage mit dieser Schnittstelle.

Im Vergleich spielen Mac Mini und Reclocker etwas ruhiger und voller. Die Streicher erfreuen durch ihren Glanz. Die Akkuratesse des Mano ist bestechend. Das entpuppt sich als Irrtum. Der Mano hat aber die Nase dennoch vorn, da er mit seinem Talent, fein zu sezieren, die Instrumentierung noch sauberer ausarbeitet. Mit der ihm eigenen Spielfreude schafft er es, die Musik packend zu inszenieren.

Wenn auch nicht ganz so exakt, bleibt dennoch die dynamische Lebendigkeit in Kombination mit bestechender Durchsichtigkeit. Dar Mano spendiert dem Oldie, was ihm ein wenig zu fehlen scheint: Dass der Streamer aus Alkmaar zu derartig gutem Klang in der Lage ist, liegt selbstredend an seinen inneren Werten.

Seine technische Basis ist ein Raspberry Pi 3B. Dessen Stromversorgung erfolgt separat von der digitalen Audio-Schaltung. Der im japanischen Aktienindex Nikkei gelistete Weltkonzern Pioneer baut schon seit Lautsprecher. Bei der Fertigung von vaporisiertem Beryllium hat man sogar ein echtes Alleinstellungsmerkmal, denn weltweit gibt es hierzu eine einzige Maschine und die steht bei TAD Labs in Japan. Allerdings ist das Ausgangsmaterial auch extrem teuer und schwierig zu bearbeiten. Ihre wohlgeformten Rundungen setzt sie aber gekonnt in Szene.

While working on Einstein's complete audio system with its laudable analogue source, in Part 1 of this review we had traveled from cartridge to tone arm, and from there to phono stage and preamp.

Following up on that we will now take care of power amps and the semi-active speaker system, The Pure -— and, of course, the sound. However, due to winding capacitances, leakage inductances, etc. Sometimes the results will be more, sometimes less, according to the manufacturing efforts undertaken. In addition, this will, of course, entail considerable costs, when suitably designed. But, what would happen if we simply omitted the output transformer?

Julius Futterman came up with this idea as early as in the beginning of the s, and presented the first commercial output transformer less OTL amplifier about 30 years later. This amplifier had two characteristic features: In later designs from other manufacturers, up to 20 tubes could be found, which then at the same time spares the central heating effect in winter.

The purpose of this measure was, of course, to lower the output resistance, since the output transformer was missing. The direct coupling of the loudspeaker to the power tubes promised an improvement of the impulse response and a more accurate imaging of the waveform. Nevertheless, it's not that easy to use a tube without a transformer to drive an eight ohm load. I'm choosing my words every carefully here. The standard design of an OTL circuit in the s was the so-called single-ended push-pull circuit, which, however, had a drawback: The output signal was simultaneously generated from the cathode of the one tube and the anode of the other tube.

In addition to some variants of this circuit, there is a simple modification that compensates for this asymmetry, and was launched by Electro Voice: With this modification, both tubes behave in the same manner. Using two 6C33C in parallel—as in The Silver Bullet—an output impedance of approximately 10 to 15 Ohm can be achieved; with several of them connected in parallel, it could be even further reduced.

Circlotron amplifiers always require a balanced input signal, and the drivers should be able to drive higher capacities, depending on how many tubes are connected in parallel. One disadvantage of this circuit is that two power supplies are required per channel, which then have to work in a floating manner, that is, without mass reference, otherwise the whole concept doesn't work.

Park at the far end of the parking lot. My takeaway from this project is that flask is great for building apps that need a lot of flexibility for use cases that fall outside the norm like a graph like datastore built in postgres. My advice is to steer clear of packages that are very opinionated and do a lot of stuff like flask restplus. They are easy to get started with, but you quickly find yourself fighting against their apis once you need that flasky flexibility.
