|Slowly we are getting back into the right rhythm, even though there will be three award giving ceremonies for the Statements in High Fidelity this year: My colleague Wojciech Pacuła and I could hand out the German Edition as planned during the High End and for the Polish Edition a table is already reserved in a restaurant in Warsaw.
And it is for our guests Gabi and Edwin Rynveld and Morton Kim Nielsen. Wojciech Pacuła, obviously a big fan of Dutch noble cables, gave the award to Crystal Cable's Da Vinci series after testing the unbalanced interconnect, the speaker and the power cables. Here are just a few of his arguments for his choice: „The color of the interconnect is creamy and characterized by deep saturation. And yet, the highs here are strong, sonorous and have high energy. Most importantly, however, these are cables with incredible dynamics. They are also stunningly fast and precise. Besides, they have a slightly rounded creamy attack. It's a remarkable combination that makes the da Vinci by Crystal Cable both a "working tool" and an "instrument of delight". … Planes behind the line connecting the speakers are wonderfully built, thanks to which the stereophony is wide and quite deep. However, it's smooth stereophony, without focusing our attention on individual elements, but rather building a sort of a "background" for what's happening in the foreground.“
Morton Kim Nielsen is the marketing director of the Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Raidho. Among other things, he demonstrated the X1t at this year's High End, which made a lasting impression not only on Roland Dietl and me during a demonstration. Helmut Baumgartner, who even during his photo marathon on the first day of the fair always has an open ear for particularly good sounding things, suggested to Roland Dietl that he order the X1t for a test, which he rejected - but only because he had already ordered a pair for hifistatement.net directly after the demonstration. Later Roland Dietl wrote: „For me, the outstanding feature of the X1t is its exceptionally high intelligibility of human voices, which establishes a special bond with the listener. This commences with the fact that the X1t carves out the characteristic features of each individual voice with captivating clarity. … In addition to the excellent tonal qualities, the sound is completely detached from the speakers at any time and has a great spatial depth that goes far beyond what one would generally expect from such a small transducer. … Don't let the size fool you: The Raidho X1t is a true and superbly sounding high-end speaker. The rendering of human voices is simply stunning.“ If everything works out as planned, the Statements in High Fidelity | Polish Edition 2022 will be on display in the award winners' showrooms at the upcoming Audio Video Show in Warsaw as early as Friday.
Congratulations to the award winners!

Interview mit Jean-Pascal Panchard – Teil 2
Nach den Ausführungen zu seinem beruflichen Werdegang und einigen Stenheim-Modellen in Teil eins wird Jean-Pascal Panchard auch hier noch über das ein oder andere Modell aus dem Portfolio sprechen, bevor er Fragen zur internationalen Aufstellung der Firma, dem Audio-Club und seinen Lieblings-Medien für Tests und den privaten Hörgenuss beantwortet. Als Jean-Pascal Panchard Stenheim erwarb, hatte man lediglich die Alumine Two mit der optional zu ergänzenden Basssektion im Angebot. Um der Marke internationale Beachtung zu verschaffen,…25.11.2024 -
Interview mit Jean-Pascal Panchard – Teil 1
Als ich im Juli darTZeel in der Nähe von Genf besuchte, machte ich auch einen Abstecher nach Vetroz, wo Jean-Pascal Panchards Lautsprecher-Manufaktur Stenheim beheimatet ist. Vor mehr als sieben Jahren hatte mich seine Alumine Five in meinem Hörraum begeistert. Für Anfang nächsten Jahres ist die ausgiebige Beschäftigung mit der Five SX geplant. Natürlich war ich neugierig darauf zu sehen, wie groß die Fertigungstiefe bei Stenheim ist: Zwar werden die Chassis zugekauft, aber von den Herstellern…21.11.2024 -
Statements in High Fidelity | Polish Edition 2024
Wenn es um die Statements in High Fidelity geht, teilen Wojciech Pacuła und ich uns die Arbeit. Es hat sich eingespielt, wer die Ankündigung in seiner Sprache und dann die englische Übersetzung formuliert, wer die Einladung für die Gewinner schreibt und wer die Preise in Auftrag gibt. Den Bericht über die Feier verfasst traditionell mein Kollege: „Diesmal gingen die Preise an Jark Waszczyszyn für seinen CD-Player Ancient Audio Lektor Joy und an MSB Technology, in…04.11.2024

Statements in High Fidelity | Polish Edition 2024
Das Magazin meines Kollegen Wojciech Pacuła, highfidelity.pl, und hifistatement.net zeichnen zu den Messen in München und in Warschau schon traditionell jeweils eine Komponente aus, die uns im vorausgehenden Halbjahr begeisterte. Im Mai hätten wir fast versäumt, die Preisträger vor der High End zu nennen, diesmal sind wir lieber etwas früher dran. Bei der Bekanntgabe der Gewinner für die Deutsche Ausgabe der Awards konnten Sie an dieser Stelle lesen: „Wojciech Pacuła kann es einfach nicht lassen.…30.09.2024 -
Interview with Monsieur Delétraz aka darTZeel – part 2
A week ago, the focus here was on the professional career of the darTZeel founder and the circuitry features of his patented output stage. This week, we will discuss the company's employees, upcoming new devices, the special darTZeel 50-Ohm connection and Hervé Delétraz's musical preferences. Dirk Sommer: Since when have you been able to make a living from your hi-fi company? Hervé Delétraz: Only very recently! From about 2010, it took quite a long time…27.09.2024 -
Interview with Monsieur Delétraz aka darTZeel – part 1
Even before the High End, I had planned to review darTZeel's NHB-18S and NHB-108 pre/end amplifier combination. In the showroom, I asked company founder Hervé Delétraz about the technical details of his creations. He suggested that we talk about it in detail at the company headquarters and in his private listening room near Geneva. In the first half of July, the time had come: we visited darTZeel in Plan-les-Ouates. The company is based there in…20.09.2024
