We were officially not there: Bologna

On the 14th April, we participated to a private HiFi United dealer and distributor event in Bologna. The private event has been organized by Octave and Blumenhofer Acoustics and was aimed at showing off their products to the italian dealers. We were just a tool that has been used because Blumenhofer invited us to support his event. There we had the possibility to test our products in this challenging environment. As usual the look of the Genuin FS 2 polarized, but it was a great sound. As usual our products and most of all our Power Harmonizer contributed considerably to the overall result.

The chain playing was composed as follows:
- 40 years old Technics turntable in Blumenhofer Acoustics plint
-
Octave Phonomodule
-
Octave HP 500 SE preamplifier
-
Octave MRE 220 mono amplifier
-
Exposure CD Player
- and Blumenhofer's
Genuin FS 2

Well... I know that it can play much better, but it was great!!
Here the pictures about the event.

40 years of Pluto turntables at Audio 21

When I asked Marco, our distributor for Netherlands, he spread enthusiasm about the results of the show at Audio 21. These are, more or less, his words:

The show went great! Lots of visitors, great sound, even AJ (van den Hul) participated personally. René van Es took the pictures (now in the gallery) and will write a show report of the day.
It was the first show ever worldwide with 4
Pluto turntables. We played with the Gran Gioia's and the Genuin FS 2's and for the first time with a complete van den Hul amplification set-up!
All the Plutos played with the new Crimson cartridge from van den Hul.


You can read a report on the event written by René van Es on the pages of Puresound.be page

This is the setup:
- Blumenhofer Gran Gioia
- Pluto 10A turntable
- 9a Pluto tonearm (Cammino wired)
- van den Hul Crimson card
- VdH Grail SB (Holy Grail) phono preamp.

Yes You read well, this is the first official appearance of a Cammino tonearm dedicated Cable: the start of a business relationship.
