Welcome to the November 2009 edition of the highend-electronics Newsletter! The big news is that we'll be exhibiting at the T.H.E. Show 2010. This show will take place from January 7th-10th 2010 at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. More about this exciting event in the next newsletter.
The Consensus Conspiracy won another award!
After the "Most Wanted Component Award 2006" from StereoTimes and the rave review on Positive Feedback Online in
issue 43, May 2009, our Consensus Conspiracy loudspeakers won the
"Select Component Award" in Oct. 2009 on UltraAudio.com.
Reviewed by Albert Bellg (www.ultraaudio.com)
"...I sat transfixed in my listening chair a long while, impressed with the levels of detail and transparency these speakers conveyed"
"Furthermore, this was one of the few speakers I’ve heard that created those qualities without compromising the richness of the sound and making music sound thin. I got lost in the depths of some of my favorite CDs, hearing more in the music than I’d ever heard..."
"...the bass reproduction of the Conspiracy went deeper than any I’d heard in my system, and I have no problem believing that their claimed low-frequency limit of 18Hz is accurate"
"The outstanding achievement of Consensus is that, in the Conspiracy, they have found a way to get the engineering and the music right... the Conspiracy enables the music to move the listener in all the ways a listener should be moved"

the synergy between the Valvet and Conspiracy to be that rare blend of speed, dynamics and intense musicality which is hardly a
common occurrence"
The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2009 in Denver was very successful. We received many offers to review our Consensus speakers, VALVET
amplifiers and Silencables.
VALVET soulshine®
VALVET's top-of-the-line soulshine® tube pre-amp with separate power supply is now also available with a very special volume control for a surcharge $450.00.
This state-of-the-art 48-step switch is built from almost 200 of only the finest Vishay resistors in ladder configuration. There is always only one voltage divider in the signal path and it is not switchable with remote control.
This switch is a piece of art and one of the best volume controls available on the entire market. It improves the outstanding performance of
the soulshine® even further.
Audio Magic The Q
We have a special sale throughout November - 10% off of any Audio Magic product you order!
Most line conditioners work by placing transformers or chokes in the signal path. These filtering methods act to slow transient response while limiting current resulting in a muddying of low frequencies.
Audio Magic conditioners are different in their design. All incorporated components and parts works outside of the signal path to condition alternating current and that's the reason it can deliver unlimited current even for the most demanding power amps without limiting dynamics and transient response.
The Q is the new entry level purifier and
giving the end user high-end performance at an introductory price ($1200.00).
Kemp Elektroniks SNS Plug
The Kemp SNS PLUG is a unique product on the market. It's a shunt device and provides a cleaner and thus better mains power by removing the noise. It consists of 3 resistors, 7 capacitors, 3 varistors and an inductor in a potted plug which can be plugged in anywhere in the house.The result of the SNS PLUG is a lower noise floor, higher definition, a wider & deeper soundstage, better resolution of lower frequencies and less treble harshness with more detail. The dynamic performance will be better too. You will hear the improvement immediately.
The Kemp SNS Plug is a best seller in Europe (over 8000 pcs sold) and is finally available in the US for the price of $195.00.
