Audiomat - Integrated Amplifiers, DAC's, Phono Pre-amplifiers - www.mutine.com
So musical and natural it draws its owner right into the music, so user friendly and easy to maintain that the technique disappears, and so reliable that it can be passed on to the children and to the grand children.
Duevel - Loudspeakers from Germany - www.mutine.com
We are happy to welcome in Canada Duevel and their omni-directional loudspeakers, the Planets, Venus and Bella Luna Diamante. The absence of a sweet spot is very relaxing, and the most appropriate description of the Duevel sound is: visceral and... addictive.
Atlantis - Loudspeakers - www.mutine.com
"They are a magnificent achievement, one of the best speakers known to us. Verdict: They promise a lot, and they deliver even more." UHF Magazine # 74

Actinote - Power Cables, Interconnects, Speaker Cables - www.mutine.com

C.E.C. - CD Transports, CD Players, Integrated Amplifiers, Headphone Amplifiers - www.mutine.com
"Indeed, the CEC lives up to expectations... The TL-0X is an excellent and rare example of advanced mechanical engineering. It has become an integral member of my soon to be built second system."
Linnman, SixMoon.com
Mimetism - Intergrated Amplifiers, CD Transports - www.mutine.com
"We need hardly repeat that the Mimetism 15.2 is not an ordinary amplifier."

Equation - Loudspeakers - www.mutine.com
"These five-way ceramic speakers seemed to hold their tweeters suspended in front of their cones and were designed to provide an image which could stand on its own, regardless of the listener's location. It was an amazing experience. Did I mention that the quality of the sound was as wonderful as the image? Sweet, natural and finely detailed." Albert Simon, UHF Magazine No. 59
Pluto - Turntables - www.mutine.com
The 12A superbly blended form and function, is built like a tank, and designed to last a lifetime. At high-end shows, rooms using just the Pluto 12A were consistently voted as among the best, and we all know how important the source components are.
Mosquito - Subwoofers - www.mutine.com
Under the former name "Audience Absolute", the Mosquito Absolute subwooofers, upgraded in their new versions D-8 to D-15, have been praised for years and received top honors in the French press.
Transrotor - Turntables - www.axissaudio.com
In a world of microelectronics and computer-controlled components, Transrotor has created a line of sonically pure, aesthetically stunning and intricately assembled turntables that are the equivalent of priceless sculpture. Each piece is visually astonishing, and the ability to collect and diffuse light in a kaleidoscopic array is remarkable.

Lovingly and meticulously hand-crafted, Shelter cartridges are so precise that every nuance and every delicate passage of music is faithfully reproduced at a level that is unmatched in the audio world. Twenty years of painstaking, passionate and meticulous attention to microscopic detail has lead Shelter to the pinnacle of audio perfection.
REGA - Turntables, CD Players, Amplifiers, Loudspeakers - www.rega.co.uk
Rega has introduced a whole new electronic equipment range together with an exciting new range of loudspeakers. It has been very difficult to improve on products like the original Planet CD player and Ela loudspeaker but we feel we have achieved this.
Gallo - Loudspeakers, Subwoofers - www.roundsound.com
"Brass instruments are nearly impossible to get right, but the Gallo's gave new insight into Miles Davis' fiery yet fully formed trumpet and John Coltrane's saxophone's abundant harmonics... Once I had everything dialed-in, the system's spatial coherence was flat-out remarkable... I pushed the system pretty hard and reveled in its power and glory." --Steve Guttenberg, Home Theater Magazine
47 Labs - RS Labs - Phono, Amps, Speakers, CD Transports - www.sakurasystems.com
Small in size, big on sound, and more music than mere audio jewels, 47 Lab distills technology down to its simplest, purest form. And when you listen you’ll know that this path - your path - is the one to follow. Why? Because designer Junji Kimura preserves the life of the music. There are no compromises. No unnecessary flash. No B.S. Just dynamic, unadulterated music.
Radical? Maybe.
Tom Evans Audio Design - Phono Stages, Pre-Amps, Power Supplies - www.audiodesign.co.uk
Importantly, the change wrought by the suite of Tom Evans equipment is not merely an advancement in sound quality -- though it is surely that -- but it also represents the most significant advancement in the reproduction of musical realism that I have encountered short of sitting in with a band.
Graham Slee - Phono Pre-amps, Headphone Amps - www.gspaudio.co.uk
"Were Graham Slee infected with the Pander to the Plutocrat mindset of The High End, he could have easily slapped the Reflex into a 50-lb. box and charged $5000 for it. But that’s not what his company, or the man, is about. Bravo!" Paul Szabady, Stereo Times
Pro-Ject - Turntables, Tonearms, Preamps - www.project-audio.com
Pro-Ject products are the result of an exemplary cooperation within a rapidly uniting Europe. For over fifty years record players have been designed and built at Pro-Ject's manufacturing facility in Litovel, situated to the east of Prague. This plant is one of the most advanced manufacturers of precision mechanics in the country.
Lehmann Audio - Phono Stages, Headphone Amps - www.lehmannaudio.com
...just like live: powerful, fast and gutsy... and never,
I mean NEVER, harsh or edgy. (...) Its natural
sense of pace and rhythm is still here and helps vinyl
to keep that proper "timing" only top-end analogue
playback systems are capable of.
Nitty Gritty - Vinyl Record Cleaners - www.nittygrittyinc.com
"I was delighted to discover that many discs with what had appeared to be obvious pressing defects sounded inestimably better after a Nitty Gritty bath - proof, for the first time, that other cleaning methods were unable to remove the grunge from my recordings."
Morel Audio - Loudspeakers - www.morelhifi.com
Can I put a price on the best speakers I've ever heard? There are few speakers, in their price range or beyond, that can hold a candle to them. There must be a million dollars worth of engineering in these little boxes, or a lot of magic!
Blueroom - Loudspeakers, iPod Amp - www.podspeakers.com
The Minipods deliver the sort of stereo performance that we enjoy: detailed highs, realistic vocals, and good stereo imaging. Therefore, they're a nice fit for fashion-conscious shoppers who also want quality sound.

Primare - Amplifiers, CD Players, Surround Sound - www.primare.net
Pure from every angle: the Primare Philosophy. There is a universal truth in nature: evolution favours better design. In every case, the design that succeeds is selected because it is more efficient. It is simpler and yet more sophisticated for having rejected unnecessary, inefficient, often more complex structures, mechanisms and features. It’s no coincidence that the most enduring and successful designs are like this.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy the big game, the big concert or the latest Hollywood blockbuster. Viewers with a bigger idea of what home entertainment can be will cheer and applaud its big theater image – and think of all the money you’ll save on babysitters.
