Listen carefully!

The day of the listening session, you are looking forward to it, we are looking forward to it, senses are set. Arrive, entrance ... finally you're there. Walking past all the listening rooms and showrooms, the impulses are uncontrollable; smiling, drooling, feeling. We know, you belong here and everything else is suddenly completely unimportant. To accommodate these emotions, we have five listening rooms. They sound and feel different. Each one tells a different story so behold. Yours is ready when you arrive, comfortable and secluded from the rest of the shop. Sink into the chair, send us off, play your own music and firmly grab the volume knob. Below you can already admire all five spaces!

Versterker

Versterkers voor allerlei signalen waren er al maar rond 1912 kwam de Amerikaan Lee de Forest met de audioversterker. Ook de triodebuis van 1906 was van zijn hand. De eerste versterkers waren buizenversterkers en sommigen bereikten na drie decennia een zeer hoogwaardige kwaliteit. De Williamson Amplifier uit midden jaren 40 wordt als bakermat van de high end audio beschouwd, een ontwerp waar velen op hebben voortborduurt. In 1947 werd de transistor uitgevonden waardoor buizen geen noodzaak meer waren. In 1959 kwam de MOSFET waardoor versterkers steeds kleiner konden worden. Vandaag de dag zien we een stijging van het gebruik van Klasse D-toepassingen, deze versterkeroplossing werd begin jaren 50 al uitgevonden maar pas sinds de eind jaren 70 serieus geïmplementeerd door Sony.

Amplifier

Amplifiers for all kinds of signals were already available, but around 1912 the American Lee de Forest came up with the audio amplifier. The triode tube of 1906 was also made by him. The first amplifiers were tube amplifiers and some achieved very high quality after three decades. The Williamson Amplifier from the mid-1940s is considered the cradle of high-end audio, a design that many have built on. In 1947 the transistor was invented, making tubes no longer a necessity. In 1959 the MOSFET was introduced, allowing amplifiers to become increasingly smaller. Today we see a rise in the use of Class D applications, this amplifier solution was invented in the early 1950s but only seriously implemented by Sony since the late 1970s.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
