We cannot change the fast evolving market bringing us cinema quality pictures in Full HD and 7.1 uncompressed surround formats.

To be honest given all this choice, I still can't see the forest through the trees :

But if you really look closely at least there's once big certainty:

Stereo is here to stay !

In various occasions we were surprised how much fine ambience is present in some stereo recordings. 3 years ago I owned a really big home cinema with all 7.1 bell and whistles and a 2m30 wide projection screen. When listening to Banco De Gaia - Igizeh we were wondering if we didn't accidently activated our surround speakers as we heard ambiance at exactly 90 degrees left and right, as if the sound surrounded us completely but with only two speakers. No we didn't cheat even though we were still staring at our surround speakers thinking 'what the ....'

Less is more

So over the past years we fine tuned our stereo performance to such level that we now want to share it with anyone who enjoys real stereo. When we play Preisner's Music we really believe we're in an underground chapel featuring the finest acoustics.

In our "less is more" approach we support real stereo:

On our road towards our quest you will find honest small-scale audio products which are typically hand-crafted and offer an excellent performance to price ratio, typically unseen at the competition. As we want to fully support the selected products we carry, these products are really the ones that we use day by day.
