DynaStation I
Errare humanum est!
Do you still believe that a CD-player is not able to perform as musical and emotional as a turntable?Well, we must admit that we could not believe in what could not be true.
All the improvements the digital-world made over the past 20 years were not able to get us off our deep conviction, that the long-playing record still is and probably will continue to be the better medium. Deep in our heart we have been Analogue-junkies ever since.
Then the DynaStation appeared and everything changed.
The DynaStation is the first serious competitor to the best analogue decks available, yes, it outperforms analogue even in it΄s essential strengths.
Even the most faithful analogue listeners swallow their criticism after a demonstration of the DynaStation.
The DynaStation reveals the faults of the analogue medium (which we always knew but got used to them)
Limited Dynamic Range, obvious, when listening to loud and complex passages (we always knew, but we accepted it for other qualities)
Limited Dynamic Range (again) causes loss of fine detail in quiet passages, which are masked by the surface noise of the record. This effect is usually compensated by level correction)
Distortion - caused by the mechanical limits of the record and geometrical tracking errors of the tonearm. The DynaStation performs cleaner, more powerful which enables relaxed listening exactly the way live music does.
Loss of Musical Fine Details and Expression
Almost unbelievable, but the DynaStation does it better: More emotional, more supple and with impact, directness, energy and aura until known from master tapes
Incoherence between Low and High Frequency caused by phase shift of the RIAA-correction-network. The audible effect is hard to describe but gets clear when you listen to the DynaStation.
Low Frequency Limitations caused by cutting limitations of the vinyl
Loss of Realism
Believe it or not, the DynaStation gives performance kind of magical realism. Even the best available CD-Player sounded liveless and artificial compared to vinyl records. Now the DynaStation even outperforms direct-to-disc recordings with ordinary CD΄s
True-to-Life Timbres, undoubtedly a special domain of the analogue medium. Did you ever listen to a digital recording of a violin or a grandpiano, performed with correct timbre?
The DynaStation equals richness of timbre of the vinyl but unlike the analogue the timbres appear correct! You know how different pickups draw timbres. Compared to the DynaStation, many appear pale, pickups with richness in timbre appear more or less colored.
Matched EL34 (6CA7) Tubes usually known as power pentodes, these tubes are used as triodes in the DynaStation giving performance unlimited dynamic range, true timbres and authenticity of even the finest details in music.
32 Bit DSP΄s of the DynaStation would suit much more expensive equipment
