High End 2023 – Ten Collection: la creme de la creme
“Indeed, the new Trafomatic Rhapsody 300B stereo integrated amplifier combined with horn-loaded Tune Audio Epitome speakers, both in a striking red, and a Rockna Signature Anniversary R-2R Ladder DAC produced truly magical sounds.
Chris Jones’ voice sounded so organic I could swear he was in the room. The backing vocals created a haunting atmosphere and contrasted well with Jones’ raw and emotional vocals. Combined with the bass guitar, they created a truly mesmerising musical experience”
Thank you José Victor Henriques and HIFICLUBE.NET
“The resulting sound was nothing short of pure, lifelike authenticity. It was as if the walls of the room dissolved, transforming the space into a live concert venue. Bereft of any digital harshness, the experience was a celebration of unadulterated, natural sound. The loudspeakers themselves deserve significant praise for their tremendous soundstage and remarkable presence, devoid of any jarring elements.”
Thank you Headmania.org
“It proved to possess all the hallmarks of a well-designed, big horn system: speed, immediacy, and effortlessness. The supporting cast consisted of a Rockna music server and DA-converter with a Trafomatic amplifier; the latter two sported a red livery to match the big horns”
Thank you Eric van Spelde at Hifi Pig
“Typical for the more high-end and specialized setups is that many great brands are married to a music system that sounds very special”
Thank you HiFi.nl
“Tune Audio Epitome sound with vertical asymmetrical horn and bass horn. Energetic and plausible piano as well by energy as timbres, a homogeneous transparency, a certain delicacy.”
