![]() The valve connection even holds for today's subject in its usefully high 93dB/W/m voltage sensitivity and linear non-critical impedance. The latter factor big at Audio Note whose designers yawn at transistors. Think of things like output transformers, even valves. So yes, one can build a complete front-to-back Audio Note system, even order in parts to DIY or upgrade. They offer the hifi lot from turntables to cartridges, CD players to pre and power amps, digital, cables… and speakers. For already three decades Audio Note have minted fans of nearly religious fervor. Dyson to the rescue so we can wrap up our intro. Over-eager me shouldn't have reached deep into the bag with one hand but used a proper funnel inside a clean room. Go ahead, try to retrieve hundreds of pellets from a shaggy rug. Only so damped will these boxes sound their very best goes the tale.Įnter a hoover and the wisdom of hindsight: deep-pile carpets and minuscule balls don't play together nice. ![]() Really, the heaviest bits off my pallet were the thousands of micro lead spheres to load up the stands. Too big for a bookshelf, too small as a floorstander, the supplied €890/pr Audio Note J stands solve the riddle and look massive yet still elegant. Compared to speakers which crash the scale upward of 10 stones, it nearly felt like a featherweight in fact. At 13kg/ea., the actual speaker from South England's Sussex turned out to be a very back-happy bantam weight. ![]() The pallet drop at my front porch suggested heavy artillery. But those aren't the only surprises of this relatively light box in real wood. It also hangs a sharp left by being blue. This unusual 2-way's mid/woofer contains hemp. It also describes their AN-J/LX Hemp offered up to us for review by their German distributor.
