SJS Model 3 Silver Enhanced mm phono, Model 7 Premier Silver line stage and Model 10 Premier PSE 300B monoblock power amplifiers were partnered with Kuzma turntables, Consolidated Audio SUTs, Audes power conditioners, DH Labs cables and the fabulous Living Voice R80 loudspeakers.
A sunny weekend of fine tunes and the joy of meeting friends both old and new.
"With their branded bags handed out to visitors Definitive Audio had a busy time at Deluxe, I did manage to sit down but only once. Their system seems to be growing in stature with the Kuzma XL Air taking top honours as the highest turntable at the show, it sounded excellent though thanks to a Safir 12 arm and Car 60 cartridge side playing through one of three Consolidated Audio step up transformers, the bespoke Monster Can being Definitive’s preference. Valve electronics consisted of SJS Model 3 phono stage, Model 4 preamp and Model 10 mono block power amps driving a glossy Santos pair of Living Voice R80 OBX speakers. The sound made this room an oasis of calm even when the music got lively, I could have spent most of the day there had the opportunity arisen."
The Ear
"Flagship Kuzma and Living Voice in the same room? No wonder it was hard to squeeze my modest camera lens in this space, as these were something else to experience. A definite contender for system of the show"
"This system created a huge 3D soundstage that extended well beyond the outside edges of the speakers, making the recording environment easy to hear. Yet with simpler music, it produced a strong central image with real human solidity. I could have spent hours in this room too!"
