E-newsletter for March 2004

Introduction
This year promises to be an exciting one for us at Audio Note Singapore, as we are expecting some new models from our established brands and also exciting new products to add to our range of equipment. Listed below in the first part of our newsletter, are some of the new models from our established brands that you can expect to see and hear very soon in our showroom.
 
AVANTGARDE ACOUSTICS
Avantgarde DUO 2.2For the first time in Singapore, you can experience the awesome sound of the latest Avantgarde DUO 2.2 horn speakers. This is the newest incarnation of the DUO, only with higher sensitivity (104dB), faster bass, wider dynamics, more fluid and more coherent overall presentation due to extensive tweaking of the crossover and built-in bass power amp.

If you’re longing for the ‘live music’ experience in your own listening room, then you’ve got to audition the new DUOs. We promise that you can’t live with anything less after that experience.
SHUNYATA RESEARCH
Hydra 6Hot on the heels of the very successful Hydra 8 power conditioner, comes the latest Hydra 6 and Hydra 2. Featuring 6 and 2 AC outlets respectively, these units offer most of the original Hydra’s state-of-the-art performance, but at a fraction of its cost!

Hydra 2Personally, we expect the Hydra 6 to be a hot seller as it features similar Hydra 8 features like cryogenically treated Venom silver-plated outlets, massive solid silver buss system and the Trident Defense System that provides an awesome 60,000-amps of peak current protection with Carling’s best hydraulic electromagnetic breaker. This allows the Hydra 6 to deliver virtually unlimited user flexibility by combining high-current capability with Shunyata’s passive form of noise reduction and system protection.

Also new are Shunyata’s Copperhead, Taipan Vx and Python Alpha and Vx power cords. We expect all items to be available by the time you read this.
NOTTINGHAM ANALOGUE
HorizonThere are no new models this year, but we just couldn’t resist announcing that the Horizon, Nottingham’s entry-level model, has just been awarded the prestigious “Analogue Source of the Year” by the Absolute Sound magazine! Here are some comments: “It does draw you into the music by revealing the flow, texture, and harmonic nuances of musical lines. And that, at US$1000 (including an easy-to-like tonearm), says a lot”.

Spacedesk and SpacearmThe ever-popular Spacedeck/Spacearm combo also got into TAS’s Recommended Components listing with such comments: “From its ultra-quiet backdrop to its mastery of pace and space, explosive and agile dynamics, harmonic integrity, tonal continuity, saturated images, and deep yet nimble bass, this combo won SH over”.

What more can we say!
ZANDEN AUDIO
Zanden Model 5000 DACIn the wake of the tremendous success of Zanden Audio’s Model 5000 tube DAC, comes their matching CD transport called the Model 2000. Designed to challenge the current state-of-the-art in digital technology, the Model 2000 is truly a work of love from designer K. Yamada.

Zanden Model 2000 CD Transport
Incorporating some innovative designs like a clock-regenerator that is 100 times more accurate than any other known transport, and other secret patent-pending technologies, it is claimed by many who have heard it to be probably the best CD transport in the market today!
