Acknowledging the above, should it be any big surprise that he should know and understand a bit about what “accurate” reproduction of music and speech sound like?Īnybody who loves music and high-quality audio reproduction worth his salt will acknowledge that the human voice is the final test and conclusive standard by which to judge the ‘accuracy’ of a high definition sound reproduction system, and the loudspeakers involved are quite certainly our final destinationĪlthough Peter was influenced by the late Peter Snell’s speaker designs, particularly their crossovers, the AN/E loudspeakers, by some definition being a bit uncommon by today’s audiophile standards in set up, by no means sound or look like the Snell loudspeakers, which were originally built in the 1970s. His historic collection of analog records and first-rate CDs is something to envy, and believe me, he knows every detail of their recording dates, pressings, and when they were first issued. Peter Qvortrup is an adamant confidante of classical music, jazz, and opera. (The Audio Note AN/ED loudspeaker will be intricately examined in an upcoming post.) In case you weren’t aware, Audio Note has a plethora of excellent loudspeaker designs, exploiting the music of which first attracted me to their demonstration room.
It was quite an experience watching and hearing the prodigiously received “Arm3 doing its work as well! Finishing things off was the beautiful sounding and striking in presentation of the Meishu Phono Tonmeister. Thinking back to that day, some of the company’s more recent and exquisite analog components were combined with the CD3.1x/II some of which included the TT3 turntable with the ARM Three and the IQ3 moving magnet cartridge. The CD3.1x/II player is under evaluation here and now. There, he was displaying the most recent version of the CD 3.1X//II CD player with built-in output tubes, and no oversampling in its DAC. After cruising around many of the fine companies displaying their products, I wandered into the Audio Note room, as some exquisite vocal and jazz vinyl records were displaying some incredibly natural sound qualities.
I first met Peter Qvortrup, the architect of Audio Note (UK), last year at the California Audio Show. With the Audio Note CD 3.1x/II CD Player, analog as well as digital music lovers may have finally found their dream come true.!
