40 years of Pluto turntables at Audio 21

When I asked Marco, the distributor from the Netherlands, he was enthusiastic about the results of the show at Audio 21. Following are, more or less, his words:

The show went great! Lots of visitors, great sound, even AJ (van den Hul) participated personally. René van Es took the pictures (now in the gallery) and will write a show report of the day.
It was the first show ever worldwide with 4 Pluto turntables. We played with the Gran Gioia's and the Genuin FS 2's and for the first time with a complete van den Hul amplification set-up!
All the Plutos played with the new Crimson cartridge from van den Hul.

You can read a report on the event written by René van Es on the pages of Puresound.be page

Music days in Düren

Even this year the Neueshören Record store in Düren had an event about Blumenhofer.
Well... they were that busy dealing with customers that they forgot about taking pictures.

It must have been amazing.

Audio Spring Time - Rotterdam

In Rotterdam Music2 presented, as usual a huge setup in 2 rooms.
One room with Sonore AC and the Gran Gioia another with an Octave system and a Genuin FS 2.

The press was enthusiastic:
- Sonore AC  is a new and innovative Dutch company. The combination of the Sonore amps with the Blumenhofer Gran Gioia's and the  breathtaking Pluto Audio 10A turntable was really from the highest class! Even with only 3 days of burned inn loudspeakers I cannot believe it can be better than this. Absolutely amazing...
- When I arrived at the top-floor I could not believe what I was hearing.  When closing my eyes I was listening to a live performance: High End at the Highest level!

Here some pictures of the show

Home Cinema Event at Spinelli Milan

At Spinelli was the first time we made such an home video event and I must tell it: it was impressive! Really amazing what a good home cinema system can do.

Anyway impressive:
- Tempesta 20 mains
- Center 20
- Surround 17
- Sub 15

Electronics:
- Galaktron Power amplifier
- Cambridge Audio receiver
- Cambridge Audio Blue Ray player
- Epson 4k projector

Cabling and power treatment:
- Cammino

Well... I'm thinking about such a setup at my place ;-)

Here some pictures of the event.

Event at Musicanova in Nürnberg

During the weekend MuSiCa NoVa from Nürnberg presented a combination of our loudspeakers with their electronics.
Chef Harald Pensel, played a chain based on our Genuin FS 2 combined with a Scheu Analog complete turntable.
All the material presented was made in Germany.
For sure people participating had their wishes fulfilled.
Here some pictures of the event.

Upcoming Events dedicated page

Due to the extent that the communication of upcoming events had taken, pulling away the attention from the actual news of Blumenhofer, we found a way to clarify it quite a bit and dedicated a personalized page for this growing area of our site.
This should facilitate and standardize the way these information are shared.

Here, You can reach this Upcoming Events Page

Norddeutsche HiFi Tage 2014

For the 5th time in a row this is a permanent appointment in our show participation and we never regret being on that show. This year it was even better than last year. In my feeling the participation of the public was even more than last year.
What to tell that I haven't already told?
This time I did not have the chance to make even one step outside of our room and spent the whole day talking with people visiting the show and spending lot of time in our room.
...even if really tough it has been very good!!

This was the setup, simpler than last year, but for this not less performing:

- Einstein Power Amplifier - The Amp
- Einstein CD Player - The Source
- Cammino H 3.1 Power Harmonizer
- The Rack was our way... If You are curious, take a look at the gallery ;-)

- Blumenhofer Acoustics Lautsprecher - Genuin FS 2
