CESSARO - the reference for horn loudspeakers
We have a love-hate relationship with horn speakers. Sure, these types of speakers have unparalleled dynamics, but with many brands they often get stuck in sound coloration and an unbalanced soundstage.
From our extensive experience in recording technology (especially of jazz and classical), we often miss the three-dimensional reproduction in this category of speakers.
Cessaro was an "ear" opener for us. At the last Munich show, we spoke with Ralph, the unyielding designer of Cessaro and he recognized exactly what we meant. He let us hear proof that their speakers deliver exceptionally lifelike and true-to-life reproduction. These speakers do not fall short of anything and are the "superlative" and surpass all other types of speakers.
Every reviewer, even Robert Harly from The Absolute Sound (who is definitely not a horn speaker fan) was heavily impressed.
So stop by and convince yourself. During the show we will have both the Alpha III and the smaller Opus on display.
TRUE LIFE AUDIO - Greek perfection
New and exclusive to Rhapsody, from Greece. We had long been looking for a good tube amp alternative to our superior CH Precision and discovered it at True Life Audio.
Aris, the owner and designer convinced us with the lifelike and multi-dimensional music reproduction of his amplifiers. Unprecedented and unheard of!
We will control the Cessaro-Alpha speakers with the TLA Supreme Series pre-stage and mono output stages. For the Cessaro-Opus, we close the insane TLA TSI-300 integrated hybrid amplifier to.
No matter which speaker you connect, these amplifiers adapt seamlessly and always deliver exceptional quality.
PINK FAUN - streaming excellence
During this show, our top streamer the Ultra 2.16 connected as "double stacked" to the Cessaro Alpha and True Life Audio amplifier.
We also have a first: the new smaller Pink Faun Scion. Derived from the Ultra 2.16, and available from March 2025 (price around 17,500). Pink Faun's irresistible perfection is again immediately evident here.
CH Precision - a first!
During the show, we will introduce our new reference DAC: the C10 DAC.
Never heard so much "heart" in digital playback. We will combine it with the Pink Faun 2.16 Ultra streamer.
Every customer is very surprised that digital has managed to make such a step forward. CH Precision flicks it again: unbeatable!!!
HSE SWISS - Swiss precision
Robert Huber the designer of perhaps the quietest phono stages, is certainly no stranger. A former chief designer at studer and with numerous patents to his name, including his unique microphone-for-amplifiers, he is known for his uncompromising products with the highest quality compo-nents. With HSE SWISS, he runs his own boutique brand where development and production is carried out with the usual Swiss precision.
DÖHMANN - analog precision
Mark Döhmann develops absolute top-tier turntables. Its Helix One Mk3 and Helix Two Mk3 are set up during this show and provide the most precise and musical analog input.
