Cessaro was an "ear" opener for us. At the last Munich show, we spoke with Ralph, Cessaro's unyielding designer, and he recognized exactly what we meant. He let us hear proof that their speakers deliver exceptionally lifelike and true-to-life reproduction.

We have proudly carried the MARTEN speakers in our program for years, and their Parker Trio Diamond is another gem. A good reason to highlight them during this show.

RHAPSODY is moving. More news to follow soon!

As you may have noticed, there has been a lot going on at Rhapsody lately. Finally the time has come to tell you that as of mid-July we will be moving and something special will begin. Come say goodbye to our legendary Hilversum premises. It is currently full of interesting offers.

35 YEARS RHAPSODY show
Five years back we celebrated our anniversary big time at Wisseloord Studios. Fond memories for us and all our Rhapsody friends. This lustrum year we will do things in a more modest way, but just as festive.
It will be one of the last shows in Hilversum. Not with a set of several tons, but this time with a compact but very complete set that we think sounds fantastic.

At our old familiar address (while it lasts), a show of favorites that are sure to come with us to our new location.
With:
> Estelon XB Diamond Mk II - speakers
> CH Precision I 1 - integrated amplifier
> Schnerzinger - cables and field elimination
> Grimm MU1-mstreamer

This will be the last year-end show in Hilversum. And before we move, a GRAND FINALE show and more festive events will follow.
So be there because this will be a great and memorable bouncer. 

Today's most revolutionary and mesmerizing speakers: the 101 E MKII - omnidirectional speakers from MBL.

You won't hear a big horn-sounding speaker anytime soon at Rhapsody. But sometimes you have to step over your own ideas to be surprised. And we're going to let you hear that surprise with the Blumenhover Acoustics Corona 2×220

The THRAX Spartacus and Libra: the most advanced tube amplifiers available.

Summer Breeze shows at Rhapsody on Aug. 13 & 20

FOR YOUR EARS ONLY - SECRET DEALS. This time a show full of interesting secret deals that will help you refine your set even further. Deals that you can close on the spot. But then you have to come by. So feel free to walk in on July 15 or 16.

The speakers from Zellaton, the German high-tech manufacturer, amaze critics, reviewers and listeners with their realistic and natural music reproduction. No wonder the Zellaton Plural is our best-selling high-end speaker. This speaker exceeds everything you would expect from a high-end speaker.

For this show, we put up as speakers our favorite MBL monitor 126. MBL is world renowned for its unique radial radiating reproduction technology that results in a perfect soundstage and sublime timbre.

We are going to connect this MBL gem to one of the finest integrated amplifiers: the THRAX ARES. This Bulgarian brand builds unique and high-quality HIGH END electronics and loudspeakers.

Our motive is always to express the qualities of an album in all its nuances and thus to maximize the importance of certain albums. And this time we are putting out a great set of firsts for that.

The sublime TRAFOMATIC Rhapsody.
A musical gem with a 20 watt triode circuit that provides plenty of "headroom" and lends itself perfectly to many high-end speakers. All in all, a technical and external beauty that will make you very eager.

OUR YEAR-END WISHES:
Above all, stay healthy! Happy & peaceful days with anticipation of a beautiful and musical 2022! And check out the video!

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief....

New releases on our audiophile RAR label: Jeremy Olivier - Where The Light Gets In and Atzko Kohashi (piano) & Eddy Koopman (percussion)

CH Precision sets a completely new standard when it comes to music reproduction. Their equipment is not about what it does, but what it does not do!
Only the pure music input and output through your speakers.

Estelon and Audio Research is twice world class. We have wonderful sets with these top products on display. And firsts with the NAIM Solstice and Audio Research I/50. You won't want to miss that!

Estelon is one of those speaker producers that you can only qualify as world-class. They stand out for their unique and organic design and soon you might think that form is more important than substance. But with Estelon nothing could be further from the truth, with them the principle of "form follows function" is leading. The aesthetic design is a logical consequence of the technical design.
