Thanks very much, Kuoppis and Drummer62.
I take your points about getting the most out of the source and voting with your wallet. Strong arguments!
Many thanks again
Regards
David

I finally broke down and ordered an Audionet HUMBOLDT last week.
Now, the wait....

Congrats David, excellent choice!

I’m certain you will be enjoying it a lots. For my part the Humboldt has probably been the most satisfying audio purchase in a long time.

Now it’s “Prop Up The Valium…” until the big day

Some pictures

**ICUToo** · June 8, 2021, 05:39 AM

where are the pictures from, Drummer62? Is there an article?

**Drummer62** · June 8, 2021, 05:41 AM

Yes, an Italian magazine

**ICUToo** · June 8, 2021, 06:14 AM

Do you have a link or a title?
Google translate is AMAZING

It's AudioReview but it's not on line

Congrats on the Humboldt purchases. I've owned the Stern / Heisenberg combination for a while and think is incredible. From what I heard of the Humboldt at Munich, it's much the same. I would add to the previous comments that the sound is very "saturated" and as such, very different from the somewhat dry Audionet sound of other models (although I owned and liked the MAX power amps). It is also a very dynamic sound - even at low volumes, it demands your attention. The low noise floor and lack of any harshness means, though, that it never becomes tiring.

David, Angelo (Drummer62) is the reviewer.

He bought the review sample.

Heihei, excellent additions, many thanks.

I very much agree.

And Angelo / Drummer62: I guess I know how you felt about it- you bought it!!

Has anyone seen The Absolute Sound review of the Humboldt?

**Kuoppis** · June 11, 2021, 12:13 AM

Yes, both the preview and the later review. Key parts have also been quoted in the thread.

Both are rather positive
