Audionet Humboldt integrated

I’d love to hear their current gear. I confess that I wasn’t crazy about earlier versions. I think since last year they’ve had huge improvements.

Yes, Audionet doesn't find a lot of love on this forum but the sound of their amps is really awesome!

I'm a fan of their stuff too. They are very neutral, high resolution and low in distortion.

Not for everyone of course.

Compared to the stuff Switzerland(Soulution, CH, Dartzeel) Audionet is a value.

I'm sure the flagship stuff (like this integrated ) is on another level than what I've previously heard.
 
wooow!
its the machine i am dreaming about. hope you enjoy it.
any coments very welcome!

the connectors of your cables matches the connectors of the amp perfectly. what brand is the xlr?

is the humbolt available in the high format too?

and, while too early, how does it compare to the vitus sia 030?
lol, cant belive it you got both of them.:)

Haven’t heard the new line. I’ve heard Audionet with YG speakers at shows in the past and found the sound to be too analytical.
 
Great sounding amp. Heard it at Munich. Completely unlike the sterile stuff they used to make.
 
I’d like to hear the Stern & Heisenberg combo. But they’re quite a pricey pleasure. And I think I’ve found a sound very much to my liking with Soulution.

well, the 1000watt heisenberg for your lansches4.2......you certainly wouldnt miss power:)

and my little toyspeakers (tunetot) will be powered by humboldt around christmas:))if all goes right
 
I've currently got the Stern / Heisenberg on extended home demo and think they are incredible. In my system, I prefer them over CH L1 + M1.1 monos - makes listening to music much more of an event.
I heard the Humbolt at Munich this year, and thought very good. Suspect it will get very close to the Stern / Humbolt pairing with the different being the outright power.

Although I haven't heard these products in my own system. At shows or dealer ; I was always impressed by their low distortion, high resolution, neutrality and speed.

In the right system, they convey a very good sense of realism and you are there feeling.

Enjoy
 
Take it as read they do detail etc as per other high-end amps, but a few things are standout. First and foremost is the low noise floor, which I suspect is a big driver of the other aspects that are noteworthy, namely sound-staging and jump-factor.
Soundstaging is about the best I've heard, not only in front to back and width, but in the air and defined space around each instrument / voice etc.
The jump factor is what keeps me engaged in the music and is why I prefer them to CH etc. The dynamics are incredible, and suspect the outright power available is also a factor in terms of outright grip.
Tonally these are the best SS amps I've heard, to the point where you may not pick them as SS in blind testing.
The final aspect which is noteworthy is how unstressed these amps sound. You can listen full-on for long periods with no stress, strain or fatigue, even on music and instruments you'd normally expect to, e.g. piano.

One observation - I think the Heisenbergs are the star of the show here. The Stern pre is good (arguably better than a CH L1), but think the power amps make the pairing world-class.
 
strongly mouthwatering, thx for your review.
just sold my nagra classic amp.....

so, are you going to buy them? i would if i could, more power is more power.

as for the humboldt, yes i think pairing with a more efficient speaker is key to not loose too much performance compared to the heisenbergs.
just saw these new zellaton evo speakers

92db efficience, 40k euro, (said to be better than theyr 120k reference speaker), could be a good fit and if a find a trade-in deal with my current speakers i might do it blind:)
