RMAF 2019 Show Report Sneak Peek!

Alta Audio, Krell, VPI, Audio-Technica, And ZenSati

  Alta Audio teams up with audio luminaries to create their very own star-studded display by also featuring Krell, VPI, Audio-Technica, and ZenSati. Within the room, Alta Audio will feature a feature a sneak peek at its new Alec, a new standard in top-end performance in small-to-midsize rooms. The two-way Alec, which will ship in September, achieves imaging that is natural and sonically accurate, performing at a level that is comparable to speakers that cost twice as much.

Also from Alta will be the Celesta FRM-2M, an update of its acclaimed full-range monitor, with engineering that features an advanced-technology design housed in an ultra-hard, ultra-high gloss polyester finished cabinet with both modern and retro design elements, including upgraded cabling, new conductors and capacitors, a new magnetic grille, and next-level DampHard material that helps to create an acoustically dead, resonance-free speaker.

Krell Audio will demonstrate the Illusion II preamplifier and Duo 300 XD two-channel 300-watt power amplifier. The Illusion II is Krell's centerpiece for a world-class stereo system, featuring a dual monaural design with the left and right channels afforded their own power supply regulation and individual circuit boards. Krell's Duo 300 XD features Krell Class A Bias Technology, a patent-pending circuit that delivers Class A operation without the excessive heat and wasted energy of conventional designs, resulting in sonics that are open and unconstrained. Also, on hand will be their k300i integrated amp in a static display.

VPI Industries will showcase its 40th anniversary HW-40, a new direct-drive turntable that features updated direct-drive motor technology, incorporating advances in motion control and materials technologies. Complementing the HW-40 will be Audio-Technica's AT-ART1000 moving-coil phono cartridge and the AT-SUT1000 MC step-up transformer. The company will also present its flagship ATH-ADX5000 open-air headphones and ATH-AP2000Ti audiophile headphones.

Rounding out the room will be ZenSati's Zorro series of cables, designed to let electrons work freely in insulation surrounded by pure air, with no PVC materials, allowing signals to flow intact over long distances.
