E107: Audio Group of Denmark Tour - Part 1

[@sandman7849]

I listened to Lars for about an hour at the Florida Audio Expo. He can talk about the design of anything all day and will answer all questions. Super guy.

[@theaudioanalyst]

He truly is the PERFECT spokesman for the company...

Great one Greg! Love seeing things being made. Now talk to the boys Damon and Leif about doing one on the VSA facility.

Such a diminished noise floor with the electronics..... Whether the Tesla coils.. or something else.. Come to that even the combination of the whole! ... Its astonishing.. Eagerly await the next instalment... Thanks for documenting the tour Greg... I appreciate the content. 👍🏻

[@theaudioanalyst]

You've hit on something that is VERY apparent when listening to any Aavik/Ansuz/Børresen gear. There is a starkness behind everything allowing the musical construct to emanate from the blackest of backgrounds... I'm looking forward to getting these products in house and hearing them with other known products...

Greg love the tour thanks for bring it to the viewers.

[@scottbennett3119]

This company is cool, taking design and technology to the extreme! Thanks for these videos.

Thanks for sharing❤.

[@theaudioanalyst]

My pleasure... Thank YOU for watching... There are two more, plus the Tech Talk with Michael and Flemming, too! 😉

[@michaelgravlund9194]

@@theaudioanalyst yes have just been watching it. 👍☺️..... thank you. It is very interesting stuff. Have bought Ansuz products for my own set up and what a different it makes. And this only Ansuz entry level

[@AudioGroupDenmark]

Thanks for visiting 😃

[@theaudioanalyst]

Thank YOU for having me. Such an amazing experience!

[@scottbennett3119]

This is a terrific tour, thank you! Will you be reporting on the Forte 1?

[@theaudioanalyst]

Hello again... Probably NOT the Forte 1... Lars has indicated he would like me to audition and review the Forte 3, along with the X2 loudspeakers... I've NO idea when that will come to be, but I'm looking forward to it.

[@scottbennett3119]

@theaudioanalyst Thank you for getting back to me. Again, I really enjoyed watching the factory tour with you and Lars. Due to back problems, I am no longer able to move heavy equipment (there are probably many other audiophiles with the same issue). So, I am now very interested in an all-in-one solution. I am looking at the Axxess line, as well as the Daniel Hertz Maria integrated amplifier. I am hoping more reviewers of your caliber will be looking into this new generation of equipment soon. There's not a lot of reviews on these out there at the moment. Have a great day!

[@theaudioanalyst]

@@scottbennett3119 My pleasure. As you note, this is fast becoming an IMPORTANT and growing category of product. To be honest, while I have not heard, nor have any reports from any ears I trust on, the Daniel Hertz Integrateds and speakers, I am VERY curious, and a bit suspect of the pricing...which seems a bit on the high side to me at this point. Again, I have to acknowledge that without hearing them, I have NO idea how they actually sound, so this is just my informed speculation.

[@scottbennett3119]

​@@theaudioanalyst Thanks for your thoughts on this. I know of no better judge of high-end high-performance audio than you, so I will stand by and wait until some of this new equipment gets into your hands for review. Thanks again

[@khunopie9159]

Are you a Viking Greg?

[@theaudioanalyst]

LOL, no... My background would be British and Middle European.

[@kjellrogerjgensen60]

​​​@@theaudioanalystwell, the vikings had a lot of project in britain, also as traders, and giving name to "York" which is coming from the norøne nameform, Jorvik. So, never say never...🙂

[@joppepeelen]

A tesla coil sitting in here ??/ wtf very tiny one (what 50 turns) .... and even then what would be the benefit ?

[@theaudioanalyst]

Hello... May I suggest that you look at my written report on the litany of technologies AGD is employing where I delve into the each a bit deeper? That article is here... www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/manufacture/0323/Visiting_Audio_Group_Denmark.htm Please scroll down to the 9th breakout heading, "Inverted Tesla Coils," and have a look at that information. Hopefully that will give you some sense of why they are employed and what they are attempting to accomplish. You may also see more scrolling down this Avik D-580 page (audiogroupdenmark.com/product/aavik-d-580/) to see their explanation of the differing types of inverted Tesla Coils they implement.
