Waiting with bated breath for the photos...

I'd be willing to schlep stuff around for the price of a plane ticket, too. (Just ask Albert.)

Hello All,

Here we go.
Just got back in my Hotel. It is 02.30 now, working whole day and evening to settle the booth.
Waited for everone left the hall to fine tune the system. Always need full quietness to do this.
Oh Boy, what is this system sounding very spectacular !!!!! I had no time to test the system before I left Holland so I was rather exited to here the first tunes. Wow, what a Sound.

No wall of sound but a entire Hall of sound. When I started the system during the afternoon there were people coming from all over the hall to see and hear were this sound was coming from.
A lot them thought there was real music playing by a band !

Look at some pictures.

Stay tuned.

Cor

Cor, those VR35s are very nice looking. I like your choice of grill cloth color. Good job!

Nice seeing the VR-35's next to the UniField 3's. I have seen them in person so it's good to have the perspective. Nice display.

I like the Solid Tech racks, too, especially the custom UniField stands.

Cor, thx for the great pics.. Looks like you brought the "kitchen sink" with you... Don't forget the massage and chiropractic visit afterwords! What a terrific compliment of equipment you brought with you.. Can't wait to hear what audiophiles are saying about the display. Since the Uni series was developed with the European mkt in mind (to be placed in small to medium quarters) i'm curious if they'll receive special or serious consideration for demo's?

Well thanks guys,

The sound is fantastic, even in this crowed hall full of confusing sounds of mixed music coming out of the different booths.
We get a lot of compliments all day.
We also have serious interest for the VR 35 SE. Next week I have to visit a few clients for a demo.
Still one hour to go, than have a bite and go to sleep since last night was very short, making the pictures on line.

Regards from Munich,

Cor

Very nice, congratulations Cor on making the deadline!

I didn't like the grey cloth on my VR4 GenIII HSE's but on the VR35's with the black/grey cap and bottom plate plus the silver tags and bindingposts it looks wonderful!

Love the grey - wondering if I can get some grey socks for my VR-33's??

Different cloth (fabric or socks) are a possibility to fit the VR 33 or VR 35 into any interior. Also the finish of foot and topcap can be added at request. Just send a e-mail-message about what you prefere and we will respond about the extra cost(s).

A cheers to one and all.

Also met Economidus yesterday.
He was very surprised too to meet the VR 35 in this way.

The system is growing fast, after two days in rest the VR 35's are making music more and more.
We enjoy them very much.

Cor, so what vintage is that Kronzilla tube?

ceedee · « **Reply #34 on:** 8 May 2010, 08:40 pm »

Hello Gavin,

This is the first KR T 1610 tube ever made.
I got it from Dr. Riccardo Kron personally as a gift.
It is very valuable for me as a collectors item.
The T 1610 is used in the Kronzilla amplifiers and now a days they are improved and far more efficient.
The first generation need a lot of power from 'the plug in the wall' at least 16 amp. at 230 volt.
Now the amp. consumes no more than 350 watt operating in full class A.
Also the heat of the tube is reduced and the tubes have a very long life.

In October we introduce a new line of Kronzilla's which are still more efficient and use less energy.
That is why the KR logo we use on the banner is turned into green. The color of environmental and durability.

Regards,

Cor

Hello to all,

Here is a update from today's showday in Munich.

It was very crowded over all.
I almost lost my voice talking so much.
To bad you can only talk to one person at the time.

Here are e few new pictures.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Cor,, Your booth looked terrific.. Wondering if you had a chance to play the Uni2's for the crowds?? Also, I see that you list Anthem in the banner on the wall.. Curious about the sound quality of this processor/amp in your HT set-up.. Jack

ceedee · « **Reply #37 on:** 9 May 2010, 11:23 pm »

Thanks Jack,

I received lots of compliments about the booth.
Like last year I took some old equipment like the first built T 1610 KR Tube, a Telefunken Turntable built like a piece of furniture.
Also a Philips speaker from 1931 and a very rare microphone to make a 'bridge of statement' between than and now, still using tubes but now very efficient, powerfull, dynamic and well tuned to bee the most musical ones.

Last year we introduced the Unifield Two in Munich so this year they were staticaly presented.
I did show the Unifield One since they were new for this year. Mainly we played music over the VR 35 SE system. Sourced by Internet Radio and High Quality CD by EERA Tentation.

We selected the Anthem Statement to drive the new VSA surround system we received recently.
Within a few weeks I will organize a demonstration with this intelligent 7.1 System.

I will tell you all about it.

Regards rom Munich,

Cor

Hello all,

Just got back again in my Hotelroom for the last time.
A lot of work to do putting all the gear back into the VAN.
It was raining a lot so it was hard to get everything safe and as dry as possible in there.

Any way we managed.

Here is a say hello to all of you from the booth in Munich, we enjoyed very much meeting a lot of nice people.

Up to the next event.

Regards,

Cor

Cor,

I can only assume that the two folks with the halos are some sort of angelic presence. And who, may I ask, is the attractive lady standing beside you?
