Serial no. 004 so pretty new off the production line. Oto Phono SE Silver Signature 35 th Anniversary. Still have my 1995 Oto Phono SE as well as a 2022 Oto Phono SE Signature so when the opportunity for the new one came up, may as well fill the dance card.
Will run it for a few days on an old pair of LS3/5a’s to make sure nice and stable in the tube department and then see how it sounds on the field coils. Happy days ahead…

Never trust a bored client with too much time on his hands. Who ever heard of a solid state Vindicator?
The ex*****on is brilliant in creating a visual perspective and Cath thought it hilarious.

To say we have too many trade in AN products is a bit of a stretch but they are starting to add up so over the next couple of days we will be adding them all to our website with details and pricing.
So far we have the following.
TT3/ PSU3 with Arm3
TT2 Deluxe with PSU and new Arm2
AN-E SPe HE in maple with stands
CD-3.1x integrated cd player
Oto Line SE Signature amplifier
Quest Silver Low Gain monoblocks
Jinro amplifier
Tomei amplifier
Conqueror Silver Signature amplifier
AN-S3 stepup transformer
AN-S4 stepup transformer
AN-J SPe speakers in high gloss Makassar veneer.
There are more items from Kondo, a cartridge and stepup, KSL SFz along with a new rebuilt IO-1 cartridge and some others I need to consider. All of the items are in pretty mint condition and all function perfectly so I’m not clearing out debris.
I swear it was never about “he who dies with the most Audio Note gear wins”.

We do have clients who start off ordering a set of Takatsuki 300b tubes and end up sending us their new Dueland silver foil caps for conditioning on the Telos QBT unit. Telos use a lot of custom caps made for them by Dueland in their top end equipment so it is a completely normal procedure.
I have also done this conditioning with AN silver and copper foils and the gain in every parameter just makes you smile.

We have had these amps for a few years now and they came from a deceased estate. I had always intended to do a rebuild on them as the original build was using the Blackgate caps but with the 2 watt tants, the version after the Shinkoh’s but well before what AN are currently capable of now. These are silver tants and silver niobiums only. The binding posts are the topline tellurium copper silver plated and the Furutech NCF IEC mains socket.
The inspiration of doing it now came from a conversation about a pair available in Germany and the serial number they are and how they are described as relatively recent production yet the serial numbers are 0006 and mine are 0015 and mine are likely 2005 production so it was in looking for the actual production date that I decided it was time to extract the digit and complete the project. You would have no idea how much polishing of silver goes into one board.
The original supply 1967 manufacture WE 300b tubes I sold in 2021 and these will be furnished with the WE-25 driver tubes and matched pairs of the Takatsuki 300b tubes.
I had heard this pair running in the owners system driving E-SEC’s and they were extraordinary in their dynamic capability so looking forward to hearing them again.

A new designation of a “TT THREE i“ turntable. Improvements to the motor mounts with decoupling employed, damping of the motor covers, the new “stealth” anodising of the bearing platform. I haven’t compared the PSU4 that came with this to an earlier version but AN keep evolving in interesting ways.

The customer said it might need a little tidy up before you sell it for me. Glad she didn’t try to light it up first.
I’ll post the follow up images after the deed.

Final pieces of the puzzle securely attached. No solder compression fitting Furutech 202 NCF plus banana plugs on Sogon LX96. Matching the 102 NCF on the Sootto interconnects and the FI-50 NCF on the Sootto mains.
These feed into the Sogon Signature Limited speakers which now have 330 hours up and the bass weight and scale is next level. We are showing these at a hifi show in Melbourne in August so just glad to keep pushing the envelope.

The AN Limited’s require a 4 pin Xlr connector cable from the power supplies up to the connection point on the rear of the cabinets and this cable as supplied by AN is the 4 core Lexus Lx 96 copper cable.
Fortunately we have a customer who asked if changing up from Lexus to Sogon would bring a change worth the substantial cost. After auditioning just a single cable on one speaker, the decision to reterminate that into 2 short runs allowed the system to function as a full silver power supply.
These are the cables for our Sogon Signature Limited’s. Furutech rhodium connectors. If I told you how much better these speakers sound, it still wouldn’t be adaquete.
We have around 200 hours on them now and they are starting to come back to us. Still need another 200-300 hours to be fully balanced but getting there.
