Announcements
The new loudspeakers Harrie and Harrie XXL are included in the section Products. New pricelist online and all prices converted to the EURO. De ultiem heldere (semi) gebalanceerde interlink. The next generation.
(Dutch information) Omdat elke fabrikant van top audioapparatuur weet dat ophoping van geleidende materialen, zoals te brede printbanen, de muzikaliteit van het apparaat vermindert, en TAF interlinks als externe printbanen beschouwt, zal het duidelijk zijn dat bij deze generatie ook in de aansluitdelen (de stekkertjes) hoge eisen gesteld zijn aan de kwaliteit en de hoeveelheid materiaal dat als geleider dienst doet. Om deze reden zijn (ogenschijnlijk) kleine, zeer hoogwaardige cinch connectoren verwerkt. Wederom geldt hier: less is better (maar dan wel zeer goed materiaal). Evenals dat bij printbanen geldt, zo geldt dat ook voor interlinks: less is better, ofwel hoe korter hoe beter. Daarom heeft TAF drie standaard lengtes, te weten 30, 60 en 90 cm. Er kan (tegen meerprijs) een andere lengte geleverd worden (tot ca. 35 m of meer!). Inmiddels hebben enkele bekendere muziekliefhebbers deze kabels (of kabeltjes) eens lekker aan de tand gevoeld. Zo snel we wat reacties op papier hebben, zullen we dit aan deze rubriek toevoegen.

TAF zoekt mensen met een top audio installatie met navenante luisteromstandigheden om zijn
toplijn in directe vergelijking te kunnen brengen. Dit om zo beter onze (kwaliteits)positie in
de markt te kunnen beoordelen. Introduction Merlin On May 14 and 15 1999 the Merlin was introduced to the Dutch audio press. It is now possible to order in more than one hundred (terrazzo) variations. The delivery time is approximately 8 weeks but after that the new owner can boast about owning the world's best loudspeaker specifically designed for vacuum tube amplifiers. This was our aim and that's why it took 17 months from the drawing board to the end product. For more information about the Merlin please visit the product page. VAD show This year Terrazzo Art Fidelity (TAF) will be present on the VAD Show in Veldhoven for the first time (so not unlike the past few years when we were "near" the VAD Show). The exact room number isn't known yet but the dates are: October 23, 24 and 25. Location: Hotel and business centre Koningshof. Dealers To improve the distribution of our products, TAF is going to cooperate with some top high-end dealers. One of those dealers we have approached is the Opera in Oisterwijk. Of course we're open to suggestions.
The Firato 98 fair is over. Now we are preparing us for the next show.
We will be present at the VAD show held in
Veldhoven (Holland). The VAD show is being held at October 24 and 25 and is
open from 12:00 - 18:00 each day. Cafe Hotel 'De Gigant' (Across the church in Veldhoven) Dorpstraat 17 Veldhoven Holland For more information you can contact us.
Welcome to our first Internet newsletter! The first new loudspeaker we are working on will be the the Rectangle 26 (R26): the first choice for tube lovers. This system will be finished at the beginning of 1999. It is 166 cm high, approx 35 cm deep and the front is 17 cm wide. On one side the speaker widens towards the back so that its top view is like a quadrangle with one right angle. The midrange and high frequency is realized by the same planar magnetic driver duo as in the Cadans 28˛.The low frequency is taken care of by four serial/parallel 17 cm units which are placed in a double D'Appolito configuration. The result of this, determined through a careful computer simulation, is: -3dB: 25 Hz. Sensitivity 92 dB/w/m! This groundbreaking, reference loudspeaker (price approx Fl. 19.000 ($9900)/pair) is going to be followed by smaller (and therefore cheaper) "tube dedicated loudspeakers". These speakers are of course also very suitable for transistor and mosfet amplifiers.
* The Cadans 28 is now upgraded into the second edition (Cadans 28˛). This version is standard built with an internal crossover. The extremely heavy external crossover, build in a terrazzo casing, is still available at an additional cost. * After 7 years, the Cadans 3 has been modified. Now the legendary Esotec tweeter from Dynaudio is put into action and the crossover is hardwired using the heavy Mundorf components. Besides this C3˛, we are developing a compound edition. In this edition the low/midrange section will be realized by two 17 cm units placed behind oneanother (=compound) as in the C28˛ and R15. The -3 dB of this C3˛ compound is about 35 Hz !! |
