So it soon emerged that the Cadenzas, despite their moderate dimensions – and for me even more important: a weight of less than 40 kilograms each – rank sonically among the great transducers of their guild. They are certainly a bit more forgiving than my work horses at home, but it’s still fun llistening to them even with less felicitous recordings. So the job was quickly done and the decision just as quickly made: I can well imagine making room for the Cadenzas in my listening room before the end of the year. This left Helmuth Weber and me plenty of time to compare digital playback formats and play some of our favourite pieces of music to each other. Not that you think this pleasurable excursion is exclusively reserved for the author: Helmuth Weber is very happy to receive interested visitors at Chiemsee Hifi after short notification. Even a longer outward journey is well worth the stake.
