Fink Team Borg Loudspeakers Amara / Ebony or White / Grey (ex dem)
FinkTeam’s Borg is two-way floor standing design featuring a 10.25 inch high-power mid/bass driver and an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter.
Borg is a significant design exercise as knitting a 10.25 inch mid/bass, albeit an extremely fine one, with a HF unit is never easy. To combine the two drivers to achieve a flat frequency response and, more importantly, a slow even mid/HF roll off in the power response is a significant feat of engineering. There is no off-axis hole in the middle effect.
A true reference loudspeaker from the most famous design teams in Europe.

CH Precision P1 / X1 with EQ Board Option (used)
Current models. Until the Launch of the £70,000 P10 last year, the P1 / X1 combination was regarded by many of the worlds high end audiophiles and critics as the finest phono stage on the planet. When we heard it first (nearly two years ago) we could not believe the performance available from a turntable.
The X1 Power supply comes with additional regulator stage for powering an additional CH Precision item such as L1 pre-amplifier, D1.5 or C1.
This pair is now available used in excellent condition from a customer who is making the leap to the P10.
The phono stage embraces two technologies, with current sensing to bring out the best in high end MC phono cartridges.
The incorporation of EQ curves for correction of early vinyl recordings brings about a life and vitality never heard before in some of the finest recordings ever committed to disc.
