Hi Fredrik!

I think that deserves some kind of Anniversary Edition in your portfolio.
As it´s only in the fall, surely that gives you plenty of time to come up with another product...;-)

Cheers and keep up the fantastic work,

I am fortunate to have enough of all necessities. I run a tight financial ship and only have one expensive hobby. Luckily that hobby is my job since the fall of 2005, when my first commercial phono stage was released.

Wait a minute! This company is soon ten years old!

That will be cool - definitely party time.

In honor of the Hudik, maybe it's time for a 10th Anniversary Slipsik?

Excellent news, although it sounds like it takes a lot longer than originally planned to upgrade. I presume it'll be become a quicker routine the more units you do?
Don't sell yourself short Fredrik.

I've upgraded three pairs so far. The last pair could be completed in one day; less than four hours per unit. So it does get quicker!

Great news Fredrik but please take breaks each hour with some longer breaks during the day. We all want you to stay healthy.
It's way too easy to get carried away working with something you really like.

The Tundra Mono 2 is a fabulous amp!
They arrived this afternoon and after almost an hour after connected, the magic was there.
They are even better than what I remember from the prototypes.
The most obvious is the way I get dragged into the music. Tracks I am used to as good but not very special gets a new interest. Old and often played music gets new life.

Soundwise, it's like open up the window even more. Cleaner and more direct, in a good way. Fantastic!

More music!

Round 2, day 2!

Fredrik told You earlier that I'm not easily impressed, but I'm totally overwhelmed over the upgraded Monos!
I listened at low volumed this afternoon and I felt like listening to actively driven speakers. The resolution was that good. Otherwise, passive systems often feels a bit strangled at low levels, making me looking for the remote to increase the volume. Strange to find a pair of amps doing this. Original Tundra Mono didn't.
At the other end of the scale, the music flows effortless and very involving. And in-between, they just makes musik in a better way than anything else.

I find it hard to describe my impressions without being too enthusiastic and non-credible, but I find it hard to find proper words.

I am easily impressed when something like this finds the way into the system.

ok then - my Solo's was a good pair, they completely killed a Dynamik'ed Twin and they were very close to latest version of Solo (with Dynamik). But this is something different!
Simply more music :)

The amps are changing by the hour. Still laid-back in the bass and dynamically slightly compressed. And a tad hash in the upper frequencies.
But no doubt, they are very musical, very! The best amps I had the pleasure listening on.

I get back in a few days.

What a brilliant idea, Charlie.

Have you used the trim feature yet, Music Lover? It takes about fifteen seconds.

Stay tuned!
