The AUDIO AERO PRESTIGE AMPLIFIER (at night)

The tubes on the Audio Aero Prestige monoblock amplifers give off a rather uncommon white light. So we just had to take some pictures…

During the day
The amps were moved downstairs and put on the Marten Coltrane / EDGE/ Lamm / Audio Note system. They do quite well with these speakers – despite the low impedance in the speaker bass frequencies and the minimal 40 watts per channel from the amps.

The amps are actually swapper here in these pictures – usually, putting the left amp on the left would have the tubes be on the ‘outside’ of the amps from the perspective of the listening position – whereas here they are on the inside.

THE NEW NORDOST FREY INTERCONNECT (Just pictures)

The new Frey interconnects look slightly different that tne old Valkryja interconnects… and use different (Nordost-branded WBT) conenctors.


The new Nordost Frey interconects are a slightly darker purple and slightly skinnier than the old Valkryja

The new interconnects. Like the speaker cables, the green indicates that these are demo interconencts and not for resale.


The new connectors come with instructions, but they are of the common (counter-intuitive) turn clockwise to loosen, turn counter clockwise to tighten and fasten the connector to the binding post.

Nope, haven’t heard how these sound yet either…

THE NEW NORDOST FREY SPEAKER CABLE (Just pictures)

The new Nordost Frey speaker cable looks exactly like the old Valkyrja speaker cable.


Here is a picture of them side-by-side. Both cables are purplish ribbon cables a little less than 2 inches wide.

Both cables are purplish ribbon cables about 2 inches wide
The green on the spade connectors indicates that these are demo cables, not for resale (they have to be sent back to the factory for retermination before they can be sold).

We haven’t heard them yet..

Stay tuned…
