Romy Hi, there is nothing to say really, I was trudging up the usual hifi route, ( B&W 800's usual high powered solid state amps 
I thought a turntable upgrade would be the last step! Went to GT Audio to listen to Thomas Woschnicks turntable, gt is the UK Avantgarde distributor, I hadn't heard horns before there was something immediate about them, I liked very much, I posted a question on a UK forum, Guy Sargeant ( who occasionally posts here ) advised me to check out Cessaro , i wrote to Ralph kreabs ( Mr Cessaro ) Thomas Woschnick invited me over to Germany , I didn't know but Thomas had met Ralph two years previously , heard Ralph's Gamma's and really thought them superb, he said he couldn't sleep for a week1 Ralph agreed to design a smaller speaker for Thomas' room , I didn't realise the as well as hearing Thomas' turntables I would also be listening to the Alpha horns. Ralph also visited that weekend he bought the first piece of Allnic the 1500 phono, which we compared with Thomas' resident phono stage. Thomas has a great system the speakers sounded wonderful, I decided to buy a pair on the spot, sold my B&W's the next day. Ralph said he would make a pair for the Munich Hi-end show and we could bring them back to the UK together, Ralph just wanted someone who really liked the speaker to represent them ,rather than the usual dealer who will sell anything if the margin is big enough. Having heard Ralph's system ( gamma ) I would buy them in a moment but although I might be able to afford the speakers I can't afford a house in London big enough to put them in!
Yours sincerely,Keith.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
