"What a refreshingly honest blog about listening to music through hi-fi. So happy to see views based upon the enjoyment of music rather than so-called sound 'quality'." - Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design at Mission / Wharfedale

VON GAYLORD AT THE BRISTOL SHOW 2018 - HIGHLY COMMENDED

VON GAYLORD
- ART CD Player
- Von Gaylord Nirvana Valve Amps
- Von Gaylord Legend Standmount Speakers





Substantial looking valve amps stood on the floor. Substantial looking cabling, neatly laid out across the floor, but very conspicuous as it reached behind the stands to bi-wire the Legend boxes - themselves a chunky looking slope sided pair of substantial standmounts.  All the kit looked very well made.  I enjoyed this system - it avoided that bloomy warmth that seems to afflict many valve amps - it was incisive, detailed, dynamic and very very clear.  Great vocal quality with subtelty and expression coming through well.  On top of that, the imaging was expansive but stable and the taut, suprisingly deep bass lead to a very engaging system.
