I’d first heard them in a packed Arlington Room at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum this last February. The frozen, yellow grass out front was thawing and inside, principals Eric Krupp and John Brunner were demonstrating their Gudebrod Audio 3T12V preamplifier and AC/120/3 line filters to the Chicago Audio Society with a pristine pair of Sonus Faber Amati Olympica 3 speakers.

It was early spring when I received a WK Audio record clamp to review. Designed and handbuilt by Plichtow, Poland Architect Witold (“Witek”) Kaminski, 45, who owns WK Audio, it seems fitting that the results of his laborious testing resembles a miniature 21st Century spin on a Mesopotamian tower. As with his power cords, anti-vibration platforms and accessories, they are the result of long, laborious hours of testing.
After opening the package, I show it to my wife, Belle, who remarks, “Oh, that’s beautiful!” I am pleasantly surprised, as some of the equipment and acoustic treatments that have graced our family room (which doubles as my “man cave”) have been less well received. |
