“Best Sound at CAS6”
Both Pear Audio Blue’s Kid Howard/Cornet 2 turntable/arm and Kid Thomas/Cornet 2 turntable and arm, was awarded Best Sound at CAS6 and each turntable was using Pear Audio Blue’s own phono stages. The Classic Phono served the Kid Howard, and the Reference 2-box phono stage served the Kid Thomas turntable.
“An LP of Bettye Lavette sounded fabulous, and everything else I heard on this system impressed similarly.”

Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound
“Driven by the latest GamuT DI150 Limited Edition integrated ($11,990), the (Larsen) Model 8 was positioned against the long wall and up close to listeners, but it still threw a lavishly detailed soundstage with clean images.”
