“Michael along with Benno Baun Meldgaard of gamuT, one of the top engineers in high-performance audio, today, achieved the best sound I experienced at the RMAF 2016 without rival.
We played Vanessa Fernandez’s “Here but I’m Gone” and the soundstage was huge; the integration flawless – tight bass, multi-layered mids and highs. I’ll go as far as to say that anyone in the room at the time who was not moved by this session should just check in at the morgue. Clarity, musicality and depth of sound that was, and I believe, will be, nearly impossible to surpass. Room included GamuT electronics and Pear Audio turntable.”

“I think the word dynamic should be in all-capital letters. GamuT amps are heavy to lift and sport fist-sized industrial MOSFETS that can be romantic or rough on demand. Mostly, however, they just disappear.
The GamuT system featured their RS3i loudspeakers ($19,990) coupled to the M250i mono amps ($12,990/each) and the D3i Dual-Mono preamp ($8390)—and all cabling was by GamuT. But the part I loved best and the part that I sensed made the sound big and fast was: the Pear Audio Blue Kid Thomas turntable/Cornet 2 tonearm with external power supply ($9990), plus the Pear Audio Blue reference phono stage ($4495). All the good sounds were swept from those black grooves by the Ortofon Cadenza Black MC cartridge ($2750).”

“I loved the entire system immediately, like it was my own. But better. It was that sort of warm, nostalgic sound that made me feel at home. But better. With a deep, full bass, thick, creamy mid-layers, and the gentlest of highs, I realized: this is my favorite room of the show. But better. ”

“There are many systems that do piano pretty well, but fewer that deliver a tone that really makes you sit up and take notice. Harris, who was mounting a comeback after some fallow years, plays with expert touch and sophistication on this LP.
Whether it was the high-frequency reach of the RS3i transducers or the quality of the rest of the system (probably both), the tone and pace of Harris’ performance was impressive. Brown’s bass also was deep and tuneful, and drums had the impact of a live kit.
Overall, GamuT seemed to make a good argument for letting one brand (nearly) do it all.”
