GK-1EL (Entry Level)
Sonically stratospheric, the GK-1 builds on lessons learned in the TLP and power amplifier development. It delivers stunning engagement and extraordinary musicality, comparing favorably with the top names in high end. The entry level version includes all analogue componentry, two grain-oriented power transformers for the ultimate in channel separation, all fasteners, nuts and bolts, tubes, sockets, active and passive components. The potentiometer is a very high quality dual gang cermet, enabling the music to shine through.

GK-1M (Manual Source Selection)
The GK-1M uses identical analogue circuitry to the GK-1EL and thus enjoys identical sonic performance with all GK-1s, but adds full manual source selection. One of five sources may be selected; DVD, CD, Tuner, Auxiliary and Phono. The phono, suitable for MM with 47K input impedance, is a $AUD210 option. The input/output RCA connections are integral with the switching pcb, and a Lorlin high quality four pole switch is used for source selection. Interconnections are all high quality CAT5E teflon coated solid copper wire, and LEDs indicate which source is selected. Mute and Home Theater Bypass functions are included, and there is provision for an (unfiltered) sub-woofer output bypassing the tube. A phonograph option, specifically designed for 47K MM cartridges, is available for an additional $AUD210. The phono option has been widely praised for extraordinary sound stage and the pleasing and subtle way it deals with the clicks and plops which are an inevitable problem with the vinyl medium.
All components, including switches, RCAs (gold flashed), pcbs, wire, semiconductors, capacitors and resistors are included in this kit. Instructions are comprehensive, with many photographs and diagrams.

VSONICS (NEW: released July 08)
Spectacular two way transmission line speaker with fully built and tested two way passive crossovers, forward firing vent and small size for apartments and flats. This speaker has extraordinary resolution and imaging, and a wonderful, almost subliminal bass which only TLs can do. It will play loud or soft, rock or acoustic, choir or single vocal.

The VSonics were more than twelve months in the development and designed by Laurie Menogue, a profoundly experienced veteran of TL design since the sixties.

The kit comes with all fasteners for a stereo pair, grill cloth, wiring, binding posts, some stuffing, and comprehensive instructions. You will need to buy carpet offcuts for lining the enclosure, four drivers, and timber. This loudspeaker has been developed painstakingly, with infinite attention to the fine detail. The refinement is astonishing, with exhilirating performance from a small enclosure just 9" wide, 3' tall and 17" deep. These loudspeakers are suitable for almost any room, being deep yet forward firing; they deliver spectacular dynamics, wonderful, emotive bass and midrange, with imaging and resolution to die for. These are a musicians speaker, with stunning emotional engagement, offering breathtaking realism and resolution. Recommended for any serious audiophile or musician!.

HOLOGRAM III - Power supply for SB/Duet
This is a revolutionary new product, an error feedforward correction power supply for the Squeezebox III (5V) and the Duet (9V). These are respectively rated at 755mA and 560mA respectively. The power supply is current limited, and will operate from any mains voltage around the world.

This product has been developed over a period approaching a year and is a highly refined power supply which confers almost supernatural improvements to the sound of the Logitech Music Servers.

The Hologram III principle of operation is different to almost any other power supply in the audio arena. Input conversion is by SMPS, with a pre-regulator, and an active output regulator. The output voltage is driven by current draw, and pre-programmed. This confers a dynamic, vital sound like nothing you have ever heard from these products, with a vitality and powerful dynamic which is utterly remarkable. AB tests against the stock wall wart are chalk and cheese; if ever there was a power supply test to demonstrate sonic improvements, this is it.......
