Klangschloss 2024 - Sound Castle 2024

Time just flies...

… and there it is again standing in front our door! The Klangschloss 2024 on the Weekend of April 12th to 14th. It is for sure our favoured annual event for our Retailers and their customers. Every year we design as every year a new concept to support a local retailer representing most of our presented brands on the show.

This year we will partner up with Stenheim and promote our Retailer in Zurich, Cuel HiFi. The Partnership with Cuel is rather a recent one and only 3 years old but it is one with a lot of fun and potential. Besides a lot of other Brands,  CUEL represents MELCO, ALLUXITY, TORUS POWER, CORD COMPANY CABLES & STENHEIM wich we will have on Demo.

New will also be the launch of our new Baby  HARMONIC RESOLUTION SYSTEMS (HRS) with their amazing Racks and Accessories.

As every year we like to invite some good friends with a lot of knowledge they will share on specific demonstrations with you:

Alex Bell from Stenheim Speakers Switzerland & Andy Moore from Audio Digital Music Master representing Melco Audio and ADOT Fibre Solutions will be with us during the whole show. Beat Schmid and/or Stefan Jenny from CUEL HiFI will be also here to support their local customers.

My lovely wife Yvonne and myself are looking forward to see you all there!

NEW English Electric EE1 - Now in Stock!

High-performance network noise isolator

The English Electric EE1 network noise isolator is designed to sit discreetly between ethernet cables within a streaming audio/video system and can drastically reduce noise whilst allowing digital signals to pass unhindered.

Digital signals are robust but are often accompanied by a degree of noise, usually transferred from home network devices.

The EE1, like the EE 8Switch and 16Switch, continues our efforts to prevent noise from affecting music/image data and system performance.

In-line network noise reduction for streaming media

  • Self-powered – converts unwanted noise to heat
  • Targeted filtering reduces damaging network noise
  • Galvanic isolation blocks low-frequency noise, reduces high-frequency noise but maintains data quality
  • Discreet yet powerful and easy to install
  • Multiple EE1 units within a network can bring further improvements

Cost incl. VAT: 295.- (ex shipping)
Includes a 0.75m c-Stream cable worth CHF 75.-

Vertere Audio & Chord Company Cables at the Verbier Classics Festival 2023

Post from July 2023

We are very proud to announce that we have been invited to be part of the annual Verbier Classics Festival 2023 from Saturday night to Sunday night. Together with our local partners we will be playing records on their great audiophile system. Guests will be able to listen to their favourite music after the concert while having a drink and something to eat.

We will be playing on a Vertere MG1 with its Reference Motor Drive RG1, The SG1 MKII Tonearm and the Phono 1 MKII L Phonostage. All connected on Chord Company Sarum, Sarum Power Array Professional and PowerHaus M6 Mainsbar. https://www.verbierfestival.com/en/

Launch of New Melco N1 S38 Flagship

The new ground-up design is based around a new platform, with a new chassis and casework, plus new power supplies. It offers a previously unreached performance level. A full-width design, the all-new N1-S38 distils Melco’s decades-long digital music storage, transfer and playback knowledge into an advanced new flagship with great new features.

The N1-S38 benefits from a totally new set of system electronics, a new mainboard, plus a new mains transformer, supply and local regulators.

An audio-specific custom 3.84 TB SSD drive, which benefits from Melco’s proprietary layered, rigid SSD mounter, is directly connected to the data path without any intervening RAID controller; on-board memory is increased, too.

Hand-made in Japan, in line with all of Melco’s uncompromising digital libraries, the N1-S38 is the first all-new Melco design since the half-width N10 and N100 series launched in 2018.

The all-new N1-S38 builds on Melco’s proven, unique architecture which carefully transports delicate signal data while avoiding noisy high-speed elements and fast processors.

We are traditional & passioned!

Established in 1979

GrammoFile’s passion is dedicated to small handmade audio brands. Many of them are British and produced in the majority by family businesses like we are one too. Some have been on the market and with us for over forty years. We like to work the old traditional way with time, passion and a lot of commitment to each single brand. But we are also very well placed when it’s about new Network-technologies and Multimedia. There is not just “analogue” or “digital”, we want to make sure both are treated the same way. Today we face the fact that also the digital technologies need as much commitment to optimize as the analogue world does. So we will be able to help when it is about setting up a turntable correctly, making sure the tube amplifier is doing his job or if you like to synchronise your Melco Servers between your two houses. To help our partners is all about knowing every single product we distribute. It’s just like adjusting perfectly the strings on an Violin…

Our Selection is Handmade!

Each product in our Portfolio can be used by its own. In most cases it can also be combined with one of our other brands. This allows us on one side to optimize the customers existing system but also to build specific valuable concepts with the certainty that they are unique. Some of our retailers wich have been with us for many years are committing to us exactly due to this advantage and the Know-how that we can support them with.
