Best wishes for 2026.

When music emotion transports us like Clare Torry's voice in "the great gig in the sky" Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, the power of her voice, its clarity must be restored with precision, strength and naturalness. Nowadays, the most used and efficient source is dematerialized music (like in studios or recording labels), it requires still a lot of technology in 2026 to get rid of the imperfections of restitution. Ethernet cables, linear power supplies, switches and optical transmission.

REIKI AUDIO From Leicesteshire design and build in England the Optical Bridge. Many versions, standard or PRO with linear PSU or PRO extreme with 4 boxes. Musical improvement in over what we could achieve in the past from SFP+ couplers + fiber or optical after USB between source and DAC.

I tested REIKI AUDIO Optical Bridge Pro seriously before decision to sell it and include it as permanent part of our demo system.

ALSYVOX

PHP AUDIO is the first European dealer of the famous ribbon panels, always in the firmament of the transducers regardless of their technology.

Standard or upgraded with external filter cables like ALSYVOX Omega Audio micro extra or Pranawire Nirvana XLS L2 or RB one, OMICRON X4 or HARMONIX supports placed under the filters, music is reproduced with a magical sense of reality.

But beware of Scams. A German seller (in fact a Swiss audio manufacturer) tries to sell ALSYVOX Tintoretto that have more than 6 years old, 3rd hand by announcing that they are 3 years old, second hand and under warranty, price new of €115k (2026 rate), 2019 rate was less than €100k. Not only they are 6 years old (manufacturer information), they are not under warranty. Filters are the oldest version without major advances done in 2023 and 2024.

It is better to buy at an official dealer, we answer any questions about our brands, age, origin, warranty, evolutions, and the price is not higher.
