Ansuz Rezonator announced

[daverich4]

I assume everyone wants the best sound and will purchase the Supreme. Only $5,600.

Thanks but I will pass as that is $2,000 more than I paid for my entire audio / video / computer system.

 

I am curious what makes this worth $5,600, see picture.

It's 100% titanium! I have the tea-towel option and am quite happy with the performance, Teresa.

In case of REZONATOR T2, I agree - it's just titanium with glass-blasted finish:

OTOH in case of REZONATOR T2 S (SUPREME), I think the price is more than justified after all it's 'pure glass-blasted titanium with a finish of an acoustically optimized coating of zirconium, tungsten, and aluminum titanium nitride' (I'm slightly disappointed they didn't add some Swarovski crystals to the coating though..):

 

Anyway even without the crystals this one must sound waaaaay better!

 

Waiting for comparative listening tests..

At least now we know what the Utah Monolith is made of and who took it !!!

 

 

Best,

People in Japan know Zirconium, especially its reduction-oxidation chemical reaction, when pressure vessel temperature exceeds 2800 ℃, Zirconium coating of Uranium pellets is oxidized with water vapor and it produces Hydrogen molecules, it leads to hydrogen explosion 🙂

 

Zr + 2H₂O → ZrO₂ + 2H₂

Is that to go on top of their $14,000 Ethernet switch—the one with a $20 Mean Well SMPS module and a $1 clock crystal?

Absolute Sound?  More like Absolute BS.  They should be ashamed to "print" such crap.

Is he related to the Nine Inch Nails guy?

You may not like his ouevre, but the guy (Trent Reznor) is a perfectionist in everything he does.
I doubt very much he would care about such a device...

[MarkusBarkus]

...au contraire, mon ami. Although I prefer hors d'oeuvres to Trent's oeuvre, Pretty Hate Machine, may be a chef d'oeuvre, and was truly definitive. Yeah, he probably wouldn't care about such a thing. He is known to be a stickler for audio quality, right?

Prior to my seeing him in the credits of the new film "Mank" (about screenwriter of Citizen Kane), I did not realize that Mr. Reznor had such an extensive soundtrack filmography. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722153/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

C'mon Alex. As a businessman, you know that a company has to keep costs down in order to make a profit. 😀
