AVID
The product that launched the AVID brand, over a decade ago, onto the world hi-fi scene was the critically acclaimed Acutus turntable. For the many experts and enthusiasts who have subsequently lived with this turntable, it was the start of a journey to reconnect with their music collection. Time, however, marches onward and a decade is a long time in the life of an engineering company.

Audiodesksysteme
Reiner Gläss isn't an inventor in the typical abstract meaning of the word. He's not the "Gyro Gearloose" kind of guy. Reiner Gläss is very down-to-earth. He lives and works in Baden Württemberg.
With his natural curiosity and alert mind Reiner Gläss analyses the facts that most people simply take for granted. These characteristics follow a clear principle that is followed by an efficient procedure: What begins with a basic research leads to a prototype that is the base for later serial production.
The mainly agriculture-based Baden-Württemberg always seems to have been a fertile breeding ground for researchers and developers. Just think of names like Bosch or Daimler and numerous other engineers, technicians and craftsmen that emerged from this region. Maybe it is the specific Swabian mixture of sobriety, inventiveness and entrepreneurial courage that has inspired Reiner Gläss to design unique products and to market them successfully – worldwide!

Kirmuss Audio
The experience over many years of using Ultra-sonic cleaning systems in the Electronics Industry, provided us with the background knowledge to bring an affordable, safe and effective Cleaner to the Record market. We used real Science to do this.
Three years of testing, measuring and evaluating how Ultra-sonics clean records have brought to you our ground breaking system. The following provides a brief oversight into why and how we came up with the KirmussAudio System.
The KirmussAudio System has the records spaced at the correct distance. To clean effectively records must be spaced to allow safe and effective cleaning, too close and cleaning will not be up to the wax line. The Frequency and Power transmitted by the Ceramic Sonic Transducers and their resulting Cavitation effect has to be taken into consideration with the proximity of the records to one another.
Kirmuss thus Engineered a system where Four Records are safely and properly cleaned, cleaning all the grooves, without wetting the label. Four records safely and securely suspended correctly in a stainless steel bath along with 6 litres of Distilled Water, with 40 ml of Isopropyl Alcohol 70%.
KOETSU
This series started with the older long-bodied Onyx but was expanded to feature cartridge bodies crafted from other exotic materials like Jade, Tiger Eye, Bloodstone and Coral. With the exception of the older long-bodied Onyx, all the cartridges in this series utilize the top end Platinum-alloy cores and silver-clad wires.
A craftsman carefully selects a block of material for its natural grain. The block is then machined into its final form and meticulously polished to a high gloss finish. The process is painstakingly slow as care is required so as not to fracture the material.
The use of mineral (stone) bodies makes these the heaviest of all the Koetsu cartridges.
The benefits of using mineral (stone) bodies are evident. Coupled with the Platinum-alloy cores, these cartridges are capable of producing an airy soundstage with extended high frequencies. Micro detail retrieval is superlative.
Even for a 'jaded' Koetsu user like myself, it still leaves me with goosebumps each time I listen to one.
