Continuing with our mission to bring you, the discerning listener, the finest performing equipment at all price levels, we proudly introduce the CD3.1x/II, our latest Level Two integrated CD player.

Those of you who visited us at the Las Vegas Show, and on Saturday at the recent London High Fidelity Show at Heathrow, can testify as to just how impressive this one box machine can be.

Available as always with brushed aluminum fascia or the classic black acrylic.

Following the great success of the relaunched AZ range of loudspeakers, Audio Note (UK) have decided to relaunch their smaller brothers, the AX models. Offering superb performance for their incredibly modest price, the AX designs are perfect for those looking for a very compact bookshelf or standmount 'speaker.

Prepare to be amazed!

Any of you who have visited us at recent Shows will now be familiar with the JINRO, our latest integrated amplifier. It features exactly the same circuit found in the legendary ONGAKU, but utilises copper instead of silver for all transformer windings etc.

Offering 27 watts in pure class A, the JINRO thoroughly deserves the title 'Baby ONGAKU'.

Audio Note have decided to reintroduce the highly affordable AZ loudspeaker range, beginning with the AZ-TWO and AZ-THREE models.

Both are floorstanding, rear loaded, folded quasi parabolic horn designs with rear facing ports, and use two drive units per cabinet. They are highly efficient and offer partnering amplifiers with a very easy load, making them the perfect choice for any of the Audio Note designs.

The quest for an affordable, compact, high sensitivity, wide frequency response loudspeaker to suit real world rooms resulted in Audio Note reinvestigating the principles of rear loaded horn cabinet design. The product of this research is the redesigned AZ range, that not only redefines the quality / price ratio, but also offers an emotionally engaging performance that is in a class of its own.

The new generation models feature greatly improved cabinet construction and finish, a very easy 6 ohm load, efficiency in the 93 - 94dB region, and are available in a variety of finishes.

The ANKORU is reborn! Please welcome the ANKORU/II!

45 Watts of 211 powered, Class A parallel single ended authority and finesse, a rare and beautiful combination.

In our continuing mission to constantly improve our products, we have discovered a modification for the power supplies of the M3, M5, M6 and M8 pre amplifiers.

It is a very simple but thoroughly worthwhile modification. Please contact us via e-mail , and we can send you the appropriate information.

So said Y.K. Chan in the AUDIOPHILE magazine.

He further praised the cables: Excellent transparency and musical detail and Rich and velvet-like string and vocal adding ... Never in my experience that an A.C. power cable can create so beautiful music. Incredible!

He summed up the SOGON with these words: AUDIO NOTE reveal to us that a correct designed A.C. power cable can bring our music enjoyment to the unknown high boundary.

We completely agree! Thank you Sir!

The discerning and obviously highly intelligent people at Image HiFi Magazine in Germany have awarded the TT1 a 'Best Buy' recommendation in their annual awards issue

Good news for all REGA TT owners! It is possible to use the superb Audio Note acrylic platters - as utilised on the TT1 and TT2 - with Rega turntables, which will offer an instant and dramatic improvement over the stock glass or MDF versions.

We can supply a pair of 'O' rings with each platter that will centre it on the REGA sub platter, as illustrated above.

If ultimate power and control is what you crave, then there is only one solution... A pair of Gaku-on.

Based around the circuit developed for the Ankoru/II, the Gaku-on takes performance to a new level, Producing 45 Watts in pure Class A from a pair of 211 triodes, and utilising silver wherever possible.

The CDT5 represents an unparalleled level of performance and development in the world of Red Book CD playback. There is, quite simply, nothing else in production that achieves this level of performance from the humble silver disc.

Sporting an incredible complement of design innovations, this really is the ultimate in the world of CD Transports.

Specifications include: -

• Valve digital output stage
• Valve rectified power supply
• Custom designed and manufactured Output Transformer
• Sprung sub chassis mounted, custom modified Philips CD Pro2LF transport mechanism
• All silver wired
• Full loaded with Black Gate capacitors
• PALLAS cable used for internal digital signal transfer

Available with brushed aluminium or black acrylic facia.

The new version of the Zero range is now available!

Consisting of the 9 watts per channel I Zero integrated amplifier, the CD Zero one box player, the CDT Zero/II transport, the DAC0.1x and the R Zero phonostage, the range not only offers performance unrivalled at this price-point, but the elegant looks and superb build quality one would expect from Audio Note.

Available with either brushed aluminium facias or the classic black acrylic.

With 120 strands of pure silver in each conductor, split between 3 different wire gauges to further enhance signal transfer behaviour, SOOTTO rewrites much of what interconnects are supposed to do, its clarity and dynamic differentiation almost defies what one would have thought possible.

Being of litz construction, our interconnects have a higher capacitance than some. This is not an issue in most circumstances, however, between the high impedance secondary of our moving coil transformers (100k Ohm) and the pre-amplifier input, the cable needs to have high transfer ability but with low capacitance.

So over the past few years we have worked on a low capacitance addition to our cable range. Dubbed 'Pallas' after the comet that gave name to the metal Palladium, it is a pure silver foil design which has a fine Palladium plating, an air dielectric within a Teflon tube which is then encased in silk, and finally covered with a protective, braided sheath.

It is available without a screen terminated with AN-P silver plated RCA plugs or screened with XLR plugs.

As it is incredibly time consuming to manufacture and completely had constructed, availability is somewhat limited!

It is often said that 'good things come to those who wait'...

Well, the wait is finally over, and it is very, very good. Audio Note have finally released their first dedicated mains cable, the SOGON.

Unlike most of the supposed 'high end' power cables that pollute the market, SOGON has been fully certified to meet all current European electrical safety standards, so not only is it exceptionally good from a sound quality perspective, it also won't invalidate your home insurance!

The new, flagship Step Up Transformer is now available!

AN-S9 is an incredible leap forward in performance, and is fitted as standard with Pallas output interconnects. Nothing will adequately prepare you for just how incredible this is, or how much more information it lets through.
