New location: Televisieweg 60<\/h2>\n

A Tube High Fidelity is very proud to announce that as of November 2022 the company has moved into a detached and considerably larger location on the Televisionweg in Almere. Here the team will have the opportunity to present even more hi-fi and to expand their range. Additionally, they are able to deliver more from stock, and in general, provide even better customer support.<\/p>\n

I visited the new location during the Grand Opening on December 1st, 2022. Below is a selection of photos to illustrate the new premises. But of course, nothing beats a personal visit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was Champagne right at the entrance but I did not see anyone taking a glass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead, everyone was eager to visit the showrooms or hang out in the coffee bar section while discussing all matters audio:-).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Tube High Fidelity is proud to be the only dealer in the Netherlands that has the entire Heritage line available for demo, from Heresy to the Jubilee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is one of the main rooms on the ground floor. All four walls are covered with various brands of audio equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CD and LP shop<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Manley Absolute headphone amplifiers – this is a poster, but it’s almost real, isn’t it? Of course, A Tube sells the real deal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The staircase near the entrance leads to the second floor where even larger amounts of audio equipment can be found.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This cozy alcove between the staircase and the window is dedicated to a singular piece of audio equipment: the Sonus Faber Omnia wireless active speaker. Normally referred to as a sound bar, this piece of classy furniture can’t in all decency be called one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first room upstairs – I love the colors!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A nice aspect of A Tube is that they don’t only offer the familiar brands, but also relatively unknown products such as these interesting Horn Acoustic loudspeakers<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Advance Acoustics MyConnect 250 all-in-one, Hifi Rose streamer, and Sonus Faber speakers<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next: Second Floor with Klipsch Jubilee<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The largest room on the second floor presents the majestic Klipsch Jubilee loudspeakers<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rogoz rack is flanked by two massive Melody Audio 211 tube amplifiers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alas, one pair of these beauties cannot drive the Klipsch Jubilees due to the speakers’ active crossover. So, Stanly has two more Melody amps on order. For now, the speakers had to “make do” with a JBL Synthesis power amp, kindly on loan from their neighbor Michael of Reference Sounds. See also the HFA Company Visit<\/a> (old location) or the Wilson Alexx V review<\/a> (for a glance at the new showroom)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Klipsch active crossover and Bryston BR-20 preamp, DAC, and streamer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I absolutely LOVE the VU meters on the wall. Yeah, no, they don’t actually move;-) On the table is an Ayon Stealth preamp. See also the HFA review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A pair of Wilson Benesch Endeavour monitor speakers flank a massive Rogoz audio rack filled with finger-licking nice pieces of audio equipment. There’s Aavik, Western Electric, Melody Audio, Audio Research, Marantz, and the relatively new Japanese Brand Soul Note.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new location offers various exciting views from one room to the next. When walking from room to room, one gets a feeling of traversing some kind of audio Walhalla :-).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A pair of Focal loudspeakers leading the way into the next area<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a very cool real-life cross-section of a Klipschhorn<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The end of the hall leads to the final room, a dedicated home cinema. This was one of the sections that the boys could not get entirely finished ahead of the opening. Still, everything was functional and it was nice to find that the room was comfortingly damped, but not overly so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you think you’ve covered all rooms, then there’s one more…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behind this cabinet wall is a very comfortable dedicated B\u00f8rresen room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The B\u00f8rresen 01 monitor speakers (HFA review forthcoming) were connected to Esoteric electronics in a Rogoz audio rack. To the sides is a pair of B\u00f8rresen 02 loudspeakers<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Esoteric K-03 CD player<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Esoteric N-05XD streamer\/preamp<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Esoteric S-05 stereo power amplifier<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only area left out in this report is what one could call the central area of A Tube High Fidelity: the coffee bar! While there was no audio equipment there, this is where all the spirited conversations take place.<\/p>\n

By all means, go get your cup of coffee at A Tube High Fidelity! The ambiance is great, and so is the coffee!<\/p>\n
