2008년 1월의 오라 노트...Amazing Aura...

After hearing the Stello stack, I thought I had heard it all. But in the next room, April Music President Simon K. Lee blew my mind even more with the one-piece Aura note Music Center ($1850). This little baby, available through a dealer network, even includes a USB port on back, a second USB memory stick port on the side, a built-in tuner, and two RCA inputs. Paired with the Aura speaker ($650/pr), the parallel single-ended MOSFET design (thank you, Nelson Pass) sounded a bit more mellow and soulful than the Stello stack. (It would have probably extended as low as that stack if it had been paired with the B&Ws).

Lee and I had a wonderful time playing Karina Gauvin\"s recording of Canteloube\"s Songs of the Auvergne. After he had copied down the record information so that he could buy a copy for himself, I followed up with soprano Kate Royal\"s miraculously poised, heartfelt rendition of Canteloube\"s \"La delaissado.\" Lee was astounded to learn that the beautiful, mature voice he had just heard was produced by a woman not yet 30.

April Music thus brought me two joys in one: fine sound, and the special communication between music lovers that transcends verbiage. If you\"re shopping for a bargain system, whether or not space is a consideration, by all means look here.

맨끝의 끝말 :

에이프릴뮤직은 내게 두가지의 기쁨을 주었다.

좋은 소리, 그리고 장황한 말을 뛰어넘는 진정한 음악을 사랑하는 사람들 간의 특별한 소통, 이 두가지이다.

소리와 소통!

간결하지만, 에이프릴이 추구하는 희망과 목표를 정확히 궤뚫었던 한마디였습니다.

그 당시의 오라노트가 이제 프리미어가 되고...또 마지막으로 진화되어 version 2가 되었습니다.

오늘, 오랜만에 하는 시청회인데...

그리 비싸지 않고 간결한 시스템이지만, 좋은 소리와 진정한 음악을 사랑하는 분들과의 소통의 장이

되었으면 하는 바램입니다.

그리고, 나아가서 제품들도 잘 팔려나갔으면 좋겠습니다.
