I got to know Volker Heinze through his blog, Truefi, which is a true oasis for those fascinated by vintage audio equipment made in Britain. His expert knowledge in the realm of Tannoy speakers, and especially the 15-inch Dual Concentric Alnico versions from the 1950s and 1960s, is simply astonishing.

The Review That Never Happened
I had a chance to try a new amplifier over the weekend, guys. It was a non-negative-feedback solid-state device in the price range slightly below €3k. I spotted it a long time ago after reading a rather positive review in a French magazine. I contacted the brand owner and asked if I could have one for a week to check how it would perform against my current tube amplifier. Although it was twice as expensive as my current one, I was quite sceptical about the transistor contender being able to outperform my tube Line Magnetic LM-211IA amp.
