** ESTATE SALE ** With the recent passing of chief designer Fumio Ohashi, we are handling the disposition of all remaining BAlabo inventory. Both new and demo units are available in either 115 V or 230 V operation. Power cord included. This listing is for a new, in the box unit with a 3 year warranty. Worldwide service will be handled by PureAudio, LLC in the United States. The award-winning BAlabo BC-1 MK II control amplifier is an industrial design masterpiece and a rare find on Audiogon. The BC-1 MK II has a sound that is rich and full-bodied with layers of depth in the mid-range unfolding into textures and colors galore. Bass is articulate and tuneful, highs are airy and smooth without a trace of etch. Add to that, top to bottom coherence and you are starting to get the picture. The BC-1 MK II has won many Best Sound awards at both CES and Newport shows including; CES 2012 from Jonathan Valin at Absolute Sound and CES 2013 and from Greg Weaver at positive Feedback. "...without question the best sounding system I had the pleasure of listening to at this year's combined CES/T.H.E. Show was found in the Perfect 8/BAlabo room, in 29-222. "This system really delivered; bone crushing dynamics, superb coherence, ruthlessly musical resolution, captivating presence, and an unquestionably truthful timbre. Tonal color and texture were convincingly rich and vibrant, and musical involvement was eerily honest, bordering on downright revelatory. "This system had the ability to recreate the scale of the music in a remarkably accurate manner, yet it was able to serve up the nuances and subtleties with uncanny, unnerving realism. This system very nearly breathed life into the music it reproduced." - Greg Weaver, Senior Editor, Positive Feedback ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• CES 2012 Best Sound of Show - BAlabo and Perfect8 'The Point' Loudspeaker "The Points disappeared more completely than any other loudspeaker at this year's CES (and consequently made voices and instruments sound more "there" than anything else). There was absolutely no sense of driver or box on any cut. The Points were being driven-beautifully-by BAlabo electronics." - Jonathan Valin, Executive Editor, Absolute Sound Power amplifier, BP-1 MK-II and DAC, BD-1 are also available. No trades.
