Jornadas Alta fidelidad en Telde. Rafael Labs XXX

On March 2nd, we had the pleasure of participating in the presentation held in Telde by Rafael Espinosa. Rafael is a craftsman and high-fidelity enthusiast who has developed a set of three-way, high-efficiency speakers, the Rafael Labs XXX. Rafael's curiosity and perfectionism have led him to create a power strip with spectacular wood aesthetics and finishes. Using top-level Furutech NCF connectors and Acoustic Revive internal wiring, the performance of this power strip is magnificent. Rafael Espinosa also developed the acoustic treatment for the room. The result of this treatment is exceptional, evident as soon as you enter the room, with voices being perceived clearly and naturally. The measurements we conducted confirmed that the speaker measurements in near-field and listening point were practically identical.

We had the pleasure of testing for the first time in the Canary Islands the Audio Analogue Maestro RR, the latest version of this integrated amplifier from the prestigious Italian manufacturer, which incorporates a new preamp section with volume control made with high-quality resistors, dispensing with the conductive plastic potentiometer typically included in other designs.

Also presented was the Audio Analogue AAPhono phono preamplifier, Tellurium Q Statement RCA interconnect cables, and Tellurium Q Silver and Tellurium Q Ultra Black II power cables.

Finally, as a novelty, a complete streaming system was also presented, which included the Eversolo DMP-6 Master Edition as the streamer, and two devices from Ediscreation, the Fiber Box II and the Silent switch OCXO, both connected with Tellurium Q Black Diamond Ethernet cable, resulting in simply spectacular sound in the streaming section.

We congratulate Rafael Espinosa on the impressive leap in sound quality achieved over the past year.

Below, we present a gallery of images of the listening room.
