Kudos 505s are very fine speakers. Had a pair and loved them.

Agree the rack looks very nice, I did not know they had this.
2 of them next to each other in T2 extreme trim, is the price of the BMW S 1000 RR motorbike, I would tend to swing in that direction

I think their business model is very high MSRP and then offer great deals to their customer. Everyone likes a good deal or?

Just another happy Ansuz-user overhere!
Yes, their official pricing looks way over the top, but likewise their discount can also be quite generous, as you’ve experienced yourself.
The previous line-up was recently nearly fully replaced by a new third one. F.i. A2 → A3.
This has led to pretty nice discounts at some dealers.
Overhere specifically the introduction of the C2 mains power cord onto my Naim XPSDR (external powersupply for the Naim NDX2) was breathtaking! Enjoy your audio-stuff😉.

That is the motor for innovation on which they do a good job I think. The prices are high, but so is the quality they offer. I am very happy with the products I have from them and will invest in more products.
But first,…the bike😉

I agree and don’t get me wrong, if the quality is delivered I also do not mind paying. However, I do take exception to some other brands who seem to put ridiculous price tags on things that don’t deliver. It feels like they just charge a high price because they know people will pay. Anyway, like your good self and others on this thread, I’m very happy with Ansuz as the benefits they tout are real

I do have my eye on some C2 cables but funds are depleted for now… Good to know the impact they could have though. Thanks for sharing your experience

Would love to hear your thoughts on XLR cables? I cannot get my hands on any. I tried RCA on my Selekt and wasn’t that impressed.
Enjoy the weekend!

I actually chose C2 RCA RCA over D2 DIN DIN in my system. I’ve seen few others that prefer C2 over D2 too. In this case they were quite different sounding with C2 being more organic and D2 more surgical. But with a full loom of C/D or higher it might have been different.
I preferred A2 digital on my streamer until I got A3 power cord on the switch. Then C2 just snapped in place and sounded glorious. It’s tricky taking small steps when the synergy clicks in when you have more of the same.

Are you happy with A3 Speakz? What are you comparing against?
I’ve been in the camp talking negative about Ansuz pricing too. That was before I said “well let’s try them and see”. That was it. They are unique performers IMO. Both build and sound quality. And their support is wonderful too so if any questions just drop them an email.

Hi, it sounds like you’ve caught the bug too! I’ll definitely let you know how I get on. I’m planning to pick them up next weekend

Currently running Atlas Ailsa Achromatic speaker cables. I will hold on to my conclusions for now, need more critical listening which I’m planning to do this weekend in peace.
I’ll post my impressions.
We all agree that it’s obvious Ansuz is about synergy which in the end allows for a single component to be a SQ “force multiplier”. The impact of this component teamwork is seriously impressive! But on other hand deadly for our wallets.

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing your impressions.
I like this description of it being a multiplier effect. That had definitely been my experience over the last week or so since I got my C2 block and X2 mains cables. Everything just came alive with such detail, sparkle and presence it is hard to really describe the impact.
Impressions on the XLRs to follow next weekend

I stopped reading at €97.429,95 for a 3 metre pair! Wow

Though I was not the intended person for this question. My answer is know. I am very sure this would not be allowed by the owner of my flat anyway. Also Uk mains is as I understand it very different to Uk mains arrangement.
I almost took a punt on an Ansuz A2 switch that was on the bay the other day but by the time I’d lined a couple of things up it had gone. I should have been a bit more impulsive!

Yep, I thought about that one too!!! I have a alert set for any new listings that come up but they rarely seem to…a good indication of the product quality - people hardly sell and only do if they are upgrading to the next model. That was the case with my switch, mains block and speaker cables.

A friend of mine went from A2 to D2 and said it was a dramatic step forward. Unfortunately as with most things HIFI done right climbing the portfolio will provide better results. You know this of course
