The EnKlein Cables, Merrill Williams and Sutherland Engineering Room

Huge new products from Sutherland. They have expanded beyond phono preamplifiers to offer a new dual mono N-1 phono stage and linestage ($10,000) with Nixie tube display, a dual mono Reference phono preamplifier with external power supply ($TBA) and a dual mono Reference power amplifier ($TBA) with external power supply. The speakers are the Vandersteen Quattros ($7450).

Here’s a look at the N-1, inside and out.


 

The top box is the Reference phonostage and the bottom box is its matching power supply.

Likewise, the top box is the Reference power amplifier and the bottom box is its matching power supply.

A Meitner DAC II SE ($9000) was called into service for playback of computer audio files, but obviously everyone was more interested in vinyl playback on the Merrill Williams turntable ($4000).
