June 4-7 we exhibit at the High End Society Vienna High End show, the successor of the Munich High End show. The Munich show was world famous, attracting visitors from all continents, and we had exceptionally great succes there. But the M,O,C, hall went out of business and High End Society moved to Vienna. Like everyone in the industry, we will need to reinvent ourselves a bit in the new venue. But we look forward to that a lot and have prepared some great surprises for our audience, so make sure to give us a visit at our booth & large sound cabin M01 in Hall X4.

Our main introduction at this show is the PA1 mono-block amplifier. It just received its own web page, with lots of background information. This amplifier is truly sensational in every sense. Most importantly, its sound clearly carries the Grimm Audio signature. Our engineers managed “to blend authority with grace”.

The PA1 can drive very complex loads and has fabulous bass control. At the same time it sounds delicate and smooth in the mids and highs, with a naturalness often only experienced with the best tube based designs. As always, we wanted the looks of the product to match the sound quality level. In our opinion industrial designer Michiel Uylings really surpassed himself with his PA1 design…

Don’t forget to give us a visit. No doubt you will be amazed by the PA1, the MU2 as its source, and more…

Some speakers impress. Others disappear.

The Kii SEVEN does something rarer — it gets out of the way entirely.

In a recent Qobuz review, it’s described as “staggeringly detailed, agile, and convincing” — but what that really means is this:

You’re no longer listening to speakers.
You’re inside the music.

Every layer feels exposed. Every nuance arrives intact. Nothing added, nothing exaggerated — just a level of clarity and control that makes even familiar tracks feel newly discovered.

It’s not about volume.
It’s not about hype.

It’s about truth.

And somehow, despite all that performance, it still manages to feel like a system you can actually live with — not just admire.

The future of listening isn’t coming.
It’s already here.

‘What I love about Mola Mola’s Tambaqui is its unmistakable identity. From its unique design language, bespoke architecture, and focused feature set, it doesn’t try to be all things to all people. But it’s perfect for those who, like me, use only Roon. And while choices of digital filters and upsampling paths might have been nice, I willingly defer to Bruno Putzeys & Co. to make those tactical decisions for me. This DAC’s incredibly revealing, impressively lifelike sound was beyond reproach, and its included headphone output is a nice touch.

Mola Mola’s Tambaqui isn’t the fanciest or the most feature-rich DAC available today, but is it one of the best DACs I’ve ever heard?

Yes, yes, it is.’
