Sehr Gutes wurde noch weiter verbessert.

After the large success of our tube headphone system "harmony" continuing for many years with that harmony II in sound, Design and concept a further increase was created. In all substantial points the harmony II on the proven concept harmony develops. The technical conception is a tube headphone system of the extra class on the masses 43.5 x 6 x 26 cm, which internally single-end triode system as double mono block functioned. With paged out plug power pack with high-quality, gilded XLR connection technology 4 triodes produce an extremely airy, spatial and particularly pleasant sound. The characteristic harmony of the II is also as with harmony apart from the volume - the Voicing regulation. Outgoing from a linear position, more Headroom and spatialness can be adjusted steplessly here. The entrance section is extremely high impedance and can be supplied with jedwedem LINE level signal without sound loss its at parallel switched gilded Chinchbuchsenpaar. It is so possible to grind through or e.g. after a preamplifier or a Recording Out attach the system e.g. directly after a CD Player before the preamplifier to operate or however with a CD Player etc. as condition alone. Headphone upper section can be attached either by means of the standardized kopfhoerersteckers 6,3mm handle or in the case our very high-quality headphone with better gilded XLR connecting cable, which is extendable to 8 m. Headphone upper section is open to carry super+easy and by soft ear cushions extremely pleasantly. With the unchanged price of 749, - the system beeinhaltet both plug power pack, and headphone upper section by means of gilded XLR plug + extension (insgesammt 6 m) and all necessary leads. Although the handmade quality and particularly also the sound and the airyness exactly of the Reussenzehn of headphone co-ordinated for it is not to be over-bid practically, at us the question is near-carried for years whether an already existing e.g. AKG headphone, etc. at the headphone amplifier harmony would not sound better. In order to facilitate for the customers with a possible doubt the decision, this can give after purchase harmony II of the system headphone upper section by means of gilded XLR extension against a back invoice amount of 125, - within 2 weeks at us back, after he possibly felt its own headphones for better.

Not only the unusual sound characteristics harmony, but also the fact that this headphone system without radio waves works and only with small tensions it found, to a substantial establishment within the medical profession, which began the tube headphones for the pleasant healing of patients. See reference list.

Please absolutely note that a headphone system serves electromagnetic radiations primarily of the relaxation and the Relaxen and is suspended you today more than ever by means of Handys, ect.. Therefore it is particularly detrimental your health within a relaxation phase to load itself the brain between the headphone shells with further radio waves. From further medical reasons is to be excluded the volume harmony of the II on 1,8 V EFF limited around possible hearing damages by deliberate or negligent false adjustment of the volume from the beginning. The emphasis with the construction harmony of the II lay primarily during the audiophilen relaxation and not during to loud rendition of music and from this the following overstimulation of the drum skin.

The front plate harmony of the II was worked out from 4 mm strong solid material (aluminum manganese) and is increased by the highly polished "chrome Design front" and solid turned and gilded brass buttons valuable.

Okay, because KR's Babelfish translation is not too easy to read, here's a translation by someone who actually speaks German (me):

After a year-long wait, the "Harmony" tube-headphone-amplifier-series have been moved up a notch in sound, design, and concept with the introduction of the Harmony 2. In every respect, the Harmony 2 builds on the well-known concepts in the Harmony 1. The end result is a tube headphone amplifier of extra class, measuring 43.5x6x36cm that contains a dual-monoblock single-ended triode system. With delivered(?) power-plugs and gold-plated XLR-connections, the 4 triodes achieve an extremely airy, roomy and very comfortable sound. The special quality of the Harmony 2 is the same as the Harmony 1; a voicing regulator. Using a linear adjuster, you can smoothly add headroom and roominess. The input section is very high impendince and can function with any line-level signal without any loss of sound quality and can be switched between parallel gold-plated jacks(?). In this way, it is possible to connect this amplifier direct to a CD player in front of the preamp or after a preamp or tape-out, or you could run the headphone amplifier directly from the CDP in a stand-alone config. The headphone output can either use standard 6.3mm (1/4", AFAIK) plugs or use our very high quality headphones with better gold-plated XLR plugs, whose cords can be extended to 8 meters. The headphones are open, very light, and use soft earpads to achieve extreme comfort for the wearer. For the same price as our earlier model (749 euros), the system includes the power pack, headphone top-end with gold-pated XLR plugs and extension, and other necessary cables. Although the handmade quality and especially the sound and airyness that exactly matches the Reussenzehn headphones cannot be overstated,
we are constantly asked if not perhaps a more well known headphone, such as one from AKG, might not sound better. In order to satisfy customers who have trouble deciding, the included headphones with XLR extensions can be returned for a restocking fee of 125 euros within 2 weeks of purchase if the customer likes his own headphones better.

[paragraphs cut because it isn't really important and just mentions that tube audio was invented by doctors to heal patients, and that the volume of the Harmony 2 is limited to 1.8V to prevent hearing damage]

The front-plate of the Harmony 2 was machined out of 4mm-thick aluminum/manganese alloy and is chrome-plated. The massive knobs are solid, and have been lathe-turned out of brass and are gold-plated.



In short, it's a tube Blockhead.
