What have I not done to reproduce music in such a way that I am captured by it and emersed by it fully? I bought one of the best speakers that exists on this planet (Acapella Triolon Delta). Then the transistor was replaced by a complete tube electronic (2 Unison Smart 845 mit VV Mistery Two). I tried out all best cable brands. I did everything which was possible, nothing was irrational. I always made one more step in the right direction, but my sound system still refused to give me the ultimate kick. The solution was so near at hand - the SACD-Player had to be tuned! Half a year later (that's how long i had to wait to reach the status of an elite owner of a Swobi), i realised it was a big step but the goal was still far away. Why did I suddenly not like many of the pieces when listening to them, they failed to give the right expression. Had the many improvements made other weaknesses audible? I had fourty years of hifi (HighEnd) experience on my back and I felt no wiser! I had no other solutions at hand.

An appointment with Alfred Rudolph (Acapella) was necessary! He sat in my reclining chair for 3 hours not touching my equipment, not even the volume control or the set up of my speakers were corrected by him. He then lectured me on what happens when the electricity does not receive the ultimate contact when they are dirty (the public electricity net or the LF wires), how do Acapella bases act under the equipment?

Naturally 217.50 Euro is a high price for 3 mini bottles of Audiotop Connect cleaning detergent. But I had to know if it would work! Give me that stuff! I spent an entire weekend cleaning everything that even slightly comes in contact with electricity. I don't want to keep you waiting any longer - what happened next was just unbelievable! The instruments (voices) that I could only imagine before suddenly seemed tangible. Now all improvements became audible! This may sound like a fairy tale, yet this story really happened. To be continued...

After visiting the Audio Forum (Acapella) regularly for 22 years, luckily I live nearby. Every visit to Duisburg is much fun and you always leave the presentation with lots of new information. On our last visit we learnt that cleaning contacts and a cleaned CD with Audiotop Digital is a further step in the right direction. Used at home I can only say, perfect. Thank you, keep going.
