Only the best and finest components can reproduce music exactly the way the original artist intended.

Without any doubt, electronics is key. But it should be invisible, because nothing – absolutely nothing – should get in the way of the music. This philosophy is alive and kicking like never before in this superb amplifier. What’s more, invisibility means that it’s not about specifications such as main capacitor values. Specifications don’t say anything when it comes to sound quality. What matters is the right combination of parts. It’s all about carefully selecting, combining and testing all the components – as they work together. And only when each individual part works

in complete harmony with the rest can you be certain that they will perform invisibly. That’s true music in its human form.

To faithfully reproduce a musical experience in the way that the original artist intended, to recreate the atmosphere, the emotion and all of the nuances – requires a special CD player. And that’s exactly what you can expect from the limited edition KI Pearl SACD Player. But as with the amplifier the quality of a CD player cannot be judged by reading the specifications list. It requires careful listening. And that’s what Ken Ishiwata has done for hours upon hours. Listening testing, reconfiguring. Searching for the ultimate combination of components.

The result is an SACD player with an ultra-realistic three-dimensional sound stage. Every instrument is positioned with pin-point accuracy, and just as importantly they remain in their locations and never drift with increasing volume. It’s a sound stage that also offers remarkable depth and height, allowing the vocals to be lifted over the music for an extra-real reproduction of a live performance. It all adds up to a sublime musical experience filled with emotion.
