Each Signature Edition unit is hand-made, using quality hardware (e.g. Cardas RCAs, custom made solid aluminum knob) and carefully tested and matched components. Once assembled, the units are tested by the designer using both audio analysis equipment and, of course, by ear. If the unit passes all the tests, it's numbered and signed by the designer and delivered to you with its unique performance chart and test results. The Delicious One Signature Edition is priced at $695 + shipping. OUCH! We are currently very busy and not able to accept new orders. Really sorry about that!

INTRODUCING THE DELICIOUS ONE
The world's first Variable Deliciousness Control
The world's first Variable Deliciousness Control
There was a time in audio history when most high-end preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers and receivers included a loudness control for more satisfying listening at lower volumes. And many people also used the loudness control to make some recording sound smoother or richer–more delicious.
Over the last three decades, in the name of purist audio design, tone controls, including loudness, have all but disappeared from high-end components. While some audiophiles applaud this trend, others, including ourselves, really miss the ability to use tone controls to adjust the sound to compensate and adjust for poor recordings or special listening situation (e.g. low-volume listening.) |
That's why we developed The Delicious One: A tone control with (at least) three very useful applications:
We designed The Delicious One with a form factor as unique as its functionality, including a beautiful large, smooth and sensitive control knob that is in itself a pleasure to use. |
Note for purists: We haven't forgotten our audiophile roots and the fact that there are many recordings that sound fantastic without any help, so we have designed The Delicious One be deliciously helpful when needed but totally transparent when bypassed–we dare anyone to be able to tell the difference. Purist or not, with The Delicious One you can have your sonic cake and eat it too.

All our products are hand-made in the US using bullet-proof point-to-point wiring. No circuit board or big offshore assembly-line here. Since we build our tone controllers one small batch at a time, there's a a risk that they will sell out fast. Share your email with us (see form to the right) so we can let you know when a new batch is ready for purchase and immediate shipping ... as well as to be informed of new products launches, previews and reviews (including audio and video demos.) |
Of course we would not dream of sharing your email address with anyone else!
