Laboratory 47

Posted by: Lightkeeper on 13 January 2003

Hi chaps !

A long time ago, my friend Igor Svab from Slovenia was a member of this forum and some of you are maybe remeber him. Igor is not a Naim believer any more and now he have DIY Laboratory 47 Gaincard int. amp. which drives Manger speakers. As I always trusted him and his ears I was listened Original version of Gaincard feeded by Laboratory 47 cdp here in Zagreb. Man, that stuff is so f..... fast, delicate, liquid, powerful with fantastic resolution, but the most important is that Gaincard is the only amp which was I heard after Naim that can really hold the tune.
Ofcourse, I would stay in the Naim bin, but that was one unexpected nice experience, so I can say, if there is no Naim, I would buy a Lab47.

Anyone some experience with that company?

Actually...

They're called "47 Labs" and the company that make them are called "Sakura Systems".

I know nothing about their gear except that it's unusually sized (i.e.: miniscule), and that they review well - Listener was gushing about their gear quite a bit.

Cheers

Keith.

Keith,

Sakura Systems are actually only the U.S. importer.
