What a cracker! We know how good our AT8000 is - it's very good indeed - but it's not until the magazine reviews start coming in that you know for sure that all your hard work is going to be appreciated by your peers. Find it in our reviews section. Munich High End Show this month. We do not exhibit at this (best show in Europe) yet, but we will be in Munich for two days, meeting our Astin Trew Distributors from around the world. http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/1004.html http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/1004.html New Product Launch Our new AT8000 phono amplifier is already a big hit! No magazine reviews yet, but word is out - the new AT8000 phono amplifier offers great musical insight and like all Astin Trew products, the feedback to date suggests we have retained 'musicality' without loosing any music performance detail - just what we like to hear! Technically, there is switching for almost every cartridge type, and the outputs are either RCA (phono) or XLR balanced. We are getting samples to our dealers in the UK and to our distributors around the world right now, so why not request a demonstration and see how the AT8000 could improve your vinyl enjoyment! http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/1002.html http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/1002.html Top of the range Astin Trew CD player wins an Oscar! Italian audiophile magazine Fedeltà del Suono awarded our AT3500plus their 'Oscar' in their December issue. The full review can be can be found, in italiano, in the reviews section. Some highlights follow. "The Astin Trew [AT3500plus] worked well in all the systems I tried it in - the sound is balanced, very musical and is the very best you can expect in this price range..." "Operated without upsampling, our Astin Trew was neutral, with perhaps a hint of warmth in the midrange that confers naturalness, while the bass is deep and authoritative; the high frequencies reveal every detail in a very pleasant way. In short, this player sounds like analogue and allows you to enjoy extended listening..." "Musical details are numerous and very naturally presented. I would say that the naturalness, effortlessness and musicality are keystones to its sound - it is sure footed, does not strain in the slightest and is very transparent..." "The fact is, if the AT3500plus was the reader's CD player, even the analogue lovers amongst you may wish for a long life for the (CD) format. The AT3500plus proves that even a CD player for less than 2,000 Euros can offer you pleasant, relaxing, accurate and natural music. I do not think many audiophiles could wish for or want more at this reasonable price." http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0911.html http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0911.html "The Astin Trew room was a particularly fine sounding one..." So says Hi-Fi World's David Price, reporting back from September's National AUDIO SHOW 2009 in their December issue (Click image for detail). Our thanks go to the Chester Group, particularly show organisers Roy and Justin Bird, for another great event. We enjoyed ourselves alongside the many visitors to our product demonstrations and are sure to be back next year. Congratulations also to David Armitage of Northampton who walked away from our prize draw with an AT2000 integrated amplifier. http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0910.html http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0910.html Two shows coming up in October...

Reviewer Jason Kennedy says: 'The AT2000 is a remarkably transparent amp in all important respects - it produces attractively open results and reflects the quality and nature of the incoming signal with a very natural and fluent precision. There's no sense here of the sound being mechanical or etched; rather, instruments and voices are placed in the context in which they were recorded.'

Reviewer Jimmy Hughes says... 'The player's bright airy treble and crisp lucid transient attack is matched by a clear strong bottom end. The bass is very clean and firm - impressively powerful and deep when the music demands muscle and weight.' Check the reviews section for the full review. http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0701.html http://www.astintrew.co.uk/news/0701.html Our amplifiers are reviewed in issue 49 of hi-fi+ magazine, out this month. Reviewer Jimmy Huges says... 'There is a certain 'rightness' to the sound, the AT1000 and AT5000 combination is actually very neutral and truthful sounding. It has the refinement needed for naturally miked recordings of acoustic music - vocal or instrumental - and the power and attack for rock. While there might be better out there, you're going to have to spend a lot more to get something that truly beats the Astin Trew. It's certainly an amplifier I'd be happy to live with.'

The Astin Trew room at the Northern Sound & Vision Show this year was making some of the best sounds at the show, so many of our visiters told us. The modestly priced AT range CD player and pre-amp. / power amp. combination were really on song, through the very able Jamo R 909 dipole loudspeakers. Northern Sound & Vision Show 2006 The £9,400 Jamos, costing six times more than the Astin Trew combination, ably showed off the remarkably transparent and musical abilities of the AT range electronics.
