Chris10an, no reason to get excited (at least not on your side, that is). I have been SERIOUSLY interested in their "Magician" and have SERIOUSLY tried to get information, to no avail (mid 2009 following a test in Hifi&Records 3/09). Also, not a word about Holfi being closed on the website www.holfi-audio.de until today, everyone may judge for themselves whether they think that's "fine service".
Is anyone familiar Holfi?
I have a Holfi Pre8 preamp that I purchased from Audiogon a couple of years ago and the gentleman that I purchased it from did not have the remote. I have contact Holfi several times requesting to buy a remote but I have never received an answer. Any information would be helpful. thanks...

Good as the products may be, dealing with Holfi is a drag! First of all, trying to access their homepage in Denmark will result in a warning about an untrusted connection (unvalid certificate - issuer unknown; I tried it again just now via Firefox as well as Safari). Secondly, they don't want you to contact them, really, they seem to spy out from where you are trying to connect them, then redirect to the local distributor. In my case, I ended up with a distributor who adamantly wanted to call me and refused to give information via e-mail. No thanks, my interest had faded by that time. Anyway, they are supposed to be distributed in the USA by Texas Audio Products, but that is another address, I can't access ("server not found"), so fwiw here is the url: http://www.texasaudioproducts.com Should this link fail for you as well, you might send a request for help to info@holfi-audio.de Good luck |
Sorry to see your Tourette worsening. If Holfi was closed before mid 2009, there nevertheless was a test in H&R in mid 2009 on what was claimed to be a new product. On the basis of that test I tried to reach them in Denmark (.dk, yes have some notion of political geography). As I said, I was redirected to the German distributor under holfi-audio.de (appears pretty official to me, if Klang Konzeption and Audience, the alleged distributors are impostors, you better tell Peter Holfi, huh). That site will still turn up if one looks up Holfi today, and not a word about Holfi going belly up for whatever reason. Be that as it may, if Couldbe gets his remote via your exclusive contact, I'm happy about that (hey, why didn't you reply in the first place). As to this amusing chat, I'm out of here, blimey. |
