Holfi Battriaa better than Levinson No 25 S ??

Hi, I just came across this old thread. I have a Holfi Battriaa Signatur Edition my self and like you I must say that it is amazing. The Danish company has unattended to most of the Hifi world created one of the best phono pre's ever. I have tested mine against Tom Evans Micro Groove, Trigon Advance, Trigon Vanguard and orthe phono stages in the same price range. But the Battriaa always played clearly in a league of its own. That is even audible to someone who is not a very trained listener. We are talking huge differences. But I am still a little astonished that the Battriaa is significant better than such a high end product like the ML No. 25. But that makes me think that I made the right choices six years ago when I chose Holfi Battriaa.

Unfortunately Holfi has stopped producing the Battriaa. But I hope they some day will rethink this decision, because it is a fantastic product.

Best regards

Ole

Hahahahahahaha.... typical, when the word Holfi is mentioned, everything goes quiet. I have been happily using Holfi Amps for 15 years now, nothing else comes close. Very beautifully honest equipment.

How nice that more hifi people get to listen to music thru Holfi.
I'v used Holfi as set up since 1991 and everytime i try something else i get disapointed and go back to Holfi.
Why, in two words: Total Cilence. It has such a laid back, calm performance that you can listen 24-7 without ever get fatigued.
I'm happy to tell you that Holfi makes Battria again. Two versions, Battriia ref. and Battriia 2 i own the latter and i'm mad with myself that i didn't go fore the reference, not a big pricediff. I use a Ortofon Rohman wich is 0,25mV low output MC.
Do you know what the NB stands fore, like in Holfi Pre NB 1
( No Bullshit). Good philosophy when it comes to amplification if you ask me.
Good luck

Hi Blackblade :)

The Pre NB1 is a dream, someday. I use the pre nb2/ power nb2 now with built in phono stage. Peter and I are friends, so I get lots of explanation from him, he's a simple nice fellow but very smart :)

Holfi turntable, Matilda is very nice too. I use 3 different Lencos ..... musical and dynamic. I also prefer vintage MMs :) So my nice MC phonostage is wasted.

I actually have some collection of other good hifi, but I am selling them all off, cos I never listem to them if I compare to the Holfi.

Their Multiplayer is interesting too.

Which part of the world are you from? Is holfi doing well there?

Cheers
