2004 - The Trinaural Processor: Feedback from satisfied customers

I will never go back to stereo again, never!My thoughts: It's not like listening to music, it's like to experience the music. You are not sitting in this stupid stereo triangle. You are sitting right in the music. You experience the width and the depth of the music, emotions! When you experience music with the Trinaural system, won't miss it anymore... NO! CAN'T miss it anymore. For me it's a new dimension of listening to music. My thank and my deep respect for the creator of this product. M. Hildebrand, Hamburg

"Stereo times are over for me now!" Martin Shenar, Prag

"The Trinaural sound is better than anything else i have previously heard with stereo. B. Pavliae (Zagreb)

Mr. M. Kölbl from Straubing (ger.) wrote us, that he rediscoveres all his records now, thank of the Trinaural processor. Now he is able to hear room information that he was not before in stereo. (Mr. Kölbl is driving his speaker system with three Ampzilla2000 Mono-bloc amplifiers.

The Trinaural Processor is a revolutionary product with the potential to break through the "sonic barrier" that most high-end two channel systems are approaching today. The Trinaural is capable of delivering more musical clarity, depth, and soundstage than I previously thought possible. Julian Turner

How do other manufacturers comment the capabilities of other Surround systems?
"We do accept multi-channel systems for special-effects for home cinema, not for reproducing music. A multi-channel chamber ensemble might be nice, but when the singer starts singing with a huge mouth, fun is over." - Yasumasa Ishizuka, Accuphase

"Best of CES Award 2003" winner - "Trinaural Processor"

Lightning strikes twice - sort of. Last year, Brian Cheney (of VMPS) won this award for his magnificent RM-40 ribbon loudspeaker. Hopefully in some small part being powered by the mighty Ampzilla2000 amplifiers. Again this year we shared the exhibit space. We had the full Trinaural system up and running. Actually, virtually the entire system was my concept (except the CD players). I had a souped up Thaedra (with new cards-shades of the new upcoming Thaedra2000) driving the Trinaural Processor which in turn drove six Ampzilla2000 amps. This combination drove the new VMPS Elixir loudspeaker which was also my concept design. More on that in a moment. Needless to say, the sound was beyond belief. Never in my career have I ever used "snake oil phrases" but I must say that even I, the ultimate skeptic, was truly blown away. And obviously so were all the judges. The object of audio reproduction is to make the system "disappear" and have just the close to true holographic presentation. In my entire career, I can only remember three occasions where I experienced something close to this. But this was the whole enchilada. I can surely tell you that once you experience the trinaural processor, you will NEVER go back to stereo again.

Last year at CES, at one of our dinners, I sketched out a complete set of drawings (on my favorite napkins of course) for this new speaker. I told Brian that THIS is what he should develop for the following year. Not only did he break the bank with this effort, his brilliance has created without any shadow of a doubt, the finest loudspeaker that has ever been created. Brian surely deserves the credit for being the absolute most brilliant loudspeaker designer on the planet. I can just see all the crocodile tears from all the others. BOO HOO. You may have to get in a long line as his entire first production run was sold out AT $9,800.00 per pair. If you want Nirvana folks, three of these ELIXIR loudspeakers in my Trinaural setup will surely send you there.
