Some of you may be familiar with 47 Labs, a Japanese Audio mfr. that makes a very unique line of equipment. Now comes Sparkler Audio, a company founded by a former designer at 47 Labs.

Sparkler makes a full line of SS audio equipment, plus speakers. The equipment is quite affordable compared to 47 labs (between about $1800-$800 per piece). They also have a 47 Treasure line that, i gather, follows the owner's previous designs at 47 Labs, but sells for even less than the Sparkler line.

The English language version of their site is shown below.

There is more information about Sparkler at http://cheaptubeaudio.blogspot.com/2014/12/2014-in-review-saprkler-audio-47-labs.html . The US contact is V. Kung at vkmusic.ca

Looks interesting. I'm very interested in the cd player.

The link is dead, btw.

Heard 47 Lab stuff at shows several times. Their room always sounded good. nt, posted on February 10, 2016 at 16:00:57
