Holfi Battriaa better than Levinson No 25 S ??

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 Eisubius,
I'm about 120km frome P.Holsteins Holfi factory i Denmark, ( I'm from Sweden) and i to know Peter, as you say a very nice guy.
I have Pre NB 1.5.1 Power NB 250 and Batriia 2 as well as Xaurus CD and finally Holfi Sonair speakers.
So its a full setup. What i could upgrade are the poweramp to the batterydriven unit and a Batriia ref. Maybe some fine day :)
Where are you situated.
best regards

Hi Atlasiris,
I agree that the mp-player is better.
When it comes to Pre NB1 and 1.5.1 i can say with no hesitation that 1.5.1 is waay better than Pre NB1.
Why so, simply because it is better in every aspect, and of course Peter Holstein has developed the NB1-concept in the 1.5.1 and made a lots of improvements. More natural sounding, bigger sounding ( in the right sence). I think one of the major improvements over Pre NB1 is spelled digital attenuators, you dont have to rely on an resistor equipped goldplated attenuator, wich is very good but not totally free frome noise. The digital one in 1.5.1 is completely noisless.

When it comes to Power NB1 ws NB250 it is not as big diferens but of course the noise floor is even lower so you have that extra calm that battery power is known for.

By the way i'm reading more and more articles about battery powered riias that are using current gain stages (transistors) Something Peter H started develop over ten years ago and the current Holfi Batriia is just this.
So i cant help myself again this riia is soo goood. :)

good luck with your search fore musical Nirvana....
