Yan (炎) Suspension - A Ground-Breaking Innovation from Skyanalog
The key of a MC cartridge lies in the precision of its damping system. It is the heart of the mechanical-to-electrical transducer process dominating how effectively the kinetic energy is transformed into musical information. The art of damping pivots on the principle of "matching" - ensuring that every component works in harmony.
Yan Suspension Features:
· Minimized Information, Loss and Distortion
· Exceptional Dynamic Range and Lifelike Soundstage
· Enhanced Transient Response and Clarity
Growing up in rural China, founder Jack Leung collected components like resistors and transistors to begin his “DIY adventure”, making his own “Hi-Fi” tube amplifier by the age of 16. After nearly ten years as a senior telecom engineer, he started Skyanalog, initially manufacturing tube amplifiers for the domestic market before transitioning to the global analogue market as an OEM supplier to many large analogue brands.

“Absolutely love the speakers. The speakers do show of the recording. If however the recording is not well mixed it will show the listener as well that it was a bad recording. When they did a bond song together. However if you have a well recorded album like London Grammar or Faithless etc the music is not just fun but dynamic and entertaining. Totally recommend these speakers. ”
“I’m loving the minimalist design. The warmth and depth of sound this turntable achieves makes listening sessions bliss”
"Just upgraded my phono cartridge to the Linn Ekstatik. This is a truely amazing cartridge. Running on my Linn LP12 Klimax turntable. The amount of information extracted is incredible. Very detailed presentation even at reasonably low volume. I am sure that as the moreI use it the better it will get. A worthwhile upgrade. Thanks to all at The Real Music company"
