HiFiToday interview with Siegfried Nehls about energetic accessories
"We want to achieve goosebumps when listening to music."
Siegfried Nehls
Siegfried Nehls is an authority on hi-fi accessories in Germany. With almost 50 years of experience in the field of hi-fi and hi-fi accessories, he knows what he is talking about. Nehls knows how to get hi-fi systems to sound at the highest level and, over 70 years old, still puts a hand on its customers' hi-fi systems to optimize them. This is a unique wealth of experience in terms of sound optimization. Since Siegfried Nehls has kept an open mind to this day, it is not surprising that you can also find things that represent real innovations. Energetic accessories are also an integral part of his individual advice.
Here are a few quotes on the topic of Vortex HiFi, energetic accessories and the new Ground Optimizers:
"With every additional measure, progress is made - and without brakes and negative interactions. Amazingly, there is no limit to improvement. It just keeps getting better - which also gives us security as a retailer. We know that if we give the customer something, it will work."...
… “I am impressed by how systematically Vortex Hifi boss Norbert Maurer or Ingo Hansen from Phonosophie approach the issue of suppression. There are also plenty of reasonable explanations on their websites that are made very understandable. If you want to find out more there, you can spend hours, days and weeks doing it. Norbert Maurer has been dealing with this topic for decades - and it's really amazing what he has developed during this time. There is nothing comparable on the market. ...
"... For good reason, the Vortex Hifi Ground Optimizer, for example, has been a hit for years and is one of our most successful parts. It eliminates the ground disturbances of the system. If you order a Ground Optimizer for testing, you keep it. This shows me that all stereo systems in this world in every price and quality class have the same problem, even under the most varied of conditions. And the Ground Optimizer solves that – which I find sensational. With the new MKII versions available now, the Oscillation Alignment Ground Optimizers, Norbert Maurer has once again significantly improved the bestseller. They are rock hard, but also have bad side effects (Siegried Nehls grins – editor's note). If someone has an 'old', they want the 'new'.”
