SORAsound is happy to announce that we now have a ZYX pre-preamp, called ZYX CPP-1 (don’t ask me why we have all these engineering names). customers kept on asking for the famous and out of production ZYX step ups. well, nakatsuka san, came up with something better. these units are very japanese, very simple. this of course make them beautiful. as for the sound, you know how much i love ZYX.

SORAsound is now the distributor for AMAZON audio turntables. why not? three turntables as an end consumer should demonstrate enough commitment to the line. in convincing mehran to become AMAZON audio north american (and goes without saying, the rest of the americas), hartmut janssen promised mehran unlimited access to his atelier and the pub next door known for some great german brews. PROST!

hans kortenbach asked SORAsound to become north american distributor for musical affairs speakers of the netherlands. these speakers are hand made. you can tell it is an artisan who makes them….same way a good violin or a cello is made. the artisan behind these beautiful looking and sounding speakers (auris, crescendo) is hans kortenbach. given the low sales, mehran offered his resignation a few times with no luck. hans always said that he can not produce much anyways and that he trusts us and our capability. the good word of mouth has helped us a lot and mehran now thinks hans is one pretty smart guy for believing in our success.
SORA was born, in tokyo at aiiku hospital, hiro-o, tokyo. SORA means sky in japanese. but the kanji characters we use to write his name are symbols for UNIVERSE.
