We’ve added some new photos in our Gallery page on our website. Look for more pictures to be added in the next month!

Sonic Spirits is proud to announce that we have become authorized resellers for Acoustics First. Acoustics First designs and manufacturers acoustic room treatment products for both home and commercial use. For more information about their products, see www.acousticsfirst.com
We’ll be attending CES in January 2005, so the next newsletter you receive will have coverage of the show. Until then, we hope you have a Happy Holiday!

II – Manufacturers’ News
Blue Circle
------------
- The Blue Circle BC3000mkII tubed preamp and BC206 hybrid stereo amplifier were just reviewed by Jeff Fritz at UltraAudio.com in his column, “The World’s Best Audio Systems”.
http://www.ultraaudio.com/twbas/twbas_20041015.htm
- The Blue Circle BC3 Galatea MkII received a follow-up report by Art Dudley in the December 2004 issue of Stereophile. Note that the original BC3 Galatea review landed this fantastic preamp on Stereophile’s Recommended Components Class A list for many years. Based on this follow-up, we expect to see the BC3 Galatea MkII on the list for many more years!

- Blue Circle has also just launched the BC204 hybrid stereo amplifier. This amplifier is a smaller, 150wpc version of the BC206, and is priced at $7795. For more information, click here:
