Kubrick DCX was tested by Mr. Stuart Smith of HiFi Pig magazine and received very warm review.

Please read the complete review here

We are pleased to introduce our new turntable model, Elgar DCX, named after an English composer Edward Elgar, known as the first composer (of classical music) to take the gramophone seriously, and composer of our favorite cello concerto, the Cello Concerto in E minor.
Complete aluminum construction with Acrylic platter and same bearing and DC motor used in Kubrick DCX.
There are no obvious switches/on-off buttons and/or marks/symbols, yet the left part of the aluminum pipe is actually an on/off and speed selection switch/knob, utilizing the rotary switch with 3 positions, off/33/45. Fine speed adjustment included.
3 different types of tonearms could be mounted, SME, Rega/Origin Live and Jelco; additional Acrylic arm boards and spacers are supplied for Rega and Jelco mounting.

After successfully completed sound & performance tests, Elgar DCX will be available for sale and distribution from 16th of June.
More information and user manual will follow accordingly.

Review of Dostoyevsky DCX with KiVi tone arm in HXOS EIKONA, Greek audio magazine

KiVi is the first tone arm designed and manufactured by Soulines. Minimalist uni-pivot design employing carbon/aluminum pipe. More details to be revealed soon!

Greek speaking readers please find the review here

Brief translation for non-Greek speaking readers:

"..... For:
- Classic looks with sophisticated components
- Easy assemble and cartridge setting up
- Extremely balanced sound, clean and vibrant at the same time
- It doesn't force detail with tone tricks; Detail comes directly from crystal clear treble and excellent timing
- So, it simply plays music and you can listen to it for hours
- Computer Audiophiles will find familiar tonic balance and sound staging
Against:
- The micro tuning of speed is difficult as initial setting, then again how many times will it be adjusted?
- Uni-pivot , principally requires fine handling
- Classic vinyl(ers) might find it a bit modern sounding ....."
