Our way
At Densen we build our equipment to bring you the best musical experience money can buy. We are not the biggest manufacturer in the world, but we’re dead serious about being the best.
It is our intention to make complete products. Not just products that are sonically superior, but complete like a perfect circle. As you read on, you’ll discover that we go the extra mile in every aspect: design, user-friendliness, development, quality, upgradeability, production methods and of course sound quality. But you really won’t have a clue about it all until your get to hear and see what we’re talking about.
But before you visit your Densen dealer, we recommend that you bring a few things for the demonstration: First of all you need lots of the music you love and relate to. Not only the best recordings, not only the things that show the world you’re an intellectual. We mean the kind of stuff that gets your feet tapping or brings a tear to your eye. We also recommend that you bring your partner, your mother or someone else with no opinion or knowledge about Hi-Fi.
As the demonstration rolls along, you’ll be able to measure the quality of the experience on yourself by noticing the amount of foot tapping, your urge to do the air guitar, or the feeling you have in your stomach. With Densen the music will be less compressed, more engaging and energetic to listen to. The music will breathe and you will feel the emotion put into music by the musicians. And if the person you bring along stops talking or starts to smile, you know you’re on to something. If you forget about the equipment and just listen to the music, you have arrived at a decision.
We’re not the kind of people who preach, but we will tell you this about selecting your system: Follow your instincts.
Don’t rely on data. Close your eyes and listen to your heart. That’s what music is all about.
Life is too short for boring Hi-Fi
The Road to Perfection
In the Densen universe form, function, and build quality works for one another and for the sound. Our design trademark – the compact aluminium cases – are not only good-looking and easy to incorporate in any interior – they also dissipate heat and reduce magnetic distortion much more effectively than the large steel cases used by many manufacturers.
Every Densen product is designed with a single printed circuit board. This ensures short signal paths and easy upgradeability.
All boards are made of teflon, the mounting is mainly done by robots, and the soldering is done in an artificial atmosphere of nitrogen to avoid oxidation.
The parts we use are select and often custom-made to our specifications. We use Vishay metal film resistors, custom-made capacitors, and very “stiff” custom-made toroid transformers that really deliver the goods regardless of load.
Before a product leaves us, we submit it to a very discriminating series of testing, listening sessions and visual inspections. When you unpack your Densen, you’ll find a pair of white gloves to wear while handling the unpacking and installation. If you don’t wear them, your fingers will be the first to touch the extraordinary aluminium finish.
