The room

Vinyl and natural wine meet at Unkompress in Kreuzberg. The Berlin listening bar keeps those two interests close, making a record and a glass the basis of an evening in the room.

Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers work with an Elekit TU-8600S 300B single-ended amplifier built and upgraded by owner Kevin Rodriguez. A modified Technics MK2 carries a Nagaoka MP110 cartridge, Analog Relax lead wires and a Shelter headshell, feeding a Resør 2525FX discrete Class A rotary mixer.

High-sensitivity loudspeakers and single-ended valve amplification define the output stage, while the modified deck and rotary mixer maintain an analogue source path. The owner’s work on the Elekit is a specific part of the installation’s design.
