New review: Marigo Audio Labs AIDA CD-mat tested by The StereoTimes

By Alfred Kainz | 21 March, 2019 | Read more

Dave Allison of The StereoTimes wrote:
"...increase in detail also solidified the stereo image in every dimension. It was as if the individual voices and instruments acquired more palpable boundaries while remaining part of the whole performance. The interplay between instruments, especially in symphonic material, was much easier to follow, and more enjoyable! Ron Hedrich’s four years of developing the Aida has yielded quite a set of accomplishments for a 'humble' CD mat! But if you play/burn any digital audio or video discs, I think you’ll appreciate what the Aida does..."

Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power Cable review on The StereoTimes

Mike Girardi Mike of The StereoTimes concluded:

"...the Galileo SX AC power cables have allowed me to listen to music at lower volumes without loss of detail, silence between notes, and dynamics. With the Galileo SX cables, it’s much easier to become emotionally connected to the music on many levels. Although the price of admission is high, the increase in system performance in relative terms justifies the cost outlay. The Galileo SX AC power cables are my new reference..."

New review: Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE reviewd by The StereoTimes

By Alfred Kainz | 11 December, 2018 | Read more

Clement Perry concuded:
"...in short, the SR PowerCell 12 UEF SE is a breakthrough in what one can expect from an AC line conditioner. It moved my system in a direction that I have always admired and desired. How it improves specific areas like quiet, dynamics, bass and high frequency extension is very apparent. But overall, I would say that the SR PowerCell 12 UEF SE provides a level of sonic purity superior to any AC conditioner I’ve heard... As it stands, the SR PowerCell 12 UEF SE is the finest AC conditioner to have graced my listening space. I could not recommend this product more highly and easily my 2018 Publisher’s Choice, Most Wanted Component!"

New review: Lyric's Ti100 Mk.II on the front page of the new FIDELITY magazine

By Alfred Kainz | 27 October, 2018 | Read more

Lyric Audio's Ti100 Mk.II on the front page of the new Fidelity magazine

Lyric Audio's Ti100 Mk.II Class-A integrated single-ended tube amplifier made it all the way to the front page of the German magazine FIDELITY (Issue No.40, October 2018).

Jochen Reinecke writes: "...the jaw drops after a few bars, no matter whether Jimmy Smith's Hammond organ grunts in the low registers, roars and bubbles like lava - or whether the music gnaws aggressively on the drumhead in the solos... no matter whether the drums consist of only one fine ride cymbal pinging or juicy rim shots and massive bass drum booms... How do you describe such a thing? Well, what is delivered here is simply 'alive'. Intoxicating, enthralling, contagiously happy... The room is literally real enough to walk into, the music completely detaches itself from the speakers and stands shimmering and sparkling in the room. And one almost feels the presence of the musicians right there in the listening room. Spooky, but nice! What could the heart desire more?"
