Synergistic Research Foundation Cable series

BRAND NEW - JUST ARRIVED.
Synergistic's new Foundation Interconnects and Speaker Cables are the brainchildren of Lead Designer Ted Denney who wanted an affordable IC and SC loom with the performance for which other companies charge thousands of dollars.

To make this a reality, Ted distilled his highest performance cable technologies to make these cables punch far above their weight class, with a price as low as $499 for a pair of interconnects.

New review: Valvet's new E2se Class-A single-ended amplifier tested by 10Audio.com

By Alfred Kainz | 01 July, 2019 | Read more

Jerry Seigel of 10audio.com concluded (06/2019):

"...even with the excellent [original] Valvet E2, some tube amplifiers maintained a small superiority in harmonic depth and resolution at the edge of silence. No longer. The E2 SE amplifier is fully competitive in this area and should convince many serious audiophiles that vacuum tubes are no longer necessary for the ultimate in warmth, texture, purity and correctness. The Valvet E2 SE’s ability to 'listen in' to a voice or instrument and allow the listener to really hear the intimacy of a performance is state of the art, and perfectly delivered..."

New review: VALVET A4e reviewed by The StereoTimes

By Alfred Kainz | 10 June, 2019 | Read more

Greg Voth of The StereoTimes concluded:
"...even with a solid state preamp in the mix, the music felt very relaxed, rich and sounded, in a word, lush. Each note was delivered with panache over the brute force of other power amplifiers and in a way that subtly coaxes and charms the listener to continue their musical journey rather than submit to over-arched and brutally dynamic intensity. These Valvet a4e’s are the real deal… get where I’m coming from?"

New arrival: Valvet E2se Class-A, single-ended, solid-state amplifier

By Alfred Kainz | 31 May, 2019 | Read more

BRAND NEW - JUST ARRIVED. A new version of the well-loved german handmade Valvet E2 amplifier is in and warming up in the showroom - the E2se. Even though from the outside it looks just like the original E2 - the typical Valvet understatement, the inside is much improved. The E2se is a rare breed - a Class-A, single-ended, solid-state, dual-mono amp using only one single transistor per channel in the output stage. The E2se delivers 12 watts into 8 Ohm (20W/4Ohm) but these watts are from the finest. MSRP is $3990.

New review: Synergistic Research Galileo SX tested by SoundStage Ultra

By Alfred Kainz | 20 April, 2019 | Read more

Synergistic Research Galileo SX reviewed on Ultra Systems

Howard Kneller of SoundStage Ultra wrote:
"...the Galileo SXes may well set a new high bar for audio-cable performance. Further, while at first glance their geometries are more similar to than different from those of the Galileo UEFs, the SXes considerably outperformed the older cables... I’m smitten with the sound of Synergistic Research’s Galileo SXes: breathtakingly lively, exciting, and dynamic, yet gorgeously rich, musical, and accurately full-bodied. They are definite contenders for the designation 'the state of the art'..."
