Synergistic Research PowerCell, Grounding Block and Black UEF Duplex review on Part-Time Audiophile

Part-Time Audiophile on PowerCell 12 UEF SE, Grounding Block and Black UEF Duplex (Sep. 2018):

"...the resulting impact of these three products is more than the sum of the parts. By that, I mean that with these devices it’s more of a '1+1+1=5" effect. The noise floor drops significantly, and with that, I feel like I am hearing everything my system was designed to perform... it allows the music to just flow in a more natural manner and for more musical detail, both macrodynamic and micro-dynamic in nature, to be heard. It elevates whatever electronics and speakers you have..."

Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Euphoria cables

Robert S. Youman of Positive Feedback wrote:
"...the combination of Atmosphere X Euphoria (Level 3) interconnects and speaker cables and Atmosphere UEF (Level 3) power cables have established a new bench mark of excellence for my system. Visitors to my listening room noticed the change immediately. Even non-audiophiles who never seemed all that impressed before became quite attentive if not mesmerized..."

TAS Golden Ear Award 2018 for Voxativ's 9.87 loudspeaker system

By Alfred Kainz | 23 August, 2018 | Read more

Jonathan Valin of The Absolute Sound wrote:

"...the 9.87 is the most complete and realistic-sounding single-driver cone loudspeaker I've auditioned, giving you the incomparable coherence of a single crossoverless transducer (with the seamless addition of low bass thanks to the Pi-Sub) along with the efficiency, resolution, and dynamic range of a horn..."

TAS Golden Ear Award 2018 for Synergistic's PowerCell 12 UEF & Galileo UEF cables

By Alfred Kainz | 22 August, 2018 | Read more

Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound:
"...how does Galileo UEF sound? Well, when you hear something that is 'real' enough to give you goosebumps it is almost ipso facto obvious that it is getting everything of audible musical importance 'right'—timbres, dynamics, durations, pitches, imaging, soundstaging, etc. And it is delivering all of them with the inimitable immediacy of real music being played live. This sense of every musical element being delivered with lifelike pace and in lifelike proportion is what fools and delights you. And it’s this sense of lifelike pace and proportion that Synergistic Galileo UEF offers up on a more regular basis than almost any other cables I’ve tried. Though UEF isn’t cheap, it is a no-brainer top recommendation, as is the PowerCell 12 UEF SE that you plug your gear into and that has precisely the same neutrality, fidelity, resolution, dynamics, and realism as the cables..."

New review: HighEnd Novum's PMR Premium Mk.II reviewed by The StereoTimes

By Alfred Kainz | 13 August, 2018 | Read more

Greg Voth of The StereoTimes concluded (August 2018):

"...we audiophiles tend to over-dramatize the effect of the slightest improvement by tweak… this is NOT one of those times. However esoteric the Novum PMR ll might appear, it’s the real deal, folks. After my experience at Dan’s, hearing the Novum PMR both in and out of his system, I went home and tried making my own version, investing some pocket change in a gong . Things didn’t go as planned… if it worked at all, the effect was too subtle. However, it did give my rig a nice 'audio alter' focal point. Not so with the new Novum PMR ll Multifocal Resonator – whether by science, voodoo or nose to the grind stone audio technical knowhow, I can tell you that both the original and this new model of the PMR ll work wonderfully as reported. I’ll have this PMR ll in my system from this point on!"

New review: Lyric Audio Ti200 integrated tube amp tested by The StereoTimes

By Alfred Kainz | 10 August, 2018 | Read more

Lyric Audio Ti200 tested on The StereoTimes

Greg Simmons of The StereoTimes wrote (August 2018):

"...if you’re in the market for an integrated amplifier, or even separates in this price range, it would be well worth your while to check out the Lyric Ti-200. Don’t let the relatively low power rating put you off. This is a muscular sounding amp capable of delivering as much quality sound as most people would ever want. Highly recommended."
