New review: Valvet E2 reviewed by the Stereoplay magazine

By Alfred Kainz | 30 September, 2018 | Read more

Valvet E2 single-ended solid-state amplifier

Roland Kraft of the Stereoplay print magazine wrote (Oct. 2018):
"...a good single-ended Class-A design conveys music with a charm that other end-stage concepts seldom or never reach... the Valvet plays crystal clear transparently, always agile and dynamic. However, its true strength lies in its large 3-D sound stage which reaches far beyond the speakers, nearing that of a reference system. What the E2 is doing here borders on sorcery... It’s understandable that using efficient speakers makes life easier for the single-ended amps: every decibel more per watt is converted into pure listening joy. In Conclusion: A short, purist signal path and single-ended design aren’t relics of bygone times, but remain as beneficial for the sound as ever. Therefore: huge compliments!"

New review: Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE

By Alfred Kainz | 21 September, 2018 | Read more

Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE review by The StereoTimes

Mike Girardi, The StereoTimes (Sept. 2018):

"...one of the most significant effect results of reducing the noise floor and signal compression via the SR AGB SE allowed me to listen to music at much lower volumes without any loss of detail, silence between notes, and dynamics. Component changes alone have never resulted in the type of improvement the SR AGB SE brings to the table. With the SR AGB SE installed I was more engaged with the music and not left searching for it. The SR AGB SE is an integral part of my reviewing system. Highly recommended."

New arrival: VALVET A4 Mk.II Class-A mono-blocks hand crafted in Germany

By Alfred Kainz | 20 September, 2018 | Read more

Just in from Hamburg - in the north of Germany, Knut Cornil's new A4 Mk.II Class A mono-blocks.

The Mk.II version of these amazing Class-A mono-blocks has been much improved. 33% stronger transformers (now 2 times 400 watts), new audiophile resistors and silver wiring with real cotton isolation elevate these close to the performance of Valvet's top-line mono-blocks, the A4e... and all this while still maintaining Valvet's small footprints. US retail price is $7890 /pair.

New review: Synergistic's PowerCell 12 UEF, Grounding Block and Black UEF Duplex tested by Part-Time Audiophile

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..."
