Aurorasound VIDA Mk.II - Best of 2023 Award by AudioKeyReviews
Winner of Best of 2023 Award.

Kermit Heartsong of AudioKeyReviews writes:

"...the Aurorasound VIDA MK.II phono stage is simply a wonderful piece of playback gear. It had no flaw that I could put my finger on, sonically or ergonomically. It looks amazing, is built with precision and craft, and has more features than most vinyl enthusiasts are accustomed to. Clearly, founder and designer Shinobu Karaki's 30 years of experience with Sony and Texas Instruments has paid off in his circuit designs. The real wood enclosure, which can also be ordered in black, is the icing on the cake..."

Maxwell Geiger of Audiophilia.com wrote:


"...the Aurorasound HFSA-01 offers a pure musical performance, and just as importantly, it delivers music with a purity of purpose. It’s not a solution to a problem but rather a realization of a particular vision of musical enjoyment. For analog enthusiasts willing to work within the surprisingly minor constraints of its power rating, the Aurorasound HFSA-01 should bring a lifetime of musical engagement. A passionate recommendation and an Audiophilia star are in order..."

New award: Aurorasound's HFSA-01 receives the "HiFi-Bargain Award" from Twittering Machines

Aurorasound HFSA-01 receives the HiFi-Bargain Award from Twittering Machines

"...I bet you saw this coming. The HFSA-01 is the second product from Yokohama, Japan’s Aurorasound to hit the Favorite/HiFi Bargain double header, joining the Aurorasound VIDA Prima Phono Stage. One of the lovely tricks up the HFSA-01’s sleeve is the inclusion of EQ Curves to properly play back 78s, a rather rare feature in a sub $4k integrated amp. Of greater importance is the HFSA-01 is a killer integrated amp with a killer MM phono stage, using 2 pair of EL84s run in ultra-linear push-pull mode for 14 Watts of output power per channel. Enough to drive the DeVore O/96 to Barn-filling heights. And you get all of this wood-trimmed goodness for $3,680 making the Aurorasound HFSA-01 Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier a genuine HiFi Bargain..."

New arrival: Synergistics' new top-of-the-line power cable - The SRX XL

Synergistic Research SRX XL Power CableBRAND NEW - JUST ARRIVED
SR took their SRX power cable and added 2 additional pure sliver 14 gauge high current geometries and 2 additional pure sliver AirString geometries to make the highest gauge power cord entirely over the top where high conductive pure silver conductors in an air dielectric are concerned. Not surprisingly, this took the SRX’s industry-leading dynamics to a whole new level. It also improved nearly all aspects of its performance, including sound staging, lower noise floor, and increased high-frequency extension with added smoothness for a high-current power cord like no other. MSRP is $13,000 ea.

New follow-up review: Aurorasound HFSA-01's EQ Curves in DeVore's Monkeyhaus

Aurorasound HFSA-01's EQ Curves tested

Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines writes:


"...I am even more impressed by the lovely Aurorasound HFSA-01 now that I’ve heard what it can do with 78s and it drove the DeVore O/baby like a dream. A big, beautiful joyous dream that kept me enraptured and happy every moment music played. All told, at $3,680, the HFSA-01 is a screamin’ bargain, and I do mean screamin’, and if you’ve ever had a hankerin’ to play some 78s, or if you already have a stash but no way to properly play ‘em, I can’t think of any other integrated amplifying option anywhere near the Aurorasound’s price..."

New review & award: Aurorasound's HFSA-01 reviewed by the HiFi Pig Magazine

 5 Hearts Award from HiFi Pigs

Janine Elliot of the HiFi Pig Magazine writes:

"...this was a highly engrossing product giving me tons of fun per watt. Everything was harmonious with excellent clarity and a fair amount of dynamism for such a small output. Mids were sublime and top end was pin sharp and fast. The unimposing exterior hid within it a product of excellent calibre, and well worth exploring if you perhaps don’t want to annoy the whole street..."

New review: Aurorasound HFSA-01 EL84 integrated reviewed by Twittering Machines

Aurorasound HFSA-01 reviewed by Michael Lavorgna of Twittering MachinesMichael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines concluded:
"... I choose my hifi gear based on everything—looks, build quality, company, performance, features, and price. When it comes to an integrated amplifier, especially in the HFSA-01’s price range, I like having a MM phono stage built in and even a headphone amp for good measure and I put the HFSA-01’s EQ Curves in the crazy-amazingly nice to have category. Add in its retro good looks, rich fit and feel, price, and performance that left me wholly satisfied, opening as big a door onto musical enjoyment as I need, I cannot sing the Aurorasound HFSA-01’s praises loudly enough to anyone looking for an integrated amp that will feed your love of music with endless delight..."
