New product arrival: VALVET E2 single-ended Class-A dual-mono amplifier

VALVET E2 single-ended Class-A dual-mono amplifier
Knut Cornils latest product just arrived. The successor of the E1r monos - the E2 stereo amplifier.

The E2 is a special amp, a very rare breed. It's a single-ended Class-A solid-state amplifier in dual-mono design. The E2 is entirely handmade in Germany and the sound is as pure as it gets with solid-state amplification. The E2 delivers 12 Watt per channel into 8 ohm (20 Watt into 4 Ohm).

The US retail price $2,790. If you have sensitive speakers (>90dB) the E2 might well be what you were always looking for.

Marigo CD Mat wins StereoTimes Most Wanted Component Award 2016

Marigo CD Mat - StereoTimes Most Wanted Component 2016 Award Dave Allison, The StereoTimes (Jan. 2017):
"...for those of us who still buy/play/rip physical media, this is a must try.  First, and perhaps most important, it’s as close to a universal CD/SACD/DVD/Blue Ray damper as you’ll find.  All previous mats I’ve used in my two very finicky transports have been chewed up and/or spit out.  The Clear Transformation is so thin and flexible that you’ll get no complaints from your player.  Sonically, it does away with digital artifacts while enhancing the richness and detail of your music.  At $199, it’s the least expensive digital accessory you’ll find that really makes a difference. Unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee from Marigo..."

Synergistic Research Galileo UEF Cable Series wins Product of the Year Award on TAS

Synergistic Research Galileo UEF Cable Series wins Product of the Year Award on TASJonathan Valin names Synergistic Research Galileo UEF The Absolute Sound's 2016 state-of-the-art cables of the year.
"...Ted Denney’s latest creations improve on the cumbersome ergonomics of his original Galileo multi-strand cables (which had to be plugged into and out of a multitude of boxes and actively biased via a plethora of wall-wart power supplies) by packaging most of that marvelous Synergistic technology into the cable itself. Better still, the Galileo UEFs significantly improve upon the truly stellar sonics of the original Galileos. Indeed, the UEFs are the best sounding wires Mr. Denney has yet devised, achieving a dead-center neutrality that is neither “bottom-up” nor “top-down” in tonal balance, without any sacrifice in natural warmth and timbre, resolution of detail, transient speed, dynamic power, imaging precision, or soundstage width, depth, and height. When you consider that the Galileo UEFs are also priced at one-third or one-quarter of what the original Galileos went for (and roughly one-tenth of what flagship cables and interconnects from certain other companies currently cost), you have a veritable bargain in ultra-high-end wire and a worthy TAS Interconnect and Speaker Cable of the Year Award winner..."

Key Kim wrote:
"...the Block 5 is a meticulously crafted anti-resonance device made by Langerton Configurations out of its production facility in Castle Trautskirchen in Germany.  They are atypical in that they are made from several different materials and are height adjustable.  After installing the Block 5s under my components, I immediately heard additional clarity, detail and speed with improved dynamic precision..."

Synergistic Research BLACK Quantum Fuse wins StereoTimes Most Wanted Component Award 2016

StereoTimes Most Wanted Component Award 2016StereoTimes Most Wanted Component Award 2016 - Synergistic Research BLACK Quantum Fuse
"...tiny fuses are a BIG hit! Who would ever think that two tiny audio amplifier fuses could have such a profound, positive result in what we hear from our audio system? That's exactly what happened when I switched from the two stock fuses that I had been using with my reference Behold stereo amplifier to Synergistic Research's new BLACK Quantum Fuses. Proprietor Alfred Kainz of Highend-Electronics located in California gave me superb service and sage advice regarding the best way to get maximum effect from these fuses. They are directional and require proper orientation to get the best results. In addition, the near super-conductor graphene is used which requires these fuses to have 25 to 200 hours of burn-in time for them to provide their optimum magic. The more the fuses burned in the more the soundstage increased, harmonics grew denser, and grip in the bass became tighter. All of these attributes allowed this listener to become much more emotionally involved with the music. Synergistic Research's new fuses seem to allow the amplifier to pass more important information along and perform at its very highest capacity. At $119.95 per fuse you owe it to yourself to give them a try. The results I experienced are a huge bang for the buck. Highly recommended!"

Aurorasound VIDA wins StereoTimes Most Wanted Component Award 2016

Aurorasound VIDA - Most Wanted Component Award 2016
Clement Perry of The StereoTimes wrote:

"...Key Kim's 2014 MW award and subsequent review (here) piqued my interest in this elegantly built phonostage from Japan. The Aurorasound VIDA incorporates state-of-the-art semiconductor technology (LCR-type network) and old-world craftsmanship to create a top performing phono amplifier. I concur wholeheartedly with Key's sonic descriptors: "...its black background is what sets the stage for its remarkable resolution, openness, and harmonic integrity..."

New review & award: Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF

Soundstage Reviewers' Choice AwardHoward Kneller of SoundStage concluded:
"...the PowerCell 12 UEF SE just might represent the state of the art of power conditioning. It is a testament to the long way Synergistic Research has come since Ted Denney felt that he had yet to discover a power-conditioning technology worth taking further. But in addition to performance, the PowerCell 12 UEF SE offers high value. You won’t find many, if any, competing models that offer 12 outlets, a topnotch power cord, and an AC wall outlet, all for $5995. And while I’m generally not keen on visual gimcracks, that big window in the PowerCell 12 UEF SE’s top plate presents a display that impresses audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike. Does all this mean that the PowerCell 12 UEF SE wins a Reviewers’ Choice award? You betcha..."

New arrival: Synergistic Research Green ATM - Atmosphere Tuning Module

Synergistic Research Green ATM - Atmosphere Tuning ModuleBRAND NEW - JUST ARRIVED

The new “Green” ATM or is a significant breakthrough in acoustic resolution for the Synergistic Research Atmosphere Field Generator. Compared directly to the original Red ATM the Green ATM is a faster resonator portraying acoustics and recordings with a lower noise floor for enhanced detail and air. Notes seem to decay into a darker background while the overall sound field seems to extend further in all directions; front to back, side to side and top to bottom.
