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..."

Voxativ / Lyric Audio / Fern & Roby - Best Sound at the RMAF 2016 (Video)

New arrival: Contrast Audio SOUL loudspeakers

Contrast Audio Soul Pro

 

Just arrived... Contrast Audio's new top-line speakers - the Contrast SOUL Pro is a high efficient floor-standing passive speaker system. Handmade from top to bottom in Kiev, the Ukraine, with minimum filtering and in-house made highly linear drivers. The Contrast SOUL incorporates all of the creation experience of all of Contrast’s designs and developments.

The cabinet is finished with a high quality, glossy piano finish. The front baffle is constructed of solid beech wood, and is mounted using a cork gasket to provide vibration control. The system also comes with adjustable stainless steel spikes that can be used to regulate the height.

For the low-frequency section a resonant port, a Laval Nozzle was used which provides:
• a more accurate linear characterization in the low-frequency range
• a lower frequency threshold
• the best possible frequency-shifting characteristics in the mid-range

In order to optimize the system the necessary adjustments in midrange- and bass-drivers as well as the tweeters were made. The sound is the typical Contrast Audio sound: a very natural sound with a warm, relaxed timbre - a pleasure to listen to and very enjoyable. The US retail price is $7,750 for the pair.

Voxativ received the Gold Show Award for Best Sound at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2016

Best Sound of the Show - Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2016

We're glad to announce that Voxativ received the Gold Show Award for Best Sound at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2016 from AVShowrooms.

Terry Eringi wrote: "...what a treat to walk into the Voxativ room and be greeted by Holger Adler. As usual with Voxativ, the room set-up was spot-on. Playing were the 9.87 loudspeakers with improved bass units that were low, extensive with perfect pitch. Holger played a track from the album “la fabuleuse histoire de Mister Swing” with Michel Jonasz on a Fern & Roby turntable with F&R’s new tonearm. We experienced that wonderful clear and perfectly integrated sound I’ve come to know over the years..." CLICK HERE for more info. (Video coming soon)

New review: Synergistic's BLACK fuses and BLACK UEF Duplex

Synergistic Research BLACK fuses and BLACK UEF duplexAn new review was just released on Enjoy the Music for Synergistic Research's BLACK fuses and BLACK UEF duplex receptacle.

Rick Becker concluded: "...if after trying the fuses and outlet you are impressed, you will be poised to spend large for cables and a PowerCell. That's where the fun really begins. The pain of doing so will be greatly reduced by the Black Fuses having doubled the apparent value of your phono stage, preamp and amplifier. While many will think of fuses as a tweak, to my mind, the Black Fuse has become an essential component. Reviewing these two products has been a ride (and the road goes on forever) so the Black Fuses and the UEF Black Duplex outlet are staying right here in my armory... even if you have laid out the $600,000 for the system I heard, I'd place a gentlemen's bet that you'd love it even more with Black Fuses and the UEF Black Duplex outlets in the wall. It's the least expensive way I know to give your system a qualitative upgrade of such magnitude..."
