New review: Aurorasound VIDA phono stage on The StereoTimes

Aurorasound VIDA phono stage

A brand new review was released today. Key Kim of The StereoTimes spent some time with Aurorasound's VIDA phono stage.

Key Kim wrote:
"...I could tell immediately the VIDA’s noise floor was very low, allowing the music to emerge infused with very detailed information... Bass performance was excellent with very deep extension, definition, and control. Pitch in the lowest octaves was accurately defined and to my delight the VIDA was able to delineate the contrabass pizzicatos and bass guitar snaps brilliantly with outstanding speed, pace and drive...The VIDA’s ability to illuminate timbre and detail was excellent. While rich and full, instrumental textures were not too ripe or romanticized. Attacks were fast and sharp, yet lively. Equally the midrange was impressive. The human and instrumental voices were reproduced naturally in a well- balanced texture, body, and tone. The voices were wonderfully rendered with revealing detail and nuance, providing for an extremely organic and involving presentation..."

New review: Synergistic Research Atmosphere Cables & Grounding Block

Synergistic Research Atmosphere Cables

A review of Synergistic's amazing Atmosphere Cables and Grounding Block was just released in StereoTimes. 

Mike Girardi concluded: "...I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these cables and Grounding Bar. The SR Atmosphere signal cables excel in all areas as compared to my previous reference and my previous reference was nominated by multiple members of the ST staff as a Most Wanted Component.  A component worthy of the designation, the state of the art and sets the bar much higher in terms of performance vs cost. The new Atmosphere Level 4 signal cables and Ground Bar are my new reference..."

New review: Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 Cables

Synergistic Research Atmosphere Cable Level 4 PFO review

Robert S. Youman, Positive Feedback Online, June 2015:

"...the Atmosphere cable affords us a huge sound stage that reaches out in all directions of the recording venue. The level of transparency and breath taking transient speed is impressive.."

"...there is a tremendous depth and separation between the musicians. The weight and authority of the orchestra comes through in a dramatic fashion like the real thing. Strings are particularly rich and vibrant with plenty of jump factor. Another winner from the original Decca team, yet the Atmosphere interconnects and speaker cable can double your pleasure"

"...one of my go to cables is the Synergistic Research Element CTS. Active shielding is an important design feature of this series. They consistently provide some the most engaging music that I have experienced. The UEF active shield tuning circuits add that last bit of flexibility that can help you voice your cable to specific system needs. Build quality and performance from top to bottom are tough to equal… Substituting the Atmosphere Level 4 for the CTS Element was a considerable step up. I was surprised by the results as the price points of the Atmosphere series is appreciably less than that of the Element series..."

"...better sound for less money from the same manufacturer? My goodness, how often does this happen?"

"...compared to the CTS Element, which was one of my well established benchmarks, the Atmosphere Level 4 is now the new gold standard in this price range and significantly beyond. There are several flagship cables at two to three times the MSRP that have been left in their tracks. I predict that the competition will soon be scratching their heads and scrambling for better answers..."
