By Alfred Kainz | 11 February, 2015 | Read more
We are very glad to announce award number 8 for the Aurorasound VIDA phono stage. This award makes us especially happy because it's the first award in the US - it's the Most Wanted Component 2014 Award by The StereoTimes.
Key Kim wrote: "...the elegantly built VIDA incorporates state-of-the-art semiconductor technology (LCR-type network) and old-world craftsmanship to create a top performing phono amplifier. I’m really enjoying my vinyl collection immensely with the VIDA; its black background is what sets the stage for its remarkable resolution, openness, and harmonic integrity..." Check it out

The M50 PSET drives my Conspiracy Audio loudspeakers beautifully. It is at once, open, transparent, and natural sounding - with gorgeous midrange fidelity..."  (Full review coming soon) Check it out

Most Wanted Component 2014 Award for HFT and FEQ

We are glad to announce that Synergistic Research's HFT and FEQ received a Most Wanted Component 2014 Award by The StereoTimes.
 
Mike Girardi wrote: "...the largest component in one’s system is the listening room yet it the one component that is commonly overlooked and misunderstood. The HFTs are tiny high frequency transducers that clean up high frequency harmonics in your listening room by cancelling the harmonic noise generated by room resonances. The FEQ is an ultra low frequency RF pulse generator that acts as a low frequency dither to overpower the ambient RFI and EMI fields. The combination of the FEQ and HFTs has made the biggest improvement in my system’s performance since I been reviewing high end audio components over the last 11 years. Considering the physical size of the HFTs and FEQ as compared to all other room acoustic enhancement devices and their comparative performance, the FEQ and HFT resides in the best in class category for room acoustic treatment. From an ergonomic and aesthetic standpoint alone they are revolutionary in the application of room acoustic enhancement. Happy was the day I removed my previous reference room acoustic treatments and replaced them with the FEQ and HFT's (and it wasn’t a secret that my family felt the same way). The combination of the FEQ and HFT is a paradigm shift in room treatment device design and delivers on its promised performance..." Check it out

Most Wanted Component 2014 Award for the new PowerCell

By Alfred Kainz | 11 February, 2015 | Read more

We are glad to announce that Synergistic Research's PowerCell UEF and PowerCell FEQ received a Most Wanted Component 2014 Award by The StereoTimes.

Mike Girardi wrote: "...In this latest iteration of the PowerCell, the PowerCell 10 UEF, SR found a way to build upon the concept of line conditioning and took it to the next level with the implementation of the Uniform Energy Field (UEF) technology. Compared the previous model, the PC UEF, excelled in the areas of lowering the noise floor, enhancing the microdynamics, expanding the soundstage in all directions, presenting a more relaxed tonal balance, and tightening the mid and lower bass. The FEQ PowerCell Equalizer, designed to reclock the Powercell 10 UEF from the resident ac frequency of 60 kHz to a rich low frequency harmonic, showed itself as an essential musical upgrade to the PC UEF by increasing the image density and depth while providing a more natural and relaxed presentation. The PowerCell 10 UEF and FEQ PowerCell Equalizer are engineering breakthroughs that are well made, deliver on their promised performance, and have taken my system to a level I never thought possible. Together, they are my new reference..." Check it out

New review for the HighEnd Novum PMR Premium Mk.II

By Alfred Kainz | 01 February, 2015 | Read more

The HighEnd Novum PMR Premium Mk.II was reviewed on HiFiSTATEMENT.com

Dirk Sommer, HiFiSTATEMENT.net (Nov. 2013):
"...the PMR convinced me fully in two rooms in a total of three constellations. Who craves more definition and a more airy space around instruments and voices should try the PMR. Depending on the situation, you can gain at least the same but usually significantly more with the investment in a PMR compared to the same sum in better cables..." Check out the entire review

Rave review for the German hand-made Wall Audio M33 SET mono blocks

By Alfred Kainz | 01 February, 2015 | Read more

 

We are glad to announce a rave review the German hand-made Wall Audio M33 SET mono blocks received. The amps were reviewed at Matej Isak's "Mono & Stereo high-end audio magazine".
Kenneth Jensen (Mono & Stereo) concluded: "...the build quality is superb. They seem like they could last a life time and look pretty darn good too...to sum it up. Its the first time in 20 years I've been found of SET amplifiers. And in such a degree that I’ve kept them and they are now my new reference at home leaving some much more expensive amplifier in the dust! Cause I won’t be going back to using what I’ve had. They are that good! ...I can full heartedly recommend these amplifiers with confidence to everybody who wants to try out SET amps. They are to say at least quit cheap compared to what you get. And must be looked at as a bargain in the triode world! Highly recommended. And put up for the component of the year award in my eyes!"
