The Absolute Sound's 2018 Golden Ear Awards
|
|
|
Three of our favorite products have been honored with the 2018 Golden Ear Award. All three awards were given by Jonathan Valin (The Absolute Sound Issue 286, Septemer 2018).
Two went to Synergistic Research for the PowerCell 12 UEF SE and Galileo UEF Cables.
Jonathan Valin writes:

"...how does Galileo UEF sound? Well, when you hear something that is 'real' enough to give you goosebumps it is almost ipso facto obvious that it is getting everything of audible musical importance 'right'—timbres, dynamics, durations, pitches, imaging, soundstaging, etc. And it is delivering all of them with the inimitable immediacy of real music being played live. This sense of every musical element being delivered with lifelike pace and in lifelike proportion is what fools and delights you. And it’s this sense of lifelike pace and proportion that Synergistic Galileo UEF offers up on a more regular basis than almost any other cables I’ve tried. Though UEF isn’t cheap, it is a no-brainer top recommendation, as is the PowerCell 12 UEF SE that you plug your gear into and that has precisely the same neutrality, fidelity, resolution, dynamics, and realism as the cables..."

The third Golden Ear Award went to the Voxativ 9.87 loudspeakers.

New review: Lyric's Ti200 parallel single-ended amp
|
|
Greg Simmons of The StereoTimes wrote:
"...if you’re in the market for an integrated amplifier, or even separates in this price range, it would be well worth your while to check out the Lyric Ti-200. Don’t let the relatively low power rating put you off. This is a muscular sounding amp capable of delivering as much quality sound as most people would ever want. Highly recommended."

New review: HighEnd Novum PMR Premium Mk.II
|
|
|
|
Greg Voth of The StereoTimes concluded:
"...we audiophiles tend to over-dramatize the effect of the slightest improvement by tweak… this is NOT one of those times. However esoteric the Novum PMR ll might appear, it’s the real deal, folks. After my experience at Dan’s, hearing the Novum PMR both in and out of his system, I went home and tried making my own version, investing some pocket change in a gong . Things didn’t go as planned… if it worked at all, the effect was too subtle. However, it did give my rig a nice 'audio alter' focal point. Not so with the new Novum PMR ll Multifocal Resonator – whether by science, voodoo or nose to the grind stone audio technical knowhow, I can tell you that both the original and this new model of the PMR ll work wonderfully as reported. I’ll have this PMR II in my system from this point on!"

New product: Synergistic Research GCT
|
|
|
Ground Circuit Transducers (a variation of the popular ECT) are engineered to clean up the ground in your components at the circuit level. Even if you are already using a ground filter like the SR Active and Passive Ground Blocks, GCTs can create a dramatic effect. Simply place GCTs near the grounding point in any circuit or component for an immediate improvement in sound quality. Global MSRP is $299 for a set/3 or $149 for a single GCT.

|
The new MC-1 Pro Power Conditioner uses Magnetic Conduction in a different way from other High Fidelity Cables products. A trickle down from the Pro Elite Power Conditioner, it uses aspects of the newly-patented capacitor design. HFC couples the power of traditional capacitor filtering with their most powerful magnetic waveguides. The global retail price is $1,599.
