Newsletter -Â July 2016

We're back from this year's T.H.E. Show Newport Beach which was a great success for us. One of our rooms was mentioned in two publications as Best Sound of the Show.

Jack Roberts of Dagogo.com: "...the sound was as good or better than anything at the show at any price. I love single-driver speakers and even with the bass extender, the sound was that of one of the best single-driver speakers I have ever heard. Again, let me say this was easily one of the very best sounds of the show. In price, it’s not quite a mega-system, but in sound it surely was!"

Jonathan Valin of The Absolute Sound: "...neutral and absolutely seamless, the 9.87 (along with Voxativ’s Ampeggio Due) is simply the fullest-range, most natural-sounding one-way (or augmented one-way) I’ve ever heard. And once you’ve heard a speaker without a crossover that is this good, it makes everything else sound just the slightest bit cobbled together from parts. No, you’re not going to get the dynamic range of a horn speaker from the 9.87, nor quite the same resolution or treble extension that you get from the Gauder, but what you are going to get is true point-source imaging and a sound that doesn’t change a jot in timbre from octave to octave..."

The system in this room consisted of Voxativ's 9.87 speakers, 845 mono blocks, Ampeggio preamp, interconnect and speaker cables. Totaldac DAC & Server, Synergistic Research PowerCell with Galileo LE power cords and Tranquility Base. To balance out the room acoustics the Atmosphere XL with two Black Boxes as well as the HighEnd Novum PMR Premium Mk.2 room resonator were used.

NEW: Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF

The PowerCell 12 UEF is the first PowerCell to utilize Graphene to dramatically increase EM Cell efficiency. Components plugged into the PowerCell 12 UEF actually draw more current than they do when connected directly to the wall due to the new EM Cell topology acting like a Super Capacitor to deliver peak current on demand that surpasses available wall current. Test measurements show components connected to the new PowerCell to have a 2db drop in the noise floor and increased dynamic headroom.

It comes in 3 different versions: PowerCell 12 UEF – MSRP $4495 / PowerCell 12 UEF SE – MSRP $5495 / PowerCell 12 UEF SE w/Glass Top – MSRP $5995. The SE versions come with UEF Black Duplex and 32Amp Atmosphere PowerCell Level 3 power cord. First units ship in August.

NEW: Audio Magic Beeswax SHD fuses

The price of $175 remains the same.

New review: Auroraound VIDA

We're glad to announce a new review for the VIDA was released on 6moons.com.

Marja & Henk of 6moons.com wrote: "...in conclusion, your two tube fanciers here were very impressed by what Karaki-san has designed and built up with just transistors. Fortunately there's a tendency for current LP releases to differ from the CD and streaming releases of the same recording. The latter two are prone to dynamic compression whilst the analog version rejoices in the full dynamic headroom. With a phono stage like the Vida, all of vinyl's hidden treasures are revealed fully and out in the open yet the phono stage itself stays courteously in the background like the perfect butler with white gloves..."

New review: Wall Audio M50 PSET mono blocks

Wall Audio's powerful parallel single-ended M50 mono bocks were reviewed on The StereoTimes.

Key Kim wrote: "...the Wall Audio’s midrange is glorious in timbre, tone color, liquidity, and freedom from grain. Its ability to bring to life, music’s underlining emotions was as impressive as I have heard in its price range and above. The M50 renders instruments and voices with a natural and organic quality. It didn’t matter whether I was listening to chamber music or female vocalists. Listening to Cassandra Wilson’s vinyl recording of the New Moon Daughter was exceptional. The M50 reproduced Wilson’s husky and hypnotic voice exquisitely; there was a fabulous amount of details. The pitch precision and subtle volume changes that convey feelings and moods were presented with a great sense of musical realism and emotional involvement..." CLICK HERE to check it out.
