Operable with the BluOS app, the supplied remote control or through hands-free control with any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, the M33’s front panel never needs to be touched. DIRAC Live Room Correction On BoardExperts agree that room acoustics are the weakest link in most sound systems with room reflections deteriorating tonal balance and dynamics. Dirac, one of the most highly regarded Room Correction systems available, not only adjusts for frequency response, but unlike other room correction systems, it also optimises the impulse response. By optimizing the speaker/room interface, music sounds more natural and lifelike.Supplied with the M33 is a precision microphone to measure the room at and around the listening position so your system can be precisely calibrated for optimum performance. Even the most sophisticated loudspeakers can be markedly improved using Dirac calibration. Each of the 5 Dirac memory slots can store a unique room measurement or different frequency target curves to suit a particular musical taste or genre. Flexibility Meets Long-Term ValueIn its standard form, the M33 is very complete with a wide range of in/outputs, BluOS, Dirac, HDMI and more already fully integrated. It will meet the requirements of the most demanding users. To minimize the risk of future obsolescence, the M33 comes with two MDC (Modular Design Construction) slots that allow for further expansion. NAD introduced the MDC platform well over a decade ago and allowed updating products with new technologies which didn’t even exist at time of introduction Connection and Wireless FlexibilityWhether looking to connect digital or analogue sources, the M33 comes well equipped to accommodate for all of these: 6 digital inputs and 3 analogue inputs, including MM phono. Around back, the rear panel hosts two sets of speaker outputs capable of bi-wiring and a stereo Subwoofer Output with a fully configurable Digital Crossover. Airplay 2 and Bluetooth AptX-HD allow for local wireless streaming from a phone or tablet.*Some features will be available via a future software update Phono and Headphones Are Not ForgottenThe M33 has a high-quality MM Phono Input that rivals specialized outboard units. Accurate RIAA equalization, a clever phase cancelling infrasonic filter, and a huge overload margin combine to bring out the best in LPs. Furthermore, headphone enthusiasts will delight at the sound of the discrete headphone amplifier, which is able to drive even planar and high impedance studio phones. With high voltage and low output impedance, headphones will sound their best. For those who wish to enjoy their headphones but not be tethered to a cable, the integrated Bluetooth AptX-HD module makes it possible to enjoy wireless headphones as well. Attractive Design With Outstanding ErgonomicsThe all alloy casework is elegant yet practical. The single control knob for volume is supplemented by a colour LCD touchscreen display. Rigid panels with magnetic iso-point feet provide a solid foundation for the multi-layer circuit boards and intricate internal construction. The M33 employs a completely modern and fresh take on the traditional stereo amplifier, with features and performance from the future. Smart Home Integration Made EasyBluOS provides hands-free control with full integration of any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device. Through Airplay 2, control is also possible with Siri. Considerable effort has been spent to make the M33 fully compatible with all the leading smart home systems from leading companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, KNX and many others. This means that along with lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, the integrator or user can seamlessly control the BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface.

Thanks to selectable balanced inputs, the C 268 is a natural mate for high-end preamps and processors. These inputs include a trim control useful for matching with other components, or for use in bi-amping speakers. A line out allows further addition of power on the same channel for extra speakers or subwoofers. On top of all this connectivity is a bridge switch that turns the C 268 into an amazingly powerful Monobloc amplifier.You can also pair the C 268 with the NAD C 368 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier, and with both units bridged for mono, 300 watts per channel of distortion-free sound become available for your listening pleasure. The C 268’s auto-sense feature with selectable threshold is perfect for automating complex systems or for hiding the amp out of sight in a cabinet. Included with the C 268 is a ground lug that is very useful for eliminating ground loops and noise in complex multi-unit systems. Getting the Basics RightAs a member of NAD’s Classic Series, the C 268 delivers a richly satisfying sonic performance thanks to its “music-first” features. Accurate channel balance, proper input and output impedance characteristics, and low noise circuits all come together within this one stereo power amplifier. Additionally the C 268’s line inputs, both balanced and single-ended, can accommodate all kinds of analogue source components by offering ideal input impedance traits with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by unfitting loading of the source device. Sophisticated PowerHaving moved away from old fashioned linear power supplies and Class AB output stages, NAD has developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD’s advanced work in this area has resulted in some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. The overall design of the C 268 is very linear over a wide bandwidth, providing dramatic advances over previous models with consistent performance into all speaker loads.The power supply of the C 268 is capable of nearly 200 watts continuously and over 500 watts instantaneously, allowing for short term musical transients. NAD’s innovative asymmetrical PowerDrive fully utilizes every last watt available with its vast reserves of dynamic power available to accurately reproduce the most demanding music without distortion or compression. It can also operate with any AC mains voltage from 100V to 240V, and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of the C 268. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.The C 268 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been carefully crafted and perfectly executed to wring out ever last drop of performance. - [NAD C298 Stereo Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/nad-c298-stereo-amp/) - NAD C298 Stereo AmplifierPowerful.

Getting the Basics RightIt is surprising how many seemingly advanced products in the market today often miss many of the most basic requirements for satisfying performance. Low noise circuits, accurate channel balance, proper input and output impedance characteristics, high overload margins and stability with difficult speaker loads. NAD starts by getting these things precisely right and advances from there. Our line inputs, both Balanced and Single-ended, can accommodate all kinds of analog source components by offering ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation caused by inappropriate loading of the source device. These are all details you can hear. Sophisticated PowerNAD has moved away from the old fashioned and very power hungry linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that waste nearly half of the energy consumed producing heat rather than sound. Instead we have developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD’s advanced work in this area has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a dramatic advance over previous models.The generously dimensioned power supply easily allows for 185 watts continuous and over 570 watts instantaneous power for short term musical transients. Innovative Asymmetrical Power-Drive fully utilizes every last watt available with its vast reserves of dynamic power available to accurately reproduce musical transients without distortion or compression. It can operate with any AC mains voltage from 100v to 240v and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of the C 298. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages. Purifi ‘Eigentakt’ Amplifier TechnologyPurifi is a Danish technology company that has brought together several of the industry’s leading engineers to apply advanced mathematical modelling to solve the last remaining limitations of audio amplifiers. While there are many good sounding amplifiers on the market today, Purifi has taken a fresh look at every aspect of amplifier performance and found many seemingly small non-linearities that can make a dramatic difference in the overall sound. This return to first principles has resulted in a stunningly simple approach to some remarkably complex problems. With features and technology unmatched by other amplifiers in its class, the C 298 amplifier is an easy upgrade for any system and a surprising partner for the most sophisticated and advanced loudspeakers on the market.

Vibrations are sound, and sound is vibrations. This becomes particularly evident with the sound pickup of turntables, amplifiers, preamplifiers, power conditioners, streamers, etc. Also many other components like tubes are microphonic, which means that vibrations have an impact upon the output signal. Therefore, all disturbing influences in the whole chain need to be eliminated. Seismion Reactio 2 brings you closer to that goal than ever before (the advantage of active isolation). Originally developed to meet the highest standards for applications like semiconductor inspection, nanotechnology and industrial metrology, it is now also available for the high-end audio field. Isolating Vibrations Above 1 HzIsolation is absolutely crucial for high-end audio systems. Even the slightest vibration from ambient sources is affecting the sound reproduction. Transistors, tube amplifiers and also speakers are components especially sensitive to vibration excitation.As most vibrations are reaching the equipment through the floor, the critical frequency range is typically in the range from 2 to 10 Hz. This is where the active Reactio 2 is performing especially well.Being an active system, it features extremely sensitive piezoelectric sensors, which detect even the smallest vibrations. An all-analog electronic control circuit generates the required compensation forces. It was possible to minimize distortions and noise floor down to one half compared to the former Reactio plus.Inspired by Newton’s third law of motion, Seismion Reactio 2 produces exactly the required counter forces to stop any vibration, coming from the base or being generated in the unit itself. The result is simply pure music like one has hardly experienced before.Seismion Reactio 2 features a totally new design with a single push-button with LED indication. The top and bottom plates are made of MDF to provide further passive damping in the high frequency range.Available in Gray/Black and Black/Black.Available in two sizes:23.75\"L x 20\"L x 3.75\"H - $19,995 USD / 330 lb capacity19.75\"L x 16\"W x 3.75\"H -$16,000 USD / 143 lb capacity Learn more about this amazing product!Seismion Website - [Synergistic Research Quark Streaming Server](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-quark-streaming-server/) - Synergistic Research Quark Streaming ServerThe Smallest Particle Carries the Greatest Force The Quark Music Streaming Server takes everything Synergistic Research learned engineering the Voodoo and concentrates it into a compact, low-power architecture that changes what’s possible at this price point. A smaller chassis. Simplified circuitry. A refined power supply. And an improved ULF antenna implementation that pushes the technology further than the original Voodoo design.The result is a streaming server that, when outfitted with identical cables, performs remarkably close to the full-size Voodoo. Not close for its size. Not close for its price. Close, period.This isn’t a scaled-down Voodoo. It’s a fundamentally rethought one.Less PowerLess NoiseMore MusicIn digital audio, power is the enemy of purity. Every watt a computer draws generates electrical noise that contaminates the signal path. High-performance CPUs, complex motherboards, and power-hungry components all add thermal and electromagnetic interference that no amount of downstream filtering can fully undo. The most advanced audiophile servers in the world have arrived at the same conclusion: the quietest server is the one that draws the least power.The Quark’s low-power architecture embraces this principle from the ground up. By selecting a simplified motherboard and lower-power processing platform, the Quark dramatically reduces internally generated noise at the source. This isn’t a compromise. It’s a strategic advantage. Fewer active components mean a shorter, cleaner path from storage to output.A simplified power supply means less conversion noise and fewer regulation stages between the wall and the circuit. The result is a digital transport where the music emerges from a background so black it redefines what you thought your DAC was capable of.The Quark features an improved ULF antenna and implementation that advances the technology originally developed for the Voodoo. This next-generation ULF circuit addresses ambient RF noise that degrades digital circuits, synchronizing the electromagnetic environment to the Earth’s Schumann Resonance for a dramatic reduction in high-frequency hash and digital compression.Three selectable ULF frequencies let you voice the Quark to your system, your room, and the music you’re listening to:Blue (Default): Linear note transitions from low to high frequencies with a relaxed midrange. Large, enveloping soundstage. The natural starting point for most systems and recordings.Green: Slightly more forward midrange presence with added bass weight. A compelling alternative for systems that benefit from additional warmth and density.Red: Optimized for recordings mastered with significant phase information and holographic soundstaging. Electronic, ambient, and large-scale orchestral recordings take on surreal three-dimensional depth.These settings don’t color the music or alter the data stream. They reshape the ambient RF environment surrounding the circuit, and the audible difference is immediate. Electromagnetic ConditioningResonance Refined. Signal Preserved.The Quark inherits the same patented EM Cell technology deployed across Synergistic Research’s PowerCell line conditioners, Active Ground Blocks, and the full Voodoo digital ecosystem. Developed and refined over fifteen years, EM Cells condition the Quark’s internal DC power supply and computer circuitry, targeting noise at the source before it can reach the signal path.Within the Quark’s compact chassis, EM Cells project an electromagnetic field that filters and redirects contaminants while preserving the integrity of the digital signal. The result is a lower noise floor, greater resolution, and the kind of effortless, uncompressed presentation that separates reference digital from everything else. System ConfigurationStronger TogetherThe Quark is engineered to perform as a standalone streaming server. It’s also engineered to scale.Quark + Voodoo: Use the Voodoo as your Roon Core Server and the Quark as your dedicated endpoint. The Voodoo handles library management and processing while the Quark focuses exclusively on audio output, delivering the cleanest possible signal to your DAC.Quark + Quark: Two Quarks operating as a dedicated core/endpoint pair deliver reference-level separation at a combined investment well below a dual-Voodoo configuration.Both configurations benefit from the complete Synergistic Research digital ecosystem, including the Ethernet Switch UEF Mk II, Network Router UEF, and our full line of digital cables. Each additional component in the chain applies the same UEF technology and Six Pillars framework, compounding the performance gains across the entire signal path. - [SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-streamer/) - [Von Schweikert The One](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/von-schweikert-the-one/) - Von Schweikert The One Loudspeaker The model ONE (formerly Endeavor) is Von Schweikert\'s entry into the world of visceral fidelity. It is a compact, affordable, full-range, three-way loudspeaker representing an end-game purchase for many listeners. Features include our signature beryllium tweeter from our flagship Ultra series, two long-throw aluminum woofers, a Kevlar midrange, and a rear-mounted ribbon ambient retrieval tweeter.The One has no discernible sweet spot and provides a deep, layered, three-dimensional sound field. It\'s available in American walnut finish and a wide range of custom automotive finishes to suit any decor. Rear Sound Field Creation Albert Von Schweikert\'s earliest research led to the development of an adjustable ambiance retrieval system radiating from the speaker\'s rear to recreate a natural soundfield of space & depth using a concert hall recording method known as the spaced omni method. This system replicates the effect when microphones used for recording encode the musical signal with overlaying pickup response patterns.After studios make a series of recordings using several different microphone types, the playback from each device has tonal differences and create various imaging patterns. This creates a differing perception of space & depth dependent on the recording environment, microphone placement, and each microphone\'s distinct off-axis polar response.From this framework, our rear soundfield system creates a natural soundstage, regardless of the recording, microphone type, and recording technique used. Most importantly, the system allows the playback response to remain as close as possible to what was intended by the engineer. - [Von Schweikert Foundation ARIS Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/von-schweikert-foundation-aris-subwoofer/) - Von Schweikert Foundation ARIS Subwoofer Foundation ARIS subwoofers are available in 12” and 15” sizes and feature slotted port quasi-transmission line loading. With the “Analog Room Integration System™,” these subwoofers integrate perfectly into any room and with any loudspeaker design, retaining the hallmark power, speed, and detail Von Schweikert speakers are known for.A light and stiff carbon fiber driver featuring a vented voice coil and massive motor is perfectly tuned to deliver response down to 12hz. Powering the system is our proprietary Foundation amplifier technology, outputting 1000 watts. The amplifier circuit features an isolation transformer, which allows us to take the signal directly from the system\'s main amplifier for the purest signal tracking, lowest distortion, and zero signal delay. ARIS: Analog Room Integration System In the Von Schweikert way, the 800-watt Foundation amplifier powers the woofers. Unlike other active DSP designs, the full range of the signal passes entirely through the analog crossover network. This allows the tonal characteristics of the customer\'s preferred power amplifier without compromise yet offers the increased dynamics and precise adjustment of your in-room bass response. Whether you prefer the sound signature of a medium power tube amplifier or a high power solid-state unit, no problem. The analog purity, increased power, and dynamics enhance your investment in a high-end loudspeaker.Audio professionals and seasoned audiophiles understand the limiting factor in the performance of a system is the listening room. While some listeners have the luxury of a dedicated room outfitted with expensive and often ineffective room treatment, most do not. Within the spectrum of room acoustic challenges, speaker placement is dictated mainly by specific room bass modes activated by the speaker within a room.As a result, audiophiles traditionally place their speakers well into the room to mitigate this problem. It should be noted that irregular bass output caused by the room significantly affects middle and high frequencies with overall tonal balance.The Analog Room Integration System allows listeners to locate their speakers where they look and sound best. This flexibility and exceptional room optimization tool is accomplished in a completely analog mode without the use of digital signal processing eschewed by purists because of its potential to introduce time and phase distortions and without affecting the performance of the main system amplifier.This speaker model can be built as fully passive, or as an optional upgrade with the Analog Room Integration System.Phase is adjustable in either standard or inverted polarity from O-360 degrees depending on the application, for example, bass reinforcement or irregular room bass modes in the room. Triple-wall Quiet Cabinet Developed in 1994 by Albert Von Schweikert in association with lab partners from Cal Tech, Von Schweikert cabinets are fabricated using a proprietary triple-wall laminate construction technique. Despite inventive efforts by other makers using aluminum and sheet extruded composites, this triple-wall method remains the gold standard of non-resonant enclosure design.Our quiet cabinet design\'s outermost layer uses a resin-based HDF (high-density fiberboard) sheet. The middle layer is made of synthetic stone adhered to the outer layer using a resin binder. The final layer is a dense woven damping material. The resulting triple-wall composite is approximately three inches in overall thickness. Once the cabinet is assembled, internal bracing is added so that various areas of the cabinet have varying stiffness levels.The elaborate construction techniques combine to create differing native Qs, working together as a symbiotic system of resonance-cancellation to efficiently turn unwanted energy into heat for the absolute best in cabinet vibration control. - [Von Schweikert Ultra 11](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ultra-11/) - Von Schweikert Ultra 11 Over three years in development, Von Schweikert Audio is releasing the ULTRA Line; an entire new series of world-class flagship reference loudspeakers.

Uniquely, the back panel of the ULTRA.5 is equipped with three professional audio autotransformers, allowing individual control over each frequency band. Consider pairing the ULTRA.5 with our Foundation Analog Bass Control System for enhanced room placement flexibility and in-room performance.Choose from a range of stunning stock or custom multi-layer automotive finishes to complement your ULTRA speakers and make the ULTRA.5 the last stop on your audio journey. Rear Sound Field Creation Albert Von Schweikert\'s earliest research led to the development of an adjustable ambiance retrieval system radiating from the speaker\'s rear to recreate a natural sound field of space & depth using a concert hall recording method known as the spaced omni method. This system replicates the effect when microphones used for recording encode the musical signal with overlaying pickup response patterns.After studios make a series of recordings using several different microphone types, the playback from each device has tonal differences and create various imaging patterns. This creates a differing perception of space & depth dependent on the recording environment, microphone placement, and each microphone\'s distinct off-axis polar response.From this framework, our rear soundfield system creates a natural soundstage, regardless of the recording, microphone type, and recording technique used. Most importantly, the system allows the playback response to remain as close as possible to what was intended by the engineer.Drivers & Crossovers For our midrange and bass drivers (exclusive of the sub-bass drivers found in our ULTRA.nine, ULTRA.eleven, and SHOCKWAVE subwoofer series), Von Schweikert has selected Accuton of Germany’s drivers manufactured using ceramic cones. Producing drivers made from Al²O³ hard ceramics offers an incredibly light, stiff cone with high internal damping.Ceramic cones also offer our engineers a mass/stiffness ratio surpassed only by cones made of beryllium and diamond, which are materials that most often are only suitable for smaller diameter drivers used for reproducing high frequencies, such as tweeters Ceramic drivers offer us the best impulse response and significantly reduced distortion over more conventional drivers, as well as we as increased bandwidth and linearly within their useable range.Industry professionals recognize VSA as one of the most experienced and best practices for using these extraordinary drivers.For the highest frequencies, we have selected the best Danish beryllium tweeters. Our chosen beryllium tweeter is extremely stiff and light. It has high power handling, exceptional detail, and superb dispersion across its usable range. While many associate beryllium tweeters with a certain sterile sound, by correctly applying our proprietary crossover network topology to this remarkable driver, the opposite is true.In short, the VSA beryllium tweeter offers some of the finest and most satisfying high-frequency reproduction in any commercial loudspeaker, regardless of price. - [Von Schweikert VR.Thirty](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/von-schweikert-vrthirty/) - Von Schweikert VR.Thirty The VR.thirty is the latest addition to the VR series of full-range loudspeakers and is the fullest expression of our price-to-performance paradigm. Affectionately referred to as the “Mini Seven,” after our ULTRA.seven model it resembles, the VR.thirty is our second design utilizing three ultra-fast ceramic honeycomb woofers; it also features a low-mass, high-definition ceramic midrange driver, our signature beryllium dome tweeter, and a rear-mounted ambient retrieval ribbon driver.Hand-built point-to-point crossovers wired throughout with MasterBuilt Reference cabling, the VR.thirty is available in either a passive or Foundation Hybrid Bass Management System. Powerful, deep, and nuanced bass, see through to the midrange, and detailed, extended high-frequency response are the VR.thirty’s hallmarks that every discerning music lover will find compelling.Like all VSA loudspeakers, the VR.thirty has no discernible sweet spot and can be enjoyed anywhere in the room. Foundation Hybrid Bass SystemIn the Von Schweikert way, the optional 800-watt Foundation amplifier powers the woofers. Unlike other active DSP designs, the full range of the signal passes entirely through the analog crossover network. This allows the tonal characteristics of the customer\'s preferred power amplifier without compromise yet offers the increased dynamics and precise adjustment of your in-room bass response. Triple-wall Quiet CabinetDeveloped in 1994 by Albert Von Schweikert in association with lab partners from Cal Tech, Von Schweikert cabinets are fabricated using a proprietary triple-wall laminate construction technique. Despite inventive efforts by other makers using aluminum and sheet extruded composites, this triple-wall method remains the gold standard of non-resonant enclosure design. Rear Soundfield CreationAlbert Von Schweikert\'s earliest research led to the development of an adjustable ambiance retrieval system radiating from the speaker\'s rear to recreate a natural soundfield of space & depth using a concert hall recording method known as the spaced omni method. This system replicates the effect when microphones used for recording encode the musical signal with overlaying pickup response patterns. Drivers & CrossoversFor our midrange and bass drivers (exclusive of the sub-bass drivers found in our ULTRA.nine, ULTRA.eleven, and SHOCKWAVE subwoofer series), Von Schweikert has selected Accuton of Germany’s drivers manufactured using ceramic cones. Custom Cabinet FinishingBeauty and artistry is a fundamental element of the Von Schweikert listening experience. Fausto Reyes is responsible for the finish of every speaker that leaves our factory. Fausto and his team painstakingly labor by hand to apply our brilliant multi-coat finishes. While we regularly apply automotive inspired paint colors, Fausto’s process is different.The reason for this is before joining Von Schweikert, Fausto led the pro division of Fender Guitar where he oversaw the painting of custom guitar finishes for some of the most notable musicians and wealthiest collectors in the world— Prince and Aerosmith to name just a few.

A 384-pound, five-driver, three-way loudspeaker, the S7 represents the most ambitious and definitive realization of the platform—bringing together years of research, engineering, and listening experience into a single uncompromising design. The modern S Series was redefined with the debut of the S3 in 2023, followed by the more ambitious S5, and then the remarkably compact S2. With the arrival of the S7, that journey reaches its pinnacle—bold, imposing, and engineered to deliver reference-level performance worthy of the series’ legacy. Advanced EngineeringThe S7 is the product of an extensive research-and-development program that introduced engineering methodologies now fundamental to Magico’s flagship M Series. During development, engineers employed a Near-Field Scanner (NFS) robot to measure the loudspeaker’s acoustic behavior across the entire three-dimensional sphere surrounding it, producing a complete acoustic map of the speaker’s output. This comprehensive data enabled precise refinement of both on-axis and off-axis performance, allowing the S7 to approach the theoretical ideal of a multi-way loudspeaker—delivering sound reproduction defined by exceptional accuracy, coherence, and realism. Architecture Designed for SilenceAt the foundation of the S7 is a massive aluminum enclosure shaped through advanced 3D simulation to minimize internal resonances while maximizing rigidity. The curved front baffle reduces diffraction, while Magico’s proprietary damping techniques and laser-vibrometer analysis eliminate even minute cabinet vibrations, ensuring the enclosure contributes no audible coloration to the musical signal. The optimized structure also increases internal volume from 135 liters to 180 liters compared to the previous S Series flagship, extending bass response by an additional 5Hz while maintaining sensitivity. The result is deeper, more authoritative low-frequency performance without compromise. Five Drivers, One VoiceDriver technology lies at the core of the S7. Its Nano-Tec Gen 8 cones—aluminum honeycomb cores bonded to graphene-reinforced carbon-fiber skins—deliver exceptional stiffness, low mass, and superior damping for extremely low distortion. A newly engineered third-generation driver chassis further improves force distribution, suspension geometry, and airflow, enhancing both accuracy and reliability. The five-driver array consists of a diamond-coated pure-beryllium tweeter derived from the M Series, a 6” Nano-Tec Gen 8 midrange driver, and three vertically aligned 10” woofers designed to reduce floor-bounce effects and smooth in-room response.All drivers are unified through Magico’s Elliptical Symmetry Crossover (ESXO), a three-way design with acoustical-target Linkwitz-Riley slopes and premium components from Mundorf and Duelund, ensuring seamless coherence across the audible spectrum.Available in Softec or Gloss finish.

This is an external upgrade to the Extreme containing a significant part of the Olympus technology allowing it to come near, though not entirely at, Olympus performance levels. The Olympus I/O can also be added to the Olympus itself to further elevate its performance, although it does not provide as dramatic an uplift as adding it to the Extreme. Consider it the proverbial \"cherry on top\".XDMI in a Nutshell XDMI is a modular system, consisting of 4 main parts: 1. Software 2. A baseboard which houses the core of the system. 3. Daughterboards which provide the interface to either your DAC or your Preamplifier. 4. A transparent QFSP interconnect system allowing you to situate the baseboard and daughterboards in an external chassis. These 4 parts are all previously unavailable, new Taiko-proprietary designs. • The Olympus XDMI Server includes the first 3 parts of this system.The Olympus XDMI I/O includes all 4 parts of this system. the I/O unit is an extension of the Server to which it is connected via QSFP links. The I/O unit has support for two modules, usually a single input side (Network) and single output side (USB or XDMI card). Olympus I/O does not only move XDMI from the server to its chassis, but it also moves the network card to its chassis (meaning the network signal will be connected to Olympus I/O First and then pass through to Extreme Server or Olympus Server by QSFP), therefore, it uses 2 of the interconnect systems described in 4.This interconnect system consists of 3 parts: 1. A PCIe interface card providing a QFSP output 2. A QFSP cable 3. A receiver card with a QFSP input and a PCIe slot which allows you to connect your XDMI baseboard, or network card, or even USB card While the functionality may seem to resemble that of a PCIe extender, that does not do the design justice since the existing systems deteriorate PCIe performance while our solution improves PCIe performance, even over the PCIe slots which are mounted directly on the motherboard inside the server.In Summary: XDMI is similar to how USB audio works, the USB receiver converts USB to I2S inside the DAC, resulting in short I2S lines. XDMI replaces the USB driver, USB controller / card, USB cable and USB receiver. XDMI availability • XDMI and the digital and analog output boards are only available for Olympus and Olympus I/O. • The standard Extreme Music Server offers USB output via our Enhanced USB card. It cannot be fitted with XDMI. Battery Power Supply (BPS) Battery Power Supply (BPS)The Olympus Server contains 2 battery power supplies, 1 linear PSU, 1 charger PSU, and 1 monster charger PSU. Both battery supplies are always operational. The first battery section powers the core system.

It does this in three ways.First, the 455 accepts inputs in both fully balanced and single-ended formats. A switch on the back panel causes the circuits in eight locations to be configured to handle the input in the optimal way that would be present if that were the amplifier’s only input mode. In the balanced mode, the circuit is fully balanced from the input connectors to the loudspeaker terminals.Second, the 455 is a Musicbloc™ that may be operated as a dual-mono amplifier (channels completely separate all the way through the power supplies) of 230 watts/channel, or switched to a single mono mode producing 460 watts. This feature allows you to start with a single amplifier and add a second one later, and if you have two you can explore biamplifying compatible speakers.Third, switch settings allow the amplifier to matched optimally to a wide range of speakers from 2 to 16 ohm nominal impedance. This allows the greatest power delivery and sound quality.The mechanical architecture ensures that external vibration will not have a deleterious effect on the sound. This begins with the new VAC designed isolation feet on the power supply, and most visibly extends to the controlled decoupling between the chassis via the VAC designed three point ball and cap assemblies, which dissipate lateral energy inputs. In addition, the four massive power transformers, weighing some 56 lbs., are encased in compliant materials that absorb magnetostriction vibration.Parts quality is, as you would expect, of the highest quality. The output transformers are a VAC design, with 22 sections and multifiler windings, utilized in accordance with VAC’s VHSP (Very High Speed Parallel) processing methods. Audio capacitors are custom made, and resistors include the highest grade metal film and wirewound types. Internal wiring is high purity silver and copper.For its output stage, the Statement 455 iQ uses the legendary Gold Lion KT88 beam power tube in our unique take on ultra-linear operation. The KT88 is preferred over the recent KT120, KT150, and KT170 for having wider bandwidth, lower stray capacitance, lower residual gas current, less distortion, and equal power output in its operating configuration. In addition, you are not limited to a single tube factory, making it easier to retube the 455 over the coming decades.VAC’s patented iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System keeps each of the eight output tubes in optimal operating adjustment for more realism, lower noise, and minimum distortion. It also lets you know when one should be replaced, and protects the amplifier in the event of a failure.The input and driver tubes are the highly linear 6SN7GTB octal twin triode from TungSol, direct coupled, operating in pure Class A1 .All of this science and art combines for one result: to bring the wealth of recorded music back with the greatest possible breath of life, to preserve and present the essence of the performance, to allow the artist to connect with you, today, now, right where you are, with a vivid, lifelike sound that practically leaps from the loudspeakers.All VAC instruments are meticulously handcrafted in the United States for heirloom quality.

When we first floated the ideas behind the MP-S201, the reaction from everyone we spoke to was “mission impossible”. To the Vitus Audio design team, this was exactly the motivation they needed to get to work… mission accepted.Making a 276 lb. amplifier of this size is no small undertaking. Special tools were required before we could begin. This investment was necessary and allows us to proudly say that our products are handmade in Denmark. One of our industry partners described it as having ‘more Class A grunt than you can shake a stick at’. But while weighing in at 276 lbs, its many admirers agree that it’s an inspiring demonstration of something far more cultured than raw power. Rather, electronic ingenuity, an almost obsessive attention to detail, and a majestic evocation of the emotional truth of great music. THE SPECS DO THE TALKINGThe MP-S201 is quite simply, in our opinion, the finest stereo power amplifier available on the market today. With a tremendous 500W of power into an 8Ω load and double that into a 4Ω load, it\'s dominant presence is backed up by musical prowess and sheer power that will drive any thing you throw at it.There is also a mono mode for bi-amping purposes. There are few words to describe this amplifier so we’ll leave the final word to the early listeners who said; “it has no peer”. - [Vitus Audio MP-P201 MkIII Phono Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vitus-audio-mp-p201-mkiii-phono-preamplifier/) - Vitus Audio MP-P201 MkIII Phono PreamplifierBRING YOUR VINYL TO LIFE Vinyl is the medium of choice for many audiophiles. Vitus Audio’s founder Hans-Ole Vitus himself has an extensive turntable collection. It’s the reason many of us fell in love with music in the first place. Getting the very best from every recorded work has always been core to our endeavours at Vitus Audio and getting the best out of a record collection can be tricky. Dealing with extremely low output levels whilst keeping noise to a minimum is the key.With the MP-P201 Mk.III, we deliver the most impeccable reproduction possible thanks to our efforts to optimize at absolutely every stage of the signal path. LIFE-LIKE PERFORMANCEThe MP-P201 Mk.III uses the same discrete gain stage modules developed for the MP-L201 but for this phono stage we have optimized them for a much lower noise level. This is essential to provide a high-end musical performance with even the lowest output cartridges available on the market today.Gain selection is based on the output voltage of the cartridge in use, this is the optimal way to ensure a perfect balance between cartridge and phono stage. And changing the gain and load settings is achieved simply via remote control or the buttons on the front of the unit. Moving Magnet, Moving Coil and Mono cartridges are all supported.Finally, the external power supply reduces the noise floor massively, laying the foundations for the pure black backgrounds you will experience when the needle touches the groove. - [Vitus Audio MP-M201 MkII Mono Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vitus-audio-mp-m201-mkii-mono-amplifier/) - Vitus Audio MP-M201 MkII Mono AmplifierTHE PINNACLE OF AMPLIFIER DESIGN The toughest design task in our history.

In fact, it has more in common with the VAC Statement Series than the prior Renaissance generation. The line stage circuit is the same transformer- coupled Class A1 balanced triode design found in the Statement Line Stage. The external power supply has dual-mono rectification and filtering of the crucial high voltage supplies for superb, spacious imaging and great preservation of nuance. The remote volume control is of the direct-acting analogue type and continuously variable, so you easily can the precise level that makes the music snap into focus. The audio connectors are premium rhodium plated Cardas and Neutrik Professional. There are three high level inputs, two of which may be balanced or single-ended, just like the output.Vinyl lovers may specify the optional MM MC phono stage, which features three twin triodes operating in pure Class A1, variable MC impedance loading, and purely passive, precise RIAA equalization. The circuit topology is derived from the Signature Mk IIa SE, differing principally in the number of tubes employed, and uses the same premium MC input transformers. The results rival and exceed those delivered by many more costly separate phono stages. You should expect nothing less of a VAC. - [VAC Signature Mk IIa SE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-signature-mk-iia-se/) - VAC Signature Mk IIa SE Not long ago, the Signature Mk IIa was the finest preamplifier you could buy. In production since 2000, this enduring classic marked the introduction of the basic, fully balanced, zero-feedback, transformer-coupled Class A1 triode topology found in all contemporary VAC preamplifiers. Even from this early form, it preserves and reproduces the emotion and vitality of music and maximizes the performances of the associated source components and power amplifiers. The Signature’s line stage has no coupling capacitors to detract from the purity and detail of the hand-wired circuit. With no loop feedback, the output is stable and free from dynamic interactions with the load. Six standard line inputs (five when phono is fitted) are present, as well as a fully balanced Cinema Bypass input. The optional six-tube phono stage is sensitive and quiet, compatible with low-output, moving coil cartridges. Gain is adjustable, as is resistive loading. Electrostatic decoupling prevents the heater circuits from “talking” to each other, a common cause of lost detail. A separate power transformer is used, eliminating any disturbance of the delicate phono signal by the powerful line stage.The VAC logos are backlit in an elegant blue in normal operation, and display red when the mute is activated. These are set in the heirloom-quality sculpted 3/8” faceplate. The Signature SE (Special Edition) input transformers are the premium designs used in the Statement and Master ranges. - [VAC Master Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-master-preamplifier/) - VAC Master Preamplifier The design of the all-new VAC Master Preamplifier takes the essential developments from the cost-no-object Statement pre-amplifiers and presents them in their most elemental, effective forms. If the Statement products might be likened to Formula 1 racecars, the Master Preamplifier is the derivative ultra performance road-going sports car.As in the Statement Line Stage, the volume control is a massive custom-made, multisection, 2.2 kg brass volume control with internal brass shielding. Remote-control capability is implemented via a VAC-designed motor drive system, which allows continuous control of infinite resolution.All of the hand-wired Class A1 audio circuits are carried on machined, mass-loading plates, which are decoupled from the main chassis. This projects solidity in detail and imaging while reducing microphony to infinitesimal levels. You’ll find the “naked” z-foil resistors and premium transformers from the Statement Line Stage.When the Master Preamplifier is equipped with the internal phono option, a separate, dedicated power transformer and DC umbilical cable is added to the power supply, ensuring complete isolation between it and the line section. In essence, it is an external phono stage that just happens to share the chassis, which, in turn, allows a superior control over the ground signal reference that is crucial to conveying signal detail. You’ll also find the same premium resistors and exotic capacitors employed in the Statement Phono Stage.The VAC Master Preamplifier outperforms every other preamplifier, with the exception of the VAC Statement models that inspired it. - [VAC Statement Line Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-statement-line-preamplifier/) - VAC Statement Line Preamplifier The Statement Line Pre-Amplifier is a high current, low impedance, balanced Class A1 triode vacuum tube amplifier. While inherently balanced in design, its high precision wide band transformers accomplish conversion to single-ended operation in a sonically transparent way.Mechanical DesignThe chassis is machined at VAC from high-grade, non-ferrous aluminum with superior RF rejection properties across a wide range of radio frequencies for greater resolution and subjectively blacker backgrounds. Similar care is taken around each of the six wide band audio transformers in each unit.In addition to the five regular line inputs, three of which may be used with balanced sources, there is also a fixed volume input for use as a slave in a multichannel home theater system, or with other sources that control their own level. The “cinema” source may also be balanced or single ended.Electrical DesignThe audio chassis is designed with distinct isolated sections dedicated to certain signal functions to prevent unwanted interactions among the circuits. Interconnecting wires are carefully routed and directed by spaced machined nonmetallic guides. The hand-wired vacuum tube audio circuit assemblies are bonded to massive brass loading plates, which in turn are isolation mounted to the main chassis for a very effective filter at audio frequencies.The avoidance of negative feedback and inclusion of input and output transformers confers the relatively unique trait of eliminating unwanted stray interactions between the source components and power amplifier, such as long chain interactions between their feedback loops which tend to coarsen the sound and flatten the sound stage.Power SupplyA massive separate power supply is a dual mono design with substantial energy storage and high inherent regulation. Both resistive and inductive elements are used in concert with high-speed capacitor assemblies for the high voltage supplies, while active voltage stabilization is included in the four heater supplies and the 12-volt trigger supply.Volume ControlThe volume control is a massive one-pound multi-section potentiometer some two inches long and nearly two inches in diameter, with machined brass shielding between the sections and against the outside world. This extraordinary part is critical in obtaining the highest fidelity in the world. A custom engineered VAC motor drive system allows the volume to be adjusted by remote control. - [VAC Master 300 iQ MkII Musicbloc](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-master-300-iq-musicbloc/) - Master 300 iQ Musicbloc™ MkII Power AmplifierMono/Dual Stereo Beam Power Amplifier The new VAC Master 300 builds on lessons learned in the creation of our flagship Statement 452 amplifier.

All relevant signal, power, and ground pathways in this hardwired amplifier are as short as possible, resulting in greatly increased resolution and dynamics. Truly, this is a ‘form follows function’ design.The circuitry exploits VAC’s high speed parallel processing principle, with smaller parts that are willing to ‘jump’ electrically and magnetically with the music, where other amplifiers use large, musically ponderous components. There are a total of nine VAC design transformers in the Statement 452, in aggregate weighing 120 pounds, for perfect coupling combined with lightning fast speed.The Statement 452 circuitry is fully balanced. Provision is made for accepting single-ended inputs, converting them to balanced prior to amplification. With VAC’s Musicbloc™ design, switch settings allow the amplifier to be configured for 450 watt single-channel mono operation, or as a 225 watt/channel dual mono amplifier, all without any compromise in either mode.This means you can start a system with a single Statement 452, and add another later for more power; if you have a pair of Statement 452, you can run them as mono blocks, or in dual mono for bi-amplification. These amplifiers can grow with you and conform to changing system demands.For reliability and optimal sound, the Statement 452 is equipped with VAC’s patented iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System. No need for a meter or screwdriver, the iQ system is on the job every second, and will even let you know when to change the Gold Lion KT88 output tubes.

The MiG SRX (Mechanical Interface Ground) represents a major advance in the science of component coupling. Building on fifteen years of innovation—from the original 2008 MiG to the industry-benchmark MiG SX—the SRX is no longer just an isolation footer. It is a resonance engine designed to integrate your components into a singular, coherent field ecology.While traditional footers attempt to “isolate” (often deadening the music), MiG SRX governs the flow of energy. By combining a precision CNC-machined resonance chamber with a triad of next-generation UEF Meta-materials, MiG SRX captures mechanical chaos and converts it into a control vector for your system’s holographic realism. Inside the DesignThe Architecture of Silence Strategic CNC-Machined ResonatorsUnlike the uniform forged domes of the past, MiG SRX features a high-carbon steel resonator with varied wall thickness. Through extensive testing, we’ve mapped how energy propagates through this geometry. By strategically thinning and thickening specific regions of the resonator, we control the propagation and exit-velocity of mechanical energy.Result: an audible leap in image density, low-level detail, and temporal accuracy. The Triad Strategy: Three Unique MetamaterialsIn a world-first for mechanical footers, a set of three MiG SRX is not three identical units. We’ve moved beyond a “universal” solution to a Strategic Triad.Each footer in a set of three contains a distinct, next-generation UEF Metamaterial formulation, voiced to address a specific performance vector:Footer Alpha – Engineered for holographic realism and soundstage densityFooter Beta – Optimized for low-frequency impact, structural drive, and bass authorityFooter Gamma – Dedicated to HF air, extension, and top-end liquidityBy deploying these three formulations together, MiG SRX achieves a balance of slam and refinement that a single, do-everything material could never replicate. Field Integration: The LogiQ & FEQ ConnectionMiG SRX is the first footer voiced to operate in synergy with our FEQ Carbon and upcoming LogiQ ELF / ULF field generators. The resonance engine and UEF Meta-materials are tuned to track the same ultra-low-frequency bias used across the Synergistic Research ecosystem.This turns your component’s mechanical footprint into an intentional part of the system’s overall field architecture, rather than an unmanaged source of vibration and RF interaction.

With new state-of-the-art R&D capabilities, we set out to redesign the S3 Mk II loudspeaker to achieve audible improvements in every parameter.With new enclosure, drivers, and coupling system, the S3 accomplishes far more than the initial design brief.The technologies and construction techniques leveraged in the new S3 achieve a purity of sound and measured performance that surpassed our expectations. The new Magico S3 shatters the boundaries of performance for a speaker in its class. ENCLOSURE TECHNOLOGYThe new S3 features an appearance that is at once refined and fortified. With a newly engineered enclosure assembled from four separate extruded aluminum panels ranging in thickness from 1/2” to 2-inches, the S3’s enclosure is ambitious to say the least. Each panel, including the front baffle, is carefully machined to take on an overall edgeless-shaped perimeter. A massive machined top plate is curved and has an upward pitch to minimize enclosure diffraction and break up vertical standing waves.A thicker and more substantial baseplate incorporates a newly designed 3-point outrigger system with a new foot design that lowers the center of gravity of the speaker and increases overall stability, resulting in a lower noise floor and increased dynamics. Magico’s new in-house 3D laser interferometry system measures each S3 enclosure panel, up to 1000 points a side, and calculates the aggregate SPL resonance of the entire enclosure.This highly accurate analysis enables us to compare the enclosure resonance contribution in relation to the acoustical output of the transducers and strategically apply internal bracing and damping techniques to optimize the overall sound performance of the S3 in its finished form. The new S3 enclosure is 30% quieter than its predecessor.ACOUSTIC DESIGNThe Klippel Near-Field-Scanner (NFS) uses a single microphone that rotates around a loudspeaker enclosure that is suspended in free-air. The microphone analyzes the environment space first, and then takes fully automated 3D acoustic measurements (on and off axis) in a minimal amount of time without the need for an anechoic chamber. The 360-dgeree sphere of measurement points are then calculated with the initial room measurements deducted from the equation.The Klippel Near-Field-Scanner provides Magico with unprecedented, highly accurate data and allows us to predict the in-room reflections and response of each loudspeaker in a standard listening room environment. The new S3 greatly benefitted from this uncompromised investment in measurement technology. The result is a speaker with clear technical superiority that results in unparalleled sonic performance.DRIVER TECHNOLOGYThree years of engineering research brings a new generation of transducer chassis designs that provide improved mechanical and acoustical parameters. New chassis profiles have been developed for the S3’s midrange and bass drivers, which result in ideal stiffness and damping properties to minimize any acoustical contribution by reducing resonant modes while also maximizing air flow. No aspect of the S3’s design was left to chance. Magico’s commitment to leveraging its R&D resources for the best acoustical performance is unrivaled.TWEETER HIGHLIGHTSUsing key elements of the M9 tweeter platform, the newly designed S3 tweeter features the vaunted Magico 28mm diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm. Optimized geometry, created using state-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis modeling tools, brings the S3’s high-frequency reproduction one step closer to perfection.This was achieved by skillfully leveraging beryllium\'s physical properties, making the tweeter closer to the theoretical ideal without gaining the extra weight normally associated with a material such as diamond\'s specific gravity. This applied technology allowed Magico to increase the dome diameter from 26mm to 28mm, improving many aspects of performance and allowing even greater power handling and vanishingly low distortion.Combined with a neodymium-based motor system, new acoustically improved back chamber, and customized shape to integrate into the curved front baffle, the new S3 tweeter registers the lowest distortion measurements possible today from a high-frequency transducer. When coupled with even greater power handling, the S3’s tweeter is a technical and sonic marvel.MIDRANGE DRIVER HIGHLIGHTSThe 5-inch pure midrange driver in the S3 features an advanced cone material formed of a honeycomb aluminum core sandwiched with outer and inner layers of graphene and carbon fiber. This enables wider dispersion characteristics and results in greater midrange transparency. The advanced cone is supported by a customized basket assembly and innovative foam surround, which helps achieve ideal cone/surround integration, faster settling time, and impressively low distortion.The all-new underhung neodymium-based motor system uses two extra-large magnets to facilitate a super-stabilized magnetic field and a pure copper pole cap that minimizes eddy currents and maximizes efficiency. This development in midrange driver technology sets a new benchmark of measured performance in both the frequency and time domains.BASS DRIVER HIGHLIGHTSFinite Element Analysis (FEA) provides Magico engineers a single platform to assess acoustical, mechanical, electromagnetic, and thermal properties. This meticulous testing helps minimize distortions in the frequency and time domains. The S3’s bass driver has benefitted greatly from this advanced research. The 9” bass driver in the S3 features an enhanced version of Magico’s Graphene Nano-Tec cone.Graphene, a hexagonal lattice of carbon, achieves 50 times the tensile strength of high-carbon steel. The new cone is formed using a honeycomb aluminum core sandwiched by outer and inner layers of CF Graphene, which combine to achieve the highest possible stiffness-to-weight ratio, ideal damping properties, and extremely low distortion.The new bass unit incorporates oversized components including a 5-inch pure Titanium voice coil and huge copper cap with 1/2” of linear excursion. The super-stabilized magnetic field enables the S3 to reproduce superior low bass output (112dB @ 50Hz measured at 1 meter), while maintaining very low distortion and inductance below 0.25m.The new Magico S3: Technical superiority achieved through an un-compromised commitment to the most advanced research and development techniques in the industry.

Offering an even wider performance envelope, the S5 features numerous cutting-edge advancements in a substantially larger package, while maintaining the elegance the S Series is renowned for. Design ProcessA Polytec Laser Vibrometer was leveraged to precisely measure the most minute vibration of the cabinet panels and calculate the sound-pressure levels they generate. This enabled Magico to address them early in the design process, resulting in the desired target: the S5’s cabinet adds no coloration to the sound.The Klippel Near-Field Scanner robot enabled multiple acoustic measurements of the 3D sphere around the S5, which gave a complete view of the on- and off-axis response of the speaker. This data enabled Magico the ability to push ever closer to the theoretical ideal acoustic response of a multi-way loudspeaker. Tweeter and MidrangeTweeter Highlights: The S5’s tweeter is based on the model used in the M Series. The S5’s 28mm tweeter uses a diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm. A neodymium-based motor system yields the lowest distortion possible today along with even greater power handling than previous S Series speakers. The S5’s high frequencies are chock-full of textural detail and the sonic subtleties Magico is renowned for.Midrange Highlights: The S5’s midrange is 6” in diameter with a 3” voice coil. A key change from previous Magico S Series speakers is the Nano-Tec Gen 8 cone structure: an aluminum-honeycomb core sandwiched by graphene-reinforced carbon-fiber skins. The cone’s revolutionary core structure allows lower thickness, lighter weight, and more effective damping.This driver features two extra-large neodymium magnets, a full copper cap, and a pure titanium voice coil. The S5’s midrange sets a new benchmark for measured performance in both the frequency and time domains. The result is midrange clarity that will leave you speechless.Woofer Highlights: Bass in the S5 is provided by a pair of 10” woofers. Each driver sports a 5” titanium voice coil and a Nano-Tec Gen 8 cone built into a third-generation chassis. This woofer has a huge copper cap and is capable of one half inch of linear movement with the lowest distortion available in a driver of its size.This enables the S5 to provide accurate, undistorted low frequencies while producing high maximum sound-pressure levels. The S5 produces low frequencies with awe-inspiring power and depth, while maintaining fidelity to the source not heard outside of a Magico loudspeaker. Sculpted EnclosureThe newly designed curved-and-shaped aluminum cabinet—optimized using simulated 3D modeling to minimize internal resonances—maximizes stiffness while enabling optimal damping strategies. The front baffle is curved for minimal diffraction effects. A Polytec Laser Vibrometer was leveraged to precisely measure the most minute vibration of the cabinet panels and calculate the sound-pressure levels they generate.This enabled Magico to address them early in the design process, resulting in the desired target: the S5’s cabinet adds no coloration to the sound. Notably, the S5’s internal volume was increased by 31% versus the previous version. The larger bass cabinet enables the S5’s low-frequency response to plumb 5Hz lower—to 20Hz—while keeping the same sensitivity (88dB).The S5 is available in a generous selection of premium finishes: six Softec choices that are rich in color depth, smooth to the touch, and very durable - ($74,500); and six High Gloss finishes that are expertly polished to a lustrous shine with a clear top coat - ($83,000). The three-footer support system uses constrained-layer damping and premium materials for greatly enhanced sonic performance. - [MSB Technology Sentinel DAC](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/msb-technology-sentinel-dac/) - MSB Technology Sentinel DACHeralding a seismic shift for our industry, the MSB Technology Sentinel DAC breaks from the traditional to bring you an altogether-new listening experience.

A phono cartridge generates only millivolts of energy, and every detail, every overtone, every spatial cue depends on the cable’s ability to preserve that information without tension, noise, or compression.To meet this demand, Galileo Lux phono employs both elements of the Lux geometry: pure 6N silver AirStrings for speed and delicacy, and a pure silver ribbon laminate for tonal weight, harmonic richness, and field stability.The AirStrings, suspended in a true air dielectric, carry the low-level signal with exceptional precision, minimizing dielectric absorption and preserving the microdynamics that define analog’s emotional immediacy. The ribbon laminate broadens and settles the electromagnetic field, giving the phono stage a stable environment in which texture, timbre, and image structure can develop naturally.Together, these architectures were selected to bring the signal through in its purest form—balancing resolution with musicality in a way that feels effortless and refined.Each termination—RCA, XLR, and DIN—is built with geometry specific to its interface, maintaining correct electrical behavior while preserving the Lux signature of calm authority.Around the conductor system, a tailored UEF compound shapes the field conditions that influence noise floor behavior, spatial coherence, and the sense of ease that defines analog reproduction at its best.The result is a phono cable that does not interpret the music—it simply reveals it. Soft, low-level details emerge with clarity, tonal colors unfold with grace, and the sound field expands without strain or exaggeration.Galileo Lux phono captures the intimate truth of vinyl playback with an elegance fully aligned with the intent behind the loom: resolution expressed gently, musicality expressed fully, and the experience delivered with quiet confidence. - [Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Digital Interconnect](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-galileo-lux-digital-interconnect/) - Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Digital InterconnectGalileo Lux digital cables—AES/EBU and RCA—were designed to deliver the clarity, refinement, and musical ease that define the Lux experience, while respecting the precise electrical requirements of digital audio transfer. Each format demands its own strict impedance and timing behavior, so the geometry for each cable is built specifically around its protocol to ensure stable impedance, low jitter, and clean, accurate signal transitions.At the core of each design are pure 6N silver AirStrings—multi-gauge conductors suspended in a true air dielectric to minimize dielectric absorption and energy storage. This architecture gives the cable the speed, precision, and low noise floor that digital playback requires, while preserving the fine textural and spatial information that emerges only after the data is converted back into music.Encircling this conductor system, a protocol-specific UEF compound interacts with the cable’s electromagnetic field, refining boundary conditions that influence timing stability, noise behavior, and overall coherence. By calming micro-distortions and reducing RF turbulence around the conductors, the cable allows detail, harmonic structure, and ambient cues to be expressed with greater ease and naturalness.The result is a digital interconnect that reflects the central intention of Galileo Lux— resolution without sharpness, musicality without obscurity, and an expansive sound field that feels open, stable, and effortlessly coherent.It honors the precision digital audio demands while preserving the graceful balance that defines the Lux experience. - [Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Ethernet Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-galileo-lux-ethernet-cable/) - Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Ethernet CableGalileo Lux Ethernet was designed to bring the clarity and composure of the Lux experience into the realm of networked digital audio. Ethernet transmission carries its own strict electrical and impedance requirements, so the ribbon laminate used throughout the analog loom is not part of this design.Instead, the geometry follows the protocol with precision, ensuring stable impedance, low noise, and consistent packet integrity—elements essential for delivering clean digital information before conversion into music.Pure 6N silver conductors form the heart of this architecture, selected for their exceptional conductivity and minimal dielectric absorption. Around them, a carefully developed UEF compound interacts with the electromagnetic field to refine boundary conditions that influence jitter, timing stability, and the subtle cues that shape spatial realism.By calming the noise floor and reducing micro-distortions in the field, this tuning allows digital information to arrive with greater coherence before it is rendered into sound.The result is an Ethernet cable that carries the unmistakable character of Galileo Lux: resolution expressed with ease, musicality revealed without strain, and an expansive sound field that feels open, stable, and naturally engaging.It honors the precision digital audio demands while preserving the graceful balance that defines the Lux experience. - [Synergistic Research Galileo LUX USB](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-galileo-lux-usb/) - Synergistic Research Galileo LUX USBGalileo Lux USB was developed with the same design intention that guides the entire Lux series: a presentation where resolution and musicality exist in natural harmony. But USB digital transfer carries its own strict requirements for impedance, timing, and signal integrity. For this reason, the ribbon laminate architecture used throughout the analog loom is not employed here. Instead, we designed a geometry true to the USB protocol—engineered from the ground up to support stable impedance, low jitter, and clean digital transitions.Within this structure, the conductors are crafted from pure 6N silver selected for its superior conductivity and minimal energy storage, giving the cable the speed and clarity digital playback demands. Surrounding this geometry, a carefully developed UEF compound interacts with the digital field, shaping the boundary conditions through which the signal propagates. This tuning refines how micro detail, spatial cues, and harmonic information are expressed once the data stream is converted back into music.The result is a USB cable that carries the unmistakable character of Galileo Lux: effortless resolution, natural musical flow, and an expansive sound field that feels calm, open, and beautifully coherent. It honors the precision digital audio requires—while revealing the emotional truth that only Lux can deliver. - [Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Speaker Cables](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-galileo-lux-speaker-cables/) - Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Speaker CablesGalileo Lux speaker cables were created to bring scale and coherence into natural alignment, allowing the system to express its full presence without assertiveness or strain. They draw on the same dual-geometry foundation that defines the loom: a pure silver ribbon laminate chosen for its harmonic richness and tonal weight, and multi-gauge 6N silver AirStrings suspended in a true air dielectric to preserve speed, delicacy, and fine transient detail.Together, these elements were selected to rest at the ideal balance point between resolution and musicality.In the speaker interface, these geometries work across a broader field boundary, influencing how energy launches into the loudspeaker and how spatial information unfolds in the room. The ribbon element shapes the field with calm authority, helping images settle, bass articulate with clarity, and midrange textures bloom with natural dimensionality.The AirStrings complement this behavior by providing openness, resolution, and a sense of effortless extension.Galileo Lux speaker cables are voiced to reveal rather than impose. They do not shift tonal balance or call attention to themselves; instead, they allow the amplifier and loudspeaker to interact with greater ease, reducing subtle field turbulence so that dynamics feel unforced and spatial cues emerge naturally.The result is a presentation that feels expansive yet controlled—vivid, coherent, and fully aligned with the graceful musicality at the heart of Galileo Lux. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneGalileo Lux Matrix ShieldingIn our journey to voice Galileo Lux, we developed a new UEF compound to bring our Matrix Shielding into alignment with the loom’s core intent: to balance resolution with musicality while lowering the noise floor and easing the subtle constraints that shielding can place on signal flow. This next-generation formulation, derived from the SRX XL series, is applied to Galileo Lux in its intended expression, ensuring that the shielding contributes not only to quiet backgrounds, but also to the effortless, unrestrained presentation that defines the Lux experience. Enhanced Cable Geometries6N Pure Silver Airstrings and Silver Ribbon ConductorsWhile voicing Galileo Lux, we applied the same disciplined approach used in our reference designs—employing pure silver in both the ribbon laminate and multi-gauge AirString conductors for its superior conductivity, low energy storage, and natural harmonic integrity. This combination delivers speed, texture, and tonal refinement with a stability that reflects the intent behind the loom. Quantum TunnelingHigh Voltage ConditioningOur High Voltage Conditioning is designed to refine the field environment a cable operates within. Rather than altering the conductor itself, the process stabilizes the dielectric and conductor interface by releasing trapped charge and settling microscopic domains. This reduces noise, lowers hysteresis, and creates a cleaner, more coherent boundary for the electromagnetic field to propagate.For Galileo Lux, we used the most advanced form of this process, aligned specifically to achieve the sonic balance the loom was created to express. In practice, this meant reworking the conditioning curve to deliver the precise combination of resolution, ease, and musical flow that defines the Lux experience. - [Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Interconnects](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-galileo-lux-interconnects/) - Synergistic Research Galileo LUX Interconnects Galileo Lux interconnects were created with a simple intention: to preserve the natural flow of music as it moves from source to preamplifier, and from preamplifier to power amplifier. Each stage of the signal has different demands, and Galileo Lux honors this reality with an asymmetric voicing strategy shaped by UEF tuning. Rather than imposing a single signature across the entire chain, each interconnect is refined for the role it plays.The Source-to-Pre interconnect is voiced to reveal the low-level nuance that defines the character of a recording—texture, tonal shading, spatial cues, and the delicate harmonic information that emerges only when noise is kept exceptionally low. Its UEF balance brings clarity without edge, ensuring that fine detail arrives with ease and without shifting the emotional center of the music.The Pre-to-Power interconnect is voiced differently. Here, the signal carries greater dynamic weight, broader swings in voltage, and the responsibility of preserving scale, impact, and coherence. Its UEF tuning provides a touch more foundation, grip, and dynamic stability, allowing the system to open fully without losing the liquidity and calm that define Galileo Lux.Together, the two voicings complement each other, forming a continuous path that feels unified and natural. The transition from one stage to the next becomes invisible, as if the system were breathing in a single, effortless motion. Galileo Lux interconnects do not call attention to themselves; they simply reveal the music with a balance and grace that mirrors the intention behind the loom. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneGalileo Lux Matrix ShieldingIn our journey to voice Galileo Lux, we developed a new UEF compound to bring our Matrix Shielding into alignment with the loom’s core intent: to balance resolution with musicality while lowering the noise floor and easing the subtle constraints that shielding can place on signal flow.

This architecture establishes the composure and liquidity that define the Lux experience, even before the first note is played.Where the interconnects and speaker cables achieve their balance through asymmetric internal voicing, the Galileo Lux power cables offer the listener a more personal level of refinement. Each cord is designed to be user-voiced, allowing warmth, liquidity, air, and inner detail to settle into the proportion that best suits the system and the listener’s taste. This is not tuning for effect—it is tuning for alignment, shaping the electromagnetic field at the point where the component meets the AC supply.Because the power cable sets the field conditions for the entire signal chain, its voicing becomes the foundation upon which the rest of the system organizes itself. Interconnects—analog or digital—and speaker cables naturally follow the harmonic and spatial balance created at the power interface.Voice the power cord, and you have voiced all the cables associated with that component. The system locks into coherence, the presentation stabilizes, and the music takes on the effortless flow and graceful clarity that define Galileo Lux. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneGalileo Lux Matrix ShieldingIn our journey to voice Galileo Lux, we developed a new UEF compound to bring our Matrix Shielding into alignment with the loom’s core intent: to balance resolution with musicality while lowering the noise floor and easing the subtle constraints that shielding can place on signal flow. This next-generation formulation, derived from the SRX XL series, is applied to Galileo Lux in its intended expression, ensuring that the shielding contributes not only to quiet backgrounds, but also to the effortless, unrestrained presentation that defines the Lux experience.The Galileo Lux tuning modules shape performance by influencing the electromagnetic field surrounding the cable—not the signal path itself. In a field-propagation framework, the signal is carried in the space around the conductor, guided by the boundaries formed by the conductor, dielectric, and shield.Small changes in this surrounding field can shift how energy launches, settles, and decays within the cable, subtly altering the balance of warmth, liquidity, air, and detail. Enhanced Cable Geometries6N Pure Silver Airstrings, DC Biased Silver Ribbon LaminateWhile voicing Galileo Lux, we applied the same disciplined approach used in our flagship SRX XL power cords—employing pure silver in both the ribbon laminate and the multi-gauge AirString conductors for their superior conductivity, low energy storage, and natural harmonic integrity.Within this architecture, the ribbon laminate incorporates a dedicated DC layer in which two pure silver ribbons—one positive and one neutral—work together to stabilize the AC’s electromagnetic field while directing high-frequency noise to ground where it belongs, preventing it from riding on the AC and interacting with the signal.This structure forms a flexible EM Cell based on our patented technology, creating a more coherent field environment for the signal to propagate. The result is a cable that delivers speed, texture, and tonal refinement with the quiet, assured stability that defines the Galileo Lux experience.Each tuning module introduces a different UEF-defined field condition, adjusting dielectric polarization and the boundary-layer behavior that governs EM propagation. These changes affect how the field interacts with adjacent surfaces and components, reducing microscopic turbulence and altering how harmonics develop within the system. The result is a refined way to set the tonal and spatial equilibrium without ever touching the signal itself.One module creates a field that is slightly more open and extended, encouraging greater resolution and spaciousness; the other settles the environment into a warmer, more liquid state with enhanced harmonic density.Neither option imposes itself—they simply guide the boundaries through which the signal travels, allowing the system to express the version of Galileo Lux that feels most natural in your room, with your components, and with your listening preferences.This is field tuning executed with precision: a calm, intentional way to bring the entire system into balance through the quiet influence of the EM environment—fully aligned with the design philosophy of Galileo Lux.

It’s the SRX PowerCell rebuilt for the real world—a concentrated embodiment of everything we learned designing the $70,000 SRX PowerCell, engineered into a unified-field platform that delivers full-scale SRX performance at one-eighth the cost.When compared using identical power cords, it performs remarkably close to the PowerCell 14, despite the PowerCell 14’s advantage in electromagnetic cell count and dedicated three-bank isolation architecture. This is the highest concentration of SRX-grade electromagnetic conditioning per dollar in our 34-year history.The PowerCell 12 SX doesn’t make your system sound “better”. It reveals what your system truly is—freed from the invisible resistance buried in your walls. It’s not passive filtration. It’s active field conditioning—a live electromagnetic architecture that reshapes the environment your components operate in.What you’ll hear is immediate: noise collapses, stage expands. Voices gain weight, texture, and air. Dynamics rise without strain; tone blooms without blur. The illusion of live performance locks in because phase integrity stays intact and every spatial cue is preserved.This isn’t subtle. You don’t warm up to it. You hear it instantly. Built on the SRX Core ArchitectureFrom the SRX PowerCell, the 12 SX inherits three core technologies that define the state of the art:SRX Electromagnetic Cell Architecture: Three full-size SRX XL Cells (hot, neutral, ground) identical in geometry, materials, and UEF compounds to the flagship, forming the heart of its unified-field design. These cells are hand-built, air-dielectric, and precision-encased in carbon fiber—the same massive cells deployed in our $70,000 SRX PowerCell.Active ULF Biasing Circuitry: The same ultra-low-frequency generator used in the SRX and our flagship Active Ground Blocks, synchronizing AC, ground, and electromagnetic domains across your system. ULF, in its most basic principle, is how we ‘reclock’ your music to the Schumann Resonance by passively addressing and filtering out ambient RF and extreme high-frequency noise that would otherwise degrade sound.Parallel Ground Topology: Adapted from the SRX’s triple-bank network to maintain vanishing impedance and instantaneous current delivery within a compact chassis.This unified field approach ensures every component in your system operates within the same stabilized electromagnetic environment—eliminating the field discontinuities that typically exist between different power sources. What most people don’t understand is that the field is the signal path.Here’s how it works: AC becomes the carrier field, establishing the foundation. DC bias locks the electromagnetic structure in place, creating stability. ULF pulses synchronize phase timing across the entire system. And the electromagnetic cells don’t just condition the line—they stabilize the space itself.The result: lower noise, greater dynamic contrast, and a level of coherence no passive design can touch. No Compromise Current DeliveryA fundamental design principle that separates Synergistic Research PowerCells from conventional power conditioners is that PowerCells are 100% non-current-limiting. Most competing conditioners achieve quieter backgrounds by restricting current flow, often warning users against plugging in amplifiers due to the dynamic compression this causes.It’s like upgrading your car’s chassis and suspension but leaving the stock engine untouched. You’ll never experience true performance unless your amplifiers are conditioned.Synergistic Research PowerCells take the opposite approach: delivering a black background and unrestricted current delivery simultaneously. Your amplifiers benefit most from this design because they demand dynamic power across the full bandwidth.When that power arrives without restriction but fully conditioned, you hear explosive dynamics, effortless transients, and complete tonal authority, not the compressed, constrained sound that comes from current-limiting designs.To put this in perspective: the PowerCell 8 SX proved what was possible—affordable, non-current-limiting reference-level conditioning. The SRX redefined the category. The 12 SX closes the gap. Above it sit the PowerCell 14, SRX PowerCell 14, and SRX PowerCell, each delivering even higher performance.But all five share the same core principle: 100% non-current-limiting design that lets your amplifiers breathe while operating in the cleanest possible electromagnetic environment. This is why you plug everything into a PowerCell, especially your amplifiers. Grounding, Elevated.The PowerCell 12 SX incorporates multi-layer UEF Ground Plane technology—a core element of the SRX lineage developed through our flagship programs. This sophisticated grounding topology works in concert with the dedicated SRX XL ground cell to create one of the blackest backgrounds we’ve achieved in any power conditioner.The multi-layer approach addresses grounding at multiple levels within the unit, dramatically lowering the noise floor and revealing low-level details that typically remain masked. For even higher performance, the PowerCell 12 SX can be connected to one of our Active Ground Blocks through a dedicated ground connection.This optional upgrade further lowers the noise floor and improves low-frequency weight and definition—all without sacrificing any of your 12 outlets. Form Elevates FunctionThe PowerCell 12 SX chassis is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and carbon fiber, creating a mechanically and electromagnetically voiced platform that strategically dampens mechanical resonance while optimizing the efficiency and directivity of the electromagnetic fields generated by the three SRX XL cells—all in a compact form that fits easily into real-world systems. 9 Lighting OptionsYou can customize the color and intensity of the front meter and top circuit view window lighting. Select between Galileo White, Synergistic Research Blue, Dante Red, and McIntosh Blue to match your system’s aesthetic. Or disable the lighting entirely if you prefer. Complete Power FoundationEvery PowerCell 12 SX includes a Foundation XL 10awg power cord—specifically designed to complement the PowerCell’s internal architecture. This premium power cord ensures optimal power delivery from wall to conditioner, delivering real-world reference performance right out of the box. - [C49 2-CH Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/c49-2-ch-preamplifier/) - C49 Preamplifier Be prepared for future digital music technologies with the C49 Preamplifier.

In theatre, nothing impresses like raw output, even if you don’t use all of it. HT/1003 MKII’s increase in usable headroom confers an ease to the sound that lesser designs can’t compete with. Here, we realize a full 10 dB higher output (that’s twice as loud) over its forbear.As with its larger brothers, HT/1003 MKII receives the full suite of MKII upgrades. First, a higher secondary filter allows energy to extend further up the sonic spectrum means explosions are more savage than ever. Next, an all-analogue PerfectFilter™ lifts and extends the deepest bass. Additionally, an analogue subsonic filter filters out the signals that can lead to damage below 20Hz.All this is packaged in the same sexy, serious look that blends perfectly with our Serie T/x and S for use in HT-3D systems. Also, improvements to driver, amplifier, and filters means this latest version is now a seriously musical sub. Designer ClothingThe sexy new cabinetry is bespoke, with new textures, proportions, and finishing touches previously unseen in the category. Lower, sleeker cabinetry borrows proportions drawn from our new Reference models. Through experimentation over the years, we have found that this results in a faster, deeper presentation of bass—all while looking smashing.The eye is immediately drawn to the top panel, which is finished in 5 coats of hand-polished piano black lacquer. A discreet REL logo floats within the top layer of lacquer, whilst the body of the cabinet is clad in horizontally streaked, line-grained composite. The entire affair looks expensive, bespoke, and tastefully restrained. Also, it can be combined with either Serie T/x or Serie S in large, fully-immersive REL HT/3D™ setups.* Drive Like You Mean ItHT/1003 MKII’s driver remains a 10” (250mm) CarbonGlas™ construct to keep its overall size reasonable in its role as the powerhouse for slightly more modest spaces. Every component was beefed up—improved in ways both large and small to deliver the greatest performance possible.Lightweight, stiff, and quiet, the combination of glass fibre primary cones with true carbon fibre centre caps results in a cost-effective yet pistonic cone. Larger, more powerful magnets produce greater energy. Upgraded suspension designs with enlarged surround to permit greater travel means output remains under control all the way to the limits of amplifier and driver.The result is prodigious output for this price point while remaining fast and liquid, as do all RELs. Amplified ExcellenceAmplifiers do the dirty work and the heavy lifting in a theatre subwoofer. We turned to a true Tier One amp supplier to build our latest design for us; they didn’t disappoint. They created thicker boards, and upgraded power supplies—all the stuff that, while not sexy, results in a brutally powerful 300W amp (did you know all RELs are specified as RMS Continuous, just like a big, expensive 300 W monoblock amp?) with remarkable longevity.It generates truly awe-inspiring sound. While its theatre applications get all the headlines, its big secret is that it sounds sublime in musical applications. Big and robust-sounding, the HT/1003 MKII is sure to become an instant classic.PerfectFilters™: Where Perfection StartsREL input filters are renowned throughout the audio world. They bring together ultra-fast analogue crossovers, customer-designed elevation filters that extend the flatness of deep bass, and integrated limiters that allow all the power to explode outward. This compact series of analogue circuits is REL’s secret recipe in both music and film sound.Refined in this second generation, the secondary filters used now allow extension to a much higher frequency, allowing the rarefaction of air in the sound of an explosion to feel that much more realistic. Additionally, our latest circuit includes an all-analogue subsonic filter that begins as low as 12 Hz to minimize the effects of infra-noise from soundtracks that extends well below the resonance point of the driver.The result is incredible delivered power with the ability to play to the driver’s limit without distortion. Wired For Sound: HT-AirBeing wired for sound used to require long runs of cable strewn across the floor. With our optional HT-Air™, great sound can be “un-wired”—replaced by a tiny transmitter and matching receiver that sends an incredibly fast 5.8Ghz wireless signal up to 60 feet without digital compression.This affordable circuit includes the same LSIC chip that powers our state-of-the-art AirShip II, without the expensive discrete analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analog (DAC) convertors. It is perfect for the .1/LFE signals using RCA connectors that are HT/1205 MKII’s primary mission. - [REL Acoustics HT/1205 MkII](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rel-acoustics-ht1205-mkii/) - REL Acoustics HT/1205Rethink What\'s Possible Serie HT is designed specifically to answer the challenge of creating affordably priced, exceptionally dynamic, pure home theater powered subwoofers. The HT/1205 MKII is the ideal combination of a lightweight, modern 12” CarbonGlas™ (300mm) driver coupled to a powerful 500W Class D amplifier that runs cool, producing extraordinary dynamics. Internally, we developed specially adapted home theater input filters that produce extremely flat bass down in the 20’s.We set out to build the loudest, relatively compact 12” unit available for pure home theater use, and at truly attractive pricing. You’ll be the judge of how well we accomplished that goal, but critics are already lining up for reviews.We believe the HT/1205 MKII is destined to become a modern classic with svelte cabinet dimensions finished in an attractive, yet purposeful line grained black aluminum-look and topped by a 12mm thick beautifully polished top that serves to damp vibrations on the critical top surface of the cabinet.For REL owners already enjoying our Reference, Serie S and T/i subwoofers designed for both 2-channel and theater use, the HT/1205 MKII is designed to supplement their system’s .1/LFE output to produce extremely high output for chest rumbling home theater special effects.

Whilst some can afford our flagship No.32 model, it is larger and deeper than some rooms can accommodate. How can you best deliver No.32’s sound quality, build quality, and thoughtful features with a more compact footprint? Enter No.31. Perfection Repeated No.31 matches No.32’s design stroke for stroke, yet somehow it manages to look more svelte, crouching closer to the floor—almost feline in its grace. The elegant plated handles inset into an ellipse is retained, as is the string grille that permits vast amounts of air to explode into your room without creating noise like cloth grilles can.No.31 features the curvilinear radius to the sidewalls that define both its performance and its character. But the reduction in visual and actual three-dimensional physical mass is remarkable. No.31: when the best must be delivered in a smaller space. Total ControlTake control of your No.31 by grasping the REL Reference Remote Control. Immediately, you will be struck by the perfect fit in your palm, the result of careful thought and numerous generations of trial-and-error fittings during prototype development. The second reaction to it is the awareness of its mass, which conveys its quality, permanence, and immutability.It tells you, “I am a thing of substance, of quality. Pay attention, what you do next matters.” If you have owned a REL in the past (and fully 90% of Rel Reference owners are), all the familiar controls are right at hand, exactly where you’d want them. High (or low if using active speakers) level gain sits comfortably to the right side, the crossover rests in the middle, and .1/LFE gain is off to the left.Below are three lovely metal toggle switches handle the critical setup functions. The remote’s on/off switch is at the bottom. It is both as out of the way as possible and remains on once turned on and in use during setup without being accidentally turned off. In the middle sits the phase control.This is used only initially to determine the correct 0 or 180 degrees of phase. Additionally, the top access to the Dual Parametric EQ-marked with A and B—permits the flattest, deepest bass and, at the other end of the bass frequencies, the fine-tuning of crossover behavior. This gives you the perfect blending of subwoofer to main speakers and any vestiges of room-generated boom and resonance can be gently trimmed away.REL’s Reference Remote reminds you of the perfect butler—always immaculate, indispensable when called upon, then quietly set aside until a future time when perhaps additions or further improvements to one’s system further require its services. Arrayed for Battle No.31 permits the same vertically stacked line array as the ultimate No.32. It delivers transformative performance that no competitor has been able to. For those who have been seeking the ultimate musical and theatre experience, Line Arrays unlock the final dimension of system reproduction. Audiophiles have chased three-dimensional sound for years, yet they have missed the simple fact that the height—not the depth—of image is the missing link.By creating products that are designed to be stacked 3 (or in exceptionally tall rooms, 5) units high while retaining individual crossover and gain control of each subwoofer in the array, REL has created a masterpiece that finally delivers what the most experienced audiophiles have been chasing for the past 40 years. Amplified Perfection No.32’s NextGen 7 Class D 1,000 watt amplifier also lives inside No.31, only limited to 900 watts to ensure the perfect complement to the 12” bass engine within No.31. This allows the maximum dynamics to be delivered while ensuring a long, cheerful life for both components.Here too, the LimitLess Limiter,™ which permits the amplifier to tiptoe right up to its limit without audible compression is part of the magic, conveys a rhythmically effortless quality. Also, its dual parametric filters allow precise micro-tuning; the deepest bass is slightly reinforced, while the upper ranges of bass can be gently trimmed to ensure a brilliantly rendered transition from bass to the main speaker.The electronic design of the reference range is itself artistry. Drive This The incredible excursion of the 12” pure carbon fibre driver allows it to play as loud as its larger stablemate. Yet, the No.31 possesses the tactility, nimbleness, and attack that only the greatest subwoofers have ever been able to deliver. Also, its sonic signature works in modestly-scaled rooms and with a vast range of fine speakers.The driver is accelerated by a specially wound 3” voice coil driven by a 13-pound magnetic structure; even near its limits, the voice coil remains solidly inside the gap. It is this visceral power, coupled with great delicacy and nuance, that is No.31’s signature. - [Taiko Audio SGM Extreme Music Server](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/taiko-audio-extreme-server/) - Taiko Audio SGM Extreme ServerPUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF AUDIO STREAMING The SGM Extreme Server combines many technological breakthroughs completely unseen before in the world of digital High-End Audio. Only the best components from the most respected vendors are sourced for it - many of which are custom designed from the ground up.During the lengthy design process no stone has been left unturned, giving equal attention to resonance control, prevention of electric pollution, reliability, and user-friendliness. Due to its flexible and modular architecture, you can expect a very long life expectancy with both hard and software updates, giving you the confidence of a future-proof investment in the best digital source for years to come.DUAL CPU DESIGNIn the past you would typically have to make a tradeoff when planning your digital source: Sound quality or user experience / ease of use. For us, there is no better software to browse your own music as well as finding new music through the countless streaming services than Roon. Since the start of the SGM project in 2015, Roon has therefore been at the center of what we are doing.The choice to design a dual CPU system was in large part fueled by finding a way around the impact Roon\'s luxury interface has on sound quality. It enables Roon processing to become virtually inaudible - a world’s first in our experience.With our groundbreaking custom allocation of processes, you can now have both: The best sound quality as well as the best user interface. What’s more, due to the low amount of heat that is generated due to this design, you can expect a much longer component life than a single CPU design. PCIe STORAGEIn our research we found SSD storage to be a big bottleneck for the overall performance of a digital source. An SSD always connects to your system via the motherboard DMI chipset. For the Extreme we are using PCIe modules, which connect directly to the CPU and bypasses the DMI. Therefore we achieve speeds up to 4x faster than SSD which results in lower latency and much lower system noise overall, giving you black backgrounds, huge space rendition and brings an ease to the musicians performance, only matched by the very best vinyl and tape playback systems.We rely on the new VMD technology that Intel introduced with their new Xeon Scalable line of processors. VMD allows us on hardware level instead of software level to have greater bandwith on the PCIe interface, reducing the active processes once more.You can select anything from 2TB to up to 64TB internal storage, eliminating the need for playback from external drives such as a NAS. Worried about backups? We found that RAID is not beneficial to the sound quality, therefore we strongly recommend to our customers to use an external backup drive which can be accessed remotely via the Extreme. Should you still wish to use RAID, the Extreme will handle this as well. SELECTED HIGH SPEED RAMEver heard of DRAM refresh? You should, because it is one of the main reasons why many think fewer and lower speed DIMMs are better for sound quality. In our research we discovered the true source of why RAM has such a big impact on sonics and were able to deal with it our way:Our custom RAM modules have factory pre-selected A-grade memory modules, all dimm components (memory chips, capacitors, resistors etc) are matched to within a 1% tolerance and selected for low current draw. The result is the refresh rate burst current is reduced by almost 50% and operating temperatures are much lower allowing lower refresh rates. Combined with power supply filtering this allows us to use 12 memory dimms with a very high combined bandwidth at very low refresh noise levels. LOW QUEUE DEPTH AND LATENCYThe Extreme is built for bit perfect output without upsampling the data stream to cater to the latest premium R2R and Sigma/Delta D to A converters. With bit perfect streaming, system latency (active processing time) becomes a significant part of the resulting sound quality. In designing the Extreme, we focused on providing the lowest latency possible for every instruction or set of instructions the server has to manage.Why? To maintain as short a queue depth as possible in all system components, which lead to a constant current draw, low EMI/RFI emissions and power-line pollution. This is the reason the Extreme’s computational power seems to be overkill, but in fact is paramount to the resulting quality of the audio stream.This also ensures that the Extreme will not be harmful to any other associated equipment you have in your music playback chain.The operating system has been custom stripped to the very core of what is absolutely needed to run music services. We believe our solution to be better and more reliable than any aftermarket software and even better than running the whole operation system in RAM. MULTI-STAGE ULTRA LINEAR POWER SUPPLYOur 400W linear power supply is a new in-house development especially created for the Extreme and its special needs. It is comprised of only the very best capacitors from Mundorf and Duelund, combined in a way we found to be most neutral to the sound. The chokes are supplied from Lundahl and were selected also by ear.Extensive vibrational measures have been applied to make it as resilient as possible. Again Panzerholz was used in strategic places to shift the vibration patterns in benign territory. The whole design is built for low temperature, long life, and above all, best sound quality. THE COOLING SYSTEMDuring the design phase we quickly came to the conclusion that none of the available cooling systems would meet our demands. Therefore we designed our very own custom 240W passive cooling system – no active parts, no fans, no noise. Many aspects needed to be considered, none more important than component longevity.We found that most aftermarket passive cooling systems degrade in efficiency over time, that is why we machined the CPU interface with a precision of 5 microns tolerance (0,005mm!). We also use solid copper for the heat sinks, for twice the efficiency as regularly used aluminum. We estimate that our custom solution will lead to a prolonged component life between 4 and 12 years extra, depending on the use and environment conditions. THE CHASSIS DESIGNAs physically imposing as the chassis of the Extreme may seem, everything is there for a reason. The finely machined aircraft-grade aluminum available in silver or black acts as a shield from external noise, but also keeps your other components free from pollution. The heavy top for example hosts a total of 6,000 machined holes. These holes are “waveguides” which attenuate emissions by 81 dB which is around 10,000 times!Inside you will find multiple measures to tackle the vibrational behavior of the component. Copper and Panzerholz have proven to be the best materials for this task, bringing low mechanical impedance and a benign vibrational spectrum to the table.The footers too are custom designed to give optimal coupling to the surface below. The Extreme is a sight to behold and built to last. - [Aurender A15 Music Streamer & Server / High-End DAC - Scott Walker Audio](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/storeaurender-a15-music-streamer/) - Aurender A15 Music Server & Analog Music Streamer – High-End All-in-One Source Overview of the Aurender A15The Aurender A15 is a state-of-the-art music streamer, DAC, and server designed for audiophiles who want uncompromised sound and modern streaming convenience in one elegant chassis.

After intensive development work, we can now present an extremely attractive and flexible performer that has exceeded our own expectations and is absolutely unrivaled in its price range! Acoustic Signature Technologies and InnovationsAcoustic Signa­ture turn­tables have always been distin­gui­shed by their use of pio­nee­ring techno­logies. Our deve­lop­ments include the ‘Silencer’ and our CLD (Constraint Layer Damping) techno­logies which reduce platter and cabinet reso­nances to ground­breaking mini­mal levels. Our AVC (Auto­matic Vibra­tion Control) tech­nology lowers the vibra­tions inevi­tably caused by motor rota­tion to a barely measu­rable level. Our Tidorfolon® bearing distan­ced commer­cially avai­lable bearing cons­truc­tions with a level of noise and friction that approa­ched zero and with its main­te­nance-free design. But innovation knows no standstill: For the NEO series all our highly acclaimed achievements were examined by the Acoustic Signature team with regard to their potential for improvement. In this process we have left no stone unturned and pushed the limits of what is technically feasible. This resulted in even more effective Silencer, CLD and AVC technologies and a brand new bearing design with diamond-coated spindle – the Dura Turn Diamond® Bearing (DTD®), which leaves the famous Tidorfolon® bearing behind in terms of precision and robustness. The Acoustic Signature AVC technology(Automa­tic Vibration Control)Every rota­ting motor gene­rates vibra­tions which are trans­mit­ted to the chas­sis and platter. To mini­mize these effec­tively the vibra­tions must be ‘balan­ced’. Our AVC techno­logy is able to measure the resulting distor­tions in real time and auto­mati­cally adjusts the phase shifts to the motor signals. This digitally moni­tored correc­tive measure ensures a drastic reduc­tion in vibra­tions, espe­cially with multi-motor concepts.

The result: a high mass turn­table for those who don’t want to settle for less than the best! Acoustic Signature CLD:Constraint Layer DampingConstraint Layer Dam­ping (CLD) is a mecha­nical engi­nee­ring method for the absorp­tion or mini­mi­zation of vibra­tions. In audio compo­nents CLD techno­logy is usually imple­mented by using sand­wich designs that ’embed’ a damping material layer between mate­rials that do not them­selves have suffi­cient dam­ping proper­ties. A cart­ridge will only track a record unaffec­ted, if it finds a quiet sur­face without reso­nance inter­feren­ces. Accor­dingly, it is neces­sary to deve­lop vibration-free chassis and platter designs – this must be done in addi­tion to the reso­nance-reducing mea­sures for motors, drive and bea­ring cons­truc­tion.In order to achieve this, we already exten­ded the typical CLD techno­logy approach more than 20 years ago. Beyond the classic sand­wich cons­truc­tion, we presen­ted an absolute novelty to the high-end world: the Acoustic Signa­ture silencer platter, which imme­diately set new stan­dards in vibra­tion absorp­tion. Our twin-track CLD approach, which is mainly used in our high-mass turn­tables, is still unsur­passed in its effec­tiveness.In the course of plan­ning and deve­lo­ping our NEO product line, we have been working inten­sively on impro­ving our CLD con­cept. First, our tests led to an opti­mized material combi­nation consis­ting of two layers of a special alu­minum alloy and an inter­mediate brass layer. Second, this also led to a new arrange­ment as well as an adjust­ment of size, weight and position of our silencer brass bolts when imple­mented in our platters. In addition, we had to sensibly pair the two CLD tools descri­bed above with the NEO chassis to maxi­mize the effect. The elabo­rate material experi­ments and listening sessions were worth the efforts: in our NEO turn­table series we have succee­ded in taking the inter­action of all techno­logies to a stun­ning new level! A rigid, yet energy-absor­bing chassis based on finite element design princip­les, and our new CLD approach creates unbea­table units in terms of reso­nance behavior.The CLD techno­logies that we imple­ment in the Acoustic Signa­ture NEO turn­table gene­ration have clearly excee­ded our metro­logical expec­tations and also show off in terms of sound perfor­mance – with an even blacker back­ground, larger ima­ging, increa­sed trans­parency and, above all, breath­taking musicality. Acoustic Signature AVC:The Automatic Vibration ControlThe vision of an Auto­matic Vibration Control was born long before the plan­ning of our NEO series. During the deve­lop­ment of our new turn­table gene­ration we found it was the right time to bring our ideas to life: The high-quality AC motors that drive our turn­tables are cons­truc­ted with 2 coils and 24 poles. To make the coils rotate, they are fed with a sine wave and a 90° phase-shifted signal. Unfor­tu­nately all AC syn­chro­nous motors show pro­duction-related tole­ran­ces that pre­vent the poles and coils from being posi­tioned one hun­dred per­cent cor­rectly – a key reason for unwan­ted vibra­tions. In order to effec­tively mini­mize or even avoid these, all produc­tion tole­ran­ces must be com­pen­sa­ted by other means.This is where our AVC techno­logy comes in: It is able to mea­sure the resul­ting distor­tions in real time. Based on those measure­ments, AVC adjusts the phase shifts to the motor signals – also in real time and fully auto­matic! These digitally moni­tored cor­rec­tive mea­sures ensure a drastic reduc­tion of the vibra­tions – an extra effec­tive bene­fit for turn­tables driven by a multi-motor concept.The sonic gain is so dra­matic that we deci­ded to equip all NEO series turn­tables with that break­through tech­no­logy. Depen­ding on the drive system and the number of motors used, our Auto­matic Vibra­tion Control is imple­men­ted in three confi­gu­ration stages, each with diffe­rent intensity: AVC Level 1, AVC Level 2 & AVC Level 3. All stages – Level 3 stands for the highest effi­ciency – use diffe­rent soft­ware and hard­ware. In addition, from Level 2 on, the motors are strictly selec­ted and paired to maxi­mize the effect.

N30SA\'s dual-chassis design physically and electrically isolates the sensitive audio outputs from the noise-generating components of the machine to deliver an uncanny kind of coherence and quiet.The kind of quiet that results in the listener\'s ability to hear deep into the music and identify each individual instrument with unbridled dynamics, true-to-life timbre, deep bass extension and slam – even from the most complex musical passages.As with N20 and W20SE, N30SA\'s SPDIF and AES/EBU outputs are controlled by an ultra precise OCXO clock to minimize jitter and its harmful artifacts, therefore alleviating the harshness and incoherence that plagues some digital audio presentations. Add an external Master Clock connection like Aurender\'s MC20 for the ultimate in atomic clock timing accuracy. Key FeaturesTwo-Chassis DesignN30SA takes physical and electrical noise isolation to unprecedented extremes. By isolating the sensitive audio outputs from the noise generating pieces of the component, N30SA achieves a noise floor so low that nothing competes with the music.Discrete Power and Data Umbilical ConnectionsA pair of bespoke cables for connecting the two chassis are included in 0.5m and 1.5m lengths. One cable supplies power to the audio box, and a separate cable carries audio data. This connectivity scheme allows for further physical separation and noise suppression between the audio outputs and the rest of the component.Linear Power Supply with Integrated UPSN30SA’s unique hybrid power supply delivers a pure DC current to flawlessly power the digital audio output board, while a separate linear power supply chain feeds clean power to the non-audio adjacent components of the machine.

Specifically, all devices in the digital signal path must be synchronized in order to provide a coherent presentation.Therefore, for the ultimate experience in clarity, transparency, focused imaging, and natural realism, your system’s digital source, DAC, and any other up-samplers or converters should all receive the same synchronized clock signal from an ultra precise and stable source.The Aurender MC20 is both a Master Clock and Word Clock generator that is inspired, developed, and designed to deliver an exceptionally high level of digital audio realism from a connected music server and/or D/A converter.Thanks to the MC20’s superior timekeeping, jitter is reduced to infinitesimal levels resulting in the ultimate timbral purity and rock-steady placement of instruments within your system’s soundstage.At the heart of the MC20 is a rubidium module that generates a 10MHz master clock reference signal. A rubidium clock is employed for its superior accuracy and stability in both the long and short term for ultra-low jitter. Additionally, MC20 contains two discrete OCXO word clock modules for generating the frequencies 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.MC20 will independently and simultaneously supply the four 10MHz master clock outputs and four Word Clock outputs (2 at 44.1 kHz and 2 at 48 kHz) for unprecedented versatility with a wide variety of Aurender and third party equipment. Rubidium 10 MHz Clock ModuleThe rubidium clock module employed in the MC20 is an exceptionally stable and accurate design that establishes a new low level of phase noise and jitter. Its flawless performance delivers a new level of vivid clarity with a three-dimensional width, depth, and height to the sound field it creates.The reduction of jitter and phase noise removes any trace of “digital glare,” and instead provides an analog-style warmth and naturalism to any digital audio source. Discrete OCXO ClocksTWO SEPARATE CHANNELS OF OCXO WORD CLOCK GENERATORS WITH 75Ω AND 50Ω PORTS ON EACH CHANNEL.Many DACs and sources accept only Word Clock input as opposed to 10MHz Master Clock input. For connectivity with such equipment, 2 channels of discrete OCXO driven word clock outputs are included. Set one to 44.1 kHz, and the other to 48 kHz (and multiples thereof). Synchronized PerfectionAn innovative SPDIF sync channel enables automatic synchronization of word clock output depending on the content being played. ConnectivityConnect MC20 to an Aurender source + a DAC with clock input for the maximum benefit. However, even if your DAC does not have a clock input, synchronizing your Aurender transport with MC20 is still a revelation. - [Aurender AP20 Integrated Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/aurender-ap20-integrated-amplifier/) - Aurender AP20 Integrated AmplifierElegance. Finesse. Resolution. Grace. If ever Aristotle’s adage, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is applicable in audio, it applies to the AP20 - and given the quality and quantity of parts in this equation, that’s saying a lot.AP20 delivers unprecedented audio performance from an integrated amplifier. It includes the world’s best Class D amp modules in a dual-mono configuration, an analog R2R relay-based volume control and preamp section, Aurender’s best DAC, a master clock input, a headphone output, a suite of digital and analog inputs and outputs, and the most sophisticated linear power supply block Aurender has ever deployed.The result? An audio component that paints every musical timbre with full-bodied realism. With a delicate touch that\'s backed up by enormous headroom for transients and dynamic swings, AP20 drives even the most demanding speaker loads and casts a soundstage that is both expansive and laser-focused. All of this performance, with the heart of an Aurender.Other integrated amplifier solutions on the market may offer support for app-controlled streaming, but in nearly every case, the user experience, library management, and software playback engine are an afterthought requiring third-party software and hardware to get the job done. In AP20’s case, more than 10 years of industry-leading experience has made Aurender the digital source component of choice in the world’s finest audio systems.Now, that same holistic digital playback engine and user experience is available from an integrated amplifier that completely removes the need for more components and cables.Just add speakers, and enjoy a premium HiFi experience, without all the HiFi boxes. Key FeaturesUltra High-Performance Class D AmplifiersThere\'s Class D, and then there\'s ridiculously good Class D. AP20 utilizes the finest amplifier modules available. Designed by renowned engineer Bruno Putzeys, the Purifi Eigentakt 1ET400A amplifier is free of digital harshness, edginess, and grain. Featuring impressive specifications that are reflected in its extraordinary audio performance, AP20\'s dual-mono amplifier section represents the state-of-the-art of Class D amp technology.Dead-Quiet Linear Power SupplyMost Class D amplifier implementations utilize switch mode power supplies because they are efficient, cool-running, and inexpensive. However, this can introduce noise and distortion to the signal path, resulting in an audio presentation that lacks a sense of natural analog grace. So, in typical Aurender fashion, AP20 uses SIX discrete toroidal transformers to power the CPU, left & right DAC boards, FPGA processor, and power output stages, respectively.Aurender\'s Best DACAurender designed the AP20 for those seeking the simplicity of an all-in-one unit without sacrificing a high level of resolution, transparency, and inner detail. Built around an integrated dual-mono AKM4497 DAC module, AP20\'s best-in-class DAC section delivers high-resolution PCM, DSD, and MQA full-decoding at the highest level.Analog Volume ControlIn any system, the quality of the audio presentation is significantly impacted by the volume control mechanism of the preamplifier. Remarkably, AP20 employs an analog-domain volume control based on an R2R stepped-attenuator system.

We developed a proprietary marble-based composite material and special moulding technology to be able to make cabinets with such advanced surface geometry, inside and out.The combination of the high-density, solid mass of the moulded marble-based composite and the purposeful shapes, results in characteristics that allow for close to perfect acoustical properties. The cabinet is extremely rigid, highly dense, resonant-free, and with exceptional internal dampening and acoustical control.The unique shape of the cabinet is highly complicated and differs greatly from a classical box design.In fact, it’s not a box at all! There are no parallel walls, almost every surface inside is curved. The curved cabinet walls make the cabinet completely “dead” and non-resonant. Such a highly advanced and complex cabinet design and construction allows only pure and uninfluenced sound to emanate from the various high-performance driver elements.The 48 kg weight of the speaker gives it static and dynamic stability.This provides a solid foundation for the explosive acceleration of the driver membranes. There is no compression effect in macro dynamics and no confusion or uncertainty in subtle micro-dynamics of the sound.The Estelon X Centro Diamond Mk II cabinet has been designed in a way that there are no sharp edges. The soft curves of the cabinet eliminate the effects of reflective diffraction from the drivers’ output; thus, the directivity of the speaker is homogenous and wide. The frequency response and timing change very little from the centre to the sides, retaining smooth tonal characteristics and time alignment of the drivers.In order to achieve the highest degree of micro-detail fidelity, the filter components are connected directly, via point-to-point techniques, all hand-soldered with high-quality solder, and with the shortest possible cable runs between drivers, crossover and binding posts. - [Estelon X Centro Mk II](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-x-centro-mk-ii/) - Estelon X Centro Mk II The X Centro Mk II benefits from Estelon’s fundamental research into the science of sound.

Such a highly advanced and complex cabinet design and construction allows only pure and uninfluenced sound to emanate from the various high-performance driver elements.In order to assist the loudspeaker to unveil its purest musicality, advanced internal dampening has been implemented. The dampening was designed through a long testing process to have the best effect and overall balance throughout the musical spectrum. We have chosen different natural and synthetic dampening materials.The dampening materials type, placement and amount have been chosen through calculations, measuring and rigorous listening tests.Each loudspeaker has one woofer, one mid-woofer and one tweeter. In order for the speaker to reproduce the full spectrum of sound with the absolute highest quality, a combination of three different driver types has been carefully chosen.These high-quality drivers are designed and produced by German driver manufacturer Thiel & Partner GmbH under the brand name Accuton and are revered globally as the best.The crossover components have been chosen from among the absolute best available, and the synergy of the end result has been a significant deciding factor. Every component is measured to yield perfect pairs. The crossover filters are in their own isolated chamber to reduce the microphonic effects and vibration influence.The crossover filter slopes between woofer and mid-woofer are third-order, and second-order between mid-woofer and tweeter. - [Estelon X Diamond MkII SE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-x-diamond-mkii-se/) - Estelon X Diamond MkII Signature Edition (SE) Meticulously crafted and engineered, this limited-edition loudspeaker represents the pinnacle of sonic refinement and aesthetic sophistication.

Furthermore, the enclosure of each driver system has optimized enclosure geometry to suit specifically for the driver to perform its best. Such a highly advanced and complex cabinet design and construction allows only pure and uninfluenced sound to emanate from the various high-performance driver elements.Room dimensions and characteristics have a significant effect on the listening experience. The pressure at these frequencies changes equally in every position, similar to pressing on a balloon. In these conditions, it is impossible to localize the exact position of the bass driver. This situation allows the placement of the low-frequency driver to be separate from other drivers.The Estelon XB Diamond’s woofer is positioned close to the floor so that the woofer couple acoustically with the surface of the floor maximizing its efficiency and output. The placement of the woofer close to the floor assists in bass coherency and a more even distribution of room standing waves. This makes it easier to find a suitable listening position in the room, with fewer compromises in bass accuracy.In frequencies over 100 Hz, there are numerous sound reflections created between the loudspeakers and the walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture/décor. In these higher than low bass frequencies where the wavelength of the sound is short enough for human hearing to be able to detect where the sound originates and to produce localized peaks and valleys in the room due to standing waves, the placement of the driver in relation to other drives becomes significant.The drivers that reproduce sounds over 100 Hz (mid-woofer and tweeter) are grouped together and physically placed higher in the cabinets. In this configuration, the reflections from adjacent surfaces are minimized. Furthermore, a high degree of coherency can be achieved with a stable stereo image from high bass notes up to the highest harmonics. - [Estelon Forza](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-forza/) - Estelon Forza The Estelon Forza is a much-awaited addition to the Estelon flagship series. Standing at nearly 1.7 meters in height, the elegant design of the Forza features the very best of what Estelon has to offer - the perfect synergy between aesthetics and engineering. Using only the materials and components best suited for this model and manufacturing it with the greatest detail, the Forza brings music to life.With a sleek design composed of a single cabinet, the Forza is just a bit smaller in size than the Estelon Extreme. Forza, as the name already suggests, is full of unimaginable refined power. As the electric current passes through the driver elements, the Forza becomes alive.Every nuance dances through the air creating a realistic soundstage and fills the listener with rich emotions. The Forza is bound to impress everybody. Each speaker has two woofers, one mid-woofer, one midrange, and one tweeter. For the speaker to reproduce the full spectrum of sound with the absolute highest quality, a combination of four different driver types has been carefully chosen.The two 250 mm (11-inch) aluminum sandwich woofers have been designed together with Accuton engineers, especially for the Estelon flagship loudspeakers. These drivers have an extremely stiff and lightweight membrane and very long linear excursion.In combination with the Cell concept motor system, where the voice coil is almost the same diameter as the whole membrane, these drivers in the Forza cabinet can reproduce a truly deep, accurate, and effortless bass. The Forza’s bass has been said to sound like “live bass”. This is a result of meticulous engineering.The 190 mm (8-inch) aluminum sandwich mid-woofer has also been co-developed together with the Accuton engineering team, with a unique motor system employing neodymium magnets to have higher sensitivity and suitable parameters for the Forza.The 168 mm (7-inch) ceramic membrane midrange driver from Accuton employs a lightweight, extremely rigid, alpha-corundum membrane.In combination with the powerful, highly optimized Cell concept motor system, with a neodymium magnet ring, the result is a highly efficient and transparent sounding midrange driver.The 25 mm (1-inch) chemical vapor-deposited diamond membrane tweeter from Accuton can reproduce sounds at the highest frequencies, up to 60 kHz, with no distortions in the human hearing range.Symmetrical driver positioning – both woofers have exactly the same acoustic load outside the loudspeaker as inside. Due to such configuration, both woofers move identically and without competing with each other. We call this Symmetric Driver Loading (SDL) technology.The three upper drivers are positioned on the curved front panel in a way that from the listening position these are approximately at the same distance from the listener. This, combined with the meticulously fine-tuned cross-over filters, means that the sound from each driver reaches the listening position at the same time, resulting in a coherent, precise sound signal with uncompressed dynamics, perfect tonal balance, very precise imaging, and lifelike sound-staging. - [Estelon XB MKII](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-xb-mkii/) - Estelon XB MKII Scott Walker Audio is proud to introduce the Estelon XB Mk II.

The perfect speaker system for those seeking to experience thrilling sound throughout the whole frequency spectrum. - [Estelon YB MKII](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-ybmkii/) - Estelon YB MKII Scott Walker Audio is proud to offer the Estelon YB Mk II. The distinctive style of YB Mk II may be a masterpiece of sleek design, as with all the Estelon products, but it is also a triumph of “form follows function”.With an emphasis on lines and surfaces, as opposed to the X-Series’ organic curves, the resulting Y shape, from which the YB name derives, is obtained by the system’s asymmetric driver positioning.The newly upgraded YB Mk II contains new crossover and cabling and it\'s now coming in the same marble based composite cabinet for a quality of sound that immerses the listener in both the technical brilliance and the emotional ebb and flow of the audio experience.The Estelon YB Mk II loudspeakers use a sealed box concept, which is more compact compared to the bass reflex concept and is less demanding regarding the positioning requirements in a room. The bass is nimble, accurate, and with an authentic timbre.Estelon engineering took many years of research and testing to find the right material that would allow the highest quality of cabinet and construction for the loudspeaker’s acoustically engineered complex shape. We developed a proprietary marble-based composite material and special moulding technology to be able to make cabinets with such advanced surface geometry, inside and out.The cabinet is extremely rigid, highly dense, resonant-free, and with exceptional internal dampening and acoustical control.The tweeter is a 25 mm (1 inch) beryllium “Illuminator” driver from Scan-Speak. This very stiff and lightweight dome enables the driver to have very low distortion, high sensitivity and near-perfect impulse response. The break-up modes occur well outside the human hearing range.The mid-woofer is a Scan-Speak “Revelator” 148 mm (5.8 inches) sliced paper cone.The slices are filled with proprietary damping glue, which reduces and modifies the break-up modes behavior in the diaphragm.This leads to a flat frequency response and less distortion in the mid-range frequencies.The woofer is a 220 mm (8.6 inches) SEAS unit. The lightweight and stiff aluminum cone provides tremendous bass precision.The cone and the low-loss rubber surround, show no sign of the familiar cone edge resonance and distortion associated with soft cones.The combination of the heavy and rigid marble-based material, curved shapes, and internal bracing suppress the cabinets inherent resonances to practically non-existent levels. The drivers have everything to support them to perform their absolute best.The chamber of the mid-woofer and tweeter driver is isolated and constructed by the same principles as the woofer chamber, free from resonances and well dampened.The bass driver is positioned at an angle, facing the other loudspeaker. In smaller rooms, the loudspeakers are often located near the sidewalls and part of the midrange frequencies reflect on the walls and add colouration to the sound. The stereo image can also be impaired.The angled woofer position assists in reducing these reflections so that the audio signal remains purer with more uniform bass propagation. For this reason, the left and right speakers are in a mirror-like position.With their asymmetrical design, the Estelon Model YB speakers are a prime example of a functional design approach. The cabinets are moulded from a marble based composite material and shaped to optimize sound quality.The placement of the drivers in the cabinet is also well thought out: the mid-woofer is positioned above the beryllium driver to minimize sonic reflections from the floor.The wider speaker base accommodates the bass driver with aluminum diaphragm. Since the woofers are angled towards each other, they can be placed close to a wall even in smaller rooms without having to cope with overlapping sound. - [Estelon Aura](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/estelon-aura/) - Estelon Aura The Estelon AURA loudspeaker is designed and constructed by taking into consideration the environmental acoustics of the real-life listening spaces.

The design objective was ambitious: create the most compact three-way S Series loudspeaker ever, with a size-to-performance ratio never achieved before. We at Magico are proud to say: mission accomplished. The S2 is available in a generous selection of premium finishes: six Softec choices that are rich in color depth, smooth to the touch, and very durable; and six High Gloss finishes that are expertly polished to a lustrous shine with a clear top coat.The three-footer support system uses constrained-layer damping and premium materials for greatly enhanced sonic performance. EnclosureMagico is renowned for its no-holds-barred research-and-development projects and the S2’s was no different. A Polytec Laser Vibrometer was used to measure the vibration of the S2’s cabinet panels during development.This, along with the latest simulated 3D modeling, gave Magico the ability to address potential resonance early in the design process as opposed to using a band-aid approach afterward.The result is the S2’s compact-yet-refined cabinet, crafted entirely from extruded aluminum, a design that minimizes diffraction and maximizes strength.Unique to the S2: the enclosure is built around the largest single-piece extrusion Magico has yet produced. A full-length vertical brace is integral to the S2’s extruded cabinet, yielding increased rigidity and stiffness, while also enabling optimal damping strategies.This advancement, along with Magico’s tried-and-true S Series enclosure technology, meant that engineers were able to verify that the S2 exceeded the target results set for it: the enclosure will not add coloration to your music. DriversLike the S3 and S5 before it, the S2 benefits from the Gen 8 Nano-Tec driver cone, which consists of an aluminum-honeycomb core sandwiched by graphene-reinforced carbon-fiber skins.The result has pushed distortion lower than ever before. In addition to vastly improved cone construction, Magico has invested three years on a new generation of driver chassis.With the S2, Magico introduces the first 7” driver that uses this advancement. The S2’s midrange is 5” in diameter and is equipped with a generous 75mm voice coil. Bass in the S2 is provided by a pair of newly developed 7” woofers.Both midrange and woofers have Gen 8 Nano-Tec cones built into third-generation chassis.The S2 produces a crystal-clear midrange and accurate, undistorted low frequencies with a maximum SPL of 109dB at 55Hz measured at 1 meter. The S2’s sophisticated 28mm tweeter is based on the flagship M9’s, and uses a diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm.The S2’s upper frequencies—extending to a staggering 50kHz—are detailed yet subtle and reveal highs that are revelatory in information retrieval. Elliptical Symmetry CrossoverThe S2’s three-way Elliptical Symmetry Crossover (ESXO) is a topology of rare distinction. The crossover is implemented with an acoustical-target 24dB-slope using a Linkwitz-Riley filter. Maximum frequency and phase linearity is accomplished, while keeping intermodulation distortion to vanishing levels.The S2 uses a full complement of state-of-the-art components from Mundorf of Germany, including M-Resist Ultra foil resistors, which deliver greater power handling, increased transparency, and more sonic liquidity than previous components.New is the copper foil paper coil, which improves the noise floor by reducing microphonic effects.The result of the S2’s ESXO crossover is superior coherence from the speaker’s four drive units. FinishesThe S5 is available in a generous selection of premium finishes: six Softec choices that are rich in color depth, smooth to the touch, and very durable; and six High Gloss finishes that are expertly polished to a lustrous shine with a clear top coat.Softec finish: $37,400 / High Gloss finish: $43,000 - [Arya Audio Labs RevOpod](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/arya-audio-labs-revopod/) - Arya Audio Labs RevOpods™Moves in all directions RevOpod is unique in many ways, especially when it comes to its extraordinary vibration control capabilities.

Each part is then meticulously polished by hand until a chrome-like mirror finish is achieved. For the colored versions, an additional Titanium-Nitride (TiN) coating is applied on top of the mirror-polished surface using a tightly controlled high-temperature vacuum environment. This specialized process is commonly used by the most coveted watchmakers and is synonymous with quality and durability. - [Audio Research Reference 6SE Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/audio-research-reference-6se-preamplifier/) - Audio Research Reference 6SE Preamplifier In 1973, the SP3 was hailed by every major critic as the best preamplifier available, and that benchmark has driven us ever since. The Reference Series from Audio Research was first introduced in 1995 and has been the ultimate expression of performance, musicality and dynamics. Reference preamps have awakened countless listeners to the irreplaceable contribution of a great preamp to a system’s final performance. The Reference 6SE is the latest chapter in our story. The Reference 6SE delivers the highest performance ever available in a single-chassis preamplifier. Benefitting from research that went into the Reference 160-series amplifiers, and the Reference 750SEL amplifier, the 6SE incorporates a myriad of new components that have been judiciously incorporated into its design. With a single gain stage, the 6SE is a fully-balanced, Class-A design with zero feedback. In addition to six long-life 6H30 tubes in the gain stage, the enormous and highly-regulated power supply has another 6H30 with a 6550, typically found as an output tube in a power amplifier, providing vacuum-tube regulation. The 6SE stands on the shoulders of prior Reference preamplifiers and the latest ARC power amplifiers from which innovations were taken. As such, it forms the foundational circuit for other pre-amplification products such as the Reference Phono 3SE. Regardless of the recording, in stepping up into a Reference preamplifier, the sonic gains are immediate and compelling. Effortless, dynamic, and dimensional. The speed and resolution merge with musical color and textures that are both accurate and captivating.

The SRX PowerCell 14 represents our relentless pursuit of perfection, delivering a power foundation that transforms good systems into exceptional ones and exceptional systems into revelatory musical experiences.The new SRX PowerCell 14 is a direct application of our cost-no-object SRX PowerCell’s innovations in a more accessible form factor—without compromise. This isn’t a scaled-down version of something greater; it’s the deliberate implementation of our most advanced power conditioning technologies to deliver uncompromising SRX performance in an optimized footprint.Created specifically for reference systems where space demands flexibility but performance remains non-negotiable, it embodies our commitment to providing the absolute highest level of power conditioning technology in a form that adapts to your system’s needs.Experience what’s possible when cost-no-object technology meets purpose-built design. The SRX PowerCell 14—redefining the art of power conditioning. Flagship Electromagnetic ConditioningAt the heart of the SRX PowerCell 14 are seven large-format SRX Electromagnetic Cells-each hand-built, air-dielectric, and precision-encased in carbon fiber, and five times larger than those in the standard PowerCell 14.These cells represents the same comprehensive, from-the-ground-up redesign as our SRX PowerCell, utilizing identical geometry, materials, and UEF compounds to deliver unprecedented dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum, a dramatically lower noise floor, and holographic realism that redefines what’s possible in power conditioning.These remarkable EM Cells perform a dual function—not only do they provide unparalleled power conditioning, but they also serve as massive super-capacitors. This critical capability allows the SRX PowerCell 14 to store and deliver peak current that surpasses what a standard 20A wall circuit can provide.The result? Even the most power-hungry amplifiers exhibit heightened dynamics and more precise leading-edge transients when connected to the SRX PowerCell 14 than when plugged directly into the wall. 14 Fully Isolated OutletsStrategic implementation is as crucial as raw power. The SRX PowerCell 14 distributes its seven immense EM Cells across three separate, isolated banks of Pink Quantum Outlets — along with two 5v LPS USB outputs are also available to power FEQs, Atmospheres, or other accessories you may have — ensuring complete isolation between digital, analog, and high-current components.Each of the isolated outlets is star-grounded through pure silver internal wiring, with conductors identical to those found in the SRX loom of cables. This sophisticated architecture eliminates cross-contamination between different types of equipment, preserving the purity of the signal path from source to amplification while ensuring every component receives the purest, most dynamically unrestricted power possible—allowing your equipment to perform beyond what you thought possible. Pure Silver Internal WiringTo ensure energy can be transferred between the internal components to surpass 20A peak current, each SRX PowerCell 14 is assembled with point to point wiring consisting of nearly a pound of pure 6N silver totaling 30ft. Re-engineered ULF and DC BiasingULF, in its most basic principle, is how we ‘reclock’ our music to the Schumann Resonance by passively addressing and filtering out ambient RF and extreme high frequency noise that would otherwise degrade sound. The SRX PowerCell 14 utilizes the SRX PowerCell’s power supply and ULF Field Generator, which improves upon the Galileo SX PowerCell in the following ways:We implement a reformulated Ultra Low-Frequency RF bias captured from learnings gleaned from our SRX PowerCell and Voodoo streamer/server development programs.The nature of how we bias ULF has dramatically changed.The way we integrate both ULF and DC into EM cells has also changed.The power supply that generates the DC bias to EM cells has been radically evolved.New 24k Gold UEF tuning circuits bring harmonic richness and enhanced musicality.With these advancements, we are now able to precisely control the phase points between the frequencies used for bias. When selecting between the biases on the SRX PowerCell 14, they reflect SR’s most current understanding of ULF treatment and will deliver a more favorable, welcoming response to your music. Three frequency bias, one perfect sound. Blue (Default): This option offers a laid-back midrange with a linear transition of notes from low frequencies to midrange to highs, creating a large and enveloping sound stage.Green: The midrange is slightly more forward compared to the Blue option, with a bit more bass emphasis.Red: Convincingly portray large-scale performances and electronic music. Grounding, ElevatedThe internal power supply and ULF Generator included in the SRX PowerCell 14 are further enhanced with a UEF Ground Plane first developed for the Galileo SX PowerCell to lower the noise floor and increase soundstaging.And to take this performance to a higher level still there is the option to ground the SRX PowerCell 14 to one of our Active Ground Blocks which improves low-frequency weight and attack as it lowers the noise floor further still without sacrificing one of the duplexes, so you have the full 14 outlets to filter all components in your system without loss of current. Form Elevates FunctionCompared to the larger SRX PowerCell, the SRX PowerCell 14 chassis is a compact, purpose-built design. Its smaller form factor accommodates space considerations while continuing to deliver reference performance in a chassis that is mechanically and electromagnetically voiced.Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, carbon fiber and plexiglass, its design strategically dampens and directs mechanical resonance from the ambient environment, the energy created by your speakers and how that feeds back into the circuit, and the vibrations generated by the transformers in the unit. The material makeup, physical size, and windows into the unit optimize the efficiency and directivity of the electromagnetic fields generated by the EM cells to bring sound as close to life as possible. 9 Lighting OptionsYou can even change the color and intensity of the light that illuminates both the front amp meter and a top circuit view window. Select between Galileo White, Synergistic Research Blue, Dante Red, and McIntosh Blue to match its lighting to the other components in your system. And if you prefer no light at all you can choose to be boring, it’s all up to you. Completing Your Power FoundationEvery SRX PowerCell 14 ships standard with a $13,000 SRX XL power cord—custom-tuned to perfectly complement the PowerCell’s internal EM Cells. This synergistic pairing creates a complete power foundation that eliminates the weakest link in your system’s power delivery chain, ensuring optimal performance from wall to component. - [Devialet Astra Stereo Integrated Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/devialet-astra-stereo-integrated-amplifier/) - Devialet Astra Stereo Integrated AmplifierAll-in-One Sophistication Discover the pinnacle of sound with Devialet Astra Light Bronze.

This can lead to changing speaker placement, or even rearranging furniture (which may not go over too well with other members of the household).Instead of wasting time fiddling with your system or room, take control of your sound with the MQ112 Environmental Equalizer and spend more time listening to your music.In the relentless pursuit of perfect audio, we understand the frustration of adapting your living space for optimal sound reproduction. With the MQ112, you can make changes to the music itself so that room acoustic problems can be overcome. The results can be stunning and can make even a great sounding stereo system sound even better. 8 BANDS OF CONTROLAt the heart of the MQ112 lies an 8-band analog equalizer (also called a stereo equalizer) that allows you to increase or decrease the levels of the audio signal at 8 key bands in the 25Hz – 10kHz audio frequency range. Think of it as a sonic sculptor that allows you to finely tune the audio signal. With an impressive ±12dB range of adjustment for each band, you can easily cope with any sound challenge. The MQ112 is the solution you need to enhance or subdue particular instrument ranges or voice types, transforming your listening experience. IMPROVE THE SOUND OF OLDER MUSICThe MQ112 Environmental Equalizer does more than just fix room acoustics; it can also breathe new life into older, imperfect recordings. With the master precision of the MQ112, you can target specific frequencies, compensating for deficiencies in vintage tracks and unveiling their hidden brilliance.The TILT knob, with its subtle tonal balance shift of ±6dB, allows you to customize your sound further. Boost the bass while reducing treble, or vice versa – the choice is yours. The EQ Control knob\'s IN and OUT settings let you bypass the entire equalizer circuit so you compare the adjusted sound to the original, unaltered version, ensuring you achieve the perfect audio profile.The equalizer can also be triggered IN or OUT using the rear panel’s EQ Control Trigger, giving you seamless control over when the MQ112 works its magic. Also, by using one of the programmable triggers in the audio system\'s preamplifier, the EQ can be switched IN or OUT depending on input or amplifier choice.Crafted with precision and versatility, the MQ112 boasts remarkably low noise circuits and minimal distortion, harmonizing seamlessly with high-performance audio systems. VERSATILE AUDIO SYSTEM COMPONENTBoth balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs are included on the versatile MQ112, making it easy to add it to your stereo system: simply place it between the preamplifier and power amplifier(s) and connect them all together using the inputs and outputs of your choice.The input type you use does not have to match the output type; for example, you could connect a preamplifier (or another audio component with volume control like some CD Players) via the unbalanced inputs, but then connect the MQ112 to your power amplifier(s) with balanced cables via the balanced outputs.The MQ112 can also be used with integrated amplifiers, provided the integrated amp has removable jumpers so the preamplifier section can be disconnected from the power amplifier section.The versatility of the MQ112 is further evident in its second pair of outputs, which opens a world of possibilities for enjoying your music. You can play the same music through a separate stereo system in another room, bi-amp a single pair of speakers for optimal sound control, or connect a subwoofer for that extra bass punch.For subwoofers without stereo inputs, the second output on the MQ112 can be set to MONO; two subwoofers can also be connected this way. In more intricate systems, the MQ112 can be connected through PROCESSOR loops and TAPE MONITOR record/play connections found on many preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers. - [McIntosh MPC1500 Power Control](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-mpc1500-power-control/) - McIntosh MPC1500 Power Control Today’s AC power lines are littered with the byproduct from countless noise inducing devices. The MPC1500 Power Controller can shield your home audio components from this noise as well as protect it from power surges. With the MPC1500, you can provide clean, consistent power to your home audio system, enabling it to deliver its best possible sonic performance.At the heart of the MPC1500 is a large but quiet toroidal isolation transformer that has been specially wound to act as a low pass filter to remove unwanted noise from the AC line. The MPC1500 also employs a quick-acting surge suppression module that activates when the voltage reaches approximately 2V above nominal operating levels.This excess voltage is slowly and harmlessly released to the circuit’s neutral wire rather than the ground wire, where it could still find its way to your audio components and cause damage. Unlike surge protection devices that use other suppression methods or “power conditioners,” the MPC1500’s suppression module is not sacrificial and will not need replacing after a surge event.The MPC1500 comes with 6 medical grade Type B1 (a.k.a. NEMA 5-15R) duplex receptacles. Two of the receptacles are always active when the MPC1500 is plugged in. Control of the other 4 receptacles can be configured to your preferences via the rear panel Power Control switches. LED indicators on both the front and back show the current in-use state of each receptacle.Our blue Watt meters have been repurposed to show the real time incoming voltage and the actual current draw of the connected devices. The MPC1500 features the timeless McIntosh black glass front panel with blue meters, an illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps. 1) As defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission. - [McIntosh MP100 Phono Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-mp100-phono-preamplifier/) - McIntosh MP100 Phono Preamplifier The MP100 is the first dedicated phono preamplifier from McIntosh and is designed to help both new and experienced vinyl lovers get the most fidelity, performance and – most importantly – enjoyment from their albums.Like all McIntosh products, the MP100 is packed with features designed specifically for the vinyl lover including: Moving Coil and Moving Magnet inputs; Moving Coil and Moving Magnet adjustable loading (6 settings each); balanced and unbalanced analog outputs; optical, coax and USB digital outputs; and a Mono switch for when playing mono records to decrease noise and play the signal correctly.For pure analog use, the digital outputs can be completely disabled and powered down. There are many ways to integrate the MP100 into your audio system. If you’re new to vinyl and just building your system, it can become the main part of your setup. Or if you already have a system with an older preamp you don’t want to part with, the MP100 is an excellent way to add modern phono features.If you’ve got a Home Theater system and would like to add a turntable, the MP100 is an easy way to add full phono preamp capabilities without having to get a full-sized stereo preamp that would undoubtedly duplicate many of your home theater processor’s features.While spinning vinyl on a turntable is a great and unique way to enjoy music, there’s no denying the convenience of having digital versions of the albums. When used with a properly configured conversion program, the MP100 can “rip” the records to a computer via USB to produce high quality digital files.The digital outputs are fixed at 24-bit/96kHz to capture the full dynamic range of a record while optimizing digital file size. If an album has a very loud section, the clipping indicator will alert you so you can lower the digital output in order to produce a distortion-free recording.Compact in size at just 3” tall, it has many ageless McIntosh design cues. It shares the same 11.5” narrow chassis design as the MXA80 Integrated Audio System, MHA150 Headphone Amplifier and MB50 Streaming Audio Player to help build a cohesive system. It can also easily be added to a system comprised of standard, wider width chassis. - [McIntosh ML1 MkII](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-ml1-mkii/) - McIntosh ML1 MkII Speaker The ML1 Loudspeaker was the first speaker McIntosh ever made. It was introduced in 1970 with a mid-century modern design style and produced amazing sound quality with high volume output capability and tremendous bass response, especially when paired with an external equalizer. Countless music enthusiasts chose the ML1 to listen to their cherished music.The original ML1 was discontinued in 1977, though we have continued to offer high performance speakers ever since. Now with a gesture to our speaker origins, we are bringing back the ML1 as the ML1 Loudspeaker Mk II. VINTAGE OUTSIDEExternally, the new ML1 evokes memories of when the original ML1 was available – a time when there were less distractions, and it was easier to listen to music and become immersed in it. The classic looks of the ML1 rekindles the mood of that era so you can relax and appreciate your favorite songs.The cabinet is built from oiled American Walnut solid woods and veneers with a satin finish. It has a matching magnetically attached, removable wood grille with acoustically transparent black knit cloth with a touch of metal trim, giving the speaker a refined look. Gone are the vertical wood slats found on the original ML1\'s grille that could interfere with music playback. The new ML1\'s grille only has acoustically transparent cloth that does not obstruct the music. CUTTING-EDGE INSIDEInternally, the new ML1 is full modern performance-first speaker technology. A 4-way speaker, the ML1 uses five separate speaker drivers to produce astonishing sound:Woofer: one 12\" woofer in a sealed enclosure with a polypropylene cone and dust cap with synthetic rubber suspension.Lower Midrange: two 4\" lower midrange drivers in a sealed sub-enclosure also with polypropylene cones and dust caps with synthetic rubber suspension.Upper Midrange: one 2\" soft dome upper midrange.Tweeter: one 3/4\" Titanium dome tweeter (the same tweeter used in our XR50 and XR100 speakers).Unlike the original ML1, the drivers on the new generation ML1 are positioned symmetrically so there is not a dedicated left and right speaker, eliminating the possibility of installing the speakers in the wrong orientation, and providing a more uniform listening area.A specially milled transition plate houses the midranges and tweeter and allows them to be placed close together. Their close proximity to each other reduces off axis lobing of the sound field and places all the acoustic output that typically impacts imaging together in a small space. The transition plate also provides a strong foundation for the upper frequency units to reduce vibrations that might affect the sound.Internal cabinet bracing provides an airtight and separated enclosure from the 12\" woofer to further minimize vibrations.The upper midrange in the ML1 has low resonance and high-power handling capabilities; this allows the crossover point between the lower and upper midranges to avoid the 1kHz frequency that is critical to producing clear vocals. The crossover frequency of the tweeter reduces vertical lobing of the sound field and allows the ML1 to reproduce the recorded music more faithfully. POWERFUL BY DESIGNThe ML1 is engineered to handle up to 600 Watts from an amplifier, making it perfect for high-powered listening sessions that would strain other speakers. Its five individual speaker drivers work together to share the power load, keeping the ML1 unstressed when fed clean, high-power from powerful amplifiers such as the McIntosh MC611 and MC462. The resulting life-sized sound can fill up all but the largest rooms.The woofer also uses our patented Low Distortion High Performance (LD/HP®) Magnetic Circuit Design that significantly reduces distortion while increasing power handling and efficiency. The performance improvements from LD/HP are so vast that the 12\" woofer in the ML1 could rival woofers twice its size. - [McIntosh MI254 4-CH Digital Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-mi254-4-ch-digital-amplifier/) - McIntosh MI254 4-CH Digital Amplifier The MI254 4-Channel Digital Amplifier is a versatile multi-channel amplifier ideal for use in distributed audio, home theater or 2-channel stereo playback.

With support for breathtaking 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video and leading home theater surround sound audio formats Dolby® Atmos and DTS:X™, plus delivering 120 – 150 Watts of legendary McIntosh power to your home theater speakers, the MHT300 will make your home theater dreams come true.Full Power to All Speakers All the TimeDon’t be fooled by high watts per channel specs listed by many other AV receivers on the market as many times the fine print will show that those power ratings only apply to just two channels driven. That may be fine for a stereo setup, but a home theater has a lot more than just two channels to drive.With the MHT300, the power ratings are for all seven channels being driven. That means every 4 Ohm speaker will receive 150 Watts and every 8 Ohm speaker will receive 120 Watts of heart pounding McIntosh power to bring all your favorite movies and video content to life. Every explosion, every car chase, every high-speed flyby of a fighter jet or spaceship, every roar of the crowd after a game winning score will be faithfully reproduced by 120 – 150 Watts on every one of your speakers. With the MHT300, you’ll no longer have to wonder if each speaker is getting the full power listed on the box.Can Expand with Your NeedsThe MHT300 can also grow with your theater as its individual amplifier modules can be configured in many ways to suit your specific speaker configuration. If someday your home cinema expands beyond seven channels, additional external amplifiers can be connected to the MHT300 to power them via the Height 1 and Height 2 audio outputs.An external amplifier, such as the McIntosh MI254 4-Channel Amplifier, would be connected to these outputs to drive these additional speakers. This would effectively turn the MHT300 into a 7.2.4 channel AVR.Even if you do not add more speakers to your home cinema, more power could be added. For example, if you decide you want more power for your front left and right speakers, you can add an external stereo amplifier to your system (such as the McIntosh MI502 amplifier) and connect it to the MHT300 by simply removing the jumper from the selected channel(s), then connecting the output on the MHT300 to the input on the stereo amplifier.Or you could connect a higher power mono amplifier to drive the center channel speaker. In these cases, the selected channel(s) would be driven by the more powerful external amplifier.State of the Art Room CorrectionAdvanced room adjustment and correction is provided via Dirac Live® Room Correction.

McIntosh has been perfecting vacuum tube amplifiers since the 1940s and solid state amplifiers since the 1960s. Our amplifiers have been used at many historic events including presidential inaugurations and Woodstock, as well as in landmark sound systems like the Grateful Dead\'s Wall of Sound and Despacio. From that heritage comes a truly one-of-a-kind home audio amplifier only we could dream of, design and build as the ultimate solution for bi-amping loudspeakers: the McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier.The MC901 is a monoblock amplifier that drives a single speaker. But it is unlike any other monoblock amplifier. What makes the MC901 so unique is that it\'s two amplifiers combined into one. Adding to the uniqueness is that each amplifier is of differing design philosophies: the MC901 consists of a 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier attached to a 600 Watt solid state amplifier on one unified chassis.The MC901 includes our Hybrid Drive™ technology that uses the best of vacuum tubes and solid state to produce the best sound performance. The 300 Watt vacuum tube portion powers the speaker\'s mid and upper drivers via eight KT88 output tubes, plus four 12AT7 and two 12AX7A signal tubes; the solid state section delivers 600 Watts of dedicated power to the power hungry woofers.The 300 Watt vacuum tube amp in the MC901 uses our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer – the same technology McIntosh was founded on in 1949 – to deliver its full 300 Watts into almost any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance. Similarly, the 600 Watt solid state amp delivers its full 600 Watts into a 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance speaker via our Autoformer™ technology.Vacuum tubes do not perform at their best when they are amplifying lower frequencies that are not being used by the loudspeaker. With the MC901, the vacuum tube amp will not be burdened with low end reproduction as the solid state section will drive these frequencies.The two amplifier sections of the MC901 are designed to work together in a synergistic relationship and are specifically engineered to assure that each section only amplifies it\'s intended frequencies. Each amplifier section has its own discrete power supply so neither siphons power or performance away from the other. All of this results in easy bi-amping with unparalleled performance and sound reproduction from your speakers.Prior to the MC901, bi-amping a speaker required two separate amplifiers. It also required an external crossover, along with a lot of trial and error, to properly configure the two detached amplifiers so they worked together as best as possible. The MC901 solves this issue thanks to its internal, adjustable crossover with the controls easily accessible on the top of the unit.These adjustable crossover filters allow you to optimize the performance of both amplifier sections to your listening preferences. Relative gain levels for each amplifier section can be adjusted from -6dB to + 3dB. A direct feed can also be connected to each amplifier section, thus bypassing the filters.Like virtually all McIntosh amplifiers, the MC901 features an iconic \"McIntosh Blue\" Watt meter, which has come to be recognized around the world as a symbol of quality home audio. And just like the MC901 itself is a new design, so too is its meter with the introduction of our new DualView™ Power Output Meter.The DualView meter features two of our traditional, fast responding mechanical meters stacked above and below each other in a single meter window; one meter is dedicated to the 300 Watt vacuum tube amp and the other to the 600 Watt solid state amp. Each meter operates independently of the other and displays the real time power reading of each amplifier section.While an entirely new design, the MC901 comes with the technology one would expect from a McIntosh amplifier:Power Guard® that monitors and adjusts the input signal in the 600 Watt solid state amplifier section in real time, then makes unobtrusive adjustments to prevent harsh sounding distortion and potential speaker damaging clipping.Power Guard Screen Grid Sensor™ (SGS). The 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier section of the MC901 breaks new ground as it\'s our first amplifier to feature our new Power Guard SGS™ technology. Power Guard SGS helps prevent premature vacuum tube failure by monitoring the screen grid current in the KT88 output vacuum tubes. If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which then dynamically attenuates the input signal in real time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels.Sentry Monitor™ observes the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits.Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal.Power Control that can send power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdown.Our patented, gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily and securely attach the speaker cables.McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ that are connected to advanced high current output transistors efficiently cool the solid state amplifier section.Our Power Management System that will turn the entire unit off after a set amount of time when no input signal has been detected.Although the MC901 may look different than any McIntosh product before it, a quick glance reveals signature McIntosh design cues. The top is highlighted by a series of diagrams printed on glass that outline the basic circuitry and specifications of the unit, along with a glass nameplate trimmed with a circular aluminum ring that\'s finished to match the front panel end caps.The sides are adorned with vintage McIntosh-styled die cast aluminum name badges.

There\'s no denying the historic significance of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair. There had never been anything like it, and many would argue there\'s not been anything like it since. With an unexpected crowd of over 400,000 people, there was a lot that could have gone wrong – and some things did. But one aspect that\'s nearly universally agreed upon was how great all the musicians sounded.That sound quality is thanks in part to the McIntosh MC3500 Vacuum Tube Amplifiers that exclusively powered the sound system used at Woodstock.1 The MC3500 would go on to power many other influential music events.It was at a 2019 event to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock where McIntosh President Charlie Randall, realizing the historical importance of the MC3500, first dreamed of bringing it back into production. That proved no easy task considering it was first designed over 50 years ago. But after more than two years of development, that dream has become reality as McIntosh is proud to announce the MC3500 Vacuum Tube Amplifier Mk II. The MC3500 Vacuum Tube Amplifier Mk II is a conservatively rated 350 Watt monoblock that takes its inspiration from the original 1968-71 MC3500 and incorporates everything we have learned about vacuum tube amplifier design since the 1960s. It has been upgraded to modern standards and with modern components to deliver an audio performance worthy of its predecessor and the legacy of their shared model number – all while adhering to the original design as much as possible.Like the original MC3500, the MC3500 Mk II uses our Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer, which allows the full 350 Watts to be safely delivered to virtually any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4 or 8-Ohm impedance.The MC3500 Mk II is powered by eight EL509S high-power output vacuum tubes. The EL509S tube was chosen specifically due to it having many similar qualities and characteristics of the 6LQ6 \"sweep tubes\" used on the original MC3500. Like the 6LQ6, the EL509S is very rugged thanks to its robust cathode and associated heating element which produces a high peak plate current capability in excess of 1 Amp.Sweep tubes like the original 6LQ6 were primarily designed for 1950-60s era TVs where they would sweep the cathode ray gun in the picture tube across the phosphor screen. This was a very power-hungry process that required these high-powered sweep tubes. The use of sweep tubes by McIntosh engineers in the original MC3500 amplifier was a very cool and innovative application.By using the high-power EL509S vacuum tubes, the MC3500 Mk II amplifier remains as faithful as possible to original MC3500 output design. In addition, just like in the original MC3500, the MC3500 Mk II uses an additional feedback loop to enhance the linearity of the output tubes.Like the original MC3500, the MC3500 Mk II has a fully balanced driver section that utilizes three 12AX7A and one 12AT7 vacuum tubes. The first 12AX7A is the differential input amp; the second is the buffer/driver for the voltage amp; the third is the voltage amp. The 12AT7 is the buffer/driver for the EL509S output tubes.All the vacuum tubes are located behind the power and output transformers, and are covered by a 12-gauge stainless steel wire cage with a black powder coated finish. The cage is shaped so that our patented, gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts are easily accessible even when the cage is installed.Our exclusive Power Guard Screen Grid Sensor™ (SGS) technology is included in the MC3500 Mk II. Power Guard SGS is designed specifically for our vacuum tube amplifiers and similar in nature to our patented Power Guard® technology found in our solid-state amplifiers. Power Guard SGS helps prevent premature vacuum tube failure by monitoring the screen grid current in the output vacuum tubes.If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which dynamically attenuates the input signal in real time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels. The fully balanced driver section of the MC3500 MK II is an ideal match to use with Power Guard SGS. Sentry Monitor™, which observes the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits, is also included.Both a balanced and unbalanced input are included for connecting to your preamplifier and the rest of your home audio system. A balanced and unbalanced output are also included for multi-amp configurations, such as bi-amping or tri-amping.Just as the original MC3500 did, the Mk II version has an output meter, though it\'s larger and centered on the front panel instead of offset to the left side. This makes the meter easier to read and presents a symmetrical look in a typical two-channel stereo system layout.The meter uses a variation of our DualView™ Power Output Meter design, with the top scale showing the power output in both Watts and decibels, while the bottom scale shows the amplifier warmup time. When powered on, the meter starts to slowly rise; once it reaches 100%, it drops back down to zero and the amplifier is ready to play music. The MC3500 Mk II is both a thoroughly modern and thoroughly retro amplifier. It\'s inspired by the amplifier that helped inspire a generation. You can combine with a variety of preamplifiers, turntables, CD players, media streamers, speakers and other specialty products to form a complete home audio system. 1) Woodstock is a registered trademark of Woodstock Ventures LC. - [McIntosh MC312 2-CH Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-mc312-2-ch-amplifier/) - McIntosh MC312 2-CH Amplifier Scott Walker Audio is proud to be a McIntosh Platinum dealer.

Our 75 years of experience as the leader of sound reproduction has led us to the MC2.1KW. The pinnacle of audio amplification, the MC2.1KW stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to sonic perfection.This tri-chassis marvel possesses the remarkable ability to deliver an astonishing 2,000 Watts of pristine McIntosh power, forever transforming your home stereo or theater experience. At McIntosh, we don\'t just appreciate sound – we are made of sound. The MC2.1KW is the embodiment of our passion, and it invites you to embark on an extraordinary journey through sound.Available separately or as part of our Reference Music System and Reference Home Theater System, the MC2.1KW pairs seamlessly with our XRT2.1K Loudspeaker or its predecessor, the XRT2K. However, its versatility knows no bounds and it\'s not limited to just being used with McIntosh speakers but instead can be used with a wide variety of other speakers.It is ideally suited for audio systems that have power hungry loudspeakers; systems located in extremely large rooms; or for audio enthusiasts who simply demand the latest and best in state-of-the-art home audio amplification. SYMPHONY OF TECHNOLOGYThe MC2.1KW consists of three separate modules: one Output Module and two Power Modules that each contain a 1,000 Watt amplifier. The incoming audio signal enters the Output Module from the preamplifier. An in-phase signal is sent from the Output Module to one of the Power Modules and is amplified. At the same time, an out-of-phase signal is sent to the other Power Module and amplified.Both amplified signals exit the Power Modules and reenter the Output Module where they drive opposite ends of the bi-filar wound McIntosh Autoformer™. This combines the two audio signals back into one with the power summed while any noise is reduced or completely canceled. Through this artful engineering, a low distortion audio signal leaves the Output Module to deliver pristine sound through your speaker.Why are there three modules instead of one? There are two reasons. First is about practicality; each module weighs over 120 lbs (54 kg), so if it was just one module it would be very heavy (close to 400 lbs (181 kg)) and tough to move. With it being comprised of three modules, each is more manageable to move.Another reason has to do with the electrical wiring typically found inside homes. If the MC2.1KW was just one module, it would need to plug into a high voltage outlet (for example: the kind of outlet used by electric ranges in the United States). With it divided up into three modules, each can have a more common plug that works with the type of outlets commonly found in homes so that special wiring does not need to be installed inside your walls.The Output Module will have a dual anodized laser-engraved badge proudly displaying our 75th Anniversary logo on the top, while the handles on all three modules will have \"75 years\" engraved in them. These additions are sure to make every MC2.1KW built through 2024 a true collector\'s item for McIntosh enthusiasts. FULL POWER WITH NO SACRIFICESThanks to our hand wound Autoformer, the full 2,000 Watts of power can be delivered into a speaker regardless if its impedance is 2, 4 or 8 Ohms. This means you won\'t need to sacrifice any power if your speaker impedance doesn\'t match the amplifier\'s output impedance. That\'s because amplifiers from most other brands only have one output impedance and if that doesn\'t match your speaker\'s impedance, then you could sacrifice up to half of the amplifier\'s power capabilities. This will not happen with our Autoformer and its unique ability to output full power at three separate impedances. A SONIC LEAP FORWARDThe MC2.1KW succeeds the MC2KW, which rocked the Las Vegas convention hall – and the entire audio world – when it was introduced at the 2005 CES Show. The next generation MC2.1KW offers many sonic upgrades. Chief among them are substantially larger filter capacitors that improve the performance of low end frequencies as well as significantly improving dynamic headroom. These eight larger capacitors are located in the Power Modules behind the custom Power Bank that is visible through the front panel glass. Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short; the posts are gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is sent over your speaker cables. There are dedicated binding posts for 2, 4 and 8 Ohm impedances, with the connectors for each impedance rating located on a separate output platform on the back of the Output Module. Each output platform also has three sets of identical binding posts to facilitate bi- or tri-wiring your loudspeaker. Four of our McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ are found on each Power Module. Made from high quality materials with excellent thermal conductivity properties and connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate thermal equilibrium lag time, these heatsinks maintain efficient heat dissipation, ensuring consistent audio quality from the first note to the last.Other upgrades include enhanced circuit designs with modern components and shorter signal paths; updated electrical wiring; bayonet IP68 rated interconnect cables that connect the three modules together; and direct LED front panel lighting. DUAL INPUTS FOR ADVANCED SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONSNew on the MC2.1KW are dual sets of balanced and unbalanced inputs, conveniently allowing you to connect more than one preamplifier. This gives you the ability to easily switch between vacuum tube and solid state signals, such as from our reference level C12000 Solid State and Vacuum Tube Preamplifier that has outputs for both signal types, or from separate vacuum tube and solid state preamplifiers. Or use the second set of inputs to connect two preamplifiers of the same type, the choice is yours.The dual inputs on the MC2.1KW give you added system flexibility and lets you use the signal type of your choice depending on the type of music you\'re listening to and your listening preferences. TRUSTED MCINTOSH TECHNOLOGIESOur exclusive McIntosh technologies ensure your investment is protected and your experience flawless.Power Guard® monitors the audio input signal coming into the amplifier and if it detects the amplifier will be overdriven, makes real time, near speed of light adjustments to prevent harsh sounding and potentially speaker damaging clipping. These adjustments are imperceptible to your ear so there is no degradation to sound quality.Sentry Monitor™ is our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal.Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal.Power Control to send power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components (such as CD Players, turntables, tuners, and media streamers) for easy system power up and shutdown.

The MC1502 Vacuum Tube Amplifier is a stereo amplifier designed for home audio and home music systems that produces 150 Watts per channel. It is the direct replacement to our award winning MC2152 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Vacuum Tube Amplifier, which was released in celebration of our 70th Anniversary that occurred in 2019.The new MC1502 has identical audio specifications and sound reproduction performance of the heralded MC2152 but in a more customary McIntosh design.The MC1502 shares the timeless styling of our classic MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier. As the MC1502 has twice the stereo power rating of the MC275 (150 Watts vs. 75 Watts) and is physically larger, in many ways it can be considered the MC275\'s big brother. And while a pair of MC275s can be run in mono to achieve the 150 Watts per channel output of the MC1502, the MC1502 boasts a better signal-to-noise ratio of 112dB vs. 105dB for the MC275 pairing – producing an even quieter performance than the already quiet MC275.The MC1502 is powered by eight KT88 output vacuum tubes, with four assigned to each stereo channel. It also has eight small signal tubes, consisting of four 12AX7A and four 12AT7 vacuum tubes; two of each of these vacuum tubes are dedicated to each audio channel. The 12AX7A vacuum tubes are for the Balanced and Input amps, while the 12AT7 tubes are for the Voltage and Driver amps. All the vacuum tubes are covered by a 12-gauge stainless steel wire cage with a black powder coated finish.The KT88 vacuum tube sockets include Air-Pipe cooling at their bases to help facilitate long service life. The eight signal tube sockets have ceramic base construction with gold plated contacts, providing protection from atmospheric contamination. All the vacuum tubes sit atop the precision formed stainless steel chassis polished to a mirror finish. Our Sentry Monitor™ technology monitors the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits; the signal tubes will flash red if Sentry Monitor is ever activated.Unlike many other amplifiers, the MC1502\'s full 150 Watts can be delivered to almost any pair of speakers regardless if they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance. This is thanks to our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer technology – the same technology McIntosh was founded on in 1949. Two Unity Coupled Circuit output transformers flank the power transformer which is positioned between them.Each transformer is housed in a glass topped extruded enclosure that displays the wiring diagram for each transformer. Two fully spelled out vintage die cast aluminum name badges adorn two sides of the MC1502, while an abbreviated badge is centered between the Tube Lights and Power knobs.Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are included to connect the MC1502 to your preamplifier and the rest of your home audio system. Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts will securely connect your speaker cables to your speakers. An input and output for our Power Control technology allows other connected McIntosh components, such as preamplifiers, CD players, turntables, or media steamers, to automatically turn on and off. - [McIntosh MC1.25KW 1-CH Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-mc125kw-amplifier/) - McIntosh MC1.25KW 1-CH Amplifier*NEW* - 2024 75th Anniversary Edition Available Scott Walker Audio is proud to be a McIntosh Platinum dealer.

Electa Amator III and Minima Amator II were born from this awareness and together they give life to the Sonus faber Heritage collection, in which we collected our intangible values, our tradition and our Italian expertise. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOAL: THE NATURAL SOUNDThe natural evolution of today’s Sonus faber, is enclosed in this new creation. Minima Amator II is the restatement of a fundamental product first introduced in 1992 when the company was establishing key principles that would go on to guide future productions: accurate design and high-quality materials, combined to obtain a sound reproduction as natural as possible. FEATURESA combination of a vintage design with a brand-new electroacoustic projectthat features the most recent patents and technological solutions by Sonus faber. - [Maxima Amator](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/maxima-amator/) - Maxima AmatorTHE TWO-WAY DESIGN FOR SONUS FABERYouTube - Maxima Amator The two-way design has been a strong piece of brand identity for Sonus faber products. In general, hi-fi enthusiasts deem the two-way loudspeaker system as one of the purest systems achievable. For this reason, the Maxima Amator was a fun project for us, serving as the glorification of successfully merging two speakers to achieve a unique emotion with the maximum representation of the ``Voice of Sonus faber” – a goal to achieve natural sound. HEART AND BRAINThe solid wood is a living material that continuously changes over time. Due to this, the Maxima Amator’s large cabinet had to be meticulously studied and fine-tuned to avoid the risk of deformation or breakage as the wood ages.Sonus faber was able to overcome this limit thanks to modern wood drying methods, use of internal structural ribs fixed with flexible glues, and new CNC methods that allow us to maintain a tighter tolerance compared to that of the past.After the cabinet’s studies and the drivers’ selection, we focused on defining the perfect tonal balance of the project. The result is the IFF Crossover “Interactive Fusion Filtering” the perfect sonic performance beyond our proven classic implementations. This is the heart and the brain of Maxima Amator that allows us to obtain a total fusion of the two drivers for an extremely natural and fluid sound reproduction. FEATURESThe final step of the long design process of Maxima Amator was, as always,the “tuning by ear”. Beside the technique, the R&D team relied on the listening experienceand the emotions of Music, because Sonus faber is made of this: passion for knowledge,appreciation of beauty and commitment to Italian tradition and craftsmanship. - [IL Cremonese Extreme](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/il-cremonese-extreme/) - IL Cremonese ExtremeFUSION By mainly working around the behavior of both the top and bottom ends of the audio spectrum it was possible to extract a performance, avoiding any sort of interpretation, of the musical message so that Il Cremonese ex3me could even be used as an extremely high-performance professional studio monitor. The new loudspeaker system came to life by the fusion of elements belonging to the original project, such as midrange and woofers, with the most iconic solution derived from the company\'s 30th Anniversary celebration concept speaker model, Ex3ma. BERYLLIUM DLCFrom Ex3ma, Il Cremonese ex3me inherits the Beryllium DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) tweeter. Sonus faber set aside its classic silk diaphragm Damped Apex Dome™ tweeter to approach this transducer construction. Brilliant in terms of transparency and micro- dynamics, the Beryllium tweeter diaphragm has formidable physical characteristics but it has a sound presentation often described as a “metallic flavor” which can often make listening unpleasant.To mitigate this typical Beryllium characteristic we used a treatment called “Chemical Vapor Deposition“. A layer of D.L.C. is deposited on the diaphragm surface, turning it black and giving the Beryllium some of the typical properties of diamond— the most important being its amorphous nature and unmatched strength.As a result, the new diaphragm is increasingly rigid with a nearly imperceivable higher resonant frequency, making it capable of extremely fast sound, very detailed and airy – free of coloration. FEATURESIl Cremonese ex3me is a unique loudspeaker systemcharacterized by new technical features and bya precise performance target: absolute neutrality. - [IL Cremonese](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/il-cremonese/) - IL CremoneseTHE STRADIVARI\'S VIOLIN Inspired by the shape of Lilium, Il Cremonese is a tribute to the most famous creation of Antonio Stradivari. Its five non-parallel walls structure and the sides applied on the enclosure, requires a careful processing techniques, as for a musical instrument: from the wood bending and shaping, to the treatments of the precious Avional surfaces. THE ORETICAL PERFECTIONThis is what we have in mind in designing the “acoustic environment” of each single transducer. Each volume is insulated with different materials from open cell thermoplastic foam to fibrous materials, similar to the felt used in pianos. The most appropriate material or materials are selected for each specific application. FEATURESThis atypical Sonus faber form represents an evolution towards technologicaland visual innovation, simultaneously maintaining the historic milestonesthat marked the history of violin making, as well as the history of the Sonus faber brand itself. - [Gravis III](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/gravis-iii/) - Gravis III SubwooferBLAST FROM THE PAST Sonus faber is not new to the arena of subwoofer design and engineering.

Bass notes gain authority and articulation, while treble extends with airy precision, unveiling musical details that were previously obscured.With the Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch Mk II, we set another new standard for networked audio.At the heart of the Mk II are our next-generation Electromagnetic Cells (EM Cells), the first reengineering of their technology since we sought our original patent. Initially developed for our PowerCell SRX to address both power and signal clarity in the digital domain, they selectively filter high-frequency noise from incoming AC power and the digital signal path, eliminating electromagnetic interference (EMI) and switching noise that can degrade audio quality.This results in a significantly lower noise floor compared to our original UEF Ethernet Switch. Ultra Low Frequency BiasingShape the StageA critical advancement in the Mk II is introducing our ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) Biasing system, a feature absent in the first-generation model. This groundbreaking technology replaces high-frequency noise with harmonics of the Earth’s Schumann Resonance, which pass through the EM Cells unaltered.Unlike our previous switch, which focused solely on first order noise reduction, the Mk II enhances system musicality through this ULF Biasing. Linear Power SupplyStrong and SilentThe Mk II also incorporates our latest linear power supply (LPS) technology, refined during the development of the Voodoo server. This advanced LPS optimizes the DC bias for the EM Cells and the switch itself, unlocking performance levels unattainable from the first-gen UEF Switch.The result is cleaner power delivery and more stable, jitter-free data transmission, even under peak network loads. - [Magico A5](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/magico-a5/) - Magico A5YouTube - Magico A5 Demo The new A5 is a flagship A-Series model (3 way / 5 driver design) which incorporates the company’s first 5-inch pure midrange driver as well as enhanced midrange and bass driver cone technology.

You will hear deep, authoritative yet articulate bass. You will hear fine detail and depth. Acora loudspeakers will reveal many things you simply haven’t heard before. What you won’t hear is the enclosure. Acora Acoustics loudspeakers are constructed using handcrafted, specially treated, natural granite enclosures. The rigidity of granite far exceeds that of traditional particle board or wood enclosures. One of the benefits of this is, as the SRC-2’s drivers move to push air / create sound, the enclosure isn’t absorbing this energy, dulling or smearing the sound.Another benefit of the Acora enclosure is that it does not need internal bracing to “stiffen” the enclosure. This means that internal cross bracing is not required. No internal bracing means no additional reflections inside the enclosure that will vibrate the low frequency drivers.The SRC-2 utilizes world-class drivers and a hand-built crossover network, however the real secret to the Acora Sound, is that you only hear these, not the enclosure. DRIVERS The SRC series is built around a carefully selected and expertly refined driver set, each one modified and perfected by Acora to meet our exacting standards — not just for precision, but for musicality.

We asked: what if the cabinet didn’t hold the speaker back, but set it free? That question led us to stone — a material as timeless as music itself. Our precision-crafted stone enclosures eliminate resonance and distortion, allowing every note to emerge with stunning clarity and purity. Why Stone? At Acora, performance has always come first. Our pursuit of the most faithful, uncolored reproduction of music led us to take a deep look at a critical — yet often overlooked — factor: cabinet resonance. For decades, wood has been the material of choice for speaker enclosures, used by the vast majority of high-end audio brands.But even with the most advanced construction techniques, we found that wood simply couldn\'t escape its nature — it always added something to the sound. A subtle coloration. A soft veil over the truth.We looked further. Aluminum, composites, exotic materials — each with their strengths, but none quite delivering the neutrality and control we demanded. Then we found our answer: natural stone. Stone offered everything we were searching for: 1. Virtually no interaction with the energy from the speaker cones — letting the drivers speak freely.2. High mass, providing rock-solid stability, enhancing soundstage depth and stereo focus.3. Unique, bespoke character — no two pieces are alike, making every speaker truly one of a kind.4. Timeless aesthetic that brings elegance into any home. Tweeter A carefully selected soft dome tweeter, voiced for smooth, extended highs, integrates effortlessly with the system.

Listening notes taken during the development process listed deeper and tighter bass, so much so we were forced to turn down both of subwoofers in our reference system.Other improvements noted was a significant increase in soundstaging and most shocking, increased air and transparency in the high frequencies as well as a more fleshed out mid-range. To make this possible, current SR Technologies were applied, including a new two-stage high voltage treatment process first developed for our World’s Reference Galileo SX cables and our latest Tricon Silver Matrix geometry with Teflon dialectrics.In short, these new REL Spec cables should be at the top of the list to audition for anyone with REL Subwoofers wanting to get maximum performance not only in the lower registers but a complete upgrade to the sound of your system. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneMatrix ShieldingThe previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor.Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom\'s ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality. Quantum TunnelingSRX Long Duration High Voltage ConditioningAfter perfecting the most natural-sounding and holographic cables in our history, we set out to take them further with a new high voltage conditioning process that applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix.We even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol. - [REL Acoustics Airship II Wireless](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rel-acoustics-airship-ii-wireless/) - REL Acoustics Airship II Wireless Airship II elevates REL\'s reputation for edge of the art wireless connection in the audio industry to new heights.

We turned a fresh eye to power requirements, driver improvements, and specialty filters, upgrading each-to extract all the extra performance possible.All this alongside the cabinet refinements necessary for those upgrades to emerge cleanly. This latest S range is a triumphant development that has exceeded every expectation of our design team.Our requirements were for far stronger deep bass output between 20-35 Hz, vastly improved theatre dynamics, and an even more open and spacious soundfield which benefits both music and film. We turned to our NextGen 3 amplifier, tuned to 500 watts with substantial reserves of power, added a light film of carbon fibre to the rear of the driver to handle the extra power, and developed two new sets of custom filters to extract the utmost in brute force and spaciousness.Finally, we imbued S/510 with the ability to be stacked in 4- or 6-unit line arrays, just like our reference models. Stacked for Ultimate PerformanceIn the real world, bass occurs with width, depth and height. By stacking up to three units per side (stereo or theatre main L-R speakers) the proper perspective and height of sonic events are illuminated. This elevates reproduction from conventional stereo or theatre to a floor to ceiling panoramic, full scale perspective of each sonic event. Reviewers are lining up to marvel at the transformation of music and film into the full-scale representation that REL Line Arrays uniquely deliver. Compact PackageS/510 takes REL’s compact-medium chassis concept to reference-like levels of performance and does so with style, power and incredible speed. S/510 allows those with less space, or when pairing with high end speakers that are slightly less robust to have a perfect dance partnerwhen the S/812 is simply too much of a great thing.For S/510, every aspect of the previous generation’s inner workings were examined without regard to its critical and customer-driven success.

Invisibly UpgradedS/510 required upgrades to its ContinuousCast™ Alloy Cone to allow it to survive its massive power upgrades. To permit its thin, aluminum cone to survive 500 watts and incredibly long stroke, we added an ultra-lightweight backing of pure carbon fibre strategically placed over portions of the rear surface of the cone.This produces two benefits; it strengthens and stiffens the cone and also eliminates reversion, wherein the back-wave inside the cabinet is now prevented from interfering with the main launch of bass into the room. The result is more accurate and far louder deep bass. 500 Watt Mono-block WithinAt 500 watts the NextGen 3 amplifier is borrowed from our former flagship model and produces huge reservoirs of power and current. The 20%+ increase in power (previous version was 400 watts) is needed to deliver the high output levels needed for modern theatre, as well as to produce the extremely deep bass in a high end 2-channel system.This increase in power is necessitated by our development on the musical front of an all-new circuit termed PerfectFilter™ that balance both frequency extremes.PerfectFilter performs two seemingly disparate qualities; extending the strong, even response of the extreme low end of bass frequencies while simultaneously opening up air and delicacy in the middle and high frequencies of one’s system.

Hierarchically, it positions itself above the Extreme. It does provide quite a different music experience than the Extreme, or any other server I\'ve heard for that matter. Conventional audiophile descriptions as sound staging, dynamics, color palette, etc, fall short to describe this difference. It does not sound digital or analog, it\'s best to describe it as coming closer to the intended (or unintended) performance of the recording engineerWith Olympus, we are introducing the culmination of close to 4 years of research and development. As a bona fide IT/tech nerd with a passion for music, our fearless leader Emile has always been intrigued by the potential of leveraging the most modern of technologies in order to create a better music playback experience.This led to the creation of our popular Extreme music server 5 years ago which we have been steadily improving and updating with new technologies over the course of its life cycle. Even to this day, we feel confident in claiming it\'s holding its ground against the onslaught of new server releases from other companies, and we are committed to improving it for years to come.There are many technological advanced innovations in the Olympus, and describing them all will take time and will make this introduction piece hard to digest. In essence, Olympus embodies the practical implementation of both the BPS (Battery Power Supply) and the new interface XDMI (Extreme Direct Music Interface), formerly announced as TACDA/TACDD, but renamed to XDMI as it bears similarities with our XDMS (Extreme Direct Music Server) software project, being a more direct, or purist if you will, approach to processing \"bits\".We have eliminated a large number of intermediate processing steps and conversions, in both hardware and software, for a more direct, more streamlined, more purist \"signal path\".Read More - [Audio Research Reference 10 Preamplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/audio-research-reference-10-preamplifier/) - Audio Research Reference 10 PreamplifierOur Ultimate Preamplifier Audio Research has made history with industry-landmark preamplifier designs such as the SP3 in 1973, and again in 2010 with the Reference Anniversary preamplifier. In particular, The Reference Anniversary was a special limited-edition product commemorating our 40th year.At the time, it was acclaimed by many as the finest preamplifier available and a fitting tribute to all the classic Audio Research products that were introduced since the company’s birth. We were met with disbelief that we would only accept orders for this special product during the anniversary year, yet we considered the limited time frame appropriate.But in the years that followed, research and advancement inexorably reached further. The result is the best preamplifier Audio Research has yet devised, the Reference 10 line stage. Dual Mono TopologyREF10 accesses power via a single 20A power cord. After that, it is completely dual-mono from the power supply through the audio circuit. There are dual, separate low- and high-voltage transformers for each channel; there is dual-mono vacuum-tube regulation (one 6H30 and one 6550 per channel), dual-mono audio circuits (four 6H30 per channel), and enough energy storage for a serious power amplifier.Key Audio Research design traits remain: The signal path is fully discrete, all-tube, pure Class-A, with zero feedback. Other attributes and choices remain, too: Each unit is completely hand-soldered and hand-constructed in our Minnesota facility using the finest materials, with major components such as custom transformers, plated-through circuit boards, and casework sourced locally. All engineering is performed in-house.Experience the life-sized scale offered by our statement preamplifier. REF10 unleashes the full dimension and natural weight of recordings both large and small in scope. The deepest sub-bass is fully rendered, whether from the lowest instruments or architectural queues from the building in the recording itself.Never pushed or overblown, the ease of the largest ensembles thunders and rolls through your room as heard live. The inner-most timbre and grain structure of voices and instruments build upon this with a level of quietness, authenticity, and polish that must be heard to be believed.Even tiny spatial queues specific to each recording venue are beautifully resolved. Such a rich signal is what amplifiers hunger for to be at their very best. There is no substitute. The Power SupplyThe power supply chassis, connected to the main unit via two umbilical cords, simply has one green LED under its offset Audio Research logo.All of the side panels are finished identically to the front panels: Natural anodized, one quarter-inch thick, with no screws visible. The entire chassis (including rear panel) is painted silver to complete the look. There are beautiful clear acrylic covers with a revised perforation pattern. Simply Stunning PerformanceJust as the Reference Anniversary was shockingly better than its predecessors, the Reference 10 offers a further level of resolution, refinement and dynamism that vividly improve the musical experience in every way. As we have said before, words can only fall short of your own experience; to understand how much more profound listening to your favorite recordings can be, you must hear the Reference 10. - [Audio Research LS-3 Preamplifier ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/audio-research-ls-3-preamplifier/) - Audio Research LS-3 Preamplifier The LS-3 is a solid state preamplifier that closely mirrors the Audio Research sound that our customers have grown to love and expect in our 50 plus years of high end audio component production.With a modern touchscreen interface, optional phono and dac cards, and attractive price, the LS-3 is poised to take it\'s rightful place as a complete preamplifier in your audio system.

Umbilicals are also available to connect your four or six-pack of REL subs. See specifications page for pricing. Atmosphere SX REL Spec cables are a surprise breakthrough, much like SR power cords with a fantastic ability to improve nearly all aspects of system performance. Listening notes taken during the development process listed deeper and tighter bass, so much so we were forced to turn down both of subwoofers in our reference system. Other improvements noted was a significant increase in sound-staging and most shocking, increased air and transparency in the high frequencies as well as a more fleshed out mid-range.To make this possible, all current SR Technologies are applied, including a new two-stage high voltage treatment process first developed for our World’s Reference Galileo SX cables and Atmosphere SX Tuning Modules, used to voice your cable to your system and personal preference.Also present are pure, handmade silver Air String Geometries and our latest Tricon Silver Matrix geometry with Teflon dielectrics. To improve upon the Atmosphere SX Reference Rel Spec even further, connect the attached shield ground to a Synergistic Research Ground Block. In short, these new REL Spec cables should be at the top of the list to audition for anyone with REL Subwoofers wanting to get maximum performance not only in the lower registers but a complete upgrade to the sound of your system. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneMatrix ShieldingThe previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor.Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom\'s ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality. Quantum TunnelingSRX Long Duration High Voltage ConditioningAfter perfecting the most natural-sounding and holographic cables in our history, we set out to take them further with a new high voltage conditioning process that applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix.We even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol. - [Synergistic Research Foundation SX REL Spec Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-foundation-sx-rel-spec-cable/) - Synergistic Research Foundation SX REL Spec Cable The SR REL spec cable has all of the technology and SR treatments found in the standard Foundation SX subwoofer cable, but has REL specific terminations, making it the perfect plug-n-play cable upgrade for your REL subwoofer.

A Comprehensive Redesign of Our Patented EM CellOur Electromagnetic Cells are the foundational building block responsible for line conditioning. While previous upgrades to the PowerCell brought forth improvements, the advancement has not been as revolutionary as it is today because we’ve fundamentally rethought the construction of the EM cell versus continuing to refine it:A comprehensive redesign of the EM cell, inherited from our forthcoming flagship SRX PowerCell, more efficiently filters out contaminants to the signal, resulting in a lower noise floor and better dynamics.The overall surface area of the cell as gone up 100x from previous generations to deliver a significant increase in electromagnetic conditioning.Doubling its function as a super-capacitor, the amount of available energy has gone up 100x, enabling even the most power-hungry amplifiers to sound more dynamic with better leading-edge transients plugged into the PowerCell than plugging it straight to the wall.The end result enables more information to pass through in both a smoother and more holographic and accurate sound field than previous generation PowerCells. Re-engineered ULF and DC BiasingULF, in its most basic principle, is how we ‘reclock’ our music to the Schumann Resonance by passively addressing and filtering out ambient RF and extreme high frequency noise that would otherwise degrade sound. The PowerCell 14 utilizes the Galileo SX PowerCell’s power supply and ULF Field Generator and improves upon it in the following ways:We implement a reformulated Ultra Low-Frequency RF bias captured from learnings gleaned from our SRX PowerCell and Voodoo streamer/server development programs.The nature of how we bias ULF has dramatically changed.The way we integrate both ULF and DC into EM cells has also changed.The power supply that generates the DC bias to EM cells has been radically evolved.New 24k Gold UEF tuning circuits bring harmonic richness and enhanced musicality.With these advancements, SR is now able to precisely control the phase points between the frequencies used for bias. When selecting between the two biases on the PC14, they reflect SR’s most current understanding of ULF treatment and will deliver a more favorable, welcoming response to your music. Three frequency bias, one perfect soundBlue (Default): This option offers a laid-back midrange with a linear transition of notes from low frequencies to midrange to highs, creating a large and enveloping sound stage.Green: The midrange is slightly more forward compared to the Blue option, with a bit more bass emphasis.Red: Convincingly portray large-scale performances and electronic music. Grounding, ElevatedThe internal power supply and ULF Generator included in the PowerCell 14 are further enhanced with a UEF Ground Plane first developed for the Galileo SX PowerCell to lower the noise floor and increase sound-staging. And to take this performance to a higher level still there is the option to ground the PowerCell 14 to one of our Active Ground Blocks which improves low-frequency weight and attack as it lowers the noise floor further still without sacrificing one of the duplexes, so you have the full 14 outlets to filter all components in your system without loss of current. Form Elevates FunctionThe PowerCell 14 chassis is mechanically and electromagnetically voiced. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, carbon fiber and plexiglass, its design strategically dampens and directs mechanical resonance from the ambient environment, the energy created by your speakers and how that feeds back into the circuit, and the vibrations generated by the transformers in the unit.The material makeup, physical size, and windows into the unit optimize the efficiency and directivity of the electromagnetic fields generated by the EM cells to bring sound as close to life as possible. - [Crystal Cable DaVinci Power Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/crystal-cable-davinci-power-cable/) - Crystal Cable DaVinci Power CableDesign The Art Series cables are unique in the high-end cable world.

Rear Sound-field CreationAlbert Von Schweikert\'s earliest research led to the development of an adjustable ambiance retrieval system radiating from the speaker\'s rear to recreate a natural sound-field of space & depth using a concert hall recording method known as the spaced omni method. Drivers & CrossoversFor our midrange and bass drivers (exclusive of the sub-bass drivers found in our ULTRA.nine, ULTRA.eleven, and SHOCKWAVE subwoofer series), Von Schweikert has selected Accuton of Germany’s drivers manufactured using ceramic cones. Producing drivers made from Al²O³ hard ceramics offers an incredibly light, stiff cone with high internal damping. For the highest frequencies, we have selected the best Danish beryllium tweeters. Our chosen beryllium tweeter is extremely stiff and light. It has high power handling, exceptional detail, and superb dispersion across its usable range. While many associate beryllium tweeters with a certain sterile sound, by correctly applying our proprietary crossover network topology to this remarkable driver, the opposite is true. Custom Cabinet FinishingBeauty and artistry is a fundamental element of the Von Schweikert listening experience. Fausto Reyes is responsible for the finish of every speaker that leaves our factory. Fausto and his team painstakingly labor by hand to apply our brilliant multi-coat finishes. While we regularly apply automotive inspired paint colors, Fausto’s process is different.The reason for this is before joining Von Schweikert, Fausto led the pro division of Fender Guitar where he oversaw the painting of custom guitar finishes for some of the most notable musicians and wealthiest collectors in the world— Prince and Aerosmith to name just a few.Click here for more details - [Arya Audio Labs RevOpod Mini](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/arya-audio-labs-revopod-mini/) - Arya Audio Labs RevOpod MiniSmall footprint - High performance Whenever space is limited, RevOpod Mini is the perfect solution to decouple your audio gear from unwanted vibrations. Its sleek and compact design allows for an easy integration without compromising performance. Miniature Pot-bearing RevOpod Mini employs a miniaturized pot-bearing that is based on the same ground-breaking approach as its bigger brother - The RevOpod. It was developed by leading researchers from the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research in the UK and utilizes specially formulated elastomer elements, which are confined in a short cylinder and become significantly more compliant under loading, thereby providing effective vibration isolation. - [REL Acoustics](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rel-acoustics-2/) - [REL Acoustics No.32 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rel-acoustics-no-32-subwoofer/) - REL Acoustics No.32 Reference SubwooferEdge Of The Art Design No.32 represents the sum of our efforts, research, and knowledge gained over the past three decades as a leader in audio and subwoofers. Nothing we have built competes with the speed, agility, absence of texture, and vivid dynamic contrasts delivered by No.32. It represents the pinnacle of REL’s considerable experience and is our standard for future innovation.A remarkable sonic achievement, it transcends its illustrious forebear, which was named Product of the Decade just a few years ago. It is 1,000 watts, has a 15”(380 mm) pure carbon fibre driver, and has exquisite cabinetry requiring three weeks of labour to complete. However, each of these features only hints at what it takes to reside at the top of REL’s offerings, and No.32 is poised to be a design for the ages. The Utterly Reliable Beast No.32’s NextGen 7 Class D 1,000 watt amplifier was also used in its predecessor for over seven years. Thousands of these amplifiers are in use all over the world; they are a paragon of reliability. Its implementation in No.32 combines a new limiter with a much wider envelope to permit the widest dynamic swings possible.Also, No.32’s dual parametric EQs allow for robust and flat response in the lowest ranges, extending below 20 Hz. When its second EQ is set to frequencies above the crossover point, No.32 meshes perfectly with the main speakers while simultaneously reducing room-based resonances. Drive On As with all RELs, No. 32’s heart and soul is its 15” (380mm) driver. The driver’s cone is constructed entirely of carbon fibre. Additionally, a carbon fibre centre cap is overlaid on the primary cone surface. This cone design results in a far stiffer driver that possesses superior self-damping qualities, removing even minor resonances that can obscure detail retrieval whilst keeping moving mass to an absolute minimum.No.32’s driver suspension permits a full 4” (100mm) of travel fore and aft, an enormous amount of travel for such a large driver. These are some of the secrets to its performance. Transparency, allied to tremendous dynamics, is the result. A Remote Like No OtherTake control of your No.32 by grasping the REL Reference Remote Control. Immediately, you will be struck by the perfect fit in your palm, the result of careful thought and numerous generations of trial-and-error fittings during prototype development. The second reaction to it is the awareness of its mass, which conveys its quality, permanence, and immutability.It tells you, “I am a thing of substance, of quality. Pay attention, what you do next matters.” If you have owned a REL in the past (and fully 90% of Rel Reference owners are), all the familiar controls are right at hand, exactly where you’d want them. High (or low if using active speakers) level gain sits comfortably to the right side, the crossover rests in the middle, and .1/LFE gain is off to the left.Below are three lovely metal toggle switches handle the critical setup functions. The remote’s on/off switch is at the bottom. It is both as out of the way as possible and remains on once turned on and in use during setup without being accidentally turned off. In the middle sits the phase control.This is used only initially to determine the correct 0 or 180 degrees of phase. Additionally, the top access to the Dual Parametric EQ-marked with A and B—permits the flattest, deepest bass and, at the other end of the bass frequencies, the fine-tuning of crossover behavior. This gives you the perfect blending of subwoofer to main speakers and any vestiges of room-generated boom and resonance can be gently trimmed away.REL’s Reference Remote reminds you of the perfect butler—always immaculate, indispensable when called upon, then quietly set aside until a future time when perhaps additions or further improvements to one’s system further require its services. Beautiful Form Follows Functional Perfection It is often said that form follows function. If that is true, what a lovely function we are following. The cabinet traces a curvilinear path established over a decade ago on the original Gibraltar. Here, the top surface tumbles down at the rear corners – a difficult treatment to execute, but one that produces a uniquely beautiful effect.Triple-plated steel handles are inset into ellipses that allow for a secure grip, which is necessary when lifting an object over 200 pounds. Inside, the rear backing plate is well over half an inch thick and contoured to follow the inner surface, yielding a massively strong structure.No.32’s new badge treatment combines the materials that appear most frequently within its design; the carbon fibre used throughout the driver is inset within a polished, cast alloy basket that is finished in 3 layers of plating to achieve a jewel-like sparkle. The overall design speaks to the remarkable efforts that went into ensuring No.32 is as striking visually as it is technically. Arrayed For Battle No.32 permits the same vertically stacked line array as the ultimate No.31. It delivers transformative performance that no competitor has been able to. For those who have been seeking the ultimate musical and theatre experience, Line Arrays unlock the final dimension of system reproduction. Audiophiles have chased three-dimensional sound for years, yet they have missed the simple fact that the height—not the depth—of image is the missing link.By creating products that are designed to be stacked 3 (or in exceptionally tall rooms, 5) units high while retaining individual crossover and gain control of each subwoofer in the array, REL has created a masterpiece that finally delivers what the most experienced audiophiles have been chasing for the past 40 years. - [REL Acoustics](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rel-acoustics/) - [Arya Audio Labs RevOpods](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/arya-audio-labs-2/) - [Arya Audio Labs](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/arya-audio-labs/) - [Synergistic Research Pink Duplex](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-pink-duplex/) - Synergistic Research Pink DuplexPink Powers Precision While drawing from the same advanced materials and conditioning processes as our Pink Fuse, the Pink Duplex offers refined improvements over the Purple Duplex in sonic clarity, dynamic range, and musical detail.

Featuring our largest array of our most effective Electromagnetic Cells, point-to-point wiring with 6N pure silver, our latest ULF generators and more, the SRX PowerCell is the culmination of our development of PowerCells over the last 15 years, re-engineered take your system to even greater heights with regards to effortless dynamics, engagement, and realism. A Massive Electromagnetic SledgehammerThe SRX PowerCell delivers a significant increase in electromagnetic conditioning even when compared to the new PowerCell 14. In comparison, the SRX PowerCell’s Electromagnetic Cells, which are the foundational building blocks responsible for line conditioning, are five times larger than those of the PowerCell 14 and boast about 20 times the conditioning surface area of the PowerCell SX!A comprehensive from-the-ground-up redesign of our new EM cell more efficiently filters out contaminants to the signal, resulting in a lower noise floor and better dynamics.Doubling its function as a super-capacitor, the EM Cells in the SRX PowerCell store a massive amount of electrical energy and delivers peak current that surpasses 20A wall circuit, enabling even the most power-hungry amplifiers to sound more dynamic with better leading-edge transients plugged into it.A total of 16 of these immense EM Cells are provided across three separate, isolated banks of of outlets, allowing for the most dedicated number of EM Cells to be available in any PowerCell ever released.SRX PowerCell is designed to deliver the cleanest, most impactful power to enable your system to sound better than you ever thought possible. Point to Point with Pure SilverTo ensure energy can be transferred between the internal components to surpass 20A peak current, each SRX PowerCell is assembled with point to point wiring consisting of an entire kilogram of pure 6N silver totaling a whopping 133 feet!Re-engineered ULF and DC BiasingULF, in its most basic principle, is how we ‘reclock’ our music to the Schumann Resonance by passively addressing and filtering out ambient RF and extreme high frequency noise that would otherwise degrade sound. The SRX PowerCell utilizes the Galileo SX PowerCell’s power supply and ULF Field Generator and improves upon it in the following ways:We implement a reformulated Ultra Low-Frequency RF bias captured from learnings gleaned from our SRX PowerCell and Voodoo streamer/server development programs.The nature of how we bias ULF has dramatically changed.The way we integrate both ULF and DC into EM cells has also changed.The power supply that generates the DC bias to EM cells has been radically evolved.New 24k Gold UEF tuning circuits bring harmonic richness and enhanced musicality.With these advancements, SR is now able to precisely control the phase points between the frequencies used for bias. When selecting between the two biases on the SRX PowerCell, they reflect SR’s most current understanding of ULF treatment and will deliver a more favorable, welcoming response to your music. Three Frequency Bias, One Perfect Sound. Blue (Default): This option offers a laid-back midrange with a linear transition of notes from low frequencies to midrange to highs, creating a large and enveloping sound stage.Green: The midrange is slightly more forward compared to the Blue option, with a bit more bass emphasis.Red: Convincingly portray large-scale performances and electronic music. Grounding, Elevated.The internal power supply and ULF Generator included in the SRX PowerCell are further enhanced with a UEF Ground Plane first developed for the Galileo SX PowerCell to lower the noise floor and increase sound-staging.And to take this performance to a higher level still there is the option to ground the SRX PowerCell to one of our Active Ground Blocks which improves low-frequency weight and attack as it lowers the noise floor further still without sacrificing one of the duplexes, so you have the full 14 outlets to filter all components in your system without loss of current.Power Your Whole SystemPink Quantum Outlets make its introduction into the SRX PowerCell, delivering a lower noise floor and improved detail while retaining natural warmth when compared to our Purple Quantum Outlets. Better yet, there are 20 Pink Outlets, separated into three isolated banks so you can optimally allocate your power distribution across the analog and digital sections of your entire system. Two 5v LPS USB outputs are also available to power FEQs, Atmospheres, or other accessories you may have.Form Elevates FunctionThe SRX PowerCell chassis is mechanically and electromagnetically voiced. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, carbon fiber and plexiglass, its design strategically dampens and directs mechanical resonance from the ambient environment, the energy created by your speakers and how that feeds back into the circuit, and the vibrations generated by the transformers in the unit. The material makeup, physical size, and windows into the unit optimize the efficiency and directivity of the electromagnetic fields generated by the EM cells to bring sound as close to life as possible.9 Lighting OptionsYou can even change the color and intensity of the light that illuminates both the front amp meter and a top circuit view window. Select between Galileo White, Synergistic Research Blue, Dante Red, and McIntosh Blue to match its lighting to the other components in your system. And if you prefer no light at all you can choose to be boring, it’s all up to you. - [Synergistic Research Black Box Carbon](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-black-box-carbon/) - Synergistic Research Black Box Carbon Over a decade ago, we introduced a transformative broad spectrum low-frequency resonator array called the Black Box that eliminates bass nodes and room modes while expanding your room’s ability to accurately portray low-frequency information and spatial content.Working from the principle that all frequencies in the audible bandwidth are linked through harmonics, the original Black Box balances low frequencies, mid-range, and high frequencies through a mathematically derived algorithm based on tuned sympathetic resonance. So when you get the phase correct at 20Hz for example, it clears up every multiple of 20Hz so, 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz and on.The immediately noticeable result of placing one or more Black Boxes in your room is first and foremost the removal of congestion, allowing for the music to travel and sound freer, while tightening and improving bass definition and performance, as well as improved detail retrieval to project more accurate image outlines across the frequency spectrum.The time has come for us to progress ahead, this time with the Black Box Carbon. Featuring significant improvements in mechanical resonance control of the chassis and resonator itself, placing a Black Box Carbon in your room will audibly deliver greater resolution, tighter, more textural bass, and a more natural presentation than ever before.Even better, the Black Box Carbon is now optimized for stacking and works well with additional Black Boxes for a more profound impact. Simply said, with the Black Box Carbon, congestion is eliminated, allowing for nothing but pure music to be headed your way. Updated Chassis & Resonator ArrayResonance, ControlledThe Black Box Carbon exhibits a new pinnacle of mechanical resonance control. We approached a redesign of the internal resonator arrays hand-in-hand with improvements to the chassis. Our research and exploration, inherited from chassis designs of our current components like the Voodoo music server / streamer and PowerCell 14 line conditioner, encouraged us to continue experimenting with the combination of carbon fiber and aluminum.In its final design, the more rigid chassis is effective at dissipating mechanical vibration and retaining purity of the sound waves that interact and are projected by the internal resonators. Based on those improvements, tuning refinements were made to the internal resonator design and UEF technology material construction.The result is both positive and significant, eliminating any ringing that may have previously hindered additional performance, while working even more effectively with room resonances and harmonic resonant frequencies. Bronze Contact InsertsPerformance, StackedPer the suggestion of one of our partners, we started listening to Black Boxes stacked on each other, and we witnessed greater, more positive impact. To continue along our leadership in resonance control, we designed metal contact inserts after listening to about a dozen different contact point materials. We found using bronze helped achieve the perfect balance of increased resolution and liquidity and the most realistic sonic representation.Not only can you stack Black Box Carbons, but we encourage you to stack an original Black Box on top of the Black Box Carbon. Both products compliment each other sonically, and if you already have one or more Black Box in your room, you’ll find you may not need to replace them with two Black Box Carbons to make a stack - a Black Box Carbon on the bottom and an original Black Box on top is nearly as effective! - [JMF Audio PCD 302 Power Filter](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/jmf-audio-pcd-302-power-filter/) - JMF Audio PCD 302 Power Filter The exclusive bi-directional and independent filtering principle featured in the PCD 302 and PCD 102 suppresses power line disturbances coming from the outside as well as interactions between audio components.

Caring for the music... JMF Audio had designed excellent preamplifiers in the past. However the new challenges for the reference JMF Audio preamplifier were extremely high:1. For sound quality the goal was to equal a fixed passive attenuator carefully designed by JMF Audio.2. For precision, left/right perfect symmetry, low glitch on changes, precisely defined steps had to be assured.3. For ease of use, remote control operation had to be possible.Point 1. was a test that none of the preamplifiers we tested passed successfully, as expected.Point 2. was easy to fulfill for integrated circuits based preamplifiers but rarely possible on the best sounding ones which volume control were based on resistor ladders or potentiometers. Resistor ladder units featured large glitches.Point 3. was not a problem for many preamplifiers but the best sounding ones were passive and not remote controllable though.The PRS 1.5 eventually saw the light. Not only it is the only preamplifier to successfully fulfill point 1, but it also surpasses by far this target ; mostly thanks to the hand calibrated input/output stages and impedance matching provided by JMF Audio\'s SSA Super Symmetrical Analog technology.The PRS1.5 is a dual mono, fully balanced design that embeds the innovative CSV volume control.> CSV is a fully passive volume control system based on a digitally controlled stepped attenuators.> CSV by concept features zero noise, zero distortion, zero phase shift, infinite headroom.> CSV is sealed and shielded in a machined block of aluminum.> CSV features a quadruple redundancy for an expected life time far superior to the best potentiometers.> CSV is input and output buffered in the PRS 1.5 by JMF Audio\'s SSA Super Symmetrical Analog technology.Complementing the major aspects, the details are of significant importance regarding the musical result: The PRS 1.5 has taken advantage of the result of the long researches of JMF Audio on the sound neutrality of passive components, semiconductors and materials, as described in the section about the power amplifiers. The PRS 1.5 pre-amplifier utilizes selected and uncommon components for audio applications: instrumentation semiconductors, bespoke passive components, selected and noble materials... After selection on technical aspects, refined selection on measurement, the final decision on absolutely all the audio components that the PRS 1.5 contains has been taken after long listening tests in the newly built JMF Audio\'s studio.The PRS 1.5 inherits of the JMF Audio\' power amplifiers innovative and still unrivaled hand calibrated precision input stage technology, enabling 100dB of common mode rejection of interferences carried by the input cables, this means more than 30 times better than found in professional balanced circuitry. This parameter having been enhanced by integrating psychoacoustic criteria. The proprietary DC coupling circuit allows a direct signal path (enhanced and improved with revision D). Un-balanced incoming signals automatically take advantage of the symmetrical structure right from the input. The same care has been taken for the output section for enhanced balancing precision. This defined JMF Audio\'s SSA Super Symmetrical Analog technology, possibly unique... A total of 8 adjustment points require manual calibration after a 100 hour burn-in period on each preamplifier.The preamplifier\'s mono audio boards feature metal case ultra low noise discrete components (military grade) and bespoke capacitors on the power supplies (starting from revision D). Every components and connectors on the audio path have been selected for their reliability and on listening for their natural sound characteristics.

This starts a new era—one built on twin foundations of innovation and experience. We began by reimagining the fundamentals of known DAC architectures from the ground up.Critical to the success of the Cascade DAC has been dividing the conversion process into three dedicated chassis and functions. First, all of the processing, sources, and interfaces that are necessary, but electrically noisy, have been concentrated in the Cascade Digital Director. Next, all of the critical low noise analog electronics have been housed in the Cascade Analog Converter.Finally, all of the analog power supplies have been moved to the dedicated Cascade Powerbase. This ideal component division enables sublime analog playback in nearly any system and listening environment. Let’s dive deeper into these building blocks to explore the industry leading technologies involved. Part 1: The Digital DirectorThe Digital Director is the brain of the Cascade system, handling all the digital processes. It acts as an intermediary between digital players, transports, renderers, servers, computers, and the analog domain. It is able to identify, configure and process nearly any digital format with advanced new algorithms for faithful reproduction.It features a low noise linear power supply, elegant user controls, and a high visibility discrete LED display, along with user installable digital input modules. It then outputs a conversion ready signal over the fully isolated optical Cascade-Link to the Cascade Analog Converter. This allows you to easily place the Digital Director anywhere in your system with the reassurance that the analog processes are free of digital interference. Part 2: The Analog ConverterIf the Digital Director is the brain behind the Cascade System, the Analog Converter is the beating heart. With 8 New Hybrid DAC MKII modules, a Femto 33 MKIII Clock, passive analog stages, and 75 ohm volume controls, the Analog Converter makes the music come alive. Freed from the burden of any brute force digital processing, the Analog Converter is supremely adapted for the task of meticulous analog conversion.Digital music flows over the noise free Cascade-Link directly to the hybrid DACs, while stunning analog performances are received by the integrated analog inputs. All formats are carefully converted to MSBs unique fully balanced, constant impedance analog format. This enables an optimal connection directly to your power amplifier. The Hybrid DAC MKIIA new generation of Hybrid DACs allow the Digital Director to extract the maximum resolution from all of your music files and from all data formats.

To this end, we use our propriety UEF Graphene shielding, now supercharged with UEF Tech first developed for our cost-no-object SRX cable loom. Next, we engineered a direct-to-ground shield for a lower noise floor than is possible with standard non-direct grounded shields that pass noise to component ground. And for the ultimate in resolution with musicality, we hit each cable with the SRX Long Duration High Voltage conditioning process. Additional features include a new conductor alloy and a new shielding matrix selected in double-blind testing, where they excelled in low-level detail retrieval and tonal accuracy, with a dramatic new level of high-frequency extension that is always musical and never fatiguing. UEF Matrix Shield with GrapheneMatrix Shielding The previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor.Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom\'s ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing.

Vibratron is a handmade multi-frequency resonator which anchors the focal point of your sound field to your listening room, expanding and clarifying your listening experience.Vibratron works by resonating in response to acoustic pressure created by your speakers. When excited, Vibratron radiates even-order harmonics in a 360-degree wave pattern in sympathy with the music, focusing and expanding the soundstage.Additionally, Vibratron improves your room’s acoustic response to music creating a more organic and musical sound. Acoustic instruments sound more natural with organic timbre and the entire vocal range sounds more present and three-dimensional. The adjustable acoustic resonators allow for bespoke results in almost every room regardless of speaker/component configurations. Simply secure each resonator, sit back and listen, then make incremental height adjustments until the focus and soundstage are optimized. Instructions are included.To get the most from Vibratron, it is highly recommended that you consult with either the factory or your dealer who will advise you on placement as well as other acoustic components, like our, HFT’s, Black Box and Atmosphere generator, that work synergistically together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. - [Tranquility Linear Power Supply EUF](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/tranquility-linear-power-supply-euf/) - Tranquility Linear Power Supply UEF When it comes to high-resolution audio, it starts at the wall, and after that, with each component’s power supply. So when we began development of the Limited Edition Galileo SX PowerCell for 2021, we started with a completely new regulated power supply based on our latest UEF Technology. First, we compared multiple transformers of differing construction and materials in double-blind listening tests, including C Core and Troidol transformers.Surprisingly we found the best toroidal transformers sounded spacially closed in when directly compared to the best C Core transformers. We then experimented with conditioning the transformer windings with the same Long Duration High Voltage conditioning process first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom. Next, we listened to multiple DC rectification options and capacitors all treated with our latest UEF technology until we perfected a power supply that transformed our state-of-the-art Galileo SX PowerCell line conditioner.So it was only natural that we develop a new power supply for our Tranquility Bases, Tranquility PODS and FEQ Carbon based on Galileo SX PowerCell technology. And to take performance further, we engineered a chassis machined from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum to act as a massive heatsink with a carbon fiber top to break up the mechanical resonance created by your stereo speakers.Includes 5ft Foundation 12awg AC cable, SR Pink Fuse, and (2) 1.25m DC leads.Dimensions - 2.6″h x 10″w x 6″dWeight - 6.2 lbs. - [Lyra Kleos](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-kleos/) - Lyra Kleos The Kleos is the lowest cost Lyra cartridge to feature the full fledged Ogura manufactured boron cantilever and coil system with Lyra original line-contact (3 x 70μm) stylus. This is similar to what is employed on even the most expensive Lyra models.Nevertheless, the most important element of the new Kleos is it’s sound. We firmly believe that the Kleos is capable of extracting more information from the vinyl grooves than it’s predecessors, and that the reproduction of music is both more dynamic, more detailed, and more natural than the models preceding it. We also are of the opinion that the Kleos will set a new standard for sonic performance at it’s price point.Today there are only a small handful of master cartridge builders in the world, and Lyra’s Yoshinori Mishima belongs to this elite group of individuals that are capable of crafting the highest level MC transducers on the planet. His assistant Akiko Ishiyama, who has undergone several years of apprenticeship, is also involved in the building process leading to each Kleos.The Kleos is not only hand made, but each cartridge is listened to extensively and “voiced” by the master cartridge builder, like the finest musical instruments.Lyra offers a unique combination of capable, advanced cartridge design by Jonathan Carr and complete handmade execution by the above mentioned individuals. Investing in a Lyra Kleos through an authorized retailer will offer you an un-parallelled analog experience from your stereo microgroove vinyl records. - [Lyra Etna Lambda SL](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-etna-lambda-sl/) - Lyra Etna Lambda SL Lyra again turns the analog world on its ear with the introduction of the Etna λ Lambda SL phono cartridge. Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna λ Lambda SL - the cartridge - is an impressive monument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design tenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono cartridges.Etna λ Lambda SL was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering efficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of its parts as possible. For this reason, although it shares some of its design philosophy with Atlas λ Lambda SL, the concepts are executed rather differently.Etna λ Lambda SL employs a solid titanium core structure machined with non-parallel surfaces to inhibit internal reflections whenever possible, but unlike Atlas (and Titan i before it), this is mated to a slightly undersized, asymmetric, mirror-black anodized duralumin outer body that locks over the core like a very tightly-fitting jigsaw puzzle.The core and body are augmented with bronze and stainless-steel resonance control rods, then pressure-fit together into a pre-stressed, solid, void-free structure which is comprised of multiple materials and complex internal shapes.The constrained-layer nature of this construction dramatically reduces the resonant signature of each material and creates a far more neutral-sounding body structure than otherwise possible, while the high body stiffness benefits transients, dynamics and resolution. - [Lyra Etna Lambda ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-etna-lambda/) - Lyra Etna Lambda Etna λ Lambda was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering efficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of its parts as possible.

Performance is optimal when the angles are all aligned, but any significant difference in the angles will cause the formation of a strong and directional flux that will flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core.This directional magnetic flux will orient the core toward a specific direction and make it impossible for the core to move with equal ease in all directions, which is necessary for proper cartridge performance.Unfortunately, conventional MC cartridges have been designed so that the angles between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core become aligned only when tracking force is not applied. The result is that during playback, the required tracking force causes the angle between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core to become misaligned. This limits the cartridge’s resolution, tracking ability and dynamic range.The new Lyra Delos is designed to conquer this problem. Compared to conventional cartridges, the Delos has a new body structure with an unusually shallow angle, and this has been paired with a unique asymmetrical damping system. When no tracking force is applied, the shape of the asymmetrical dampers forces the signal coils and core into a more upright angle than the magnetic circuit.However, no tracking force applied means that the cartridge is not operating, and therefore any angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core will have no effect on performance. When tracking force is applied, however, the force of the stylus pushing on the LP causes the asymmetrical dampers to be deformed into a symmetrical shape, and when this happens the angular discrepancies between magnetic circuit, signal coils and core all disappear.Since tracking force applied means that the cartridge is now operating, it should be clear that the design of the Delos is able to keep the angles between the magnetic circuit, signal coils and core aligned during playback.Keeping the proper angular alignment prevents the formation of any strong and directional flux that could otherwise flow constantly from the magnetic circuit into the signal core, and enables the Delos’ core to move with equal ease in all directions, for optimal performance.The Delos also has a microridge stylus on a boron cantilever for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid machined metal body for low resonances, and 6-N high-purity copper coils and nude construction for greater clarity. The result is clearly improved sound quality, particularly resolution, tracking ability, dynamic range, transient impact and immediacy.Feel free to audition the Lyra Delos, and hear how good a New Angle can make your LPs sound. - [Lyra Atlas Lambda SL](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-atlas-lambda-sl/) - Lyra Atlas Lambda SL The Atlas λ is Lyra’s new flagship phono cartridge. Why asymmetric? By literally misplacing the “barriers” to great sound that are present in every other cartridge today, a number of important performance benefits are realized.First, different-shaped structures on the left and right sides of the cartridge body suppress the formation of standing waves within, resulting in a significant reduction of resonance-induced colorations. Second, the asymmetric construction offsets the front magnet carrier and its associated mounting system so that it is no longer in line with the cantilever assembly.This opens up a direct, solid path between the cantilever assembly and tonearm head-shell so that vibrations from the cantilever can be quickly drained away once they have been converted into electrical signals, again suppressing induced resonances.Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever assembly directly into the cartridge body thereby achieving a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and head-shell. The effectiveness of this system has been enhanced as a result of the asymmetrical structure of the Atlas λ Lambda. Control over spurious resonances is further assisted by the use of a narrowed mounting area, which couples the Atlas λ more tightly to the head-shell and facilitates the transfer of vibrational energy into the tonearm.The Atlas λ Lambda uses Lyra’s “New Angle” technology, which mechanically pre-biases the signal coils so that they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets when LP playback takes place. This equalizes out discrepancies in vertical and horizontal compliances and enables the Atlas λ Lambda coils to move with equal ease in all directions for optimal performance.We firmly believe that the Atlas λ Lambda represents an important step forward in LP playback. - [Lyra Atlas Lambda ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-atlas-lambda/) - Lyra Atlas Lambda The Atlas λ is Lyra’s new flagship phono cartridge. Why asymmetric? By literally misplacing the “barriers” to great sound that are present in every other cartridge today, a number of important performance benefits are realized.First, different-shaped structures on the left and right sides of the cartridge body suppress the formation of standing waves within, resulting in a significant reduction of resonance-induced colorations. Second, the asymmetric construction offsets the front magnet carrier and its associated mounting system so that it is no longer in line with the cantilever assembly.This opens up a direct, solid path between the cantilever assembly and tonearm head-shell so that vibrations from the cantilever can be quickly drained away once they have been converted into electrical signals, again suppressing induced resonances.Lyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever assembly directly into the cartridge body thereby achieving a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and head-shell.

Namely, a sense of compression where digital streaming sounds flatter and with high-frequency limitations when directly compared to the best LPs and tapes. Product HighlightsROON Core and Bridge - employs Roon software, known for its user-friendly interface and customizable featuresEM Cell technology - developed and refined for our PowerCell line conditioners and Active Ground Block ground conditionersLPS Technology - utilizing EM Cell technologies, dramatically expands dynamics, sound-staging, and resolution as it improves smoothness and musicalityULF Technology - eliminates both digital compression and annoying high-frequency artifacts assumed to be intrinsic to the digital format Extensive Circuitry Comparison – we auditioned dozens of motherboards, CPU processors, and RAM options in double-blind testing, picking only the most resolved and musical optionsLow Mechanical Resonance Chassis Architecture- effectively eliminates vibrational feedback between the chassis and the internal circuits by using thick billets of CNC-machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fiberSR Master Fuse Included - developed expressly for full resolution, dynamics, sound-staging, speed, and impact without the need to create musicality as a system-wide fuse loom No one does Voodoo, like We do To paraphrase Harry Pearson, “If you want to enjoy digital, don’t listen to analog.” And while we love digital, we couldn’t help but remember Harry’s words every time we performed back-to-back comparisons between our digital rig, especially when streaming on Qobuz and Tidal, and our state-of-the-art turntable and tape deck. So, for years we focused on engineering better digital and AC cables to bring our digital experience closer to what we hear when listening to analog.This quest stretched over two decades, where we engineered some of the world’s highest-performance digital cables, but still, something was missing. So, we turned our attention to the last remaining links in the digital chain, namely, Ethernet Switches and Network Routers. And again, we took a massive leap forward. And again, something is missing. So, we set our sights on the last remaining component in the chain, the server/streamer.Before the Voodoo project even began, we had amassed an arsenal of technologies that could be used to build the ultimate music streaming server. Namely, EM Cell technology developed and refined over the past fifteen years for our PowerCell line conditioners and Active Ground Block ground conditioners, LPS power supplies also utilizing EM Cell technologies in our Ethernet Switch and Network Router, and ULF bias technology to eliminate high-frequency distortion as first developed for our Galileo PowerCell line conditioner.Serendipitously, we had just perfected these technologies as an ecosystem for digital applications through our UEF Ethernet Router and Ethernet Switch. So we developed the world’s most musically robust server architecture, where we listened to dozens of motherboards, CPU processors, and RAM options in double-blind testing, picking only the most resolved and musical options. We then paired our new Linux computer with our latest LPS technology, refined over the past decade, to power your new Voodoo Streamer/Server.Finally, we adapted the ULF Bias technology from our state-of-the-art Galileo Ground Block and PowerCell line conditioners, which proved to be the ultimate game changer. By overcoming high-frequency noise all too common in digital circuits, we eliminated both digital compression and annoying high-frequency artifacts assumed to be intrinsic to the digital format. Now, instead of digital sounding somewhat veiled and with high-frequency hash, it is analog that sounds spatially compressed with high frequencies that lack extension and transparency. Circuit, CPU, Memory and StorageCore Harmony for Peak Performance When crafting your new Voodoo Streamer/Server, we utilize the same low mechanical resonance chassis architecture as found in other SR Active Components like our Galileo Active Ground Block and UEF Ethernet Switch. We effectively eliminate vibrational feedback between the chassis and the internal circuits by using thick billets of CNC-machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber.To ensure cool and quiet operation without noisy fans, the entire chassis acts as a massive heat sink to dissipate the considerable heat generated by its powerful Linux computer. Even the top screens are machined from bronze with a carbon fiber inlay to boost aesthetic beauty as it improves internal cooling, so your Voodoo server is as quiet and sexy as your system’s now nonexistent noise floor. EM Cell TechnologyResonance Refined - Purity Defined The Patented EM Cell technology, exclusive to Synergistic Research, stands as an integral feature of the Voodoo Music Streaming Server. Developed over 15 years, this patented technology has been refined through its application in a variety of our products, from power and ground conditioners to digital devices such as the UEF Ethernet Switch and UEF Network Router. In each implementation, this technology has evolved and advanced, demonstrating our commitment to andvancing audio performance.Within your Voodoo Server, EM Cell’s condition its DC power supply and computer circuitry. This targeted action significantly reduces noise, allowing for a pristine sound that brings you closer to the heart of the music. Its proven efficacy in our other products has informed its integration into the Voodoo Server, ensuring a listening experience that’s both authentic and immersive. FEQ Low Frequency GeneratorTuning the Pulse of Your Audio Experience A ULF field generator integrated into Voodoo’s internal EM Cells is a specialized feature of the Voodoo Music Streaming Server, reflecting a technology Synergistic Research has been actively refining since 2013. Initially introduced in the original FEQ Acoustic Field Generator, it evolved into various SR active components, including all current PowerCell line conditioners and Active Ground Block ground conditioners.Voodoo even allows you to tailor the soundstage and tonal character to your preference at the press of a button. Select one of three settings, Blue, Red, and Green, each with a unique ULF harmonic that cancels high-frequency noise from WiFi, Cell Phones, and ambient RF.This adjustment capability allows for an expansive, detailed soundstage or a more intimate acoustic profile to your liking. Voodoo gives you the power to shape your musical environment, making you the orchestra’s conductor, the director of your system’s components. Roon Core and BridgeNavigating the Future of Digital Audio The Voodoo Music Streaming Server employs Roon software, known for its user-friendly interface and customizable features, enhancing the overall music listening experience. Roon combines various music sources and provides enriched content like artist bios and lyrics, contributing to its exceptional sound quality. This server, with its integration of Roon, stands out for both its ease of use and the high-quality audio experience it offers.For the highest possible digital audio quality, use one Voodoo unit as the core and another as the bridge, allowing each unit to focus on their respective functions separately.

Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol. - [Synergistic Research UEF Network Router](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-uef-network-router/) - Network Router UEFIntroducing the Synergistic Research Network Router UEF - the world’s only network router guaranteed to improve your system’s performance or your money back. Building on the success of our Ethernet Switch UEF, we applied similar UEF technology to create a network router that dramatically improves all aspects of your system’s performance.During its one-year development program, we evaluated dozens of router boards, searching for the best-sounding circuit as a base to apply our many technologies.We then adapted our award-winning linear power supply initially developed for the Limited Production Galileo PowerCell, plus a patented electromagnetic cell to condition AC entering the unit as well as the digital signal exiting the Network Router UEF. Next, we’ve incorporated a Dual Frequency ULF generator with technology first developed for our FEQ Carbon to actively shield and condition the entire unit with harmonics of the Earth’s Schuman Resonance.For the best possible shielding and control of mechanical vibrations, the active circuit is fitted to a chassis machined from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum with a carbon fiber lid for optimal resonance control. And to voice the router, we developed a custom Carbon Fiber Tuning Disc and affixed it to the circuit for added harmonic texture and liquidity in the sound field. Lastly, we include a Purple Fuse to lower your noise floor and improve holographic realism.Upgrade your digital audio experience with a Synergistic Research Network Router UEF guaranteed to transform your system or your money back. Important Note: The Synergistic Research Network Router UEF does not include internal WiFi functionality. This deliberate omission ensures optimal performance by keeping the WiFi signal isolated from the Network Router. If your system requires a wireless connection (phone, tablet, etc.), it is necessary to connect a separate access point to the SR Network Router UEF.A WiFi router is not the same as an access point. A WiFi router will not work. We have extensively tested various access points and found that different models seem to have minimal impact on overall performance. Two easy to set up recommendations are the TP-Link EAP610 and NETGEAR WiFi 6 Access Point (WAX214). When setting up your Access Point, set a different SSID than your existing home network. - [SONORUS AUDIO TAPE DECK](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/sonorus-audio-tape-deck/) - [Synergistic Research Pink Fuse](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-pink-fuse/) - Synergistic Research Pink Fuse At Synergistic Research, we routinely make discoveries as we seek to improve the performance of SR products. And this leads us to the new Pink Fuse. Traditionally, we launch a new state-of-the-art fuse every 24 months, as it typically takes two years to accumulate enough new technology to surpass an outgoing fuse significantly.But as 2023 was coming to an end, we had already rolled all new accumulated technologies into the new Master Fuse launched in February 2023, engineered and voiced to supercharge an otherwise Purple fuse loom. For this reason, we had nothing in reserve capable of warranting a replacement for the Purple fuse.So, it remained in our lineup as your main application fuse to be combined with a few Master Fuses in a state-of-the-art fuse loom until we could develop something fundamentally better; fast forward to after the Master Fuse launch, where we have learned a great deal during the development of the new Voodoo server, including an entirely new high voltage conditioning process perfect for a new generation fuse that would maintain the Purple Fuse’s musical warmth but with added resolution and dynamics, combined with enhanced musicality without sounding artificially warm or colored, with or without Master Fuses also in the mix.Fortunately, we were also in the final stages of development for a new flagship product, slated to launch later this year, so it is still top secret, with a new UEF compound that proved perfect for the new Pink Fuse, giving it a lower noise floor when directly compared to the outgoing Purple fuse.And so, the new Pink Fuse is born albeit six months late, the child of Voodoo’s high voltage conditioning process, and a new UEF compound first developed for a yet-to-be-announced flagship product that will be, by far, the most expensive product in Synergistic Research’s 32-year history when it lands later this year. Evolution of Electrical KnowledgeFor over one hundred years people believed electrons flowed like water through a pipe . Today, physicists understand electrons don’t flow at all but rather propagate in a wave of energy that moves along a conductor with a multitude of factors that alters this wave at the quantum level.At Synergistic Research we’ve isolated key factors that affect how electricity propagates by changing the behavior of electrons through Inductive Quantum Coupling methods we collectively call UEF Tech. In fact, UEF Tech is so powerful even an electrical chain several miles long is fundimentally improved with nothing more than a single fuse engineered with our patented UEF Technology. - [SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH SRX MSB SPEC POWER CABLE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-srx-msb-spec-power-cable/) - Synergistic Research SRX MSB Spec Power CableSRX MSB Spec shares the same hallmarks as the rest of the SRX lineup. Namely, an ultra-low noise floor with inner detail, dynamics, and holographic realism to rival the best analog playback while setting a new digital benchmark. Anyone experienced with master tapes understands there is a significant difference between the best of digital and tape, with tape possessing detail, musicality, dynamics and three dimensionality not found in other formats.SRX MSB Spec takes your state-of-the-art DAC close to your best tapes in your reel-to-reel deck while surpassing the majority of tapes in your library. And if you are a vinyl lover, you will find many of your files, CDs, and SACDs can now compete with and surpass all but your best vinyl recordings.To set this new digital standard, we start with an exploded geometry comprising of Sixteen High Current Silver Air Strings per pair. Each Air String is hand-made in our California factory from 99.9999% pure silver in an air dielectric with a UEF grid running the cable’s length to lower the noise floor and expand the sound field. We then apply the SRX Long Duration Multi-Frequency High Voltage Conditioning Process for enhanced clarity, musicality, and detail without fatigue.And for a lower noise floor still, connect the SRX MSB Spec’s Digital-side cable’s Ground Plane to an Active SR Ground Block. Each hand-made geometry and ground plane is run through carbon fiber discs to maintain separation between conductors for lower capacitance and cross-talk. Voicing the cables to your system is easy with supplied Gold and Silver SRX Carbon Fibre UEF filters.Gold will deliver a warmer and more liquid sound, while silver has increased air and focus. You decide between Gold and Silver Tuning Circuits by listening to your two options for a bespoke system match.Note: There is a digital and analog specific cable in each pair. The digital cable has an optional ground pigtail to connect to an SR active ground conditioner while the analog side is voiced perfectly with a built-in gold Carbon Tuning Disc. - [Synergistic Research Master Fuse](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/master-fuse/) - Synergistic Research Master Fuse Master Fuse is an entirely new kind of Fuse. In the past, we developed the highest resolution fuse given the current technology while voicing our fuses to complement a maximum number of systems. And for over a decade, as newly developed technologies came online, like new UEF Compounds and new conditioning processes, we have applied them to the next generation of cutting-edge fuses, usually every two years.Of course, we were striving for maximum resolution plus the warmth needed for most systems to sound musical. But we never could press resolution and other sonic traits as far as we could have.Enter Master Fuse; the first Synergistic Research fuse developed expressly for full resolution, dynamics, sound-staging, speed, and impact without the need to create musicality as a system-wide fuse loom. Instead, we engineered Master Fuse to work alongside Purple and Orange fuses to create dramatic new levels of sonic realism, featuring wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling sound-staging with unparalleled resolution, dynamics, and frequency extension.Best of all, most systems will not benefit from more than one or possibly two Master Fuses in an otherwise complete loom of Purple and or Orange fuses. So you start with a single Master Fuse on your DAC or line conditioner and realize guaranteed results or your money back for the first 30 days. You can then experiment sparingly with additional Master Fuses if you wish to go further. The choice is yours. UEF TECHNOLOGYToday physicists understand electrons don’t flow at all but rather propagate in a wave of energy that moves along a conductor with a multitude of factors that alters this wave at the quantum level. At Synergistic Research we’ve isolated key factors that affect how electricity propagates by changing the behavior of electrons through Inductive Quantum Coupling methods we collectively call UEF Tech. In fact, UEF Tech is so powerful even an electrical chain several miles long is fundamentally improved with nothing more than a single fuse engineered with our patented UEF Technology. - [Galileo Powercell SX](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/galileo-powercell-sx/) - Galileo Powercell SX The 2021 Galileo PowerCell SX starts with a complete redesign of its PCB power supply and ULF Signal Generator while keeping all non-conflicting PCB advancements from last year’s model. The first step was to create a multi-frequency ULF generator that splits the balance between intimate, focused recordings and large-scale recordings for a perfect yin and yang of the two. The Red setting is voiced for smaller-scale performances and is especially suited to recordings of analog instruments.The Purple Setting is voiced to portray large-scale recordings accurately. It is ideally suited to recordings with massive sound fields like Pink Floyd or any modern recording mastered to portray extreme stereo imaging. To make this possible, we borrowed technology from our Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generator that generates the Earth’s Shuman Resonance plus harmonics of the Earth’s Shuman Resonance simultaneously over two channels to model different acoustic environments.As a result, the Galileo PowerCell SX is the first PowerCell to utilize more than one ULF frequency when biasing its internal EM Cells. We then added technology from our Tranquility Pod to create a uniform EM field beneath the PCB and power supply for a lower noise floor with improved dynamics and sound-staging. We then improved fundamentals like 33% larger and more densely packed folded EM Cells for a significant increase in AC filtration that lowers a system’s perceived noise floor with improvements in dynamics. We then designed a new Purple Duplex with all Purple Fuse technologies for sonic improvements precisely like our state-of-the-art Purple Fuses.Finally, we re-voiced the internal Gold UEF tuning circuits to tie the sum of all advances together with a focus on natural sound first, along with improvements in sound-staging. Together these changes result from innovation perfected through 100’s of hours of measurements and listening tests and is the single most significant leap in Galileo PowerCell performance since the introduction of the first 11 x EM Cell Galileo PowerCell of 2019. NEW 2021 Galileo SX with Galileo SX Dual ULF Generator. Dual 2 setting ULF Generator.Galileo PowerCell SX is the first PowerCell to utilize a multi-frequency ULF Shuman Frequency Generator to complement both large and smaller-scale performances. To make accurate small and large scale sound-staging reality, we use technology first developed for our Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generators. Ultimately we perfected two new frequency combinations to perfectly complement large and small scale acoustic environments after first creating multiple combinations that proved unnecessary in the final stages of development. The multi frequency bias of the internal EM Cell is similar to what you hear when comparing our original FEQ field generator to an Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generator, which presents music on a grander scale with improved dynamics and musicality. To optimize the Galileo PowerCell SX to your system and personal tastes, press a button to switch between Red and Purple settings selecting the option that makes music in your stereo when playing your favorite recordings.Redesigned dual frequency PCB w/ new regulated power supply and built-in Active Tranquility Pod.New Dual ULF Antenna configurationNew Gold UEF tuning bulletsPurple OutletsNew UEF application on EM CellsNew long duration quantum tunnel proceduresTwo frequency bias, one perfect sound. Red Frequency: voiced for acoustic instruments, vocals, and smaller-scale performances Purple Frequency: convincingly portrays large-scale performances and electronic music. What’s inside?The Galileo SX PowerCell starts with the same technology as our world-beating PowerCell 12 SE line conditioner and adds five additional folded Active Electromagnetic Cells for a total of eleven Active EM Cells to the PowerCell 12 SX’s six Active EM Cells. Furthermore, all eleven Active EM Cells are larger and more densely packed for four times the total surface area, and this translates into a dramatic increase in EM Cell efficiency with over twice the stored energy for a sound that is more dynamic with greater apparent dynamic range. - [Powercell SX](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/powercell-sx/) - Synergistic Research Powercell SX PowerCell SX borrows its technology from the now sold out Galileo SX PowerCell for higher performance than PowerCell 12. Technological innovation starts with the Galileo SX PowerCell’s more densely rolled Active Electromagnetic Cells for enhanced filtration and a lower noise floor. PowerCell SX then gets the Galileo SX’s power supply and Schumann Resonance Generator to power and bias its six internal EM Cells. And just like the Galileo SX PowerCell that biased all Active EM Cells, PowerCell SX’s Schumann Resonance generator biases its six Active EM cells, both rolled and flat. In contrast, the standard PowerCell 12 only biases the single flat EM Cell and with a less powerful field generator. Other improvements include the same ground filtration topology as found on the Galileo SX PowerCell for lower noise and a more holographic soundstage, and a unique ability to ground PowerCell SX to a Synergistic Research Active Ground Block for even higher performance without sacrificing any of your twelve AC outlets. And new to PowerCell SX are Orange Capacitors with Orange Fuse technology used in the power supply and field generator offering benefits over both the Galileo SX PowerCell and PowerCell 12. There’s even an Amp Meter that allows you to view the beautiful hand-built circuit as you monitor your system’s energy consumption. What’s Inside?We transferred over 80% of the technology and improvements first developed for our world-beating Galileo SX PowerCell line conditioner directly into the new PowerCell SX. We then added Orange Capacitors to its power supply and ULF field generator and our new Orange Duplexes to improve PowerCell SX performance. All Active EM Cells are larger and more densely packed with 25% more surface area than the PowerCell 12’s rolled EM Cells for an increase in EM Cell efficiency and enhanced energy storage for power delivery and perceived dynamic range.At the heart of the PowerCell SX is the Galileo SX’s power supply for biasing all six of its internal Active EM Cells, and we incorporated the Galileo SX’s Ground Plane for a dramatic drop in your system’s noise floor. Lessons learned from the Galileo SX PowerCell development program include the same harmonic of the Earth’s Schumann resonance first determined in double-blind testing to deliver greater detail and holographic realism over the PC 12 SE’s original bias frequency. Additionally, the new power supply and field generator first developed for Galileo SX biases all six Active EM Cells. In contrast, the PowerCell 12 SE only biases its single flat Active EM Cell with the Earth’s Schumann Resonance for a fundamental transformation over PowerCell 12 SE.Ground filtration is enhanced through the use of a new wiring topology developed for Galileo SX PowerCell to lower a system’s noise floor. Optionally, the PowerCell SX can be connected to our Active Ground Block through a new dedicated ground connection that lowers its noise floor further still and without sacrificing any of its 12 AC outlets. A very useful feature for systems that require all twelve AC outlets. Ammeter with 13 Lighting OptionsPowerCell SX has the wow factor covered with a forward-facing amp meter that displays the amperage running through your PowerCell as it provides a window to the beautiful hand-crafted circuit inside— combined with a second larger top-mounted window you enjoy viewing the pinnacle of our American craftsmanship. You can even change the color and intensity of the light that illuminates both the front amp meter and a top circuit view window. Select between Galileo White, Synergistic Research Blue, Dante Red, and McIntosh Blue to match its lighting to the other components in your system. And if you prefer no light at all you can choose to be boring, it’s all up to you. - [MIG 3.0 Isolation Footer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mig-isolation-footer/) - MIG 3.0 Isolation FooterMiG 3.0 came about when our lead designer sought to incorporate new UEF technologies first developed during our SRX reference cable loom and Purple fuse design programs. He intended to bring MiG 3.0 closer to MiG SX’s increased resolution but with a richer and more dynamic harmonic structure with enhanced sound staging capabilities over MiG 2.0. To make this happen, we retuned the resonance characteristics of the MiG itself while incorporating the same UEF element found in SRX cables and Purple Fuses. The result is a MiG footer with a lower noise floor from which springs enhanced resolution with smoother highs and a larger sound field over the standard MiG and outgoing MiG 2.0. - [MIG SX Isolation Footer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mig-sx/) - MIG SX Isolation FooterMiG SX footers are an evolution of our original MiG footers developed in 2008. We start with a new specially tuned MiG resonator forged from high carbon steel and add a precision-machined Aircraft Aluminum and Carbon Fibre three-piece chassis engineered to distribute vibration through a special tuning disc and a UEF tuning element into Carbon Tungsten ball bearings. For a bespoke match to your system, MiG SX has two placement options that re-tunes your component’s resonance; choose between Ambient and Pin-Point configurations and pick the option that best suits your system on a component by component basis. With MiG SX in your system, you experience a more massive and dense sound field, improved imaging, better layering of images, deeper and tighter bass, more extended high frequencies, and better mid-range clarity. In short, MiG SX improves nearly every aspect of system performance in a way that is anything but subtle. PINPOINTWhen you place two MiG SX’s “Round Side Down” and one MiG SX “Round Side Up” under a component, you hear a sharpening of soundstage focus with pinpoint image placement and tighter bass. This combination tends to work best when placing MiG SX under PowerCell line conditioners, hard drives, and digital servers or whenever you want a highly focused, less ambient sound.As a rule, most people will predominately prefer one balance over the other with at least one component sounding best in the opposite configuration, and this will give you the best of both options. For this reason, we HIGHLY recommend that you compare your two options on a component-by-component basis and listen for the arrangement that sounds best with each component in your system.AMBIENTWhen you place two MiG SX’s “Round Side Up” and one MiG SX “Round Side Down” under a component, you hear a more ambient layered sound, fuller bass, and images that are less sharp and more rounded. You may also prefer this placement if you like a liquid presentation, or if you want a vacuum tube-like sound especially when used with solid-state phono pre-amps and D to A converters. As a rule, most people will predominately prefer one balance over the other with at least one component sounding best in the opposite configuration, and this will give you the best of both options. For this reason, we HIGHLY recommend that you compare your two options on a component-by-component basis and listen for the arrangement that sounds best with each component in your system. - [603 S2](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/603-s2/) - Bowers and Wilkins 603 S2 - A Celebration of Sound The 603 S2 Anniversary Edition is the largest and most capable loudspeaker in the 600 Series Anniversary Edition range.

First, we start with a Galileo-style chassis machined from a solid billet of aluminum plus carbon fiber to lower distortion related to mechanical vibration. Next, we developed a power supply with technology and lessons learned from our LPS or Linear Power Supply development program for the lowest noise floor of any Active Ground Block to date. We then dialed up the performance of our ULF bias of ground by introducing duel harmonics of the Schuman Resonance instead of just one with technology developed for our upcoming 2023 Galileo PowerCell. We also focused on making the new Active Ground Block SX more practical than the popular PowerCell SE by upping the number of ground points from 22 to 32. This means you can ground an additional ten components, cable shields, system racks, or anything in your system made from a conductive material to maximize system performance. Finally, audition the Active Ground Block SX in your system and discover why we say ultimate performance starts at ground level.Promotional items must be ordered at the time of purchase.

I never imagined that something so small could make such a big change in the way you listen to music and movies. I’ve tried them on my anthem AVM 60 also, and the sound is amazing. On my McIntosh, the bass is so powerful and clean. It’s beyond anything I heard before. And yet when the bass is delicate on the recording, all of the instruments in the music sound like real instruments.I love synergistic research products, and I have to say, after putting ECTs in my system, I just can’t live without them. I also put 5 in my 4k Blu-Ray Player, huge change.I’ve tried them on cables and subwoofers, the change is amazing. Ted Denney is the Tony Stark of the audio world. We need more people like him that can change our world. In my opinion, he makes things we just can’t live without.”Thanks, Raymond - [Atmosphere SX Alive Interconnect Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/atmosphere-sx-al-interconnect-cable/) - Atmosphere SX Alive Interconnect Cable Alive SX starts with new 5th Generation Tricon Geometries featuring Silver Matrix conductors and applies a new High-Frequency Long Duration Conditioning Signal first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom.

Interconnect Cable Placement:Place Carbon Tuning Disc on the sending side of interconnects. Start at your source, and work toward your amplifiers, testing one color on both channels then the other on both channels.Note: Carbon Tuning Discs can be used to tune ANY cable similarly to our UEF Tuning Circuits found in Atmosphere SX, Galileo SX, and SRX cable, so you get a sense of the Synergistic Research UEF sound no matter what cable brand you may have in your system. Also, a dramatic impact with our Foundation Series cables. - [Galileo Discovery Interconnect ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/galileo-discovery-interconnect-cable/) - Galileo Discovery Interconnect The Galileo Discovery interconnect geometry is a direct evolution of designs that date back to 1995, including Tesla Apex, Absolute Reference, and Designers’ Reference cable looms. We then applied brand-new technologies developed during the clean slate SRX state-of-the-art cable program for the most significant performance leap in Galileo’s ten-year history.Galileo Discovery starts with parallel geometries of 4th generation Tricon and Air Strings handmade in our California factory from 99.9999% Silver in an Air Dielectric.We then apply a brand new UEF Compound developed for the SRX cable loom and our new Purple Fuses to dramatically lower Galileo Discovery’s noise floor while expanding its sound staging capabilities to nearly that of the SRX cable loom. We then apply the SRX multi-frequency long duration conditioning process, which enhances resolution and musicality in equal measure.We have included our highest performance Carbon Fiber UEF Tuning Circuits first developed for the SRX cable loom to voice Galileo Discovery to your system.Gold UEF Tuning Circuit creates a detailed, liquid balance, while the Silver UEF Tuning Circuit has a more substantial low-frequency impact with pin-point clarity and frequency extension. - [Galileo Discovery Power Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/galileo-discovery-ac-power-cable/) - Galileo Discovery Power Cable Galileo Discovery power cables are ten parallel geometries that evolved over 25 years of continual power cord development. We then add our highest performance Active EM Cell, first developed for SR25 and SRX power cords making this a high-resolution power cord and an active AC filter to eliminate cross-contamination between analog and digital components.And for enhanced performance, Galileo Discovery’s shield can be optionally grounded to any Synergistic Research Active or passive Ground Block, including our Galileo Active Ground Block for an even lower noise floor with improved holographic realism.Next, we use a Swiss-made power supply to improve the Galileo Discovery’s Active Noise Canceling EM Cell encased in carbon fiber. This powers the cable’s Active DC Biased Shield and UEF Technology first developed for Purple Fuses and the SRX cable loom.Usually cables as detailed and transparent as Galileo Discovery suffer from diminished musicality due to resolution that may be too much for some systems. However, this is not the case with Galileo Discovery, thanks to a new Purple Fuse UEF Compound that fleshes out a harmonic richness.It also opens up the sound stage with extended high frequencies and bass for the most musical and detailed Galileo power cord to date. We then applied a new UEF Matrix Shielding Array first developed for SRX cables to interact with the surrounding EM Fields for the lowest noise floor possible. Finally, we treat each power cord with a new Multi-Frequency, Long-Duration High Voltage Conditioning Process from the SRX Development Program.Galileo Discovery power cords are voiced to your system with included Gold and Silver SRX Carbon Tuning Circuits.The Silver option gives you a detailed and dynamic sound with pinpoint image placement. In contrast, the Gold variant sounds liquid and smooth but with excellent detail. For best performance, we recommend you allow these power cords to settle into your system for at least 72 hours before tuning. Then compare Gold and Silver SRX Tuning Circuits starting as high up the signal chain as possible on a cable-by-cable basis.Typically, you will prefer one color or the other in most applications but with a few applications where the opposite variant sounds best. In this way, you realize the best of both Silver and Gold, and when you’ve finished, you’ve created a bespoke power cord loom just right for your system and personal tastes. Of course, the tuning process is optional for people who prefer not to take this step. - [Galileo Discovery Speaker Cables](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/galileo-discovery-speaker-cable/) - Galileo Discovery Speaker Cables Galileo Discovery is our most evolved speaker cable with one of the most complex cable geometries perfected over 22 years and made by hand in our California factory from (4) High Current Silver Matrix geometries, (1) 4th Generation Tricon Silver Matrix geometry, (3) Hand Made Pure Silver / Graphene AirString Geometries and (1) Hand Made Pure Tungsten AirString geometry.All nine parallel geometries utilize our new UEF Graphene Matrix Shielding with a new UEF Graphene Compound first developed for our amazing SR Purple Fuses.To enhance clarity, all geometries and conductors are separated to cancel cable resonance for a clear, effortless sound with natural decay and timbre. During the voicing process, we added a Tungsten conductor in a hand-made AirString geometry for the unique sound staging properties of tungsten as determined during a 6-month double-blind listening test to find alternate conductors with remarkable properties.For the clarity, speed, and holographic realism of our flagship SRX cable loom, we applied the SRX’s UEF Graphene Compound to Galileo Discovery’s UEF Inductive Cell located in a carbon fiber tube and made from Pure Silver Foils and Graphene with a dielectric of pure Japanese Silk, chosen for its warmth, sonic layering, and musicality over traditional dielectric materials discovered during double-blind listening tests.To voice Galileo Discovery to your system, select between two bespoke UEF Tuning Modules first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom. The Silver SRX Tuning Module has a highly resolved balance that is pinpoint in its imaging and dynamic in presentation while possessing musicality absent in our previous Galileo Silver Tuning Module. The Gold SRX Tuning Module imparts a warmer frequency presentation with liquidity and envelopment without sacrificing detail.It merely presents differently, with slightly rounded image points, to the Silver SRX’s sharper and more immediate focus. A third option is not to attach either UEF Tuning Module, and the choice is yours to make based on the option that sounds best in your system. To improve shield effectiveness you can star ground strategic Galileo Discovery cable shields to either an included ground option or for higher performance ground Galileo Discovery shields to an optional Galileo Active Ground Block.Finally, to lower the noise floor, expand the soundstage, and increase detail and dynamics, we apply a brand new Long Duration, High Voltage, Multi-Frequency conditioning process first developed for our SRX cable loom and new Purple fuses. The net result is the most detailed, dynamic, holographic and musical Galileo loom to date. - [IDEON AUDIO](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ideon-audio-3/) - [IDEON AUDIO MUSIC SERVERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ideon-audio-music-servers/) - [IDEON AUDIO DAC's](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ideon-audio-2/) - [Ideon Audio Ayazi MK2 DAC](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ideon-audio-ayazi-mk2-dac/) - Ideon Audio Ayazi MK2 DAC The jack of all tradesThe Ayazi mk2 DAC is designed and fine-tuned specifically to reveal the musical magic encoded in the numbers, that are stored within the digital medium.

We start with a new UEF Compound, first developed in conjunction with our flagship cable loom, SRX.When you pop one UEF Performance Enhancer in your system, you’ll find yourself listening longer and, perhaps, at lower volumes as your system seems to flow better. When you insert a second UEF Performance Enhancer, you will likely hear a magnification of what you experienced when only one filter was in your system.Improvements include deeper and tighter bass, an expanded soundstage, and detail that rises above a now lower noise floor. But be careful; UEF Performance Enhancers are powerful, so you may find yourself groovin’ late into the night! - [FEQ Carbon Acoustic Field Generator (110V)](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/feq-carbon/) - FEQ Carbon Acoustic Field Generator (110V) Imagine listening to Charlie Parker at Birdland, then walking into Carnegie Hall and getting seated in the best seats in the house. This is possible when you add an FEQ Carbon Acoustic Field Generator to your listening room. No other technology allows you to tailor the size and scale of your soundstage with stunning realism, to portray the music and venue you are experiencing accurately. The Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon is a third-generation, two-channel acoustic field generator. New to the FEQ Carbon is a wholly redesigned PCB with dual RF generators. The first function of the redesign was to provide the ability to create different wave shapes, and the second was the addition of a 2nd, independently controlled ULF generator channel. This is similar to what has been used in the SR Atmosphere Infinity but is the first FEQ to have this ability, which meant 100’s of hours in the listening room finding the perfect combination of options and settings. Next was the new carbon fiber chassis. Not only cosmetically beautiful, but the carbon fibre chassis also improves the broadcast of ULF frequencies through its conductive weave. As a result, layering, three-dimensionality, and holographic realism are much improved over all single frequency FEQ’s of the past decade. In some aspects, the FEQ Carbon even outperforms the much larger and more complex Synergistic Research Atmosphere Infinity as we have isolated two different frequency combinations that represent a near-perfect yin and yang with focus and clarity on acoustic recordings and a more holographic soundstage on recordings mastered to convey a large and enveloping sound field. Two Frequency Biases, One Perfect SoundBlue Frequency: voiced for acoustic instruments, vocals, and smaller-scale performances.

As you listen to the Acora Acoustics QRC-2 loudspeaker, you will hear immersive space and imaging. You will hear deep, authoritative yet articulate bass. You will hear fine detail and depth. Acora loudspeakers will reveal many things you simply haven’t heard before. What you won’t hear is the enclosure. Acora Acoustics loudspeakers are constructed using handcrafted, specially treated, natural enclosures. The rigidity far exceeds that of traditional particle board or wood enclosures.One of the benefits of this is, as the QRC-2’s drivers move to push air / create sound, the enclosure isn’t absorbing this energy, dulling or smearing the sound. Another benefit of the Acora enclosure is that it does not need internal bracing to “stiffen” the enclosure. This means that internal cross bracing is not required. No internal bracing means no additional reflections inside the enclosure that will vibrate the low frequency drivers.The QRC-2 utilizes world-class drivers and a hand-built crossover network, however the real secret to the Acora Sound, is that you only hear these, not the enclosure. - [Acora Acoustics](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acora-acoustics-1/) - [ACORA ACOUSTICS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acora-acoustics/) - [Pro-Ject Automat A1 ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/pro-ject-automat-a1/) - Pro-Ject Automat A1 The A1 introduces our completely new Automat Line.

While everyone expects the bass extension to improve, most are shocked at the transformation that occurs in the main speakers. They simply open up, delivering improved dynamics, superior imaging and more low-level detail. Many describe it as the greatest speaker upgrade they have ever made.Over the years, we have calibrated many subwoofer systems in highly critical listening environments, and we have been frustrated by the limitations of active crossovers we have worked with. Tired of struggling with \"blunt instruments\", we felt that a higher precision tool was needed, so we decided to build it and call it \"CR-1\".When properly set up, CR-1 creates a listening experience in which the subwoofers and main speakers become one, delivering a cohesive and compelling sonic presentation.The CR-1 Active Subwoofer Crossover has been designed by audiophiles, for audiophiles. We believe it has no equal, offering a powerful combination of subwoofer/satellite tuning features, and a complete commitment to analog signal purity.CR-1 is built around two banks of precision Linkwitz-Riley low-pass and high-pass filters. Multiplying DACs with monolithic ratio matching are employed to adjust the analog circuit\'s filter frequencies. This offers superior tracking behavior and far more precise left/right channel balance, compared to conventional approaches.Another of CR-1\'s unique and powerful features is a pair of rotary controls that control the damping of each filter bank. These damping controls dramatically improve the acoustic summing through the crossover region, by compensating for each speaker system\'s frequency response.At the center of the front panel, a single intuitive, rotary control permits quick adjustment of the relative level between the subwoofer(s) and main speakers.To minimize distortion and noise, CR-1 employs top-grade component parts in its all-analog audio circuitry: 1% precision resistors, JFET-input audio-grade op-amps, polypropylene film-and-foil capacitors and metallized-polypropylene film capacitors, to name just a few.CR-1\'s input-output design makes it equally adaptable to studio, mastering suite or audiophile two-channel playback environments. To accommodate dual-mode systems, we also include a bypass feature that engages a pass-through from a dedicated \"Managed Bass Input\" on the rear panel, to the CR-1\'s subwoofer outputs. This makes it convenient to switch from two-channel to multi-channel mode. - [JL Audio Fathom IWSv2-SYS-213 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/jl-audio-fathom-iwsv2-sys-213-subwoofer/) - JL Audio Fathom IWSv2-SYS-213 Subwoofer The same minds that engineered JL Audio’s reference-grade Fathom® and Gotham® powered subwoofers have created an amazing in-wall subwoofer solution, centered on a pair of innovative, thin-line drivers with groundbreaking technologies.Housing these exotic drivers are two critically engineered enclosures with a unique floating mount design to minimize wall excitation.

Dynamic Motor Analysis - DMA Optimized MotorSummary:JL Audio\'s proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass. - [JL Audio E-Sub e110 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/jl-audio-e-sub-e110-subwoofer/) - JL Audio E-Sub e110 Subwoofer Applying a series of our key technologies, E-Sub powered subwoofers deliver exceptional sound quality, power and value in a wide range of demanding applicationsE-Sub drivers employ our exclusive DMA technology to optimize the drivers\' motor strength, ensuring linear behavior over a very long excursion range. Unlike typical steady-state modeling systems, DMA takes into account the dynamic shifts created by current flow and back EMF under real power conditions, with real program material.The payoff offered by DMA optimization is a driver that faithfully tracks its input signal, at all listening levels, leading to superior bass definition and dynamics.The extreme mounting depth of the E-Sub driver is very deliberate. It permits wide gaps to exist between the three suspension elements (the rubber surround and the dual spiders), imparting exceptional mechanical stability over the driver\'s full excursion range. This further improves linearity, reduces distortion and enhances long-term reliability.In a stroke of engineering elegance, the E-Sub’s steel front mounting flange forms the entire front baffle of the finished product, while the driver’s back-plate is threaded and bolted to the rear wall of its enclosure for support.To power these innovative drivers, we engineered a completely new switching amplifier with a regulated, switching power supply, making its chassis more compact, lightweight and efficient, while still delivering ample, clean power to fully exercise the E-Sub driver\'s performance envelope.Conveniently controlled from the E-Sub cabinet’s top panel, the amplifier incorporates studio-grade signal processing to make adjustments a much more enjoyable experience than rear–mounted controls found on most powered subwoofers. An attractive cover hides and protects the controls during normal use.The feature set has been designed to allow the use of E-Subs in a wide range of applications, from full home theater systems to dedicated two-channel music systems, to desktop audio workstations. Analog inputs are provided for unbalanced line-level signals or speaker level signals. Dedicated line outputs are included to make a bi-amped system arrangement with no additional hardware required.Useful in combating ground-related noise problems, a rear panel switch configures the line level inputs as grounded or isolated.The E-Sub’s active crossover is a true two-way, 4th order Linkwitz-Riley design, with a low-pass filter feeding the subwoofer\'s amplifier and a high-pass filtered signal exiting its line outputs. When the on-board crossover is defeated, as is typical in a home theater installation, the line outputs deliver a pass-through, buffered signal identical to its line inputs, easily permitting multiple E-Subs to be interconnected in a ‘daisy-chain\' arrangement.Switchable polarity and a fully variable phase control round out the signal processing section. All signal processing is performed in the analog domain, ensuring very low latency in critical applications.Precision-built in JL Audio\'s U.S. factory, all E-Sub are individually performance-verified and tested to deliver years of listening enjoyment in your home audio or home theater system.

This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass. - [JL Audio E-Sub e112 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/jl-audio-e-sub-e112-subwoofer/) - JL Audio E-Sub e112 Subwoofer Applying a series of our key technologies, E-Sub powered subwoofers deliver exceptional sound quality, power and value in a wide range of demanding applicationsE-Sub drivers employ our exclusive DMA technology to optimize the drivers\' motor strength, ensuring linear behavior over a very long excursion range. Unlike typical steady-state modeling systems, DMA takes into account the dynamic shifts created by current flow and back EMF under real power conditions, with real program material. The payoff offered by DMA optimization is a driver that faithfully tracks its input signal, at all listening levels, leading to superior bass definition and dynamics.The extreme mounting depth of the E-Sub driver is very deliberate. It permits wide gaps to exist between the three suspension elements (the rubber surround and the dual spiders), imparting exceptional mechanical stability over the driver\'s full excursion range. This further improves linearity, reduces distortion and enhances long-term reliability.In a stroke of engineering elegance, the E-Sub’s steel front mounting flange forms the entire front baffle of the finished product, while the driver’s back-plate is threaded and bolted to the rear wall of its enclosure for support.To power these innovative drivers, we engineered a completely new switching amplifier with a regulated, switching power supply, making its chassis more compact, lightweight and efficient, while still delivering ample, clean power to fully exercise the E-Sub driver\'s performance envelope.Conveniently controlled from the E-Sub cabinet’s top panel, the amplifier incorporates studio-grade signal processing to make adjustments a much more enjoyable experience than rear–mounted controls found on most powered subwoofers. An attractive cover hides and protects the controls during normal use.The feature set has been designed to allow the use of E-Subs in a wide range of applications, from full home theater systems to dedicated two-channel music systems, to desktop audio workstations. Analog inputs are provided for unbalanced line-level signals or speaker level signals. Dedicated line outputs are included to make a bi-amped system arrangement with no additional hardware required. Useful in combating ground-related noise problems, a rear panel switch configures the line level inputs as grounded or isolated.The E-Sub’s active crossover is a true two-way, 4th order Linkwitz-Riley design, with a low-pass filter feeding the subwoofer\'s amplifier and a high-pass filtered signal exiting its line outputs. When the on-board crossover is defeated, as is typical in a home theater installation, the line outputs deliver a pass-through, buffered signal identical to its line inputs, easily permitting multiple E-Subs to be interconnected in a ‘daisy-chain\' arrangement.Switchable polarity and a fully variable phase control round out the signal processing section. All signal processing is performed in the analog domain, ensuring very low latency in critical applications.Precision-built in JL Audio\'s U.S. factory, all E-Sub are individually performance-verified and tested to deliver years of listening enjoyment in your home audio or home theater system.

Its folded thin-film diaphragm gives it a much larger surface area than traditional dome tweeters of the same size. This \"squeezing\" design requires significantly less excursion than a dome tweeter, too, revealing controlled dispersion characteristics and vanishingly low distortion. These tiny tweeters mimic the high-frequency detail and response speed of a large electrostatic panel in a small space.Masterpiece CI Series steps up the game with the Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters, which advance thin-film transducer technology even further.The Folded Motion XT design features a 40% larger radiating surface and 80 x 30-degree controlled dispersion. This innovation increases audible bandwidth without sacrificing details and minimizes distortion to an unprecedented level, even while increasing the efficiency of the tweeter\'s already lightning-fast response time.The result is superior realism and alarming specificity. Folded Motion XT takes thin-film transducers to the next level—it\'s aurally astonishing.Driver Engineering DetailsMasterpiece CI features innovation upon innovation. To deliver more accuracy in the critical midrange, the mid-frequency drivers have had their suspensions (spider and surround) \"stiffened.\" Stiffening the suspension raises the driver\'s resonant frequency and optimizes its performance to achieve a more natural roll-off, inherently keeping it in an ideal range for mid-frequency reproduction.Each cone includes a concave dust cap that adds additional strength and rigidity, while further reducing breakup modes.Masterpiece CI mid-range and bass sections perfectly blend with the extreme accuracy of the high resolution Folded Motion XT tweeters, for a bold, seamless, distortion-free line-source performance throughout large listening areas.An inverted surround design maximizes clearance behind the grille, helping enhance driver excursion, clarity, and linearity.Sealed Back Box EnclosureSistine 4XC utilizes a dense, ejection molded back box with a sealed design that helps keep sound from leaking through the wall to unintended areas of the home, while also providing predictable airspace for the woofers to perform their best.The sealed box removes variables, like wall cavity size and construction quality, from the acoustic equation, guaranteeing a consistent, accurate performance, regardless of installation specs.Also, the hermetically sealed design keeps sound from leaking through walls.By controlling the sealed space volume and damping characteristics, and maintaining complete control over driver performance, crossover design, and cabinet construction, Masterpiece CI in-wall and in-ceiling speakers achieve an emotionally engaging experience on par with the performance of the world\'s most exceptional floor-standing speakers. - [PRO-JECT](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/pro-ject-3/) - [Pro-Ject The Classic EVO](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/pro-ject-the-classic-evo/) - Pro-Ject The Classic EVO The new Classic Evo is based on the successful EISA Award winner Pro-Ject The Classic. The main improvement is the sub-platter, where we used the experience we gained from designing the 175 – Vienna Philharmonic Record player to add key changes to the Classic Evo. The main bearing construction we use is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Record player.For improved comfort, an electronic speed change was built in, which lets you switch from 33 to 45 rpm (and vice versa) with the push of a button. Compared to the old Classic, we improved the subchassis; we tried to make it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonances. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target. The heavy aluminum main platter construction utilizes advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) for optimizing resonance behavior.The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminum: carbon for stiffness and speed, aluminum for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on our Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration of the record.The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%. As typical for Pro-Ject we offer also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.We supply as standard the Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge. As the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is a very good partner for MC cartridges.In the box:The Classic Evo with Ortofon 2M SilverConnect it E RCA CableDust coverFelt matAdapter for 7“ singlesRound drive belt for 78 r.p.m.Power supply, allen key, stylus pressure gauge - [SR ACCESSORIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/accessories/) - [Rogue Audio Apollo Dark Mono Amplifier](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/rogue-audio-apollo-dark-monoblock-amplifier/) - Rogue Audio Apollo Dark Monoblock Amplifier In the recent past we have quietly built some very special amplifiers for critical product launches.

This setup can be upgraded by adding the Taiko Audio Extreme Network Card and Extreme Network Switch to achieve a significant improvement in Sound Quality. To raise the bar even further, the user can add the Extreme Router to create an audio exclusive (isolated) network unimpaired by typical home network processes and traffic.The Router has a single WAN (“input”) network port which connects to your home network to provide internet access for the audio network. It has 3 separately configurable outputs, one of which connects to your music server or, preferably, the Extreme Switch. the 2 others can be used for additional desired connectivity, such as for example a dedicated wifi Access Point and/or a wired control computer.All networking parameters can be defined and thus allow full control over the data stream being delivered to the Taiko Audio Extreme Switch and/or Extreme Music Server. FeaturesOne SFP port that can accept a DAC cable.4 RJ45 ports of which 3 can be used when the DAC port is enabled.Ground terminal: M6, with hex 4mm screwdriver hole.The Router can be used to create a separate Audio-only network in series with (connected downstream of) your Internet Service Provider-supplied modem/router or any other router.Serve as a NAS (for music storage), 2 external USB drives can be connected. PowerA standard wall-wart power supply is included but the Router will sound better with a higher-end power supply. The ultimate solution would be to add the optional new to be released Extreme DC Power Distributor. This allows you to power both the Extreme Switch and Router from the same power supply while offering improved performance over 2 separate power supplies, especially when using a DAC cable to connect the Extreme Router to the Extreme Switch. - [Taiko Audio](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/taiko-audio/) - [Golden Ear SC 3D ARRAY XL Soundbar](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-sc-3d-array-xl-sdbr/) - Golden Ear SC 3D ARRAY XL SoundbarThe 3D Array XL soundbar incorporates eight of GoldenEar Technology’s spider-leg cast basket 4.5\" bass-midrange drivers with our unique Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs (MVPP™). In addition, there are three of GoldenEar’s extraordinary High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeters (HVFR™). The 3d Array soundbars utilize our patent pending, Mag-X Coupling™ Crossover Technology, which delivers improved 3D imaging as well as smoother response and greater detail. The 3D Array XL is an ideal match for 65\" and up TVs. The SuperCinema® 3D Array® soundbars are remarkable loudspeaker systems that combine the elegant form factor of a soundbar with the extraordinary sonic performance of a true discrete-speaker surround system. The aesthetically compelling visual appeal of a soundbar is undeniable. Unfortunately, both passive and active soundbars fail to achieve a truly convincing surround-sound experience when compared to a high-quality, fully discrete multi-channel surround system. GoldenEar Technology has developed a unique technology for our soundbar series that incorporates special 3D image optimization technology to achieve superbly lifelike, wide, deep 3D playback realism with virtually no acoustic coloration.This technology, pioneered by Sandy Gross, effectively addresses certain problems that have been brought up recently in a 3D audio research project being conducted by Dr. Edgar Choueiri at Princeton University. Dr. Choueiri points out that the crosstalk that exists between the left and right loudspeakers and our contralateral ears, especially when the left and right channels are minimally separated (as we normally encounter in soundbar systems), is deleterious to our brain\'s ability to fully experience and process the imaging cues so necessary for 3D imaging perception. These imaging cues are present in the recordings but dramatically corrupted in typical soundbar playback where the left and right channel speakers are simply too close together.The 3D Array Soundbar incorporates left-, center- and right-channel speakers, plus a second set of drivers that utilize 3D Array Technology to effectively cancel out this crosstalk distortion between the left and right channel. The result is a front soundstage that stretches from wall to wall and beyond, with amazing height, width and depth that effectively envelops the listeners in a true 180-degree soundfield, much wider than the actual physical soundbar! All this is contained within sleek, attractive 2.7\" thin enclosures that perfectly complements the latest super-thin flat panel TVs.The 3D Array soundbars are designed for use with a powered subwoofer - the GoldenEar ForceField Subwoofers are engineered to be the perfect high-performance match. - [VPI HW 40 Turntable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vpi-hw-40-turntable/) - VPI HW 40 Turntable Harry Weisfeld\'s 2012 \"Classic Direct\" direct drive turntable was an outstanding technical achievement, earning Stereophile Magazine\'s Class A+ rating.

AirTight continued to PC-1 Supreme, and in 2016, released Opus-1, a cartridge with totally renovated mechanical constructions and power train as our 30 years anniversary and a flagship model. Today, we are pleased to announce the debut of PC-1 coda, a new MC Cartridge pouring technologies and knowledges from our years of designing cartridges.Phono Cartridges pick up sensitive musical information from sub-micron grooves, and a body of cartridge that holds power generator/coils and magnets tremendously influences sound reproducing quality. From our very first PC-1 cartridge, AirTight has been using precisely machined metal cartridge bases for deeper lows and higher sounding resolution, and as the compilation of techniques, we implemented the Super Aluminum alloy A7075 which has one of the highest strengths in Aluminum alloys. Over the course of development, we tested many different types of alloys with higher strengths, frequency responses, and/or having a unique sound but we decided not to use such alloys as we believe that sound shall not be affected by the materials and should be selected purely from the aspect of true reproduction of music. The A7075 was selected as the alloy of choice for less sound coloration. We added Chrome coating in addition to thick 50 μ Nickel base coating to the alloy for deeper sound resolution.We are back-fitting this technology on PC-1 coda, and using the A7075 as a cartridge base alloy, giving sharper and speedy lows and clearer sound stage compared with its predecessor PC-1/PC-1s. We also fine-tuned the suspension mechanism from raw material for firm and high resolution sound images in atmosphere. As the same in the PC-1/PC-1s, \"Boron\" an alloy with good physical characteristics, has been used for Cantilever material. - [Airtight Opus 1](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/airtight-opus-1/) - Airtight Opus 1Top-of-the-line MC Phono CartridgeSecond-to-none, 3-dimensional imaging made available in the soundstageUnprecedented, sublime sonic balance achieved through years of research seeking the optimum ratio of internal impedance and voltage outputExclusive, renowned SH-uX core sealed in ultra-hard duralumin housing fortified by nickel plating - [Airtight PC-1 Supreme](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/airtight-pc-1-supreme-1/) - Airtight PC-1 SupremeOPTIMAL COMBINATION OF LOW IMPEDANCE & HIGH OUTPUTEpoch-making Hi-µ core material SH-µX recently developed offers high µ amount to realize high-efficiency magnetic circuitryThick wires help reduce winding Nos. in coil, thus achieving astounding low internal impedanceExpanded bandwidth & extended dynamic range present clearer life-like soundstage, whilst improvement in transient & phase characteristics reproduces ultra-heavy bass with highest resolutions - [MSB TECHNOLOGY DAC's](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/msb-technology-2/) - [SRX Phono Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/srx-phono-cable/) - SRX Phono CableSRX Phono is the last link in the SRX Cable Loom, and it may just be the most powerful. The geometry starts with separate pure silver Air Strings running in parallel with an engineered EM coupling between conductors, as this proved necessary for the electrical requirements of phono cartridges. We then added SRX Carbon Fiber Spacers to break EM coupling strategically, and this helped deliver the same ultra-low noise floor as all other SRX cables. At first, we experimented with a 100% exploded geometry as found in SRX interconnects and speaker cables, but this proved incompatible with many low output cartridges.So we built a closely spaced geometry similar to Galileo, but this proved incapable of significantly exceeding the Galileo SX Phono’s sonic signature. It was not until we combined a coupled and decoupled geometry with SRX Conditioning and a new UEF compound that we had a cable that dramatically improved on our prior reference. These improvements include a lower noise floor, greater separation of images in the sound field, a significant increase in soundstage scale, and improved low-frequency dynamics with tighter bass control. In addition, high frequencies extend more effortlessly and with enhanced musicality making our prior reference sound somewhat compressed in direct comparison.As a result, SRX Phono may be the single highest-performance cable we have ever built. It should be on the radar of any analog lover seeking the absolute highest performance. Available for a no-risk in-home audition from your participating SR dealer or international distributor.Now with Master Tuning Modules ($850/pair MSRP). SRX Cables come standard with the most potent and musical UEF Tuning Bullets in our company\'s 30-year history and work 100% outside the signal path. Both Gold and Silver bullets are handcrafted in our Southern California Factory from carbon fiber and aircraft aluminum with the Gold option plated in 24k Gold not only for aesthetic beauty but also to help voice the bullet to its intended role as the most musical option for specific systems.To use SRX Carbon Fiber Tuning Modules, allow your SRX cables to settle into your system for 48-72 hours, and then experiment with your two options on a cable by cable basis. Start by inserting a Gold Bullet and then compare to the Silver option and select the variant that makes music in your system.Gold Bullets have a warm and liquid balance that is also more open and transparent than our other warm-biased tuning bullets. While Silver is more extended and detailed but the option that will work best and sound neutral is totally system dependent. If you voice your SRX cables one pair at a time, you will find one color that works best in most applications, plus a few that perform better with the alternate option.This process is how you will get the best from both Gold and Silver bullets when arriving at a bespoke cable loom voiced for your unique system. - [SRX Digital Interconnect ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/srx-digital-interconnect-cable/) - SRX Digital InterconnectSRX Digital shares the same hallmarks as the rest of the SRX lineup.

IsoThermal TubeTraps are an improved TubeTrap that provides double absorbing power in the sub-bass range, below 60Hz and enhanced bass absorption up through middle C, or 260Hz.The IsoThermal TubeTrap includes the traditional, built in treble range diffuser to back scatter and diffuse the upper treble range back into the room and to also enhance development of fine-grained lateral ambience in the room. Combined with the extended and doubled low-frequency absorption range, the new ASC IsoThermal TubeTrap is the perfect upgrade to your high-end audio system because it helps get your listening room out of the way of your listening experience.We developed the IsoThermal TubeTrap to aggressively manage typical HiFi rear wall bounce phase-cancel effects. What we got was a major performance boost across the entire bass spectrum. And we did it without altering the fundamental voice of a TubeTrap.As with standard TubeTraps, larger diameter units reach to lower frequencies. However, with the IsoThermal upgrade, the operating frequency of each size TubeTrap has come to match that of the next model size larger, approximately. This means that if you previously used and loved the sonics of a 16″ TubeTrap, you can now replace your old tubes with new 13″ IsoThermal TubeTraps, with very similar voicing. Better yet, if you always wished you had the space in your room and money in your wallet to fill your corners with deep-breathing 20″ TubeTraps, now you can simply upgrade your system with 16″ IsoThermal TubeTraps to manage that 35 Hz rumble.What is the IsoThermal effect? The short story begins with the statement that when you compress gas, it heats up, while when it expands, it cools down. High pressure sounds entering the acoustic capacitor of a TubeTrap cause a rise in pressure, or compression. When the air pressure inside the TubeTrap reaches that of the ambient air outside it, the capacitor is essentially “full.” The air then cools off fairly rapidly due to thermal and hydraulic losses, and returns to low pressure, ready to be filled up again.The frequency of this “filling-up” is proportional to – you guessed it – the frequency of the sound. Therefore low frequency sounds “fill up” the capacitor much more quickly, due to the slowness with which they propagate through the media. A larger capacitor (think of a 24″ TubeTrap) takes the longest to fill, and so reaches the lowest frequencies.The conversion of the capacitive section of a TubeTrap into an isothermal vessel alters this behavior in a very beneficial way. The low-pressure air inside the capacitor is prevented from rising in temperature upon being subjected to a high-pressure pulse. Through this action, the effective size of the capacitor is increased by 40%, almost as though the IsoThermal TubeTrap is 40% larger than it appears! (This comparison is not quite accurate, since other factors come into play regarding the resistance of the absorptive material among various TubeTrap models, but it is a good approximation). - [Acoustic Sciences Corporation](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acoustic-sciences-corporation/) - [LYRA PHONO CARTRIDGES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra-phono-cartridges/) - [Ortofon MC A Mono Phono Cartridge](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ortofon-mc-a-mono-phono-cartridge/) - Ortofon MC A Mono The MC A Mono is a TRUE MONO cartridge for play-back of MONO recordings. If you play a MONO record with a stereo cartridge you will not achieve the same signal in the two channels due to imperfections such as crosstalk, noise, phase errors, tracking error, anti-skating and distortion. This difference between the channels will result in an unstable and partially fuzzy image. A mono switch, to some extent, can improve this.Playing MONO record with a TRUE MONO cartridge will have none of the aforementioned problems, as this cartridge only produces one signal, which afterwards is directed to both channels in the system. This will provide a much more forceful and stable image with a fuller sound.Another significant advantage of using a TRUE MONO cartridge to play MONO records is the absence of response to vertical movement. This means that a TRUE MONO cartridge is essentially impervious to the pinching effect which comes into action when the stylus is pushed vertically upward in very narrow grooves. In addition, the response to dust, dirt and wear will be reduced substantially as the vertical component will not be heard.The final result will be a much more clean and noiseless reproduction of the MONO record. These effects simply cannot be achieved merely by the use of a mono switch.Using Ortofon’s Aucurum coils of gold-plated, 6NX oxygen free copper allows for zero-loss transmission of the diamond’s movements via its boron cantilever. This combination combines low moving mass with an extremely high degree of rigidity.A specially designed armature is used to achieve extreme precision in each coil turn in all layers.This enables the MC A MONO to achieve a higher degree of channel separation, while simultaneously offering lower distortion and better channel balance. The armature is made in a metal alloy which is much less magnetic than normal iron, which boosts the dynamic capability of the cartridge. Coil wire protection has been constructed from our special high damping proprietary TPE (Thermo-Plastic Elastomer) material, which enhances the total damping properties of the cartridge.The magnet system is based on an extremely strong, compact neodymium magnet, which makes the generator system both compact and lighter through its minimal dimensions. Inspired by the elements of MC A95 design, the MC A MONO makes use of a specially designed armature comprised of a metal alloy which is much less magnetic than normal iron. This provides noteworthy benefit to the dynamic capabilities of the cartridge since the armature has almost no influence on the magnetic field during movement. When combined with the Aucurum coils, it delivers perfect reproduction of the cantilever movements without compromise. Any trace of remaining magnetic influences that would create distortion is prevented by the use of a Field Stabilizing Element (FSE). Ortofon’s FSE, a small cylinder of conductive material strategically placed inside the magnet system, guarantees that the force field remains stable regardless of the movement of the armature. FSE improves the channel separation, while at the same time minimizing dynamic distortion and intermodulation.Adding to the list of important components is Ortofon’s Wide Range Damping (WRD) system. In this system, a small, heavy platinum disc is sandwiched between two rubber absorbers, both with different properties. This ensures not only an exceptional tracking performance, but also creates a perfect damping through the entire frequency spectrum. Because of this, distortion and resonance are virtually eliminated entirely.The WRD system, which was originally introduced in the MC 20 Mk II in 1979 and then was also consequently used in the entire Exclusives series cartridges, is one significant reason why the MC A MONO, while achieving the most linear frequency response and the highest upper frequency limit ever, at the same time tracks a fantastic 90 μm at a vertical tracking force of 2.3 grams. Ortofon Replicant 100 - the Finest Diamond in the World One of the preconditions for linear reproduction with a wide frequency range and optimal tracking performance is a diamond - the shape of which is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus. As in the entire Exclusives series cartridges, the MC A MONO makes use of Ortofon’s Replicant 100 diamond, known for its thin and light profile and extraordinarily large contact surface.Since the Replicant 100 is closest to the shape of the cutting stylus, it can trace with accuracy unparalleled by any other needle in existence. Special polishing of the diamond along with the use of a Boron cantilever offer remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness beyond that of any other combination. - [Ortofon Xpression Phono Cartridge](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ortofon-xpression-phono-cartridge/) - Ortofon XpressionThe state of the art product, the Ortofon Xpression represents a combination of three elements very characteristic for Ortofon:The cutting edge SLM materials technology pioneered by the MC A90 and SPU 90th AnniversaryModification of the generator system introduced with the MC A90 andthe MC WindfeldOrtofon design tradition Utilizing these three elements we created a new product in order to support our customers of the SPU cartridges and Ortofon tonearms.The Xpression cartridge bridges the gap between the SPU-type cartridges and High-End cartridges like the MC A90 and the MC Windfeld designed for head-shell mounting. The result is a high-performance moving coil cartridge with the convenience of a standard head-shell connector, which provides a simple and elegant method of directly connecting the generator and tonearm via the Xpression’s one-piece body.Since the cartridge length is identical to that of an SPU, the Xpression can easily be fitted onto tonearms without additional concern for proper alignment. The cartridge height is likewise identical to the SPU height, which makes further VTA adjustments unnecessary. The length of the cartridge ensures proper match with the SME-mount type tonearms, e.g. SME, Grace, Fidelity Research, SAEC and Micro Seiki brands.Additionally, the mass and compliance properties of the Xpression ensure that a proper match will be achieved with any SPU-compatible arm. The Xpression can ideally be combined with the TA-110 and TA-210 tonearms. The combination of Xpression, TA-110/TA-210 and ST-80 SE MC transformer gives a supreme experience! - [Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti Phono Cartridge](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/ortofon-mc-windfeld-ti-phono-cartridge/) - Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti The MC Windfeld Ti Technology The MC Windfeld Ti phono cartridge was introduced in 2017 as a continuous tribute to Ortofon\'s former engineer Mr. Windfeld and optimization of the MC Windfeld model launched in 2008.

We started with a new chassis machined from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum for a 50% slimmer and 80% more rigid chassis. We then experimented with new laminates and arrived at carbon fiber for its superior response to mechanical and airborne vibrations. We then applied our most advanced EM Cell technology directly transferred from our Galileo SX PowerCell. Finally, its internal UEF Technology was transferred from our new state-of-the-art SRX cable loom. The net result is a thinner and more rigid Tranquility Base with a lower noise floor from which springs improved dynamics and sound-staging combined with smoother, more extended high frequencies.Tranquility Base history. Shortly after launching our first PowerCell line conditioner, our lead designer began work on a new application for his then new patent-pending EM Cell technology. It was early 2010, and Ted had the idea for an Electromagnetic Cell Field-Effect Conditioner capable of conditioning signal inside a component. First, we developed several flat EM Cells for placement below components running tests on multiple variants until we perfected an EM Cell capable of improving any component. We then experimented with different laminates engineered to cancel mechanical vibrations selecting the option that created the best sound quality.The first Tranquility Base was launched at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in late 2012. Three years later, we refreshed the Tranquility Base lineup in 2015 with the addition of UEF Technology. We have been building Tranquility Bases continuously since 2012 with minor running improvements along the way, but with no major overhaul or change to the fundamental design for the past decade, until now. - [Tesla Plex](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/tesla-plex/) - Tesla Plex The TeslaPlex SE AC outlet has been a cornerstone in our PowerCell Line Conditioner\'s legacy.

Purifi Eigentakt AmplificationThe Masters M28 uses Eigentakt™ amplifier technology, manufactured by NAD in license from Purifi. This new technology, which NAD was the first to embrace for the M33 Masters Series Streaming Amplifier, adds another level of precision by taking into account previously unknown effects of the output filter in the feedback loop and further refinement of the self-oscillating Class D technology as used by previous NAD Hybrid Digital designs. The result is a performance level that approaches the theoretical limit in measured performance, be it at whispering levels or at full power.In common with the previous generations of NAD Hybrid Digital technology but unlike most class D amplifier designs, the M28 is impervious to the loudspeaker load it is presented with, maintaining the same wide and even bandwidth response irrespective of the speaker’s impedance and at the same time providing high current capability. The continuous 200W into 8 ohms on tap for all channels driven at the same time and 700W dynamic power into 4 ohms is testament to this.Inherent to the Eigentakt™ technology is its very analogue-like behaviour in the unlikely event the amplifier is driven into clipping. Whereas many class D designs can become unstable, Eigentakt™ behaves in a way similar to the benign way of clipping with instant recovery of well executed traditional class A/B amplifiers.The sonic character of the M28 only reinforces the story told by the numbers. This is an amazingly powerful and transparent amplifier bringing new levels of refinement and dynamics at any level. Fully Balanced AudioThe same efficient audio interface used by studios provides the highest level of signal integrity with the lowest noise floor.Locking connectors and special interface electronics allow long cable runs without noise pickup or signal loss. All you get is awesome sound without the possibility of noise pickup or interference. Effortless PowerAs our most powerful amplifier ever, the M28 can pump out over 700W into difficult loads to follow complex dynamic peaks in your movies and music. Everything from rim shots to asteroid explosions sound remarkably real and immersive.The M28 has power reserves to meet the demands of the latest high-resolution digital soundtracks.

The driver complement consists of two newly-designed seven-inch woofers, Magico\'s famous proprietary six-inch Nano-Tec® midrange, and a Diamond Coated Beryllium diaphragm tweeter. - [Magico M9](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/magico-m9/) - Magico M9 A summation of our no-holds-barred assault on the limits of dynamic loudspeaker design, the new Magico M9 establishes new benchmarks in musicality, transparency, and fidelity. This four-way, six-driver floor standing system features the world’s first loudspeaker enclosure to combine inner and outer skins of carbon fiber with a revolutionary aluminum honeycomb core. Included with the M9 is a state-of-the-art analog outboard active crossover, the MXO. Designed in-house, this carefully crafted unit handles bass/midbass frequency separation.In addition, the M9 benefits from our latest generation of Nano-Tec speaker cones, featuring Aluminum honeycomb cores. The result is a revelation, a loudspeaker that can present intense crescendos with unconstrained power yet reproduce the most delicate musical passages with transparency and stunning micro dynamic detail. Controlling cabinet vibration without storing energy remains one of the greatest challenges in loudspeaker design. Our quest for the ultimate in enclosures has driven us to pursue the latest in materials science, computerized modeling and meticulous assembly. The M9 represents a new milestone in that journey: the world’s first loudspeaker enclosure with carbon fiber inner and outer skins over an aluminum honeycomb core. This technology reduces overall weight yet doubles the structural stiffness.The enclosure also incorporates our latest application of constrained layer damping using aerospace composites, plus familiar features of Magico construction including a baffle board of 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and front-to-back tensioning rods.Using Finite Element Analysis modeling, we calibrated the organic shaped enclosure to suppress unwanted resonances and reduce diffraction effects to near zero with a carefully machined aluminum front baffle. Sound waves from the drivers propagate without obstruction resulting in a sound field that replicates the recording space. The M9 has a commanding physical presence however sonically, it completely vanishes.Magico has long recognized that the bending and flexing of non-pistonic motion in a soft dome tweeter leads to large-scale distortion. The new tweeter in the M9 features an even more refined 28 mm Beryllium-diamond dome tweeter. The incredibly stiff and light weight Beryllium dome is enhanced with diamond which is carefully applied by chemical vapor deposition. This enabled us to develop the world’s first 28 mm Beryllium dome with improved performance without the weight penalty that diamond normally incurs. The new drive unit delivers high-frequency reproduction of extraordinary accuracy with micro dynamics of even greater subtlety, revealing musical detail with even greater clarity.Every cone in the M9 incorporates our eighth generation Nano-Tec design which introduces the world’s first Aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between Graphene/carbon fiber skins. The Aluminum honeycomb supersedes previous designs and provides a core material so stiff that 26,500 pounds (12,000 kg) of pressure is required to shape the 15-inch cones. This added stiffness pushes resonant frequencies far beyond audibility, requiring hardly any damping at all. Graphene, the hallmark of the Nano-Tec cones, is a hexagonal lattice of carbon just one atom thick. Graphene combines incredible stiffness with the highest tensile strength of any material known to science – some 40 times that of carbon steel.The eighth-generation refinements provide unprecedented strength results in the closest ever approach to pure pistonic motion. As a cone driver plays intense musical peaks, voice coil temperatures can climb over 100° F (40° C) in a single second. Heat can double the voice coil’s DC resistance, alter the frequency response curve, and compress the music as much as 3 dB – a substantial nonlinearity. The M9 drivers overcome these distortions with oversized vented voice coils (3,4 and 5 inches in diameter) that are formed of pure Titanium for increased stiffness, resistance to eddy currents, greater cone control and faster heat dissipation. Magico Nano-Tec drivers exercise absolute control over voice coil movement by providing underhung voice coils in a magnetic circuit of tremendous power. Uncommonly large Neodymium ring magnets with 16 times the magnetic energy per unit volume of Ferrite form the motor system. An extra measure against asymmetry, the drivers deploy a matching magnet on top which enables distortion-free output up to 120 dB SPL at 1 meter.The new 6-inch midrange (x1) features a 3-inch voice coil to help maintain linear output all the way to 120 dB SPL at 1 meter. This results in unmeasurably low distortion throughout the driver’s operating range.The new 11-inch mid bass driver (x2) features a 4-inch voice coil with a N48H grade Neodymium ring magnet of unusual size: 120 mm diameter x 8 mm height, plus a second matching magnet on top for complete control of voice coil movement. The new 15-inch bass driver (x2) features a 5-inch voice coil with an uncommonly long 36 mm air gap that facilitates tremendous linear excursion, ±15 mm, at high sensitivity.The M9 drivers represent true state of the art and are the most advanced dynamic driver designs ever offered by Magico.The new Magico Analog Crossover (MXO) was designed in-house from our own platform to manage the crossover frequency between the 15-inch bass and 11-inch mid-bass drivers. At such a low frequency, a passive crossover would require huge inductors and capacitors which would incur substantial losses. The meticulous design of the MXO has fully balanced and discrete circuit topology with Linkwitz-Riley filters to deliver steep 24 dB per octave slopes at the crossover frequency of 120 Hz. Precision step attenuators provide 0.5 dB/step control of each output, using a proprietary technique to ensure purity in the signal path. Open architecture accommodates additional filter topologies. The external power supply chassis regenerates AC and applies active regulation to every part of the circuitry.A pair of M9 loudspeakers requires two stereo or four monaural amplifiers. The M9 tweeter, midrange and mid-bass drivers are controlled by a three-way passive crossover with acoustical target 24 dB-per-octave Linkwitz-Riley filters. Magico’s elliptical symmetry crossover design preserves maximum frequency bandwidth with minimal IM distortion. - [Magico M3](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/magico-m3/) - Magico M3 In 2014 the introduction of the limited edition M-Project provided a glimpse of the cutting edge designs and advanced technologies that were being developed at Magico. Over the past two years intense research has been dedicated to exploring new methodologies and materials which are now incorporated in the Magico M3. A new carbon fiber side panel design, an all-graphene midrange and bass driver design, and the phenomenal 28mm diamond coated beryllium tweeter, previously found only in the M-Project, all come together in what is the most sophisticated loudspeaker we have ever created.An internal three-axis matrix framework in the M3 contributes to an extremely rigid enclosure and eliminates unwanted resonances and colorations, allowing all drivers to perform with stunning resolution and dynamics.The M3 midrange driver operates in a purpose built sub-enclosure made of a proprietary polymer that enhances midrange control and articulation. This sub-enclosure concept was first used in the S3 and is now applied to our more recent 3-way speaker designs.The M3 incorporates the Diamond coated Beryllium diaphragm tweeter (28-mm) used in the MPro. The optimized geometry and the Diamond coating on the Beryllium aligns the acoustical properties closer to perfection without adding extra weight of a full Diamond dome, this revolutionary tweeter design offers a near perfect weight to stiffness ratio that is unmatched in the industry. The new tweeter provides extra-long excursion movement and uses a neodymium based motor system that is customized to match the sensitivity and power handling capabilities of the M3 while maintaining ultra-wide dispersion characteristics and ultra-low distortion measurements.Magico is the world’s first manufacturer to utilize graphene in the development of a radically new and advanced loudspeaker cone design. Graphene has many extraordinary properties and is approximately 100 times stronger than the strongest steel. The newly designed Magico six-inch midrange and seven-inch bass driver cones found in the M3 are both manufactured using Multi-Wall carbon XG Nanographene and an ultra-stiff proprietary new carbon weave which is 20% lighter and 300% stiffer than previous cone material we used in Magico loudspeaker offerings.A contributing element to the stunning overall sound performance of the M3 is the application of the MPOD. The MPOD is based on the scientific principles of Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) which are well documented and in our opinion, the most effective way to channel unwanted vibrations away from a component and its platform.Operating under massive weight the MPOD is a noise channeling system that effectively dissipates resonance while maintaining ultimate coupling properties to the floor resulting in remarkable sonic results. M3’s ordered with the MPOD 3-Pt Stand come with a beautifully appointed case that includes six MPOD’s and a professional grade torque wrench that allows for periodic maintenance of the internal tension rods. - [Magico M2](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/magico-m2/) - Magico M2 Our materials science research in the properties and applications of carbon allows the M2 to feature a new monocoque enclosure. Similar in construction technique introduced in the M6, it is formed using multiple layers of carbon fiber adding up to a 3/8” thickness. Similar to the external shell of an F-35 fighter jet, this enclosure construction compared to machined or extruded aluminum parts increases the structural strength-to-weight ratio by a factor of 60, while reducing overall weight by 50% and yielding outer dimensions that are 30% smaller without compromising internal volume. The curved interior and exterior walls minimize internal standing waves and eliminate external diffractions.An internal three-axis matrix framework along with three tension rods running front to back internally contribute to an extremely rigid enclosure which eliminates unwanted resonances and colorations, allowing all drivers to perform with stunning resolution and dynamics. All four drivers in the M2 are acoustically integrated using Magico’s exclusive Elliptical Symmetry Crossover topology (24 dB Linkwitz-Riley) that includes state-of-the-art components from Mundorf of Germany. A purpose built sub-enclosure formed of a proprietary polymer material houses the midrange driver to optimize the control and articulation of mid-band frequencies and provides protection from the massive back wave pressure of the bass drivers. Midrange sub-enclosures using different shapes, sizes and materials have been implemented throughout the history of Magico 3-way loudspeaker designs.The M2 incorporates the Diamond coated Beryllium diaphragm tweeter (28-mm) used in the M3 and M6. The optimized geometry and the Diamond coating on the Beryllium aligns the acoustical properties closer to perfection without adding extra weight of a full Diamond dome, this revolutionary tweeter design offers a near perfect weight to stiffness ratio that is unmatched in the industry. The new tweeter provides extra-long excursion movement and uses a neodymium based motor system that is customized to match the sensitivity and power handling capabilities of the M2 while maintaining ultra-wide dispersion characteristics and ultra-low distortion measurements. Magico is the world’s first manufacturer to utilize graphene in the development of a radically new and advanced loudspeaker cone design. Graphene has many extraordinary properties and is approximately 100 times stronger than the strongest steel.The newly designed Magico six-inch midrange and seven-inch bass driver cones found in the M2 are both manufactured using Multi-Wall carbon XG Nanographene and an ultra-stiff proprietary new carbon weave which is 20% lighter and 300% stiffer than previous cone material we used in Magico loudspeaker offerings.Two seven-inch M2 bass drivers are vertically aligned to achieve ideal room integration and reproduce the lowest registers of bass frequency with speed and accuracy. The M2 bass drivers are optimized for minimal music related distortions in the frequency and time domain using the latest state-of-the-art FEA simulation.A contributing element to the stunning overall sound performance of the M2 is the application of the MPOD. The MPOD is based on the scientific principles of Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) which are well documented and in our opinion, the most effective way to channel unwanted vibrations away from a component and its platform. Operating under massive weight the MPOD is a noise channeling system that effectively dissipates resonance while maintaining ultimate coupling properties to the floor resulting in remarkable sonic results. M2’s ordered with the MPOD 3-Pt Stand come with a beautifully appointed case that includes six MPOD’s and a professional grade torque wrench that allows for periodic maintenance of the internal tension rods. - [M Rack](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/m-rack/) - M Rack Over the past fifteen years countless amplifiers, DACs, servers, transports, turntables, and cables have passed through the Magico listening room during the development stages of over two dozen loudspeaker models. A cornerstone product that has stood the test of time in all our loudspeaker creations is the Magico MRACK equipment stand. The MRACK was originally designed for our own internal R&D to maximize the overall system performance. Employing the culmination of knowledge accrued in resonance control and energy dissipation featured in the Q-Series, M-Series, and all POD products; the most acoustically resolving and structurally inert audio equipment stand is now available to the public. The MRACK is available in a three or four shelf version and finished in a black anodized aluminum that is elegant and durable. Each shelf weighs 80-pounds and is formed with five layers of constrained-layer-damped aluminum, copper and ISODAMP elastomer which is designed to capture unwanted mechanical resonances and dissipate that energy into heat. The vertical side struts of the MRACK include the same constrained layer damping architecture as each shelf and are coupled to the floor with the renowned Magico MPOD. The MRACK isolates each component in the hostile environment of a listening room and dramatically improves resolution, imaging, and soundstage like you have never heard before.A full-length pure copper grounding rod is featured on the MRACK which allows each shelf and component to be grounded and funnel noise away from the electronics. The MRACK also includes two machined aluminum rings on each elevated shelf for enhanced cable management and reduced tension on IEC connections with heavier cables.s, greater cone control and faster heat dissipation. - [M Pod](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/m-pod/) - M-Pod Magico’s noise channeling support system for medium to heavy loads. Many have already experienced the significant sonic improvements with the Magico QPOD placed under light-to medium-weight components. Magico engineers have now succeeded in designing the larger MPOD with these same philosophies for ideal noise reduction and floor coupling characteristics under greater loads.The design of the MPOD is based on the scientific principles of Constrained Layer Damping (CLD), an extremely effective way to channel unwanted vibrations away from a component and its platform. The robust-yet-elegant MPOD is comprised of multiple machined aircraft-aluminum and tungsten steel parts that, when assembled, form a vertical stack. A solid pure-copper substrate center section is sandwiched by a top and bottom layer of ISODAMP a thermoplastic material that, when compressed against the copper substrate, facilitates the constrained layer damping function and dissipates unwanted energy virtually immediately.Prior to installation the top and bottom halves of the MPOD are held apart by a center spindle and pull-pin. Once the MPOD is installed the removal of the pull-pin engages the CLD properties of the MPOD. Once the pin is removed, no hardware is connected between the top and bottom part of the MPOD, effectively “floating” the component placed on it. The results: increased resolution, more focused imaging and improved soundstage.The threaded coupling stud on the MPOD is designed as an upgrade to replace the existing footer on the Magico M3, Q7, Q7MkII, M-Project, and S7, as well as being supplied as the standard foot for our M6. The audible benefits of the MPOD will also be realized underneath heavier components such as amplifiers, without using the threaded coupling stud. - [Lilium](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lilium/) - YouTube - Sonus Faber Lilium Sonus Faber LiliumTHE SONUS FABER SIGNATURE STYLE The idea of the dual curvature of the cabinet sides, firstly conceptualized with the Sonus faber and evolved in Aida, is here enhanced thanks to a new design that reinvents the ``lyra`` outline merging two separate identities that cooperate inside the same shape.

Our unique linear-phase crossover network employs a fully balanced topology which reduces stray capacitances for dramatically improved clarity. It utilizes precision film capacitors and special internal wiring to perfectly blend the drivers for a seamless homogeneous sound.There are three separate internal chambers: a larger one in the center which contains two 5-1/4˝ drivers which run up to meet the tweeter and are coupled to the larger, 7˝ x 10˝ passive radiator in the center, and two smaller ones which each contain a special 5-1/4˝ driver engineered for low frequency response, which runs up to 500 Hz, and is coupled to one of the smaller, 6-3/4˝ x 8˝ passives. - [Golden Ear SC 3D Array X Soundbar](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-sc-3d-array-x-sdbar/) - Golden Ear SC 3D Array X Soundbar The 3D Array X soundbar incorporates six of GoldenEar Technology’s spider-leg cast basket 4.5\" bass-midrange drivers with our unique Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs (MVPP™). In addition, there are three of GoldenEar’s extraordinary High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeters (HVFR™). The 3D Array X is an ideal match for 48\"- 60\" TVs.The SuperCinema® 3D Array® soundbars are remarkable loudspeaker systems that combine the elegant form factor of a soundbar with the extraordinary sonic performance of a true discrete-speaker surround system. The aesthetically compelling visual appeal of a soundbar is undeniable. Unfortunately, both passive and active soundbars fail to achieve a truly convincing surround-sound experience when compared to a high-quality, fully discrete multi-channel surround system. GoldenEar Technology has developed a unique technology for our soundbar series that incorporates special 3D image optimization technology to achieve superbly lifelike, wide, deep 3D playback realism with virtually no acoustic coloration.This technology, pioneered by Sandy Gross, effectively addresses certain problems that have been brought up recently in a 3D audio research project being conducted by Dr. Edgar Choueiri at Princeton University. Dr. Choueiri points out that the crosstalk that exists between the left and right loudspeakers and our contralateral ears, especially when the left and right channels are minimally separated (as we normally encounter in soundbar systems), is deleterious to our brain\'s ability to fully experience and process the imaging cues so necessary for 3D imaging perception. These imaging cues are present in the recordings but dramatically corrupted in typical soundbar playback where the left and right channel speakers are simply too close together.The 3D Array Soundbar incorporates left-, center- and right-channel speakers, plus a second set of drivers that utilize 3D Array Technology to effectively cancel out this crosstalk distortion between the left and right channel. The result is a front soundstage that stretches from wall to wall and beyond, with amazing height, width and depth that effectively envelops the listeners in a true 180-degree soundfield, much wider than the actual physical soundbar! All this is contained within sleek, attractive 2.7\" thin enclosures that perfectly complements the latest super-thin flat panel TVs.The 3D Array soundbars are designed for use with a powered subwoofer - the GoldenEar ForceField Subwoofers are engineered to be the perfect high-performance match. - [Golden Ear Force Field 40 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-force-field-40-subwoofer/) - Golden Ear Force Field 40 SubwooferClean, Awesome Power to Touch Your Soul GoldenEar’s award-winning ForceField Series subwoofers are engineered from the ground up to deliver subtle musical detail, well-extended bass, high-impact slam, and the solid foundation for an expansive soundstage — all from attractive, compact enclosures that easily fit into any environment. The design brief was simple: achieve uncompromising, state-of-the-art subwoofer performance from the smallest-possible enclosures. Compared to previous models, the new ForceFields 30 and 40 boast several significant sonic and cosmetic refinements.The flagship of our ForceField Series, the mighty ForceField 40 features one 10” ultra-long-throw high-output bass driver, one 11” x 13” downward-firing passive radiator, and a 1200W ForceField digital amplifier.

With the new ForceField 30 and ForceField 40, we’ve achieved the GoldenEar mandates for any subwoofer: To be subtle and invisible, allowing a string bass or a fighter jet’s roar to seem to come out of nowhere. To un-ignorably do its job when the pluck of a bass guitar or a giant’s footsteps are supposed to rumble your soul. - [Golden Ear Force Field 4 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-force-field-4-subwoofer/) - Golden Ear ForceField 4 Ultra-Compact Extended-Response Subwoofer The compact 10 inch subwoofer ForceField 4 incorporates the same 1200-watt digital amp developed for the Triton Two. It drives a front-mounted high-power ultra-long-throw 10” sub-bass driver coupled to a downward-firing 11”x 13-7/8” quadratic planar infrasonic radiator.GoldenEar’s™ award-winning ForceField subwoofers have been engineered from the ground up to combine subtle musical detail with earth-shaking high-impact power; all in attractive, compact enclosures which blend well into any environment. GoldenEar’s engineering team has the benefit of over 20 years experience designing some of the world’s best sounding, most highly reviewed and best-selling powered subwoofers. Paramount in their design goals was the importance of not sacrificing sound quality in order to achieve unrealistic size goals.But just as key was the importance of compact size that did not make the subwoofers any larger than necessary in order to achieve uncompromising, state-of-the-art, sonic performance. You will instantly see and hear how well these seemingly conflicting goals were brilliantly both achieved with the combination of creative thinking and cutting-edge engineering prowess.Of course, to achieve a tour de force like the ForceFields, the basic concept is absolutely key. The ForceFields all combine high-power forward-radiating ultra-long-throw sub-bass drivers coupled to downward-firing quadratic planar infrasonic radiators. This brings together the superior transient response and detail of moderately sized active drivers with the subsonic capability and extraordinary room-filling coupling of large diaphragm radiators. In fact the radiators, in combination with the slot-loading to the floor, approximate the near perfect impedance match to the air of a well-tuned transmission line. This combination is also very flexible in terms of room-placement requirements.Next, the engineering team spent countless hours developing a unique high-power (FF 4–1200 Watts & FF 3–1000 Watts) DSP controlled class D digital amplifier. This sophisticated amp has a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) based state machine with a nearly instantaneous 278 nano-second update time, to perfectly manage a myriad of functions including: soft-clipping, DC offset control, output-stage anti-saturation protection and discrete multi-band limiting. The DSP control also allows for very precise equalization. In addition, intrinsic THD is extremely low, so very little negative feedback is required, thus ensuring optimum transient performance.Finally, a unique cabinet shape was chosen, both for its undeniable aesthetic appeal, as well as its performance enhancing attributes. The non-parallel cabinet walls dramatically cut down and help control internal reflections, as well as stiffen the cabinet structure itself. The end result is stunning impact, superbly musical bass articulation and breathtaking infrasonic capabilities that can powerfully pressurize a room in a way that leaves listeners breathless. The unique achievement of the ForceFields means they can bring the power of T Rex into your living room, as well as the musical subtlety of YoYo Ma or Sting. - [Golden Ear Force Field 30 Subwoofer](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-force-field-30-subwoofer/) - Golden Ear Force Field 30 SubwooferClean, Awesome Power to Touch Your Soul GoldenEar’s award-winning ForceField Series subwoofers are engineered from the ground up to deliver subtle musical detail, well-extended bass, high-impact slam, and the solid foundation for an expansive soundstage — all from attractive, compact enclosures that easily fit into any environment.

The tweeter is the Reference High-Gauss High-Velocity Folded Ribbon. The two drivers are perfectly blended with a unique “balanced crossover”. A pair of inertially balanced 6.5” planar infrasonic radiators are located on either side of the cabinet for tight, quick, powerful bass response. The beautifully styled cabinet is luxuriously finished in hand-rubbed piano black lacquer.The BRX delivers superior reference level performance for both two channel as well as home theater systems of the highest quality, with extraordinary three-dimensional imaging and high-resolution clarity. The BRX and Aon 3 bookshelf speakers are exceptionally compact, ultra-high-performance speakers that were originally developed for use as near-field monitors in professional mixing applications.The design goal was to produce modestly-sized shelf or stand-mountable bookshelf speakers that would achieve accurate high-definition sonic reproduction, with superb three-dimensional imaging, comparable to that achieved by GoldenEar’s award-winning Triton Towers.The BRX was specifically developed incorporating technology developed for the Triton Reference in order to achieve reference level performance. Although they don’t have quite the awe-inspiring bass of the floor-standing Tritons, great care has been taken, and extensive technology has been incorporated, to ensure that the BRX and Aons can deliver a remarkably satisfying full range listening experience without the need for a separate subwoofer. - [Golden Ear AON 3](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-aon-3/) - Golden Ear AON 3 The compact, 14\" Tall Aon 3 Bookshelf Monitor incorporates a 7\", High-Definition, Multi-Vaned Phase Plug (MVPP™), cast-basket Mid-Bass Driver, coupled to two 8\" Inertially-balanced side-mounted Low Frequency Radiators and the GoldenEar High-Velocity Folded Ribbon Tweeter (HVFR™).The Aon 2 and 3 are exceptionally compact, ultra-high performance bookshelf speakers that were originally developed for use as near-field monitors in professional mixing applications.

Electronics, speakers, and cables were simply not as advanced as they are today. In fact, speaker cables were little more than unshielded 16ga lamp cord made from cheap copper with poor dielectrics - so doubling up on zip wire was better than nothing.For today\'s high-end speakers to perform their best it\'s absolutely critical they be fed a phase correct signal where all frequencies are in perfect phase alignment across the frequency spectrum. When signal is split between higher and lower frequencies in separate cable runs, phase distortion is inevitable. IFT provides speed, PRAT(Pace, Rhythm, and Timing) and high frequency extension in perfect alignment with low frequencies better than any bi-wire cable geometry can. - [Galileo Discovery Digital Interconnect ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/galileo-discovery-digital-interconnect-cable/) - Galileo Discovery Digital Interconnect Galileo SX Digital cables start with our most sophisticated digital geometries including Pure Silver AirStrings handmade in our California factory and Silver Matrix Tricon geometries running in parallel.

SAM® - Speaker Active MatchingFrom a mathematical model of your speakers, SAM® Speaker Active Matching enables your Expert Pro to adapt accurately the signal transmitted to them. For the first time, it is then possible to obtain a perfect time alignment between the recorded signal and the sound pressure generated by the speaker drivers to achieve the emotional power of music; just as the artist intended.SAM® is an electro-acoustic revolution. For the first time ever, Devialet SAM technology guarantees a seamless match between your amplifier and connected speakers. Almost all multi-way loudspeakers generate delay caused by the bass diaphragm reacting slower to the audio signal than the tweeter does. Mechanical and technical measures help to minimize delay that would otherwise disrupt the evenness and spatial quality of sound. Preliminary laboratory work carried out via SAM® Lab enables us to identify sixty or more different parameters per speaker model.SAM® analyzes transducer characteristics using laser technology. These include displacement, deformation, maximum displacement, speed and acceleration. By measuring passive filters, we can determine resonance (event bass-reflex and passive radiators) while factoring in the overall impact of casing and damping. Once this data is compiled, SAM® is able to produce a full physical behavioral model. The collected data also allows us to calculate the transducer SOA (Safe Operating Area). By doing so, SAM® offers permanent protection from overload, letting users reach higher volumes than ever before.Similar to transfer function, this physical model is inverted in real time using digital signal processing technology before digital-analog conversion occurs. The result: acoustic pressure in the air perfectly matches the signal registered by microphones during the recording process.

The same holds for audio interconnects and speaker cables, while people who have listened know better. But what about DC? Surely, DC is just DC, right? Wrong. We’ve known for years that DC cables affect the sound of active components like Tranquility Bases and Tranquility PODs.So we set out to build the ultimate DC cable capable of transforming the performance of Active Synergistic Research components with the same newly developed technologies found in our Galileo Discovery and SRX level power cords. We start with a pure 99.9999% silver monofilament conductor in an air dielectric hand made in our California factory and add UEF Technology first developed for SRX level power cords and then apply a long duration high voltage conditioning process also designed for the SRX cable loom.The net result is a DC cable that dramatically improves the audible performance of SR components when spanning between our new UEF Linear Power Supplies and DC-powered Synergistic Research components. We even developed a special DC cable voiced for the Roon Nucleus Server, and we included a UEF Gold Carbon Tuning Disc so you can fine-tune the performance of your Nucleus to match the overall balance of your system.

To make this the ultimate Atmosphere SX power cord we employ all advanced SR power cord technologies including, Active Shielding, the option to ground its shield to a star ground point or SR Ground Block, and Galileo SX tuning bullets for a bespoke sonic match to your system.All conductors, wall and IEC connectors, shields, and the same Swiss-Made power supply found in our Galileo SX power cords are further treated with a proprietary process to improve frequency smoothness with increased resolution. Sonically Euphoria SX High Current is voiced to express a sonic balance similar to our Galileo SX power cords through the use of Copper Matrix Alloys, 6-9 Silver conductors in a complex geometry array comprised of three hand-made Air String geometries and three High Current geometries running in parallel.In addition, Active Shielding gets its power from a Swiss Made power supply feeding the shields and an Active EM Cell that was first developed for Galileo SX power cords to function as discrete PowerCell line conditioners. We then voiced the power cords internally with new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs exclusively engineered for Atmosphere SX cables to push resolution boundaries without harshness or limitations.Lastly, you can voice Euphoria SX High Current with included Galileo SX Gold and Silver UEF Tuning bullets. First, listen to your power cord without a tuning bullet for 48 to 72 hours allowing the cable to settle into your system. Then compare the Gold and Silver Galileo SX Tuning Bullet on each of your Euphoria SX power cords, choosing the option that makes music in your system.Tip: very few systems, if any, benefits from all one color or another. Most systems will sound best with a majority of either Gold or Silver bullets, but with a component or two that perform best with the opposite color. Galileo SX Gold Tuning Bullets capture warmer sound with liquidity over pinpoint spatial detail. Galileo SX Silver Tuning Bullets are detailed and dynamic with a pinpoint focus at the expense of liquidity.All systems benefit from a majority of either Gold or Silver with a component or two that will sound best with the other option. Tuning individual cables with Galileo SX Tuning Bullets achieves the best sound characteristics of both Gold and Silver with a bespoke balance unique to your system. - [Atmosphere SX Subwoofer Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/atmosphere-sx-subwoofer-cable/) - Atmosphere SX Subwoofer Cable Atmosphere SX Subwoofer cables may be the entry point into Atmosphere SX; still, it has the performance to unseat cables costing several times as much and does so with lifelike three-dimensionality other cables cannot match.Atmosphere SX Subwoofer starts with 5th Generation Silver Matrix Geometries and applies a new High-Frequency Long Duration Conditioning Signal first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom. The same conditioning process that makes our new Purple Fuses the world’s highest performance competing with fuses costing thousands of dollars.We then voiced Atmosphere SX Subwoofer cables with new internal Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs placed strategically along the cable geometry and connectors to improve resolution while making the cable more musical and without harshness despite increasing high-frequency resolution and air. - [Atmosphere SX Reference Subwoofer Cable](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/atmosphere-sx-reference-subwoofer-cable/) - Atmosphere SX Reference Subwoofer Cable Atmosphere SX Reference Subwoofer interconnects start with 5th Generation Tricon Silver Matrix geometries running in parallel with Silver Air String geometries featuring pure 6-9’s, silver conductors, in an Air Dialectric hand-made in our California factory. We utilize the same High-Frequency Long Duration Conditioning Process originally developed for our state-of-the-art SRX cable loom. The same conditioning process that makes our Purple Fuses the world’s highest performance and surpassing fuses costing several thousands of dollars.To lower your system’s noise floor and to improve cable shield performance, Atmosphere SX Reference Subwoofer cable is engineered to divert noise picked up on the cable’s shield to a house-ground with the included wall connector. To lower your system’s noise floor further, connect the cable shields to a Synergistic Research Ground Block or Active Ground Block. Exclusively developed for Atmosphere SX are small Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs placed along strategic points on the cable’s shield and inside connectors to lower the floor and increase resolution without harshness.Lastly, these are the most versatile and highest performance interconnects in the lineup, with two Galileo SX Tuning Bullets that allow you to alter the balance of the cables from warm and liquid to detailed and dynamic. When voicing Atmosphere SX cables to your system, compare both the Gold and Silver Galileo bullets on a component-by-component basis and pick the option that sounds best. User Tip: very few systems, if any, benefits from all one color or another. In fact, most systems will sound best with a majority of either Gold or Silver bullets, but with a component or two that perform best with the opposite color. Gallio SX Gold Tuning Bullets capture warmer sound with liquidity over pin point spatial detail.Galileo SX Silver Tuning Bullets are detailed and dynamic with a pinpoint focus at the expense of liquidity.

Imagine listening to Charlie Parker at Birdland, then walk into Carnegie Hall and get seated in the best seats in the house. This is possible when you add Atmosphere to your listening room. No other technology allows you to tailor the size and scale of your soundstage, with stunning realism, to accurately portray the music and venue you are experiencing. The Atmosphere is a two-channel, multi-wave RF field generator with the power to transport you to the live event. Simply place Atmosphere in your room, turn it on, and tune out.Atmosphere began when our lead designer Ted Denney contemplated why systems seem to sound better late at night and worse mid-day. As a pioneering designer of the first high-performance power cord, the original AC Master Coupler of 1994, and his later work in 2007 to develop the world’s first patented non-current limiting AC filter found in our PowerCell AC line conditioners, he knew there must be more to the mystery of what we hear late at night vs. mid-day than just the state of AC coming out of the wall. After all, if it were only AC than power conditioning and high-performance power cords would have solved this problem long ago. So we began researching variables that could contribute to the mystery of midnight vs. mid-day system performance and came to the conclusion that man-made and solar RF must play a significant role. This led us to research factors that contribute to fluctuations in the Earth’s ambient RF environment. Ted reasoned that if differences in RF can degrade the sound, then RF can be modeled and shaped to improve the sound.Atmosphere Infinity and Atmosphere Mini X4 are the first expandable models in the line of Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generators. Using either ethernet port located on the rear of the Atmosphere Infinity or Atmosphere Mini X4 and the included ethernet cable, you can connect multiple Atmosphere towers, drastically increasing the performance of the Atmosphere acoustic system. Both ports on Atmosphere Satellites can be used as a signal in or signal out, allowing users to daisy chain multiple towers. Any Atmosphere Satellites connected to an Atmosphere Infinity or Atmosphere Mini X4 will broadcast an identical signal, allowing you to now control all of you Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generators through the iPad remote app with a single iPad. *Minimum HFT Level 2 or UEF Panel level 1 must be in place before adding an Atmosphere Device.ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) X4 technology adds four times the broadcast power of the original models. Incorporating four antennas, X4 models provide a 360-degree signal dispersion pattern, significantly improving the effect of the Atmosphere Infinity, Atmosphere Mini X4, and FEQX4. In addition to acoustic benefits, it also improves the performance of all SR products with UEF Technology. UEF Tech responds to specific ultra-low frequencies, so your Core UEF, Atmosphere X, and Galileo SX cables perform better, along with your HFT’s and UEF Acoustic Panels. Even Tranquility Base UEF component platforms and Black Box low-frequency resonator arrays perform with noticeably increased levels of performance when excited by the strategic ULF signal generated in a 360-degree wave pattern. - [ALPHA DAC SERIES 3](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/alpha-dac-series-3/) - Alpha DAC Series 3 - A Breakthrough In Audio Quality And Value The Alpha DAC Series 3 uses advanced technology from the award winning Alpha DAC Reference Series 3 to provide Reference Level Performance never available before at this price.Compare the Alpha DAC Series 3 to any DAC at any price and hear its superior audio quality.Excellent PCM audio quality from 32kHz to 192kHzExcellent MQA Rendering quality to beyond 384kHzUltra-low phase noise conversion clockingOutputs can connect directly to power amplifiersAll metal Series 3 IR Remote ControlAvailable with a Silver or Black front panel - [ACTIVE GROUND BLOCK ](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/active-ground-block/) - Active Ground Block / The Heart of Your SystemYouTube - Synergistic Research DemoThe New Active Ground Block takes the award winning UEF Ground Filter from our original SR Ground Block and adds an active ULF Field Generator, and on the SE model, a dedicated Active EM Cell as found in SR PowerCell line conditioners to supercharge the performance of every component in your system including Synergistic Research cables equipped with external grounding technology. Benefits include a noticeable increase in deep bass power and weight, a more holographic sound field, smoother high frequencies with greater extension and ‘air’, a more present and layered mid-range, increased tonal density with an apparent increase in resolution; it’s like going from a standard resolution Redbook file to Double DSD, the improvement is that dramatic. Nearly every aspect of system performance is transformed over the original; in fact, the difference between the new Active Ground Block and our original SR Ground Block is greater than the difference between the original Ground Block and no ground filter at all! The term “ground” refers to a connection to the Earth, which acts as a reservoir of charge. The high-speed, SR Active Ground Block provides a conductive path for this ground, separate from the normal current-carrying path of your components, which under certain conditions can add up to 10 dB of noise if poorly designed! The ground path with the least resistance is the best path to Earth, and there is no better ground path for your components than the SR Active Ground Block.By cleaning up your system’s ground connection you hear a noticeable improvement in soundstage height, depth and width thanks to a lower noise floor. Soundstage scale is improved with richer tonal density especially at the edges of your sound field. Image outlines are brought into clearer focus while musicality and overall system refinement are greatly improved. - [VAC PREAMPLIFIERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-preamplifiers/) - [VAC](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-2/) - [VAC AMPLIFIERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac-amplifiers/) - [VAC](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/vac/) - [MCINTOSH TURNTABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-turntables/) - [MCINTOSH SACD / CD PLAYERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-blu-ray-cd/) - [BLU-RAY / CD PLAYERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/blu-ray-cd-players/) - [SPECIALTY CABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/specialty-cables/) - [LYRA](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lyra/) - [AIRTIGHT PHONO CARTRIDGES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/airtight-phono-cartridges/) - [AIRTIGHT PC-1 SUPREME](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/airtight-pc-1-supreme/) - [PHONO CARTRIDGES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/phono-cartridges/) - [AIRTIGHT](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/airtight/) - [ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TONEARMS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acoustic-signature-tonearms/) - [ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TURNTABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acoustic-signature-turntables/) - [TURNTABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/turntables/) - [ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/acoustic-signature/) - [GOLDEN EAR](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-2/) - [GOLDEN EAR](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-3/) - [DEVIALET SPEAKERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/devialet-speakers/) - [DEVIALET](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/devialet-2/) - [DEVIALET](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/devialet/) - [NAD](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/nad-2/) - [NAD](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/nad/) - [BLUESOUND MUSIC STREAMER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/bluesound-music-streamer/) - [BLUESOUND](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/bluesound/) - [GOLDEN EAR HOME THEATER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/goden-ear-home-theater/) - [GOLDEN EAR SUBWOOFERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-subwoofers/) - [GOLDEN EAR TOWERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-towers/) - [SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH CABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-cables/) - [AURENDER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/13001/) - [CABLES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/12984/) - [A SERIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/a-series/) - [MCINTOSH](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/12978/) - [MAGICO](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/12969/) - [MCINTOSH HOME THEATER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-home-theater/) - [MCINTOSH INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/integrated/) - [MCINTOSH PREAMPLIFIERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/preamplifiers/) - [MCINTOSH AMPLIFIERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/amplifiers/) - [REFERENCE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/reference/) - [HOMAGE TRADITION](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/homage-tradition/) - [GRAVIS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/gravis/) - [OLYMPICA NOVA](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/olympica-nova/) - [HERITAGE](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/heritage/) - [SONETTO](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/sonetto/) - [LUMINA SERIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/lumina-series/) - [SONUS FABER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/sonus-faber-2/) - [SONUS FABER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/sonus-faber/) - [BERKELEY AUDIO DESIGN](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/berkeley-audio-design/) - [800 SERIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/800-series/) - [600 SERIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/600-series/) - [700 SERIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/700-series/) - [VON SCHWEIKERT](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/von-schweikert/) - [GOLDEN EAR ACCESSORIES](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-accessories/) - [GOLDEN EAR SUBS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear-subs/) - [SRX](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/srx-2/) - [GOLDEN EAR](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/golden-ear/) - [MCINTOSH POWER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/mcintosh-power/) - [SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/synergistic-research-2/) - [AURENDER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/aurender-1/) - [AURENDER](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/aurender/) - [MUSIC SERVERS / STREAMERS](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/music-server-streamer/) - [MSB PREMIER DAC](https://scottwalkeraudio.com/store/msb-premier-dac/) - With four prime DACs, we yield an unmatched level of detail, reproducing the musicality, soundstage, and texture of an original performance, bringing the artist to you.
