NO VOODOO, JUST PHYSICS!
Giancarlo Massironi at The Speaker Shack is the latest audiophile to discover the rewards of in-akustik GmbH & CO. KG’s scientific approach to cable engineering. Its NF-404 and LS-404 Micro Air cables use sophisticated cable designs with an air dielectric, and high purity conductors to reduce capacitance, minimise noise and interference, revealing “a polished, articulate presentation that allows the music to shine. I urge anyone looking to upgrade their cables to make sure the Micro Air series are on their list.”

“STYLISH WINNER”
Opera Loudspeakers' Quinta V2 floor-stander is a ‘giant killer’ for Mark Craven in Hi-Fi Choice magazine Nov 26 issue. Awarding a max 5 stars for sound/build quality and ease of drive, he says it “laps up Billie Eilish as easily as Beethoven” with a sound that “is vibrant and hard hitting when needed but still playful and gorgeous to boot.”

“WONDER OF THE HI-FI WORLD”
Emotiva Audio’s mission to bring audiophile performance to many more AV enthusiasts has made a powerful impression on David Vivian at the ear. His review of the XSP-2/DR2 pre/power ensemble says: “In every case, the same overriding impression emerged. Seemingly tangible presence without a sense of volume or ‘loudness’. Whisper to lightning strike dynamics, open-ended. Bass capability fully exploited in weight, articulacy, extension, tunefulness and texture. And all of it feeling like natural acoustic energy and not something that’s been mechanically generated. That all this can be had for comfortably under £4k is truly a wonder of the hi-fi world and arguably its greatest best buy in recent memory.”
