SOYATON The Benchmark XLR Interconnect is there!

Long awaited The Benchmark XLR Interconnect is there! It has been added to SOYATON’s offer based on frequent requests.

All design principles are the same as in the case of RCA Interconnect (gold-plated copper wires with double insulation of air and silicone), of course except for the third wire and terminals. The Benchmark XLR is terminated with Furutech gold plated FP-701M and FP-702F XLR plugs.

SOYATON’s reference listening & testing system upgraded by J.Sikora

SOYATON’s reference listening & testing system has been recently upgraded. Twenty years of experience with high end audio and its tweaks, tricks and upgrades, did not prepare me for the change it caused.

The upgrade was done by Mr Janusz Sikora of  J.Sikora Turntables, who made a custom Delrin platter for my VPI HRX turntable. It has also been equipped with J.Sikora’s optional glass & aluminium  platter mat, as well as his two-piece record weight made of aluminium, brass and nickel. And fully serviced and calibrated.

VPI HRX in original version is a very good turntable, a kind of reference in terms of hi-end turntables, but improvements which I heard after the treatment by J.Sikora  were simply unbelievable… To be honest I had some reservations especially with regards to the glass platter mat – every audiophile knows that glass is not what we like. I could not be wrong more… The most striking ones include significant increase of depth of the soundstage (first line of instruments got much closer to my listening armchair and the last line is far more distant), location of instruments became ultra-precise (really ultra!), in case of good recordings one does not need to use imagination to feel the instruments playing right in from of him (you just feel them), every sound became somehow just super-realistic and super-natural. And it brings simply huuuuuge pleasure to the listenerJ. I just can’t get used to it so I put record by record on the plate and listen to them with goose bumps on my hands. More reflections to come – every record brings a new one!

SOYATON’s speaker cables found a new home at the reference system of AC RECORDS

Adam Czerwiński, a famous Polish jazzman, audiophile, record producer and owner of AC Records (https://acrecords.pl/en/welcome/) became a happy owner of SOYATON’s The Benchmark speaker cables.
As he wrote on his Facebook profile: „It’s really unbelievable what they can do with music !!! Whoever wants to get closer to the Absolute (and I’m not talking about vodka:) must have it !!!!     Thank you Julian Soja, great job !!!”.

It’s a great compliment when a great artist and musician such as Adam Czerwiński says that SOYATON cables made him happy and improved the sound of his reference system to an extend which makes him to re-listen to his entire record collection 🙂

Marcin Oleś of audioidiom.pl reviewed SOYATON’s The Benchmark speaker cables

Soyaton

Marcin Oleś of audioidiom.pl took a closer look at Soyaton’s The Benchmark speaker cables. Marcin is a brilliant jazz and free improvisation bass player, composer and record producer. He has cooperated and performed with musicians such as Theo Jörgensmann, David Murray, William Parker, Herb Robertson, Ken Vandermark, Hamid Drake, Chris Speed, Erik Friedlander and many others.

Can there be a better and more trustworthy feedback than received from a musician, record producer and audiophile (in one) comparing the sound of his own instrument played live and reproduced by a reference grade system?
