Ik zie dat de 0,75m uitvoering van de superior nu 50,-- kost. De helft van de originele prijs. What Hifi was er wel heel enthousiast over. Maar lees over Atlas ook een andere (professionele) review:
It is obvious that Atlas cables have a family sound that is best described as a smooth top end with a similarly smooth midrange and a well-rounded, rich-sounding bass.
This sonic signature may not go down well with components that are already smooth sounding – such as German amps and speakers – but it will certainly tame the edginess and brightness of some budget Japanese components.
Thus you will have to take into account the overall sonic signature of your system before buying Atlas cables – too much smoothness may not be a good thing.
The bass delivered on the Atlas cables is best described as rounded and rich. However, the bass on the Atlas cable went quite low without sounding bloated and there were moments when I thought I felt things vibrating in my stomach.
Now, should you buy them? It is a question of the sonic signature of your system. If you need to smooth things out, then the Atlas cables are good picks. But remember this: just like a real-life smoothie may seduce you with his charm and sweet talk and then leave your high and dry, the Atlas interconnects may render music so smooth that there may be a lack of vitality and sparkle.
For: Well made; good snug-fitting plugs; smooth sound; ample bass.
Against: May make things too smooth.
Hm; Wel duidelijk verhaal. Kan dan voor mijn systeem dan weleens niet goed uitpakken. Omdat ik de MA RX 6 het mooiste vond, maar wel van een warmere weergave hou bewust voor de Marantz lite gekozen. Ook nog wel b.v. NAD gehoord. Was sneller, meer punch (ook teveel laag), klonk misschien opwindender, maar voor mij veel te helder (en zeker niet warm wat weleens van NAd wordt beweerd.) Kon er maar kort naar luisteren en begreep in één keer de term luistermoeheid. Draai veel symfonische metal, (oude) rock en pop jaren 80 (ben dan ook 47
).
