We release the laid-back Megaras Termino which is equal in performance to the forward sounding Lightspeed.
Although the detail reproduction isn't as extreme as Lightspeed, the bass performance is better where the Megaras gives bigger and stronger bass in a blacker and warmer background. It gives more of a cozy feel where you can sit back and relax to the music.
The price for Megaras Termino is $299 per piece.

Giggles 2023.02.23 02:21 SATA cables for audio for $500
There is something called Superstar SATA 25mm 0.5m Gray Carbon Hi-Fi Cable sold on eBay.
As the title suggests, the specs are nothing special, but the cables are reinforced with expensive metal, wood, and quartz materials. It's called 'Superstar Crystal Formula'. At the end of the cable, we added a wooden stopper with a black crystal coating for added strength.
I'm reflecting on the hard sarcasm I've had looking at audio cables or products for golden ears. Didn't they at least try to make it look convincing?
However, this is an ordinary cable with an unidentified black sea cucumber inserted, and the price has been raised 1000 times.

If they made every cable like that there may not be enough space in the case.
I have a few transparent sata cables that looks just like that on the ends.
That must be easy to make and assemble.
Just pick any sata cable and push it through that piece of cloth like thing.
are those marshmallows with sprinkles?

Is the author trying to be funny
Inside the woven toilet connector cable there are some further ingredients which are described as “our classic Superstar Crystal Formula,” and are apparently optimized for computer component
I thought that was some sort of cloth like plastic braid but when looking again at the article what I thought what sounded like a joke and now on looking up closely I see it is a flexible metal toilet hose connector.

Deepsbays Rock Galaxy #4 (Audiophile Rocks Hi-Fi tweak)
Price: US $239.00
Compatible Brand: Universal
Brand: Audiophile Rocks
Type: Tweak
Country/Region of Manufacture: Sweden
These rare specimens of Galaxy Rocks are all unique with their own shape and look, but sound equally good. This is the #4 model of the Deepsbays Rock Galaxy. It's sold for 20% cheaper because I have been using it in my own audio system.
Internally they have Deepsbays Crystal Formula which consists of our best Alien crystals that are modified with proprietary liquids and ultrasonic frequencies to activate the deep cleaning properties of the Alien crystals. This Crystal Formula is surrounded by Pro clay that has 10 times lower mass than other clays, while being stronger. This minimizes colorations from the music and enables you to hear maximum detail. You can hear sounds you never knew existed. Are you ready to enter deep into the unknown?
40 tweaks + Deepsbays Rock Galaxy, result after adding another tweak
Compared to , Galaxy sounds more transparent and detailed. It sounds much cleaner and you can hear deeper into the music with more information in complex passages. There is better musicality and enjoyment.
Compared to , Galaxy sounds cleaner and deeper with a bigger soundstage and a more mysterious sound with smooth darkness. It doesn't sound as forward and "in your face" as the Pro Ortus. Everything is further away, Galaxy sounds more laid-back and relaxing. They are equally good overall, Pro Ortus is best for recording studios while Galaxy is best for home listening.
Compared to , Galaxy sounds quicker and more lively with better musicality. It sounds more analog with more detail everywhere in the soundstage.
Compared to , Galaxy sounds better than 7 pieces, but not as good as 8 pieces of Supernova VibraDome.

Simply place the rock anywhere on top of your audio system. Its entire weight must rest on top of the audio system, because the rock needs gravity to work. To know how the performance compares against our other tweaks, see the ranking list below for our Crystal Formulas. The sound improves further if the tweak is bigger and contains Pro clay.
Our products are also ranked based on price, the more it costs the better it is.
0:00 let's say
let's say you have a perfect audio system already it is not fun
you want to start from nothing and just enjoy the journey of constantly
improving your audio system you get a new tweak once a week
or once a month and you get to the next level that's
really enjoyable you get those ear orgasms you improve your system
a little at a time every month or a week to improve your system again and
then it's really enjoyable to to listen to music to hear the new
new levels of detail that you couldn't hear before oh yeah [Laughter]
deep space rock galaxy is my latest addition to my system let's turn on
the lights here deep space i got the amazing listening experiment experience
oh so uh in the previous time i added the light speed rack i got some extra detail
into the music this time i added the deep space rock galaxy and here are the
here are the results okay so i got this smoother sound deeper sound bigger sound stage
the bass was deeper and bigger and faster and i got a really relaxing listening
experience from the deep space rock galaxy so this tweak further improves the
sound even when i already have so many tweaks in my system and it kept the
the new details of the light speed rack while increasing the smoothness
and sound stage making the background blacker and deeper
with the better bass the bass was deeper bigger faster more textured
2:20 more resolution everything improved in the music so just from adding a tweak
that is not as good as the tweak you added before you still improve the sound
even from the cheaper tweaks so this very very very good advice for you if
you want to buy a cheaper tweak first and later upgrade you still get better
sound from the cheaper tweak in your system you don't need to remove it from
your system you can keep it in your system and even even if you buy a light speed
rack you can buy a cheaper tweak after and still get better sound from adding this
tweak into your system but you get the big biggest improvement from the light speed rack
3:08 the more the more money the tweak costs the better the performance and the better
the value for the money so the more you pay the better but if you can't pay a lot of money you buy
the cheaper tweaks so they still improve the sound greatly and i got a really
very uh addicting listening experience i just want to keep listening to music and deep space
is the third best crystal formula ever made number one is the light speed then comes
the magus guru and here's the magus kurum wizard a very magical listening experience from
the magus guru and this one has a very deep sound
4:46 with great bass because it is bigger it is it is bigger in size than the light
speed and the magus guru so it will give more bass uh compared to these ones so
these ones improve other aspects in the sound but the deep space improves bass
more than those tweaks but this this light speed rack will improve detail
more than any other tweak ever ever made but because this is bigger the deep
space right galaxy is bigger it will improve bass more only because of that
reason it is bigger so what about the name deep space
it comes from abyss it is a deeper version of the abyss
crystal formula and it has small speed if you read backwards speed
5:01 and it is deep there's more bass and b-a-s-s more bass and yeah abby's
so you can re rearrange the letters to get the different words in this name
so this is why i picked this name deeps and bass and especially because it has
a deeper bass than the other crystal formulas that were made before the deep
space and after the deep space there was further evolution in the crystal formula
with the magoskurum and the light speed here so the deep space was really the
beginning of creating a better crystal formula with the mago squirm and the light speed
and the microscorum is the simplified version of the light speed light speed has the silver
inside and all the other formulas don't have any silver in those formulas so
they are not as good light speed is much quicker and clearer more detailed
and more transparent than all the other crystal formulas but it's more expensive
6:25 but much better also better value for the money and the deep pay
this space is cheaper this one costs 299 dollars only and the live speed rack costs 879
so if you can't afford the light speed rock you get the deep space right galaxy
almost three times cheaper and you still get the really amazing listening experience
from the deep space rock galaxy really incredible what kind of sound you get
and even the cheaper tweaks that you add into your system you
get the great experience from them you don't need to pay a lot
of money for the live speed rock to get a great experience you can get
get the great experience from the cheaper tweaks also even when adding
them after the light speed rock so you can add any kind of tweaks after
as long as they have the pro clay and you get the better improvement in
the sound you get a huge improvement in the sound you get more eargasms and
7:35 enjoyment from the system with all of these tweaks with the pro
clay so look at ebay if you if the tweak has the pro play
and the only uh tweak that that is still good
which uh doesn't have the pro clay it is this one the
abysskirum ultima the ultimate tweaks are still great uh tweaks
even when they don't have the pro clay so the ultimate tweaks are really
great tweaks because just because they are bigger and you get more bass with
the bigger tweaks more bass more fullness more resolution
from the bigger tweaks but the smaller tweaks are just perfect for
speed and detail and transparency and openness especially the orca tweaks
will give an open sound like the orca glacier i don't have it here not
right right now i have it in my storage room i'm using the prototypes myself
for the orca glacier
8:41 so these are really nice sounding tweaks very open and smooth natural
realistic a big sound stage also a cooler sound from the orca glacier
but the deep space rock galaxy has a blacker sound a blacker background more
mysterious sound and deeper sound that you can travel deep into the music and
enjoy music like never before you get a very smooth silk smooth sound and relaxing
and you hear more separation also and while being well being silky smooth so the transients
in the music are quicker more separated and silky smooth
9:27so everything improves with the deep space rack galaxy if you want to go to ebay
click the link below click the link bel space rock galaxy and you can find many different shapes to
choose from and all of them sound the same only the shape is different they are identical inside
the same crystal formula and the same amount of crystal formula is inside the tweak so you could
go to ebay you want to buy this right now and get the great musical experience so that you can
just sit sit back and relax and listen to the music that's a great tweak for that and if you want to
if you want the most detail possible get the light speed rock for the most detail possible
10:16okay so yeah this is the end of the video until next time rack your audio system
goodbye

add some glue and glitter - done.
Do people actually buy this junk? Can a dishonest sociopath actually make a living selling sprinkles and globs of crud to gullible fools?

Nordost Tyr 2 Power Cable Norse Series
Nordost’s new Tyr 2 Power Cord benefits from the extensive research made in creating Valhalla 2, therefore extending our celebrated Norse 2 cable range into the realm of our Reference line. By employing Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, which is also found in Valhalla 2 , the Tyr 2 Power Cord is able to achieve the most effective insulation method in the industry, putting this cable a step above its Norse brothers and bounds ahead of the competition. This cable consists of 7 silver plated, solid core 16 AWG OFC conductors, which eliminate strand interaction, hot spots and carbonization to ensure optimum performance. The use of these conductors also allows complete material consistency with Norse 2 interconnects and speaker cables.
Like the Heimdall 2 and Frey 2 Power Cords, the Tyr 2 Power Cord uses extruded FEP insulation, which is superior to all other materials in terms of low signal loss and high thermal efficiency. The use of FEP in a Dual Mono-Filament construction guarantees that power is transferred more effectively, while the low resistance of the cable keeps power loss extremely low.
Finally, the Tyr 2 Power Cord implements mechanically tuned lengths . This technique, used in Nordost’s Norse 2, Reference, and Supreme Reference ranges, reduces internal microphony and high-frequency impedance resonance . The benefits can be heard at both ends of the scale– in the sheer impact that comes with real instrumental presence and explosive dynamics, and the color, texture and intimacy that brings a voice or solo instrument to life. The result is the most musically coherent and involving performance you’ll ever have heard from your system and recordings
Except ... Hmmm ... how may feet of plain old simple AC wiring is in the walls and the buillding and outside coming to your wall socket.

At a recent Axpona event Nordost was caught red handed doctoring a power cable listening session.
It turned out a cd was used with the same music on different tracks at different loudness levels and for each power cable demonstrated the track was used with a slightly higher spl levels that corresponded with the price level of each power cable.
Nordost reacted by threatening with legal actions and the blog was removed from the web page.

Nordost Demo Mysteries…Solved! Part IIAUDIO SHOWSDr. AIX's POSTS— 22 April 2016
By Mark Waldrep
This post is a continuation from yesterday. You can read the first part by clicking here.
Then I sat through the power cord swap out demo. I sat in the front row of their demo room. The presenter swapped out the power cord to the disc player…and only the disc player. He started with a simple IEC power cord, which probably cost about $1.50. He played about 30-45 seconds of a track from the CD. He stopped the player and turned off the power to the unit. He connected a $200 power cord from the Nordost product line. He powered up the CD player, stood in front of the player, and played the same piece of music once again. The sound coming from the speakers was noticeably louder…by about 1-2 dB. The Nordost guy stood to the side and expressed his satisfaction that the change was immediately obvious and repeatable. The volume setting on the front of the amplifier was the same in each case (unlike the change reported by Patrick…I think the presenter knew me and wasn’t going to risk moving the volume knob). This was proof positive that a “better” power cord results in “better” sound.
Nordost doesn’t build its power cords to meet certain price points. He explained that the company delineates their products by performance levels. He passed around the transparent power cords so that attendees could see the construction of the cables, the careful windings, the wires that keep the insulation from touching the power leads, and the heft of the $6000 Valhalla 2 cable (don’t you ever wonder about the AC cabling that is inside the walls? Wouldn’t that limit the sound?). The demo continued with successively more expensive cords connecting the CD player to the power strip. And each time the music amplitude associated with the more expensive cable was higher. It was not subtle, however the volume on the preamplifier remained the same (unlike the experience reported by Patrick above). The presenter stated that the expensive power cord “acts like a power conditioner” in removing the artifacts and sonic degradation coming from the wall. Was he saying you don’t need a power conditioner…just a $6000 6-foot power cord?
It was like a magician’s trick. Somehow the presenter was making a change to the system without turning up the volume. There was more output coming from the speakers after the swap. At first I couldn’t figure it out…until Patrick commented on his experience during an earlier demo. The volume on the amplifier didn’t change but the track played on the CD was never repeated more than once. I found that curious. The Nordost presenter would play some music and then swap the cable and replay the same piece of music. But instead of swapping out a new power cord and playing the same track for the third time, he always migrated to another track. This truck me as strange. Why wouldn’t he simply repeat the track a third or fourth time? At one point in the process, he turned to me as he was selecting the track number on the CD player and said, “I’m not sure which track number I played last?”
The disc that he was playing was not a commercial replicated CD. It was custom made for their demo. I believe the disc contained two copies of each track. One that was mastered slightly louder than the other. How else could I account for the difference in volume AND the fact that he didn’t go back and play the same track a third time. There were only two copies of each tune on the disc…not three or four.
I think that explains the increased volume that the audience experienced throughout the demo. The presenter played the same music from a different track…one that was 1-2 dB louder. It wouldn’t be hard to pull this off. In fact, as a former mastering engineer, I could create a custom CD-R that would retain the same track number so no one would be the wiser. I regret not recording the whole session or keeping track of the track number being played. I thought about it before heading upstairs but my wife was using my iPhone to run credit cards at our sales table.
Like the AudioQuest/Home Entertainment YouTube video earlier in the year, the Nordost demo was simply not believable. Small isolation cones and expensive power cords do not cause an audio system to get louder…if they do anything at all. The companies behind these audiophile products don’t even make that claim. There’s nothing more compelling or noticeable during an audio demo than comparing two music tracks with one louder than the other. If a power cord resulted in an increase in the volume of the output signal then using a Valhalla 2 power cord to connect a lamp to a wall socket would cause it to glow more brightly…and that doesn’t happen!
As I wrote this article, I went online and read a number of very positive reviews about Nordost cables…including a number that praised the Valhalla 2 power cords. One of them contained this sentence, “The results were stunning. Even with competing systems in adjacent rooms rattling the walls, it was easy to hear the much lower noise floor and improved soundstaging, texture and decay. Cash’s ragged voice sounded like he’d leaned an inch closer to the microphone, as well as pulled off the foam sock.” When a singer gets an inch closer to the microphone, the output amplitude of the microphone goes up. The reviewer was reporting an increase in volume and thinking the cable was the cause…it wasn’t. There are slick published “Guides to High-End Cables” full of glowing reviews and glossy photos of cables. Reading them will cause your head to spin…complete BS.
Cable vendors and the press that uniformly support them with ridiculous “reviews”, are not being truthful about the relative merits of their products. Overpriced cables…analog and digital…are not worth the money. It’s really that simple.

Well I finally got banned by the idiots at whathifi forum, for arguing with a guy that cable directionality did not exist. The editors are clueless idiots. They even review fibre optic cables for god sake and use words ynamics, muscle, focus, timing, detail, balance, emotion, expression, agility, refined, resolution, clarity, neutral, lively, verve, poise what nonsense. Why cant the U.K have a magazine and site like Audioholics.
1:00 there's a whole flourishing industry the audiofoolery industry... with even
1:12 more ridiculous outrageous claims andpeople get sucked into it all the tim
2:26 audio Expo dropped us as a sponsor as a media sponsor from their show and I was
really surprised by this because we put forth good effort fer for them last year
promoting their event but they told us the reason why they dropped us and they
didn't even call us audio holics they called us alcoholics like really being
derogatory towards our brand name so they said the reason why they dropped us
as a media sponsor was because of our controversial views on cables and I
thought to myself I go controversial so since when does objective science count
as controversial unfortunately we're living in an era of fake news apparently
and it's really surrounding the audio field and to me I could deal with the
...
3:31 the last 20 years it's been a struggle for audio holics because we're one of the few
audio press left that objectively measure and analyze audio performance
and also verify or invalidate manufacturer claims and I really think
it's important to have a free press to do that I think it's important to
promote the truth and the science of audio
