The first full length review of the Atratus RCA interconnect cables has been published!

My thanks to YNWaN (of AudioFlat origins) for taking the time to write this up.

He notes that, among other things, the cables excel in the bass department and improved the dynamics of his system quite significantly. You can read the full review on the link below:

More reviews are in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled.

Cheers,
Oliver Freeborn

Another review has been published. The chap is very pleased with it! :)

The reviewer noted that the Atratus interconnects significantly improved bass and sub-bass performance as well as increasing the overall detail and clarity of his system. He finishes by saying "...give these a try as you may just be blown away." - a fairly conclusive summary! You can read the full review here.

Paul, a moderator over at a British hi-fi forum, has just posted his impressions of the Atratus interconnects.
 
I am pleased to say that the Atratus interconnects have replaced his original top of the line Cambridge Audio interconnects for good. He found that the Atratus interconnects presented a less grainy sound with more articulate bass than before.
 
Have a read of the well written review here:

A happy customer just sent me a rather nice email:


"Well, the ATRATUS cables arrived on Wednesday as promised. Popped them into my vinyl replay chain and sat back - and was astounded! Do I like them? You bet I like them.

So much so that I've just ordered another pair to go into the CD replay chain. Wanted to get them before word gets around and the price goes up!
 
Thanks for a fantastic product at a sensible price... remarkable."  - Tim

Haven't updated this for a while! Let's have a new one. This particular customer wanted a change from his MG G1500HD interconnects which he was finding too lean for his tastes.
 
System synergy is an important thing, which is why these interconnects come with a no questions asked 14 day refund policy.
 
"Hi Oliver
 
Got the cable, very nice construction, and it looks good too.
 
The sound took me by surprise - this is no bass monster, or fizz bomb or anything like some of the comments I have read.
 
In fact, it is the most controlled cable I have run across, from the first second I connected it.
 
But I like it ! The sound is very clean, but not lean, and I would say very  suited to classical (other stuff is fine too).
 
It's a keeper for me, so cheers and best of luck with your company.

It didn't end there, though. Got this the next day from the same chap:
 
"Oliver - following on from yesterday (I must learn to save sent mail..), day two, well, I don't know what to say exactly, other than I can't believe the improvement a days burn in has had, and I don't even believe in it. I have certainly never learnt to adjust to new components - if I don't like something, it stays not liked, no matter how many times I listen. The control is still there, but from somewhere lush mids and deeper bass have appeared. It could be from somewhere else, the dac and linear power supply (they quote 100 hours burn in !) could be it.
 
I'm hearing the type of sound I always imagined and hoped for at long last. I have spent the last year swapping out my 15 year old components to get here, but your cable has been a surprisingly significant final step.
 
You really have cracked it - and you can quote me on that.
 
...don't lose that bass.

Time for another comment from a happy customer:

"Thank you for the excellent service, the cables arrived safely this morning. I didn't think cables could make so much difference but the music coming out of my rather ancient "budget"  CD player now sounds so much better."

The Atratus RCA interconnects have received a very positive review the December issue of Hi-Fi World (out now). Reviewer Paul Rigby mentions the expanded sound stage, steady bass response and airy mids, finishing by describing the interconnects as 'a steal'.

Remember, these come with a 14 day trial period so that you can see how well the Atratus interconnects fit in with your system.

More information can be found on the Atratus RCA interconnects here.
