“Best Sound” at Ascot 2023 from Soundstage!
“I was impressed by what I heard, mostly by the sound of vocals, particularly in “The Sound of Silence”… At the end of the day, if I had to vote for the best sound at UK Hi-Fi Show Live 2023, I would have put a checkmark next to Boyer Audio.”
Omega SP signal cables: hi-fi+ review by Alan Sircom!
“…That’s not the clichéd ‘inky black silences’, although background system self-noise does seem reduced. Instead, it’s like your audio system was told to tidy up its room, get its life together, and start a fitness regime.”
Engström ARNE: hi-fi+ equipment review
“Its command of space and time give it the ability to form sonic illusions in front of your ears and make it the ideal companion for those who like to go deep into the music and explore its inner secrets… it speaks the language of music so eloquently and with such purpose… a beautiful sounding amplifier. It’s as simple as that.”

Kroma Thaïs Xtreme - UK Exclusive Launch at KJ West One
“Our friends at KJ West One know their stuff, and it doesn't take them long to know if they’re listening to something special. With very little fine-tuning of their positioning, the Thaïs X speakers delivered an extraordinary sound that was immediately met with a satisfied nod, or a somewhat disbelieving shake of the head.”
Kroma’s Mimi Xtreme is Hificlube’s standmount speaker of 2022!
Standmount Speaker of 2022 - “The original Mimi excelled in its full sound, surprising deep bass, wide soundstage, and intrinsic musicality. Mimi Xtreme kept all these critical characteristics whilst sounding faster, cleaner, tighter, more precise, dynamic, transparent and informative.”

Stella Xtreme Hi-fi News Review: “A real eye-opener…”
“… It’s a pleasure to hear, demonstrating that musical excitement can come from other areas beyond an aggressive midband. The scale of the soundstage is vast, and with the speakers happy to play loud without ever sounding stretched, you can drown yourself in music.”
TAS Golden Ear Award: Everest 8000 Power Distributor

ALTAIRA: The Absolute Sound Product of the Year
“Shunyata’s Altaira system is a revelation, not only taking my system’s performance to the next level of sound quality but also revealing the effect of ground noise on musical realism. It has become an essential component of my reference system, and I suspect that if you audition one, you will find it equally indispensable.”
