2011 Awards and Reviews

Please check out the newest review of our Locus Design Cynosure v2 USB cable posted on The PFO website today!

"...but once I installed the Cynosure v2 in the system, Parables and all, I knew I was making more than a marginal improvement to the DMS; Lee really should call this cable the "Cyno-for-sure" because it will improve the sound of any digital music server based on a USB connection I confidently prognosticate "for sure". What, you ask, are the improvements? To that I reply, "Everything"..."

..."Everything sounds more forward, clearer, sharper, more focused and just damn better; it's the equivalent of a component upgrade..."

Andy Schaub of PFO just published his latest article on the evolution of his digital server solution: Here in the latest issue of Positive Feedback Online.

A couple highlights:

"...decided to insert an audiophile quality FireWire cable (The Locus Design Herald) into the data recovery chain; between the 17" MacBook Pro and the LaCie RAID 1 drive, and much to my surprise, it made a huge difference. I heard depth and detail that had never come out of my digital music server no matter how expensive the DAC all with pinpoint imaging, tons of air and space around the instruments and a rich, lush, tube like sound with ample bass and sparkling treble..." "...So to those who say that the data recovery cables don't matter, I say the moon is made of cream cheese..."

"...I inserted the insanely expensive but utterly extraordinary Locus Design Parable analog interconnects between the Rega and the Skipjack which in turn feeds my Audio Note Meishu via a two (2) meter Kondo KSL-LP interconnect; and the Parable had a quieting effect—like dampening a slight tendency to ring—that just brought the most beautiful music to me..." "...if you can possibly afford them, get hold of a pair of Parables."

Locus Design Keynote Power Cable, and the Locus Design Cynosure, both integral parts of his reference system, are also mentioned.

A great read, penned by one of the leading writers in the brave new world of digital servers, read it today!

However, every so often, a cable will come along that compels you to hear the music and brings you closer to the sound than any other cable you've heard.

...it took on the ability to construct a direct connection between myself and the performance; no matter how simple or complex, minimal or layered and processedAndy Schaub, Positive Feedback Online, issue 54.

We are honored and humbled by the response to our newest analog interconnect, the Locus Design Parable.
