We concur!!

Ola Björling's Ukiro.Music YouTube channel is quickly becoming a favorite destination for thoughtful, entertaining hi-fi reviews and unexpected music recommendations.

In this recent review of the excellent Sigberg Audio Saranna active loudspeakers, Ola side-steps into a discussion about digital cables - a discussion in which AudioQuest make a happy appearance.

At around 32mins, he accurately explores the variables that possibly contribute to the Sigbergs' AES/EBU connection outperforming their coaxial counterpart, paying particular attention to the AudioQuest Carbon AES/EBU cable along the way.

He recommends, "Whatever it is, get proper digital cables. You'll thank me later."

Yes we know it's 2026 now, but we were enjoying the Christmas break so much, we didn't get round to shouting out loud about the Hi-Fi Choice magazine 2025 yearbook 😀

It was a fantastic way to end the year, getting the 40 AMP and the 40 PPA included in their very impressive list of top HiFi products that they reviewed last year.

🎬🎶 AVFORUMS REFERENCE REVIEW – PERLISTEN R-SERIES HOME CINEMA 🎶🎬

While many high-end home cinema systems evolve slowly over decades, Perlisten’s R-Series arrives as a fully mature performer straight out of the gate. In its in-depth review, AVForums awarded the R-Series system a perfect 10/10, praising its exceptional clarity, neutrality, and cinematic impact.

Delivering immense scale, pinpoint imaging, and effortlessly controlled dynamics, the R-Series creates a truly immersive soundfield that excels with both movies and music. Dialogue remains crystal-clear even at high volumes, while the system’s power and precision ensure a thrilling yet refined listening experience.

AVForums concludes that the R-Series isn’t simply a step down from the flagship S-Series, but a reference-level home cinema solution in its own right — offering outstanding performance, build quality, and value for serious enthusiasts.

80 Series Product Update
When we first revealed the Cyrus 80 Series at the Munich High End Show last year, it was a huge milestone for us. This new full‑width range is providing our engineers with the freedom to create something truly special — products designed to deliver an even more immersive and exciting listening experience.

A massive part of this leap forward comes from the work we put into the 40 PSU’s intelligent power supply. That innovation has allowed us to push the 80 Series’ internal power supply to a whole new level… and we can’t wait for more music lovers to hear the difference.

Like any big project, we have hit a few bumps along the way. That’s meant a small delay in getting the 80 Series into your local dealers. We know that’s frustrating — trust us, the whole team feels it too — but we’ve been working incredibly hard to make sure everything is absolutely right.

The good news! You won’t have to wait much longer.

The 80 Series will be ready to impress at the Bristol HiFi Show in February and in‑store demos of the 80AMP at Cyrus dealers will begin in April.

We’re a small team, but this has been one of the biggest and most exciting projects in our history. We genuinely can’t wait for you to see it, hear it, and fall in love with it.

Stay tuned — the 80 Series is nearly here 😀

In this video, Michael Fremer, The Absolute Sound's Editor-at-Large, welcomes viewers into his listening room for a look at the many cartridges and cables he's collected over the years.

"Cables make a difference," Michael says. "It's the difference between being satisfied with your system and not."

Emphatically, Michael concludes; "If you don't think these make a difference, go to a local shop that'll let you rent cables to try out in your system... Trust your own senses... Don't believe what you hear from these people that only go by three measurements to tell you how things sound."

We couldn't agree more.
