Atlas Asimi Ultra - Amazing match for Naim Systems

Exciting times! We've just had the new version of the Atlas Asimi interconnect cable in. Visually very similar, the first obvious difference is the grey rather than silver outer sheath ... but the main upgrade is down to the new 'Ultra' plugs (hence the Asimi Ultra designation) ... no details of these as yet, but they are a work of art .. beautifully engineered and a good firm fit.

First listen (and now the permanent home) was in a customers full Naim setup. Naim equipment is notorious for giving poor results with non Naim cables .. but Atlas seem to have it sussed, the whole range work well .. this Ultra replaces a Naim HiLine, which is a superbly designed and excellent performer ... but the Asimi creates a much larger, more natural soundstage ... the whole sound is smoother, yet detail is increased (which is a clever trick). The usual result with high end 'non-Naim' cables is a huge gain in detail or image ... but a complete lack of musicality or 'soul'. The Asimi on the other hand must be the most musically correct cable we've ever heard...connected to the Naim timing and complex rhythms just flowed, without any need for the listener to concentrate or focus on any specific aspect of the performance ... it was all just there!
