Synergistic Research Atmosphere UEFs level 1 vs SR Atmosphere X's level 1


Any one compared the Synergistic Research Atmosphere UEFs level 1 to the SR Atmosphere X's level 1 or SR foundation cables?  What are your thoughts around bass, pace and tonal transparence?

Not surprised to hear that femoore12. I've been using Synergistic since going back to the 90's. Usually when they come out with a new generation the lowest level of the new is better than pretty high up in the previous generation. In other words a generation is a pretty big step up. I think what happened was they got good enough with Atmosphere to come out with a much more affordable Foundation line and yet still have that "entry level" line be really good. Odds are Foundation are about as good or maybe even better than UEF. I just never compared to know for sure.

I have the X level 1 after demoing them with the foundation cables. I felt there was a substantial improvement with the level 1 over the foundations. I now have the the entire loom of X’ PC’s and interconnects along with the Powercell 8 UEF SE and a dedicated line. Vast improvement over mix and match

I am so impressed in how the cables made the music less fuzzy to me. I grew up hearing and singing unamplified music. Amped and processed music sounds fuzzy and flat to me. These cables removed that fuzziness from the music and gave it back it's dimensions. It is quite stunning. 

I know just what you mean. Why I been saying for years wire is equally as important a component as any other.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I did buy the ATM SX level ones and so far I'm very happy. The power cord was really impressive! Huge improvement in detail micro dynamics and sound stage when used with my Proceed AMP-2.....
