Onda

Onda, entreprise qui conçoit des câbles haut de gamme fait au Canada à Calgary.
Câbles Onda et enceintes Vandersteen
Devant nous le système est composé d’une paire d’enceintes Vandersteen Quatro pour les besoins du salon, ces gens là ne sont pas revendeur de la marque, mais ont porté le choix sur ces enceintes du fait de leur parfaite cohérence et nous sommes tout à fait d’accord sur ce point, ils ne se sont pas trompés.
Comme ce ne sont pas des boys scouts, sachez que ce système est une référence éprouvée chez Vandersteen.
Les électroniques sont des Accustic Arts et Modwright Instruments fait en Allemagne
La philosophie de Onda dans l’élaboration de leurs câbles est vraiment particulière, ils utilisent des conducteurs en argent massif selon la gamme et de fort diamètre, ce qui va à l’encontre des précepts établis.
Electroniques Accustic Arts et Modwright Instruments
Autre point, le client peut passer d’une gamme à une autre sans perte d’argent, Onda reprend le matériel lors d’un up grade, cela garanti une stabilité du marché et aucun produit Onda ne va se brader sur la place publique.
Câbles Onda de la gamme Rush
Gammes au catalogue : air, rush, crybaby, et la nouveauté est le riptide (le ressac)
Cette dernière innovation fait appel à un câble central (point chaud) flottant des deux bords!
À noter que le système utilise un conditionneur de courant Audience Power Adept response AR6, câble avec un cordon Onda de la série Riptide.
Onda pourrait recevoir le prix de l’innovation pour le Riptide et un best sound of the show, pour l’excellence de leur démonstration active au Taves 2011.
Une dernière chose : Onda signifie une vague en italien
What are your impressions on the 2011 Toronto Audio Video Entertainment Show?
The show was a success. The TAVES people indicated that 1000 people attended on Friday alone. We found the TAVES organizers to be very helpful and everything went smoothly. We will be attending TAVES next year.
Will we have the pleasure to see you again at the 2012 SSI show in Montreal?
We made the decision at TAVES to do 2012 SSI.
Would it be possible to know what kind of material was exactly in demonstration?
The demonstration used Vandersteen Quatro speakers, Aesthetix Atlas mono-blocks, ModWright LS36.5 preamp, Accustic Arts cd players and an Audience Adept Response power conditioner.
The Cables were Riptide 8 awg IC and Riptide 6 awg PC on the top CD player.

Onda technology does two things:
  • 1. Reduces the distortion inherent to electricity by 5 to 8% thereby providing 5 to 8% more music. Assuming that 10% of sound produced by electricity is noise.
  • 2. Tames the electrical flow so that components perform at their full potential.
Onda systems moves you toward a transparent analog musical presence throughout our line up of cables from Air to Riptide.

2014 Stereophile 추천기기 아날로그 부분 Wave Kinetics NVS, Durand Tonearms Class A 등재

http://www.stereophile.com/content/2014-recommended-components-fall-edition-turntables-tonearms-cartridges-etc



Wave Kinetics NVS Reference: $45,000
Made in a California factory that specializes in microrobotics, the NVS Reference is superbly built and has a dramatic physical appearance: A large sculpted pod forms a central pillar and holds the motor—a custom DC design governed by a "laboratory-grade" commercial servo-controller with an active, ultrasonic feedback loop that produces a claimed speed accuracy of 1 part per million. Atop the motor is the NVS's 30-lb platter, which comprises three slabs of aluminum interleaved with two slabs of a mass-loaded white polymer. The turntable's platform is machined from billets of solid aluminum and includes a proprietary vibration-damping material. Compared to the Continuum Caliburn, the NVS Reference had similar bass extension and control, but offered slightly drier textures, muted attacks, and less dimensional images, said MF. "A top-shelf turntable that's easy to recommend," he concluded. (Vol.35 No.10)


Durand Tonearms Telos: $19,500 ★
The beautiful Telos, Durand's top model, is a 12", medium-mass tonearm made of a superbly sculpted and finished piece of wood. It comes in an attachÈ-style wooden case and includes a full set of high-quality setup tools and accessories: LED flashlight, loupe, pivot-to-spindle-distance gauge, and alignment gauge. The "constrained unipivot" design provides relatively easy azimuth adjustment and uses a Swiss-made point of nonmagnetic stainless steel and a sapphire cup. With the Lyra Atlas cartridge mounted in its headshell, the Durand Telos sounded "addictively glorious," with outstanding harmonic richness and a relaxed sense of musical flow. Though bass response was well textured and relatively well controlled, the Telos lacked some bottom-octave solidity and punch, decided MF. (Vol.35 No.10)
