Hey Up Shane I've been using Atlas Hyper interconnects for a good few years now. I have compared them to many others but the Hyper cables are bloody stunning. I use them between DAC and preamp and also pre to power. The sound is full and strong and the stereo image is huge and very wide in comparison to QED interconnects and also cheaper Atlas (Equator) interconnects.

They are good, well made, simple no nonsense cables that are not pumped up with any hype.

By any chance. Have you tried the cheaper 'Element' interconnects?

No Shane only the Equator ones.

I’ve got a pair I no longer use, think they’re pretty well made and work well. I’ll check the model name and let you know.

I'm using Hyper 3.0 speaker cables, which I'm happy with (although I haven't compared with others with these speakers), and my interconnects are still old Equators. Probably worth upgrading these then?

In my view they offer great performance for an ‘affordable’ price. I’ve used them for years and still a fan, that’s why I sell them :)

Atlas cables are all excellent and good value. The secret is the purity of Copper and as you go up the ranges, the construction is that much better than most other makes.

The Element Superior Integra incons have been very popular with my customers.

The only negative, as far as I am concerned, are the hard to remember names.

I have equator ic/speaker cable they are pretty good and very well constructed.

you have to spend a few bob to make significant gains.

I bought the Asimi XlR interconnect recently for use between an energiser and CD player. Although silver it’s very open, non fatiguing yet detailed and dynamic. The best interconnect I’ve heard so far. Wouldn’t call it a bargain though....

I'm not a big fan. The Atlas Ascent 3.5ii speaker cables I reviewed some years ago were excellent in many ways but I admired them more than loved them.

A friend subsequently tried a later version and agreed they still sounded pretty much the same as I said in the review.

Im using a 2m pair of this speaker cable on my system that i picked up cheap 2nd hand, i think they may have been chopped from a longer run as they are bare wire one end. They made an incredible difference over the fairly heavy gauge fig 8 multi strand cable i was using previously. Transparent is how i would describe them and they help to paint a very wide and deep soundstage but its more of a wall of sound rather than holographic (in my system). Probably the best value hifi I’ve bought to be fair think i paid £70.

If I didn't now make my own cables, Atlas would be my first choice. Used various of their products in the past, and they were all excellent, sounding good, solid design and well-made. They replaced various much more expensive Nordost and Audio Note cables, with no loss of quality. Recommended ... especially second-hand :thumbsup:

I’ve had a few atlas ic and speaker cables and am now using atlas ic’s after trying others costing a lot more, as far as I’m concerned one of the best bargins in hi fi, only beaten just by audience lm looking for some atlas speaker cables now,

Andyrlb of this parish had a 2.5 metre pair of Hyper 2.0 for sale about 3 weeks ago - doesn't seem like he's sold them, and look like a bit of a bargain...
