The Ailsa cable series has become a firm favourite of ours, and this Ultra Latik version takes things up several notches.
Like the rest of the models it's just such a great all rounder - but here it takes all the elements that make the standard version so special and simply improves on them all. So it retains a very low sonic signature, this of course leads to very good transparency and a feeling of calm quiet backgrounds from which fine details appear from.
Tonally it's spot on (as you'd expect from Atlas) with an especially well fleshed out richness to instruments that is often missed. It's not lacking in any punch or dynamics either, and I suspect due to the care put into the cable construction itself the timing is spot on, getting the toes tapping with ease and invariably making listening sessions last much longer than anticipated.
The sound has significant weight and scale when required too, there's a feeling of power and potency that only comes with very well extended low frequencies, and I suspect this is also linked to the additional openness, air and space at the top end, as the two invariably go hand in hand.
The Ultra versions manages this by being a different geometry over the more affordable version. Gone is the coaxial construction, replace by a multi strand configuration with the Atlas Dual Drain screening and Grun grounding options. This makes the cable slightly thicker (+1mm diameter) and slightly less flexible, but not to the degree this is likely to ever cause a problem.
The plugs are the Ultra Latik design, which feature a clever internal 3D printed lattice structure.
The cables are also 'Grun ready', so can be used with the optional Grun grounding cables.
