The Atmosphere level 1 cable is constructed from a silver and copper matrix, with a separate ground conductor from the outer shield, which is made of silver mylar. The dielectric is modified polyethylene. There are two 6mm conductors within each cable for the left or right channels, which are then covered in high quality black netting, resulting in a reasonably thin diameter cable that is nice and flexible and is very pleasant to use. Every cable is hand made in the USA using silver solder and has been treated with what Synergistic Research refer to as ‘Quantum Tunnelling’. I looked up the website for some interesting information on the topic.

Quantum Tunnelling is a process that changes the way a cable conducts signal at the subatomic level, affecting the entire cable assembly. By applying a two million volt signal to a cable at a specific pulse modulation, and ultra-high frequency for an exact duration of time, we transform the entire cable at a molecular level.

I started with the level 1 cable connected. Changing out my normal Audio Unique Metis cable was a definite step in the right direction. Immediately I noticed additional bass speed laying a solid foundation to the music. There wasn’t any additional extension of the bass or the treble for that matter, but a tuneful vibrancy to the overall feel of the music. Tonally it was very smooth from top to bottom, neutral without any apparent glitches. There was a noticeable lack of compression, allowing music to comfortably flow. This seems to be a highlight of all Synergistic Research cables. The midrange is especially worthy of mention as it very open and natural, allowing voices and instruments to sound clean, pure and vibrant and free of grain or etch.

No matter what was played, I could detect no preferences for particular genres, along with a freedom from aberrations with all manner of naturally recorded instruments, including piano. The timing and pace of the cable is also very good. It gives a relaxed feeling, yet is capable of large dynamic contrasts when called upon. 

 

There is no darkness or artificial haze that I could detect with the Atmosphere 1 that is apparent with some cables in this price range, allowing me to come to the conclusion that it is easily the best sounding cable in its price bracket that I’ve heard. Its overall performance makes it capable of outperforming some cables at double the price, so it’s extremely good value and I have no hesitation in highly recommending it.
