Stratus vs Aurora

The change from Stratus to Aurora was noticeable and quickly made itself felt in a clearer three-dimensional localization of virtual sources. Contrasting both cables, the Aurora showed a slightly better separation of instruments on stage and more illuminated treble, which more clearly depicted and exposed brass percussion instruments, with clearer and more energetic sounding cymbals, hi-hats, bells or even hits on the brass edge of the snare drum sounding clearer and more precise. The midrange, and in particular the vocals, captured more nuances from the environment, so the sound was surrounded by a greater dose of information, which sometimes made the overall timbre of the vocals duller, losing the emotional atmosphere of the tangible presence of the artist along the way. Not that it's bad, but less atmospheric than on the lower positioned Stratus. The vocals gain greater purity and a blacker background that surrounds them, but loses the breath of air in the artist's voice, which is magical filling and naturalness. The first impression of plugging the Aurora into the system is a slightly extended and clearer midrange with a lot of three-dimensional information. The bass is well controlled, and the lowest Hz sounds clearly better and definitely stronger. As a whole, the sound is well conducted and brings many positive changes, especially if we switch from a regular power cable. This opens up a wider stage, faster and better controlled dynamics, and beautifully illuminated treble in a three-dimensional halo of a more spacious and well-differentiated sound with a large dose of dynamics and clear details.
