The all-new Ultra-Q and Ultra Series filters represent a new standard for performance in our industry.  Our new entry-level products achieve the highest level of performance for racks and amp stands regardless of who makes them—they are even better than our top-of-the-line OLYMPUS. But don't worry, our MAXXUM and OLYMPUS will soon be upgraded to a higher performance standard. Announcements will be made about this in the future.

The Ultra-Q rack and Amps Stand Architecture:

We decided to replace the QXK with a trickle-down version of our OLYMPUS architecture with a twist.  The photo above shows a "reverse" image of the OLYMPUS with a black horizontal face, but the machined edges and engravings are highlighted in silver.  Here are some features of the Ultra-Q architecture:

  • 7 times greater Mass
  • Deeper footprint for greater stability
  • Lower Noise floor
  • OLYMPUS design elements

The all-new Ultra-Diamond, Ultra-Platinum, and Sapphire2 Filters:

We decided to replace the Black Diamond and the Black Platinum with a trickle-down version of our OLYMPUS architecture, ONLY BETTER.  The Sapphire2 is improved but is not an Ultra.  For Sapphire2, we decided to keep the technology simple for the sake of a price point.

Compare us to any and all other competitors. Below are the elements that make the Ultra-Diamond and Ultra-Platinum, the best in the industry:

  • Dual Zone, 12-stage damping system
    • 3 "fixed" damping stages that do not change
    • 1 "self-adjusting" zone that changes its dimensions in response to the remaining 8 manipulated stages
    • 8 "manipulated" damping stages perfected down to 1/1,000 and even 1/10,000 of an inch to find the perfect balance of damping to avoid over-damping and/or under-damping the component. For simplicity's sake, you might say it cancels out its own noise.
    • Internal pressurization from 500 lbs to 1500 lbs. (patented) to optimize performance and virtually eliminate weight ranges.

We field tested the new Ultra-Q with Ultra-Diamond, Ultra-Platinum, and Sapphire2 filters in 2 rooms at the Capital Audiofest 2022; the Potomac room with VAC, VSA, and the Audio Company and the Wilson room with The Voice That Is, representing Tidal and Vinnie Rossi.  The results were extraordinary.
