Alan Sircom is no stranger to Nordost.\u00a0As he makes clear in his article, using Nordost products (whether they be cables, power products, or resonance control devices) will elevate the performance of your sound system, making all of your components seem more cohesive. With the introduction of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordost.com\/sort-systems\/sort-lift.php\" target=\"_blank\" data-hs-link-id=\"0\">Sort Lift<\/a>, Alan was able to address his system from all angles: electronics, loudspeakers, and cabling.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><p>&#8220;Whether Sort Systems is the start, mid-way, or the end point in your Nordost journey, these components work, work in harmony with one another, and combine perfectly with Nordost&#8217;s more commonly thought of system components. Highly recommended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The unSorted sound is like your system on a bad hair day. The soundstage seems to fold in on itself, the natural sense of harmonic overtones, and sense of musical structure to the sound has weakened.
