\"Review<\/p>\n

In this month’s issue of The Absolute Sound, Kirk Midtskog had some great things to say about our Sort System\u2014 Nordost’s range of resonance control devices. After hearing the entire line of Sort products integrated into his sound system, he noticed some clear improvements: “Clean, coherent, calm. The background noise was, indeed, reduced all around. Musicians’ positions in space and the overall sonic envelope were fleshed out very well.” \u009dIn his article,\u00a0Nordost’s Sort Isolation System\u2014A Trio of Options<\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0Midtskog gives a detailed description of each of our resonance control solutions. Here are a few snippets from his article to see how each of our products fared:<\/p>\n

Sort Kone<\/strong><\/p>\n

“All three [Sort Kones] reduced haze between images and throughout the larger soundscape. They helped contribute to a more organized and less splashy presentation… As a result, images were more focused and the whole listening experience became more relaxed and involving.”\u009d<\/p>\n

Sort F\u00fct<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Sort F\u00fct helped ratchet up my system’s performance across the board without any apparent downsides.”\u009d<\/p>\n

Sort Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n

” …Sort Lift reduced background noise and enhanced upper-frequency information… [it] also notably increased liveliness, transient crispness, and overall musicality and resolution.”\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk’s\u00a0review is now available to read here:\u00a0Nordost’s Sort Isolation System\u2014A Trio of Options<\/a><\/p>\n
