… the FosterVu is one of the most transparent dynamic loudspeakers I have heard, projecting the image far beyond my room in both depth and width.

…surprised by the noticeable improvements in clarity and details (…) heard after installation…

Francisco Duran of Positive Feedback on Cloud22
I liked the Gingko Audio products a lot. They worked very well in my system. Both individually and collectively. They also worked well regardless of the build quality of the components. They are affordable, relatively easy to install, and are built to a high standard. As each product was installed we heard a definite sonic improvement to one degree or another. Similarly, as we took them out one by one, the sonic effects worked in the opposite way.

Frank Iacone of HiFiAudio Guru on VCS Toolkit
This room tuning kit is a must for anyone wanting to really hear their systems. The differences were enormous and well worth the money.

John Zurek of Positive Feedback on VCS Toolkit – Part 2
Both the Cloud22 bases and the Cloud22 wool balls allow the midrange to shine through like nothing I’ve heard before, and make you want to dance. Gingko has some real champs on their hands here, and I recommend that you audition any or all of the products in this review.

John Zurek of Positive Feedback on VCS Toolkit – Part 1
These days, more than ever, I look for a price-to-performance ratio that makes sense for this economically challenging time, and the ARCHs fit right in with my philosophy […] Using ARCHs designed for components, speakers, and cables allowed my system to sing at a higher level when they were used collectively vs. individually.

John Zurek of Positive Feedback on ARCH Platform
Why is it the ARCH Platform sounds better than just using the ARCHs directly under the feet of the component? I couldn’t have placed all six mini ARCHs under my preamp because of the way it is built, and I’m sure the correct weight loading—i.e. how many ARCHs you place in the Platform for the component you’re using—really makes a difference. The Platform allows you to get that weight ratio correct, and you can easily experiment with the number of ARCHs to tailor your sound.

Frank Iacone of Headphone Guru on Clarissa LE
The [Clarissa LE] speakers sounded transparent with excellent soundstaging and midrange that were alive and loaded with transparency. …. truly an impressive room and sound that was inviting and musical.

Howard Kneller of SoundStage! Global on Clarissa LE
… the Clarissa LE speakers appeared to reveal just what they were fed. When the electronics and recording dictated expansive dynamics, a deep and large soundstage, and rich harmonic textures, the speakers delivered. When the component pairing was not ideal, the speakers revealed that too.

Vibration isolation – Gingko mini ARCHs
Everything I had enjoyed up to the insertion of the mini-ARCHs was now elevated. Individual instruments and voices in the music were easier to follow, existed in their own space and had improved tonal characteristics. This translates into better attach and more natural, extended decay (for example the strike of a cymbal and its shimmering tone as it fades off). Bass notes have better tone and are much clearer.

John Zurek of Positive Feedback on ARCH
The first thing you notice with the ARCHs is a big improvement to overall transparency and clarity. That alone is worth the price of admission. I also heard an expanded soundstage, improved imaging, incredible separation/layering, and a blacker background.

Glen Wagenknecht of 6moons on ARCH
On a fundamental level where judiciously employed, the Acoustic Resonance Clarifiers could make marked enhancements in the enunciation of information in the critical lower mid through upper octaves of an electronic component or loudspeaker. Such results require patience and come with a proviso.
