Phyis is a purveyor of research in improving sound quality..
That reputation did not come easily – it took decades of hard work and thorough attention to detail.
All underpinned by a rigorous scientific method and a commitment to excellence in all things.
From the start, Physis invested heavily in research. It is something that continues to this day. Our focus was initially on researching the effects of different conductors, insulators, and construction formulations.
Physis story goes way back
In 1980, a researcher at the Dutch Laboratory of the Dutch Broadcasting Corporation (NOB) began his development with experimental research in search of improved sound quality.
One of the tasks was to find out if the electrical components affect the quality of the sound produced. Initially, the attention of the researcher was focused only on audio signals, after that, the field of study expanded to include optical signals.
That was on both empirical and subjective performance. In other words, we wanted to find out what makes cables sound the way that they do.
Long research led to the possibility of creating a specific product based on carbon, after a series of painstaking experiments, the researchers of Physis found the right modification and all errors were taken into account and corrected.
The effect of the developed product is unparalleled and can delight people who are versed in the audio field.
Soon, it was clear that existing measurement techniques were unable to explain audible differences, so we challenge you to test it yourself!

The extraordinary story goes on...
- An unusually deep sound comparable to the real presence, not the audio version of the performance.
- The sound source with its accompanying effects does not change its position, both when playing through the speakers and in headphones.
- The center of the delivered sound, using this innovation, no longer depends on the position of the listener or on the position of the speakers, which was a big problem before.
- The presence of a third person between the sound source and the listener no longer interferes and does not change either the quality or the presentation of the sound.
- The sound is delivered equally loudly throughout the space in which it is played.
- Loudspeakers are no longer sound sources.
- Low notes are reproduced with natural lightness and extraordinary fullness, even with relatively small speakers. High notes are reproduced with a clarity and lack of harshness that distracts the listener on many modern recordings. In addition, analog tape recording loses a certain degree of sharpness. This mainly concerns the reproduction quality of stringed instruments.
- The influence of “treble” and “slope” filters on sound, even if they are clearly measurable, is greatly reduced in the perception of the listener.
- The measured signal ratio of the noise signal in the circuit before and after the modification remains identical, but, nevertheless, when listening to the modified circuit, the noise appears softer and less obvious.
- When listening through headphones, sounds are perceived not only from left to right, as in conventional systems, but also from the front and back, and from above and below. In addition, the source of the sound is no longer felt as inside the head, but as if it occurs outside of it, around.
- When listening to this system, some are faced with the impression that they themselves are part of the sound, while others take part in it. For many, this feeling of "presence" was shocking, and moreover, it was impossible to get rid of this experience, during subsequent auditions, without this development, the sound was no longer satisfying. Some were left with the impression of participating in two realities, on the one hand, sitting in a room, listening to a composition with a pair of speakers, on the other hand, being present at a musical performance. Illusion has a unique sense of reality, an unrealistic event under existing conditions.
