⊚ WORLD PREMIERE ⊚
⌈ VERICTUM is a Polish company specializing in filtering the supply voltage and passive EMI / RFI filters. Starting with the first product, the X Bulk mass filter, which we tested in 2015, it presents refined products, different from any other available on the market. Its name consists of two Latin words VERI + ICTUM, meaning 'real influence'. Currently, its lineup also includes power cables, speaker cables and interconnects. ⌋
got to know VERICTUM in 2015, when its then bosses - PAWEŁ CZUBRYT, research and development director and Mr. MAREK STAJNDOR, development director - brought to me the X BULK ground filter (HF January 16, 2015 ⸜ № 134, test HERE). Today no one is surprised by this type of products, one could even say that it is surprising if they are not used, but then for many it was sort of a "black magic" and to present it to the public took a lot ot of courage.
Behind the courage, however, there was a solid engineering knowledge and hours spent on testing and listening to subsequent prototypes. So it was a calculated risk. In the long run, knowledge and experience turn out to be invaluable capital on which one can build something more than ephemera. Subsequent products of this company, run for a long time (successfully, let's add) by Mr. Czubryt himself, confirmed the assumptions made at that time and showed that the techniques used by the company are valuable, scalable and that can be used in various products.
And although after the X Bulk artificial ground the company presented company presented passive EMI / RFI X BLOCK filters, and later X FUSE fuses and the COGITARI power strip, they were still operating within the framework of this first, initial product. The power strip in question was, in fact, a signal that the Verictum offer is opening up to new products. It was a natural move, because a manufacturer needs a fairly wide range in order to develop. In addition, the previously used solutions can also be used in other types of products - audio cables.

WHILE WORKING ON THE DEMIURG SP, we measured the parameters we were interested in, but the most important thing for us was assessing results through thorough listening sessions to each of the tuning concepts and development stages (emphasis - ed.).
Our reference system features a complete Verictum power supply and filtering system, and the listening room has been professionally acoustically adapted. The system is refined and optimally tuned to be a perfect tool for our work and listening to music. It allows us to verify the sound quality quite precisely. The system shows even the smallest changes in the sound, all simplifications and deficiencies in the construction of the soundstage, body, micro-sounds, timbre, shading, etc. in the entire frequency range.
