Already a firm favourite with us, the Atlas easily retains its five stars when pitched into the ring for a second time.
It's a well-made cable, its design eschewing the more showy finish of some rivals in favour of a modest silver-braided outer jacket and chunky plugs.
Sound is admirably balanced, the composed treble neatly complemented by solidly planted, appropriately forceful bass and an open, expressive midrange.
