Mike has been in audio manufacturing since 2002, starting with the well known Silver Reference and Silver Signature line of cables. The next step in Verastarr’s progression was to take on amplifier manufacturing, and in 2003 the all American built SSA-64 became the most powerful rack mounted multichannel amplifier in existence. This was to answer the demand for larger and larger home theater builds, as well as to bridge the gap between Home Theater and 2 channel Hi-Fi. The Verastarr SSA-64 was known for its incredible transparency and dynamics. The SSA-64 is still being used in one of the most prestigious mastering studios in the nation.  In 2008, Verastarr released the breakthrough Grand Illusion power cable; utilizing high purity solid foils instead of wire, and gained critical acclaim with industry reviewers and professional users alike. In 2009 Mike Powell was personally chosen by Mr. Mark Levinson as a High End audio marketing expert for a project with industry giant LG Electronics in South Korea. At the same time, strong industry bonds were formed for Verastarr as a provider of top level reference cables. 

Verastarr was created to bring integrity and design excellence to the cable side of Hi-Fi.

VERASTARR AudioFoils are designed to preserve the integrity of recorded music. Once the music signal leaves your source, all bets are off and high integrity cabling is crucial. Your sonic results are in the hands of the cable manufacturer. When using high quality audio equipment, much care was taken in the creation of your components. They are designed to reproduce the music accurately. This means when the signal leaves the source, the cable manufacturers job is to preserve the signal integrity exactly as it leaves that component, and all the way to the speakers. Cables or wires originally designed to carry electricity are not optimized to preserve musical signal. Some cable companies use high quality electrical wire with nice connectors for Hi-Fi cables. You could do the same thing yourself and they will sound OK. Although cables made with special materials and construction to optimize high level audio performance are much preferred.
