In a Noisy World.
Fidelity redefined.
Technology that reveals the capabilities of your System.
Core is a multi-functional noise management system, designed for audio and built specifically for the music enthusiast.
Listening should involve Discovery- and combining Cores unique connectivity and welcoming interface the listening experience is elevated to new levels of superb articulation.
Touting new design principles, the Core is a culmination of technologies woven from several of our products. The Core features our in-house noise management system which combines discrete stages with a proprietary sound profile system called SEP™.
Great playback requires control, balance, and flexibility. Core's Sound Enhancement Profile (SEP) is a welcoming high-performance, highly interactive platform.
The tireless pursuit of musical expression.
SEP invites you to experience your favorite recordings with the same perspective and fidelity artist enjoy in a live setting. SEP plug-n-play optimization can help you choose the response that fits your music style.
One clear advantage of Core SEP changes are in-step with musical timing and precision.
Digging deep into Core SEP.
Please note, results will vary. Customer's personal notes. "TUU"- Tidal streaming. SEP activated.
".. while listening on several tracks, I notice an interesting change in texture throughout the album. I describe it as density in spaces between sounds. There is more solidity to the music. This is a tangible atmospheric shift that is a common trait of tube equipment. This is highly surprising and addictive".
Slipstreaming the delta between signal and noise.
The tech behind the Core is called Slipstream™. Slipstream is a proprietary system that neutralizes noise adding stability without compromising dynamic contrast.
The goal of a playback system is to pass signal with little compromise. Factors such as signal ground contamination and high frequency noise affects timbral accuracy and harmonic coherence. In addition, many new factors contribute to the noise floor. They include network servers and switches, USB connections and power line distortion.
The Slipstream system counteracts a wide range of noise frequencies while harmonics remain intact.
The move from Wave Stream™ to Slipstream™.
In the early years of development, the viability of the Wave Stream™filter system was tested by customers and their feedback was invaluable. To reveal the full capabilities of a system, it was also important to focus on what type of sound interaction is attractive to the listening experience. From this experimental period, the concept of an interactive tool was born.
The Core SEP helps you choose the acoustical profile that is right with your music.
"The big reveal".. Hear the music flow.
As components coalesce musical information, Core's exceptional ability to emotionally connect enriches the listening experience. Core delivers a unique combination of musical flow and interactive flexibility.
How good is the Core?
Core's user interface goes further. For veteran audiophiles who understand the importance of room set up, environmental noise is an exercise in overcoming many compromising room nodes. You can build a strong listening environment with our plug-n-play optimization system.
Core technology has been successfully implemented in many systems that include components from DCS Rossini Apex, Boulder, Wilson Audio, Nelson Pass, Infigo Audio, Kr Audio, Krell, Mola Mola, Norma audio and Lumin. The Core works with most noise control devices from Audioquest, Nordost and has proven utility with AV home theatre systems.
The Core structure..
The Core chassis is a unibody construction with emphasis on isolation pucks. Circuit topology is extremely stable.

To Find signal in a noisy world, build a bridge with the Core.
Achieving system synergy is always an issue with audio components, whether they are audiophile high-end quality or not.
The good news is Core scales with cost no object systems.
Listen and compare.
The complete Core System lineup includes the new Oasis interconnects and speaker cables. For best system performance, Oasis produces a balanced coherent tone to match the Core's unique footprint.
The Core is a universal noise solution aimed at achieving maximum sound quality from any current or future audio system.

Key summary.
Step 1. The Core is based on the Slipstream multi-device noise shunting platform.
Step 2. We provide an open source concept for user calibration. Instead of digital algorithms, we use high-speed analog filters to help you quickly engage with your music.
Step 3. While a single Core makes it possible to optimize up to six devices, a double Core system is even more revealing and immersive musical experience.
Step 4. To achieve stunning results, combine the Core with our new Oasis cable™.
The Core is a real-world noise management solution offering audiophiles a refine level of performance.
The Caprice Audio Oasis interconnects and speaker cables combine with Core SEP completes the transformation.
Brief History:
The journey began in 2016 with our first product, the Mosaic.
Reviews online at Headphone.guru, Dagogo and the Soundadvocate.
The Mosaic was three years in development and two years consumer tested.
Caprice Audio presented the original Mosaic Reference to headphone enthusiasts at Denver, Washington, DC., Chicago and New York City Head-fi Shows.
In Chicago, we received acknowledgement for outstanding performance from HiFi+ Editors Chris Martens and Alan Sircom.
Enjoy the Core's acoustical capabilities. An area to explore is the changes with room acoustics when implementing system calibration tools. The Core's interactive plug and play experience will impress even the most demanding music lover.
Each Core includes:
1. Plug and play guide and instructions.
2. Installation and system calibration support.
3. Custom high-grade acoustical filters.
4. 1 year warranty.
Contact [email protected] for information on custom options.
Our first product launch Axpona 2018.
Chris Martens Hi Fi+: "The new firm Caprice Audio showed its impressive new Mosaic Wave Stream hybrid Technology passive filter, which made for one of the more eye-opening demonstrations I heard at Canjam. Looking back over that last sentence it occurs to me that a more apt descriptor would be to call the Mosaic a passive noise floor reducer".
"The diversity in equipment is mind blowing. The challenge to audiophiles is how to properly match all the pieces to produce a desirable outcome. The Core is an important step in managing and optimizing all components to function as one musical system." Luis Alberto

"What I found amazing was the effect (Mosaic) builds over time.
Why this should be
I have no idea, but it is completely unprecedented. After 24 hours I was able to perceive about a 3db drop in noise floor (with no signal present)...after a couple of days it may have fallen even further".

The Core is a new multi-functional system built for the Audio enthusiast. You will be thrilled with the new interface giving users ultimate flexibility.
It is more important to focus on finding system synergy than focusing on the individual component when seeking the highest system performance.
"..The improvements I did notice was an exceptionally expanded soundstage, instruments had better timbre or tonality, the bass is cleaner (less bloated), and lastly, digital files and CD's had less of an edge or more of that vinyl sound- a small price to pay for such enhancements". The one thing I do regret is that I didn't have two Reference units to try on my Volterra loudspeakers- oh such regret!
I know that audio enthusiasts will have endless hours of enjoyment playing the "game" of Mosaic as the combinations available will keep you involved...."
theSoundadvocate.com Review by Marvin Bolden
If I were rating this product, I will give it 11 out of 10. I have a long list of reasons but the main one is the transformation. My Tidal master quality tracks sound phenomenal! When I added the second Mosaic, I no longer feel the need to upgrade anything in my system. I am sorry for not believing you. You should be glad to hear, I am keeping both ELITE Mosaics. Two is better than one!
