Purepower 1050i

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:12 +0000

We believe that the sounds and images that come from your system should be the ones that were introduced intentionally – not those that arrived unintentionally from your utility or through your house wiring. We believe the music shouldn't suddenly stop or the screen flicker and dim or a recording operation fail when the utility power has a momentary sag or a short outage. We believe that power problems such as surges, spikes, transients, and harmonic distortion shouldn't damage and destroy expensive components catastrophically, or slowly by chronic overheating. Pure Power In > Pure Sound Out The PurePower™ APS provides truly regenerated pure power regardless of what problems exist in your utility supply. This is accomplished through our double conversion technology. We convert the incoming power to produce a clean DC current, then recreate a 50hz 230 volt AC wave form from the DC. No spikes, sags, surges or other power disturbances can be passed through from input to output. Accurate voltage specs prevent current reduction. Some products designed to clean or filter the power can reduce the current to your amplifier. The PurePower™ APS maintains a 230 volt output +/- 3% with up to 92% energy efficiency and a power factor of more than .95. All of our APS models can deliver their full rated wattage even during short or long duration power sags. In fact, they deliver continuous full power even if you're getting extended periods of as low as 180 volts at the wall outlet. If you have spent time, money and effort to assemble a superior set of components that are capable of delivering a high level of audio and video performance, make sure they are given a source of clean, pure, continuous electrical power to ensure they have a chance to perform to their utmost.

PS Audio Digital Link III DAC

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

If you want to enjoy music from a digital source, like a CD, DVD player or computer, you need to first convert it from digital information to analog information. That is the function of the digital to analog converter, or DAC for short. DAC’s are the cornerstone of all modern digital equipment. Many CD players and DVD players have built in DAC’s, but these are rarely as good as the best outboard DAC’s. PS Audio’s new Digital Link III is perhaps one of the finest sounding DAC’s on the market today at any price and clearly superior to any built in D to A converter we have auditioned.

Neat Momentum 4i Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The Momentum 4i is a full range 2.5-way iso-baric floorstanding design which uses four drive units in each enclosure. Iso-baric loading is a familiar feature on Neat loudspeakers, this being our favoured system for delivering exemplary bass performance. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order. The iso-baric principle is exploited in quite a radical way in the design of the Momentum 4i, which features two 6.5" bass drive units in an integral subwoofer arrangement (this part of the system is hidden from view). An ‘Ultimatum’ type bass/midrange main driver then handles frequencies up to the crossover point, where the latest version of our ‘NMT’ inverted titanium dome tweeter, with its extended HF response, takes over.

Digital Stylus Force Gauge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

This gauge is identical (non branded) to the Well Tempered labs gauge which retails for $299.00. It comes with a calibration weight and a funky little case. We tested several Linn Arms which had been correctly set up to track at 1.75 grams only to find this gauge revealed they were tracking up to .6 grams out. This reduces the performance and longevity of any cartridge significantly. The Rega RB-300 arm we tested produced a reading that was even further out. (reading 1.5g actual 1.9). This is huge!! Dialing in your correct tracking force is absolutely essential for optimal record playback. If you miss on the heavy side, your sound becomes thick and sluggish. Miss on the light side, and your cartridge is more likely to mistrack and the sound will be light and anemic. This gauge will accurately read your tracking force within .001 grams. So stop messing with those mechanical stylus balances that aren't even accurate. This is one case where digital makes more sense when it comes to fine-tuning your analog.

Neat Momentum 3i Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The Momentum 3i is a compact 2-way iso-baric bookshelf/standmount design, measuring 38 x 22 x 27cm (hwd). Don’t be fooled by this unassuming modesty - this is a real heavyweight contender with giant-killing credentials. Here, the benefits of iso-baric bass loading combine with the significant virtues of a compact enclosure - to magnificent effect. All of the drive units used in the Momentum models are custom-made to Neat Acoustics’ specifications. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.

Neat Elite SX Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry, walnut, rosenut and black ash. Unlike most bass reflex designs, the ELITE SX incorporates an innovative staggered port tuning design. This carefully judged system delivers a very convincing full-bodied bass performance, far more impressive than might be expected for such a small enclosure. The cabinet is raised above a plinth of solid slate, chosen for its superior bass control and midrange precision.

Neat Petite SX Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The main drive unit is the latest version of that used in the upmarket Ultimatum range; a 6.5” doped paper cone with a ferrite magnet assembly and vented voice coil to enable high power handling without compression. The tweeter used in the SX is a soft-fabric dome type with internal damping and a non-resonant chamber.

It has the same tonal balance and wide dispersion characteristics, as with all PMC designs, providing a room filling audio picture outstanding for both stereo and surround configurations. The combination of size, ease of drive and performance has made the TB2 a favourite amongst not only audiophile but premier broadcasters such as the BBC TV & radio, ITV, BSkyB® & Formula One™ racing. The TB2 resolves information as a perfect professional monitor should and presents it with grip and speed. In short, they ‘rock'.

Neat Motive 1 Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

Although this is the taller of the two floorstanders in the Motive range, the Motive 1 is nevertheless a compact and elegant model. It will blend discreetly into your living room whilst its performance gives little away to larger and more expensive models. This loudspeaker uses a two and half-way configuration where the lower unit reproduces bass to underpin the full-range bass-mid driver.

Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua Low Output Cartridge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The original Te Kaitora cartridge was the result of collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector New Zealand. The Te Kaitora allowed analogue enthusiasts to embark on a voyage of discovery to the outer limits of vinyl reproduction. The improved Te Kaitora Rua continues the journey by incorporating many of the newest features of its Dynavector stable-mates, the XV-1s and XX-2. The Te Kaitora Rua has even managed to improve on the original's silk-like treble and openness.

Dynavector DV-XX2 mkII Low Output Cartridge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The DV XX-1 was the first cartridge to feature a "magnetic flux damper" (patent) and softened magnetism" (patent) processes that reject the magnetic fluctuation that is detrimental to a moving coil cartridges performance. The The DV XX-2 MKII retains the benefit of the flux damper but features the Alinco-5 magnet and the similar rigid construction to the Te Kaitora Rua.

Dynavector DV-17D3 Low Output Cartridge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The main change to the new Dynavector 17D3 is an improvement in the design of the front yoke. This appears, on the surface, to be a small difference yet contributes to a greatly improved overall performance justifying a model number change. The new yoke improves focus in the magnetic circuit and in combination with the flux damping mechanism and softened magnetism (patent) gives accurate sonic qualities leading to a very natural sound. The change has also enabled a useful increase in output to 0.3mV.

Dynavector DV-20XH High Output Cartridge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

DV-20X has a solid aluminium-alloy body similar to the XX-2. This makes a rigid platform for the cartridge motor and aids secure fitting to the arm. The cantilever is a 6mm length hard aluminium pipe cantilever with a Micro-Ridge diamond stylus. The magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism along with powerful Neodymium magnet gives out the 20XH a healthy 2.8 mV output at a suitable impedance for most MM inputs. The 20XL has an output of 0.3 mV ideal for most MC phono stage.

Dynavector DV-10X5 High Output Cartridge

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The Dynavector 10X series High Output Moving Coil cartridge debuted in 1978 winning the prestigious Design and Engineering Award at the Chicago CES in both 1978 and 1981.

Shahinian Obelisk Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:22 +0000

The OBELISK is the first loudspeaker designed and produced in 1977. At the time, its shape and acoustical disposition were considered radical. Today it is positively conservative compared to what has come and gone. It was kind of a "first," but its durability over the years is not due to novelty as much as its absolute performing superiority. It has been revised several times as new, exciting technology and devices appeared.

Shahinian Arc 3-Way Speaker Pair

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:23 +0000

The ARC represents the very essence of our design philosophy. A refined reduction of the Citation 13 which I (Richard) designed in 1970 at Harman-Kardon, it is the synthesis of 30 years of investigation into loudspeaker geometry. Cost-effective, compact, elegant, flexible, ideally suited for reproduction of natural instruments and voices. Its vertical, angular, indirect presentation produces such a sense of effortless space, as to make most conventional speakers sound like mistakes. (Which they are, anyway, so there!) Seriously, though, the ARC is so convincing in its re-creation of the real event, one concentrates on the music and forgets the means.

Phrases like articulate, powerful, punchy and expressive have been impartial comments made about the original GB1. Now with the extensive upgrades that bring it to status its performance levels exceed the expectations of the most demanding critic. Its slender form blends seamlessly into any modern interior and does not suggest the sheer level of performance it achieves. It belies its size in both depth of bass and the scale of image taking any music or movie material in its stride.

PMC TB2i Speaker Pair Cherry Finish

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:27 +0000

The TB2 shares many of the remarkable attributes and awards of its smaller brother, the DB1, in a larger stand mounted form. With its new PMC designed 6 1/2 inch bass unit it allows for higher volume levels, increased bass extension and dynamics, making it suited to both large and small listening rooms. It has the same tonal balance and wide dispersion characteristics, as with all PMC designs, providing a room filling audio picture outstanding for both stereo and surround configurations.

Naim Nait 5i Four Input Integrated Amplifier

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:27 +0000

The new NAIT 5i is the latest iteration of Naim's fabled entry-level amplifier bringing enhanced performance and usability over its highly regarded predecessor. The most noticeable change is perhaps the addition of a convenient iPod/MP3 player input on its front panel. Within its incredibly sturdy chassis numerous design upgrades elevate its musical performance to even greater heights. These include improved ceramic heat sinking, restructured cabling, and circuit changes to lower distortion and improve RF rejection. All these add up to provide a substantial improvement in this amazing amplifier's already class-leading performance. The NAIT 5i naturally forms a wholly synergistic partner for the CD5i CD player. Together they provide the perfect and most cost-effective introduction to Naim system ownership. There’s a long Naim tradition of the NAIT Integrated Amplifier punching above its weight. It began with the original NAIT in 1983 and continues now with the NAIT 5i. Although the recent introduction of the SUPERNAIT represents the current state-of the-art for integrated designs, the NAIT 5i remains a superb and cost-effective introduction to the Naim sound for those who don't require the SUPERNAIT's advanced features and capabilities.

Naim NAC-202 Six Input Control Preamp

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:27 +0000

The Naim NAC 202 combines first-class sound quality with flexibility, style and excellent value. Significant improvements in technology led to an entirely new range using new high quality star-earthed circuit boards, combining the classic Naim values of musicality and power with flexibility and value. The Naim NAC 202 may either be powered by a NAP 150 or NAP 200 amplifier or significantly upgraded by adding Naim power supplies to independently feed the analogue audio and digital control circuits. Low-resonance circuit boards and anti-vibration, resonance controlling feet minimize the effect of microphonic vibration on the highly sensitive electronic components.

Naim NAP-200 Power Amplifier

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:27 +0000

During the years of research that went into the NAP 500 amplifier, many technical developments were made that could be successfully applied to the existing products. Many of these developments, along with the elegant new styling have been incorporated, resulting in the 'Classic' line-up. Like the flagship NAP 500, the NAP 200 uses a new circuit design with improved earthing arrangements built on a very high quality, anti-resonance main audio circuit board. Anti-vibration, resonance-controlling feet serve to protect the sensitive internal components from resonance and microphonic vibration.

Chord Company Crimson 2 RCA to 2 RCA 1m

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:50:27 +0000

The Chord Crimson replaces The Chord Company's first ever interconnect cable, the Chord Chrysalis. Although a completely new design the Crimson is a good example of the way a product evolves. The oxygen free, multi-stranded copper conductors are identical in strand diameter to the conductors used in the Chrysalis, but whilst the Chrysalis used a co-axial configuration the Crimson, like other interconnects in the Chord Range uses a pseudo-balanced circuit path. Using identical conductors for the signal and return paths improves a cable's ability to accurately carry dynamic information and also to transmit greater levels of detail. Extra $25 per metre of cable.
