Nordost Cables All Nordost cables share a common design theme. That design is solid core conductors. Depending on the application, either flat rectangular solid oxygen free copper conductors, or fine micro-litz round conductors, strand interaction is eliminated. This significantly reduces the well documented audible distortions caused by skin effect and magnetic field interactions. This is done by using an extremely precise extrusion of FEP and a very precise conductor spacing which keeps capacitance and inductance extremely low. In addition, the use of our proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology increases signal bandwidth in our video cable and reference cable range. This in turn results in cables which typically transmit signals at over 90% the speed of light. This is 20 to 25% faster than conventional cables resulting in a tremendous improvement in musical accuracy and clarity.
Analysis Plus Constructed of pure silver over a stabilizing strand of oxygen-free copper, woven into a patented hollow oval geometry in an oval-coaxial configuration. Interconnects are wrapped with an open braided shield for ultra quiet, noise free performance.
Nirvana Audio Referred to by many as the worlds finest Ultra-Fi cabling, Nirvana's products are radically different, as is the design implementation executed to obtain the identical result for each individual cable application. Based on a combination of modern science and theories long neglected, combined with today's finest ultra-pure aerospace grade materials, a new frontier has been opened. Nirvana's product line is not only the Pinnacle of Accuracy but also demonstrates the ability to deliver the ambiance of the event along with the emotion of the artist.
Silversmith Audio. Silversmith Audio's cables reflect their design philosophy in its purest form: A single conductor per polarity - an ultra-thin ribbon conductor, seamless from end to end, without traditional solder or crimp connectors, and encased in an extremely thin wall Teflon™ tube system designed to maintain a primarily air dielectric. The state-of-the-art palladium alloy conductor does not oxidize and improves upon the skin-effect related characteristics of gold, silver, copper, and aluminum by up to 25 fold.
Basis Audio. Basis Audio introduces the Basis Cable System. The first audio cables to use the true science of wide-band constant phase signal transmission theory, Basis signal cables achieve levels of naturalness, imaging, musicality, detail, dynamics, and bass response never before heard in any cables at any price. Featured in the Basis Cable System are the “Perfect Signal Transmission Technology” Interconnect and Speaker Cables and “Hy-Per Shield Technology” Power Cable.
Shindo Cables. Shindo Laboratory has been producing the finest home audio equipment for over thirty years. Handmade in Japan, Shindo has finally come to America. Shindo Laboratory was established in 1977 with one goal in mind, to create the best musical experience in the home. Ken Shindo and his wife Harumi have been hard at work six days a week for almost 30 years quietly designing and refining what they refer to as "The music mind". It takes more than just a degree from electronics school to create the highest level of realism from hi-fi; It takes passion, skill, an open mind and a life long quest for perfection.
Auditorium 23. "Along with the Leben, Jonathan Halpern also sent a 2.5m set of Auditorium 23 loudspeaker cable that retails for $880. Rarely do reviewers -- let alone audiophiles -- agree on anything. However, in this instance I am in total agreement with my colleagues. The Auditorium 23 is easily the finest speaker cable I have had in my system yet. Like the CS-300X, no one area stands out as this green cotton-clad cable excels at walking that ever-tricky tightrope between resolution and musicality. The Auditorium 23 is a touch expensive to these cost-conscious ears yet I believe they are worth consideration and have clicked with every amp/speaker combo I've tried to date (and this from a guy who frowns upon mixing and matching different brands of cables). " - Paul Candy on the A23 Speaker Cables
Harmonic Resolution Systems Inc. (HRS) isolation bases are a primary element for significantly reducing structural borne noise in any audio or video component. All of our isolation bases are design based on a unique concept invented by Michael Latvis of Harmonic Resolution Systems. They provide significant performance gain to a very wide range of components and systems. The isolation bases load directly into the HRS racks as the shelf system. The frames optimize isolation base performance while offering unique flexibility and functionality. It is the last system you will ever need.
