Accessories

We've taken the accessories we recommend seriously and only after careful consideration do we make them available to our clients. They must improve the performance of our systems and truly be audible while presenting excellent value.



Purist Audio Design Ultimate USB Cable

Purist Audio Design is pleased to introduce the All New Ultimate USB Audio Cable. The USB cable is specifically designed for computer audio applications. The design improves upon our previous cable by including passive filtering and a totally new cable design. The Ultimate uses the largest gauge conductors allowed by USB standards to allow for accurate signal transfer up to 5 meters compared with other computer USB cables, which are limited to a few meters. This allows computers can be located away from audio components without compromising performance.
The Purist Audio Design Ultimate USB Cable utilizes precision construction techniques and superior noise rejection result in a richer, more natural sound compared with computer USB cables. The cable also incorperates low noise dielectrics and double shielding providing superior noise performance for better resolution of musical details and a wider dynamic range.

The USB cable is available in lengths from 1 meter to 5.0 meters


StereoLab TOMBO TRON Digital Cable

The Stereolab's TOMBO TRON cable is the creation of Chris Sommovigo and hand built to exacting specifications.

It begins life as a very precise 75 Ohm (+/- 1 Ohm) coaxial cable with a raw bandwidth of tens of GHz. It is then treated with long-cycle cryogenic freezing and thawing to relax intercrystalline stresses in the signal conductor's metal lattice before being drawn off for a TRON cable.

Our first demonstration of the TRON's abilities forced us to reconsider the importance of digital interconnects and the TRON quickly became a new reference. Due to the hand-built nature of TRON and exacting standards required, the cable is a limited production item.


PranaWire LineBacker

The Linebacker In-Line Power Filter offers unprecidented reduction of noise. It is utterly transformative. The Linebacker is a completely passive in-line power filter that works on several major fronts:
1.) It effectively absorbs massive amounts of parasitic and self-generated noise on power cable lines and prevents it from entering into the component it is plugged into
2.) It prevents environmental noise from entering the system through the mains
3.) It's maximally damped structure and cable quell cable, connector and airborne resonances before they enter the system.

The Linebacker will remove noise that you did not even know was there and render an extremely solid and palpably holographic sound stage. Bass is dramatically improved with new found focus. The Linebacker is a truly transformative device!

CA Electronics Ceramic Cable Elevators

The CA-Electronics Ceramic Cable Elevators effectively damp small vibrations that influence the signal in any audio cables lying on the floor. Using Ceramic Cable Elevators prevents the occurence of microphony and eleminates micro distortion, thus leaving your sound more clear and more focused. As the Cable Elevator is made out of our specially improved Ceramics, it is very electrical resistive and will effectively prevent interference from static electricity induced by carpets.

These cable lifters are made out of especially chosen and improved ceramic material. They are smooth on the outside but very irregular structured on the inside. Vibrations in the whole frequency range are transferred in heat. In short, they are ideal for the job.

Black Ravioli

The Black Ravioli design is focused on the audio system, not just individual components. It considers issues arising from vibration during the complete process of reproducing an audio or visual performance. It is not an objective of the Black Ravioli System to absolutely remove vibration.

The key feature where the Black Ravioli system stands out from the norm is that it deals with both the cause and the consequence of vibration at the same time, in the same package. It does this by conditioning the replay system during both dynamic and quiescent states.

Oyaide R1 Receptacle

The importance of high quality power supply connections is now widely accepted. Many enthusiasts install dedicated power lines for their hi fi systems and no longer question the importance of the quality of the receptacle fitted to the wall. Conventional "hospital grade" connectors can improve the strength of the mechanical connection, but they are far from ideal for realizing the best sound quality.

Their objective was to develop receptacles whose sole purpose was to deliver the highest sound quality possible. Every part has been designed with this in mind. Extensive research into the effects of plating methods has yielded three equally valid but different types of sound for you to choose from. The entire series is non-magnetic to avoid any disturbance from magnetic fields.
