The last available supply of the Extraordinary NOS Russian Military 6H23N-EB
We still have stock of the last known supply in the world for this military vacuum tube, which is extraordinary for use in audio applications. This is the little known NOS Russian Military 6H23N-EB, a drop in replacement for any 6DJ8, 6922, or 7308. This tube, built to the highest Russian Military specs, is in a league with the classic Siemens 7308 musically, but with the most explosive dynamics and best bass of any 6DJ8-type tube we have ever tested. Truly the best of the best, and now at prices that put this performance within reach of most systems: Special December pricing extended to January 15, 2007: *Low Noise: $25 each (originally $35)
*Ultra Low Noise: $35 each (orig. $65)
*And the true SUPERTUBE: Ultra Low Noise - Cryogenically treated: now $45 each (orig. $90)

Cable Tower Special Offer
|
|
We have long been proponents of lifting cables off the floor to get them out of the haze of electrostatic energy (especially with carpeted floors) and mechanical vibration. This simple, but sonically significant step is often overlooked even by hard core audiophiles - you know who you are! We are pleased to see this concept further developed in the new Cable Tower product.
The designers of the Cable Tower started with a blank sheet to design an optimal product for elevating cables incorporating:
-4 legs for stability, and low contact surface area for better insulation properties; - ability to penetrate carpet, but not mar hardwood or tile; - a material with a better dielectric constant than existing porcelain products; - a design to allow multiple cables to be elevated without being in physical contact with each other.
The resulting product is the low mass, acrylic Cable Tower. Highly recommended! Use at 12" -18" intervals (30-45cm).
Special for the month of December extended to January 15, 2007: two sets/4 for $179 (Regularly $99/4) plus free surface freight in the 50 US States, or flat rate $25 airmail for our international customers.

Quantum Symphony Pro EMF Stabilizer
|
|
What is it? The Quantum Symphony Pro functions as a simple oscillator/ transmitter generating a wave of energy that serves as a wireless equalizer to tune or smooth out the random behavior of electrical signals within a 1,500 sq. ft (450 sq. meter) area. The influence of this field affects the quality of electrical field signals in the environment, including audio signals. Think of the Symphony as a wireless electromagnetic field stabilizer.
The Quantum Symphony Pro is a parallel filter - it plugs into the wall, but components do not plug into the Quantum Symphony Pro - and it is compatible with other types of line filters, and will enhance their effectiveness!
Sound like science fiction? Sounds like Music! For Audio use of the Quantum Symphony Pro will expand the soundstage and enhance resolution, three dimensionality, and dynamics. Also effective for enhancement of (especially) video, data, and wireless signals.
Special for the month of December extended to January 15, 2007 Originally $599, now $399.

Powerline Filter Special
|
Arguably still the best line filter under $500, save another $101 in December on the Furutech E-TP 80.
Proof that good line filters do not have to be expensive, this device does a great job of noise and surge suppression, and inter-component isolation passively using a proprietary noise absorbing material. All parts are of the highest quality and the package includes a good quality detachable AC cable. And most importantly for any line conditioner, no negative side effects.
Special for the month of December extended to January 15, 2007 Furutech E-TP80 regularly $500, now $399.

Quantum Physics Noise Disrupters: System "Decongestant"
|
|
One of the best new products of the year: the Quantum Physics "Noise Disrupter." Designed to reduce airborne EMI and RFI, the sonic effect of this product is to "decongest" the sound, improving both resolution and the imaging of the system as each instrument or voice emerges more cleanly from a darker background.
What are they??? The Disrupters, which are available in two sizes, consist of a sealed box with a proprietary combination of materials inside that have been specially treated to absorb noise. Frankly if you shake them, you would think you were holding a box full of rocks. Whatever, the product works!
Even when using the best power conditioners, there are electromagnetic fields and EMI and RFI radiation being generated by the components themselves. These will "leak" into other nearby components, causing smearing of the sound. By placing the large Disrupters over the biggest offenders ( transformers in the power amplifier/pre-amp), a sense of enhanced resolution is revealed that is unlike any other product we've ever tested. The smaller Disrupters are designed for internal placement eg. on circuit boards, and are also effective when placed in the proximity of the laser/drive mechanism of the cd player.
The large Disrupters ( 6.5"W x 5.25"D x 1.5"H) list for $225.00 and the small Disrupters (2"H x 2.5"W x .75"H) list for $75.00 each.
Special offer for the month of December extended to January 15, 2007: Large Disrupter - $185.00 Small Disrupter - $65.00
