CRL Bronze "bundle" now an additional $100 off.
|
|
For a company that received a 2008 Product of the Year award as well as a 2009 Editor's Choice award from The Absolute Sound, CRL is still an relatively unfamiliar name to many hobbyists. In order to get their products into the hands of as many people as possible, CRL has announced a package (or "bundle") that is unique in the industry.
The CRL Bronze Series Bundle provides for two pairs of Bronze series interconnects, either RCA or XLR, in any lengths up to 3M per pair along with a pair of the CRL Bronze series speaker cables (either stereo or bi-wire, spades or bananas) up to 12 feet in length, all for one very attractive price of $895. (Individual pairs of interconnects n this series cost $599/pair for up to 3M, which gives you an idea of the relative value of the "bundle!"). Thru the end of December 2009, the Bronze series bundle has been further reduced to $795.
This CRL Bronze Bundle is an incredible value that gives the hobbyist the opportunity to get a matched cable "loom" into the system at one time to take advantage of the synergy and coherence that often comes from using the same design of cables throughout the system. The Bronze cables work equally well with tubes or solid state designs and in systems from entry level to state of the art.
The Bronze series interconnects are a hand-built silver/stranded copper hybrid design that uses lead free solder terminated with top quality RCA's or XLR's. Quality terminations are a CRL specialty.
The Bronze series speaker cables are an all stranded copper design, also handmade in either stereo or bi-wire configuration, and again terminated using lead free solder.
If you have been thinking about upgrading your system with new cables, or have friends that are ready for high end cables, the CRL Bronze Series Bundle is a good way to get some very good cables, in the lengths and terminations you need, for not a lot of money. And save an extra $100 this month!
We have the entire line up of CRL cables available in our Cable Lending Library for home audition - contact your audio consultant at The Cable Company to make arrangements.

Nanotec DIY Holiday Special - 25% off during December!
|
|
The Japanese company Nanotec has applied molecular science to improve the performance of their audio cables. The Nanotec cables are available primarily as "elite level" DIY cables (interconnects, speaker, and power cords), although they do offer their products in a finished, terminated form as well. The pricing is extraordinarily good for the quality and performance level, and earns our highest recommendation for DIY applications.
What makes these Nanotec cables different from all others is that the OFC conductors are treated with a colloidal liquid that contains a suspension of micro particles with a ratio of gold and silver, chosen by ear as most appropriate for the application. The theory is that as the conductors are extruded, microscopically small surface scratches are formed on the surface of the conductors that affect the ability of the conductors to transmit an audio signal unscathed. When the conductors are treated with the micro particles suspended in the right type of liquid, these small scratches will be filled in and the surface will become a far better conductor.
The liquid that Nanotec uses is made, believe it or not, from shark liver oil. This type of oil, also known as Squalene Oil, has been available in audio for some time as a contact enhancer, so this application makes good sense. What I can tell to those of you snickering in the background, is that it is NOT snake oil.
The Nanotec cables are well made with special attention paid to vibration control and natural sound using cotton spacers and Japanese paper in addition to the high quality conductors and dielectrics. For more information on these high performance cables, please take a look at the product listings in our website or read the online review of the Nanotec cables at 6moons.com or at Enjoythemusic.com.

Cable Elevation specials $295/12 special on Dark Field Cable Elevators and $179/8 special on Cable Towers.
|
|
Special offer on Shunyata Research Dark Field Cable Elevators:
When Shunyata's designer Caelin Gabriel decided to address the issue of cable elevation and isolation from the electromechanical "grunge" that occupies floor level, he took a blank page approach to the issue and came up with a simple product that deals with this grunge in a different way than other cable "lifts." He identified the problem with static electricity not being it's existence at floor level, but rather the "differential" between the charge at the floor versus the charge at an elevated cable. Rather than try to isolate the cable from the static, Caelin Gabriel works with a principle he calls "static-field-unification," where the Cable Elevator is electrically conductive to eliminate the differential between the charge at the floor and at the elevated cable. Interesting!
Where his approach is in basic agreement with other cable lift designs is with respect to managing mechanical vibration, in the cas of the Shunyata product by using multiple layers of absorbent foam.
Simple, lightweight, and incorporating novel thinking, Shunyata Research Dark Field Cable Elevators set a new standard in this category. Generally use at 12" -18" intervals (30-45cm).
On sale for $295/12 piece set with free surface freight in the US.
Lower cost Cable Towers:
We also like the performance of the less expensive "Cable Tower," which has its own advantages. In this case the designers developed a 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 previously 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. Also recommended! Generally use at 12" -18" intervals (30-45cm).
Sold in sets of four for $99. Special offer: two sets/4 for $179. Free surface freight for 8 pieces or more in the US, or flat rate $25 standard airmail (where advisable) for our international customers.

Special $325/4 Cathedral Sound Acoustic Panel "RoomPak."
|
|
Revisiting this special through end of October only with the Cathedral Sound Acoustic Panels.
As recently acknowledged in their Stereophile write-up, these panels are uniquely effective on deep bass standing waves, and quite remarkable in their broadband impact, especially in light of their small size: 11" x 16" x 2" (28 x 41 x 5 cm) and ease of placement.
The Panels are most effective if used symmetrically in the room. By this we mean either one in every corner, or two in every corner.
To make it easy we are offering sets of 4 off-white or black 'Panels in a "RoomPak" at a special price of $325/4, a 10% savings from the usual retail price for 2 pairs.
In smallish rooms, or for low volume systems, or systems with restricted bass response, a Panel in each corner will do it. For larger rooms, and especially for systems played at high volume with big bass, two in each corner is the ticket.

$500 Reduction to $2995 on The Vinyl Cleaner from Audio Desk Systeme.
|
|
A new stock shipment of our favorite LP cleaning machine is arriving next week and we are renewing our previous special on the Vinyl Cleaner which is back on the specials rack till the end of the year.
Click for a quick on-line video description.
In summary:
Audio Desk Systeme's Vinyl Cleaner is the first and only LP cleaning machine that incorporates an ultrasonic cleaning cycle in addition to a more conventional mechanical cleaning via bi-directional rotating microfiber cleaning drums, and the result is the cleanest LP's ever. See more information on ultrasonic cleaning below.
And it is fully automatic - just put the LP in the slot, push the button, and come back in 5 minutes for a thoroughly cleaned and dried LP (both sides). Whole new layers of inner detail and air are revealed in the recordings, and of course most surface noise is eliminated.
Comes with 2 vials of a proprietary cleaning fluid developed specifically for this machine. A container of the fluid concentrate plus 4 liters of distilled water (just over a gallon) cleans 200 new LP's, or 100 used LP's.
Additional cleaning fluid price is unchanged at only $14.95.
Technical: How can sound clean?
Ultrasonic is sound generated above the human audible level.
A physical effect called "cavitation" results from the generation of ultrasonic frequencies in a liquid. In this cavitation process ultrasonic "compression waves" are created by an ultrasonic transducer. When the amplitude of this soundwave increases to a level where the surface tension of the liquid is broken, the fluid will "tear" apart leaving behind millions of microscopic vacuum bubbles. These vacuum bubbles then rapidly compress or implode creating millions of tiny liquid jets small enough to clean inside the smallest grooves of an LP. This process, also called "microagitation," displaces any contaminants on the surface of the LP.
