Featured Products and Special Offers:
• Trade-in credits up to $1000 each for the new PS Audio PerfectWave Transport and DAC.
|
|
Back in April it appeared that the new PS Audio PerfectWave Transport and DAC were close to shipping. As it happens sometimes PS Audio decided to extend the final beta testing period, so held up the release date until...this week! This late delivery also allows us to extend their great pre-order exchange offer through July.
If there is a new wave in high end digital, the PS Audio PerfectWave Transport and DAC are on the crest. The transport is an optical disc reader that reads to its solid state memory before outputting the data to a DAC. There are all sorts of good reasons why this is a better way to go, and as you might expect PS Audio goes into this in great length on their website.
The new PerfectWave DAC not only services the PerfectWave transport or anyone else's transport, but also functions brilliantly as a wired or wireless Music Server. Rather than recap here, we encourage you to take a look at the summary on our website of the Transport and DAC and Music Server, or for more complete information and descriptive videos for each product, go to the PS Audio Transport Page and the companion DAC and Music Server page on the PS Audio website.
Once you do you will want to know about a great trade-in offer for orders placed now through June 30, with shipments scheduled to start in May.
Here's the deal: you can trade in ANY working and good condition DAC toward purchase of a PerfectWave DAC and receive the full Original MSRP up to a maximum of $1000 for your trade-in DAC as a credit towards the $2999.99 purchase price of the new PerfectWave DAC.
You can also trade-in ANY working and good condition CD player or transport toward a PerfectWave Transport receiving the full Original MSRP up to a maximum of $1000 for your trade-in as a credit towards the $2999.99 purchase price of the PerfectWave Transport.
And as a special consideration for loyal PS Audio customers we are offering a full $1000 trade-in credit towards a PerfectWave Transport or DAC for ANY PS Audio CD player, transport or DAC, even if it is no longer working properly.
This is a great opportunity to turn over old and devalued digital products for top dollar towards these innovative new PerfectWave products with extensive "future-proofing" built in.
NOTE: PS Audio will have the final say on the value of the trade-ins (original MSRP) with reference to the online Audio Blue Book. Trade-ins are valid only for like product. That is, DAC for DAC, or CD/DVD player for Transport.
Please contact us about this exciting offer. Get better sound now while gaining the flexibility you may need for future formats.

• Also from HiFi-Tuning, $299 special on BEST disc demagnetizer.
|
We recently sold through a mis-shipment of 230v Acoustic Revive RD-3's in record time at the special price of $299. We heard from more than a few of our 120v customers who felt slighted. So now, for EVERYONE, here is the same $299 special offer on HFT's even better demagnetizer. The HFT demagnetizer offers something different: two DeMag cycles at different frequencies for more effective demagnetization.
At $299 this unit offers both better performance and a $150 savings compared to the Acoustic Revive RD-3! The double DeMag cycle for the HiFi-Tuning machine takes 16 seconds, compared to the 8 second single cycle for the Acoustic Revive.
More demag for your buck! Express Order On-line or contact your consultant.

• $500 Reduction to $2995 on The Vinyl Cleaner from Audio Desk Systeme.
|
|
Until production catches up with demand, since you may have to wait a few weeks for delivery, we are continuing for the moment the $500 price reduction on orders for the Vinyl Cleaner.
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.

• HDMI Cable Specials: Harmonic Tech.
|
|
We still have some stock remaining from this popular special. Good while supplies last:
Harmonic Technology is changing the jacket on their successful HT-HDMI cable so that it can be UL/CL3 rated for in-wall use. The new model also is a "category 2" future-proof design with transmission speeds far in excess of what is necessary for the current 1080p top-line standard.
As a result of the changes to the new model, we can offer the remaining stock of their mesh covered cables at special prices.
Certified to the latest 1.3b specifications, these high purity silver-over-copper conductors will pass 1080p signals easily in lengths of up to 5m or more.
Recommended!
0.5m length: regular $79, now $49
2.0m length: regular $99, now $59
2.5m length: regular $110, now $65
3.0m length: regular $119, now $69
5.0m length: regular $159, now $79.50

We will reduce prices one more time to 50% of retail through 15 July, or while supplies last, only for in stock MIT cables.
MIT (Musical Interface Technologies) has been producing some of the finest audio cables since 1984. Their current designs are their best ever! The MIT network technology is based around creating cables that are time and phase correct. Multipole networks are wired in parallel, passively correcting many of the problems that are inherent with ordinary cable designs. The MIT products demonstrate particular finesse at unraveling complex recordings with multiple instruments playing in the same relative pitch range.
While we always try to have a great selection of MIT products, for this sale, we have stocked up with many, many MIT cables so that we are able to offer our customer 50% off on any of our in-stock MIT cables. Here are the cables that are brand new, in stock, ready to ship, and 1/2 off!
