Audio World 2013, Manchester , UK.

Mains Cables R Us exhibited at the Audio World Show in Manchester. Organized by The Chester Group who also hold the excellent Whittlebury Show every year in September, Audio World is smaller in comparison with less than 30 rooms. We do however expect it to be larger next year as we class it as a success based upon the number of visitors we saw in our room despite the bad weather. Our room had a steady stream of audiophiles throughout both days, many of whom had braved the weather to support the hifi industry and it’s dealers. The trade were also in [...]

Black Rhodium Cable Clearance

I have a rather enormous box full of cables from Black Rhodium that are ex-demo or ones sent back for longer lengths, changed mind etc etc. All cables are in “as new” condition with full warranty (2 years) and are offered with substantial discounts off the list price which is in brackets next to each cable. I don’t have time to put pictures up but if anyone is interested in a cable they cannot find details on then e-mail me for a picture.  All cables are factory terminated by Black Rhodium using their own connectors and plugs. There is only [...]

iFI Audio I-Can Headphone Amplifier

I received my stock of all 4 ifI audio products a few weeks ago and took them to the Bristol hifi show to see what all the fuss was about. To be honest the boxes look a million dollars and the units themselves are immaculately presented.     I did not read any reviews prior to taking delivery but simply bought them on the say so of Select Audio the distributer (I already sell AMR fuses and AMR had a hand in the design of the iFI range). To cut a long story short I have never found a headphone [...]

Tellurium Q Waveform Digital Cable

Waveform is the new class of semi-active digital RCAs from Tellurium Q® (patent applied for in UK, number:1223346.6) coming from many months of research. The new device contains a bi-directional, high speed, non-avalanching voltage clamp, controlling the peak voltages into your DAC. This clever technology is contained on two little circuit boards encased in anti-micro-phonic material, one in each RCA plug. The key attributes are: 1. Rise and fall edges are faster than ordinary non-waveformtm digital cables giving the most accurate signal possible today. 2. Produces a more symmetrical waveform which reduces over sampling errors where that method is used. 3. Spdif/BNC to RCA phono drive now will vastly reduce dropout [...]
