I'm back. We are offering a 10% holiday sale on all inventory until Dec 31 or while supplies last. The pre-orders for the Quantum filter are over, I will offer the filter again in early 09'. Some of the parts used in the design are manufactured in limited quantity from the vendor, with that said I will offer the filter as the parts are available.
The PE III is back new and improved...the fall in metal prices have allowed us to bring the PE III back at the original price and upgraded to the v2 design. Check the web site after the new year for details.
I will be available for AM design orders between now and early Feb 09', after that I will be in and out over the next few months. I already signed on to a couple small European tours during Feb and April. Pending Jen's deployment schedule this year, I will probably stay home with my daughter during that time, so I will be able to continue product development.
09' will see the maximum bang for the buck designs come back. I started last July to pick up development on a few ideas I started earlier in the year. The new outlet shield is a good example of maximum true audiophile/videophile performance on the cheap. The shield slips over the rear of the duplex outlet, it can be grounded or non-grounded, and is capable of reducing noise up to 25GHz -85db. The outlet shield puts many mega buck ($5000+) PLC's to shame. I tested the shield in numerous applications and was stunned by the improvement over what I was already using for system filtering.
Another cool product coming out in early 09' is the new small/large isolation foot. Both feet deal with mechanical vibration and harmonic frequency in both horizontal and vertical planes....the foot is a zero rebound design.
The long awaited DIY PE will be available as of early Jan 09'.
The new Isolated Digital Reference Cable Series....this cable family kicks some serious booty at any price. Nothing presently in the market, at any price, comes close to the noise floor offered by the cable series....guaranteed. Last night I plugged the isolated power cord and the IC into the Benchmark Dac1 pre....I have added a lot of things to the Dac1 over the months to get it to perform beyond it's price point, and this set up without a doubt is the best I have ever heard...period....I'm talking about high-end dacs, headphone amps, preamps......this combination (Isolated Digital Reference Power Cable, Isolated Analog XLR IC, small isolation foot x 4, Benchmark Dac1 pre) sets the new standard in affordable killer digital audio. I had Jen order the WireWorld flat USB cable last month...I tested it last night against the Kimber and several others I had on hand.....for those looking for a good sounding USB cable, the WireWorld USB sets the new standard under $200. In all honesty it looks like a shielded sata cable with USB ends, but without cutting it open I can't confirm.....I put a 1.5m on the external drive and a 5m from the pc to the dac.....length does not appear to effect sound quality. I also tested the 1.5m from the pc to the dac to confirm my findings. Hopefully WW will release a couple more models, but for the price the cable kicks some serious booty...please excuse my language....everything on this tour was booty this and bum that...don't ask...it's the things we don't talk about at parties
The last thing to talk about is the new active speaker cable....I combined several designs together that I have worked on over the years to offer a very good maximum bang for the buck product. I am still working on the financial details, but more info will come after the holidays.
With that all said, I should have all the pre-paid orders out the door before the end of the week. Mail in orders will be shipped after payment clears our bank. Average clearing time is 3 to 5 days.
Take Care....
