   NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS
 

HiFi Tuning Noise Destroyer

To quote Robert Stein of The Cable Company, "The HiFi-Tuning Noise Destroyer was demonstrated on the noisy AC power in the hallway of a big NY hotel during Primedia's (Stereophile, etc..) 2007 "Home Entertainment Show." By using a "Noise Detector," which made the noise on the AC line audible to everyone, the impact of this product was obvious. The instant one of the Noise Destroyers was plugged into the circuit, the noise vanished completely. Stock on hand sold out to consumers, reviewers, and other exhibitors in just a few hours due to this powerful demonstration of their effectiveness."

The Noise Destroyer is a parallel AC filter - a classic wall-wart - which plugs into a "free" socket within the AC circuit . It consumes a tiny amount (about 0.25mA) of current while it goes about getting rid of RFI and EMI that are in the AC circuit, providing a lower noise floor resulting in better video and audio performance. Because the filter system is parallel, it is not current limiting, nor does it have any adverse effect on dynamics. This is by far the most effective plug-in type of filtering device we have seen. If ONE was enough to treat the nasty AC in the hallway of a major metropolitan hotel, you can be confident that it can handle the audio and video circuits in your Audio or AV System.

NOTE: This product qualifies for our 15% off sale, for the month of October.hifi tuning destroyer

MUNDORF Teflon (PTFE) Silver/Gold Hook-up Wire

The mixture of silver plus 1% gold has proven itself excellently as capacitor film for the MCap® Supreme Silver/Gold series. The resulting sound is so impressive that it was only natural to think of using this alloy for the internal wiring of electronic devices. Listening tests with individually isolated conductors quickly proved that silver/gold shows its superior strengths every bit as convincingly in this application as well. Purity and elegance are the terms that automatically lend themselves to this exquisite material.

ACOUSTIC REVIVE Caps

pcX is now pleased to be stocking the ACOUSTIC REVIVE line of "award-winning, Japanese-made" connector caps/plugs. What distinguishing these caps (from other well-known brands), is the precision machining, non-magnetic materials, and the fact that 2 of the 3 models are not just protective, but are "shorting" style as well (for inputs only). These caps are made from gold-plated, non-magnetic brass, and 2017 Duralumin. These caps improve sound by damping vibration, protecting the connectors from airborne contaminants, and by reducing electrical noise due to their "shorting" design.

For Inputs Only:

40% off PEARL Tube Coolers


Pearl Prices











From Bill Perkins of Perkins Electro-Acoustic Research Laboratory!   pcX now has in stock, "new" updated PEARL TUBE COOLERS - without a doubt, one of the most useful accessories in tube audio. Pearl Tube Coolers

Use of these devices result in reduced tube microphony for noticeably improved sonics; and longer tube life (conservatively triple) due to the cooler "heatsinking' the heat away from the glass enveloped, via the thermally conductive copper-finned cooler material.

PEARL has converted (since October 2005) cooler manufacturing over to a new fin design, which provides over 60% more contact area with the tube's glass bulb/envelope. As such, the carbon fiber sleeve is no longer required for the cooler to work, as intended.    As we sell out of the older design (which include the sleeve) coolers, customers will receive new stock, without the carbon fiber sleeve.
