V-Cap TFTF series & OIMP series Capacitors pcX is very proud to now be stocking both series of the V-Cap line of signal capacitors, probably the hottest cap line in today's DIY marketplace. Many feel it's the finest sounding line-up of caps, at any price !
pcX is the only other retailer (besides V-Cap themselves) offering these caps for DIY retail sales, in North America.
NOTE: V-Cap does not qualify for any additional "overall order" discounts - pcX must follow their factory authorized discount table for quantity purchases per value.
The V-Cap TFTF Teflon® film and tin foil audiophile capacitors and OIMP series (Oil Impregnated Metallized Polypropylene) film capacitors are the result of an extensive research and development project by a team of world-renowned experts in electrical engineering, chemistry, materials science, and some of the top minds (and "ears") in the audio industry. With the TFTF it is now it is possible to get the smooth, liquid, and "musical" presentation of an oil capacitor, but with even better refinement, transparency and inner detail. Hear and feel true low frequency extension without any loss of control. Immerse yourself in a holographic soundstage emanating from a velvety black background, while enjoying the midrange liquidity and bloom coveted by oil capacitor aficionados. The V-Cap TFTF's reproduction of a musical instrument's precise timbre must be heard to be believed. And selecting the best film was just one of many stages in the design and refinement process that led to the V-Cap OIMP series. Transferring the unique Variable Stage Quadrant Dielectric™ winding technology to the OIMP series was a stunning development on it's own, but even further progress was made by perfecting the actual oil impregnation process. This ensures the highest level of performance, reliability, and consistency from capacitor to capacitor. V-Caps are available in values of .01, .022, .033, .047, .068, .1, .22, .33, .47, .68, 1.0 and 2.0 and 3.3 uF with voltage ratings up to 600VDC and a tolerance of +/- 5% (3.3 uF is rated to 250VDC). Two and a half and one percent tolerance may be available at additional cost. Each and every capacitor is inspected and tested at TWICE the maximum rated voltage PLUS 10% before it leaves the factory. This ensures long life, reliability, and the ultimate in performance.

Founded in 2001, Capativa Technology Inc. (the parent company of the Legenburg Team) simply wanted a better quality sounding cable. After long research, they created a cable that uses rectangular conductor technology, for which they received a US patent. This new technology proved to be the best solution for providing no skin effect because of its shape and configuration. Based on this theory, it allowed the frequencies to travel more evenly, thus minimizing skin effect that can disburse the sound quality. With this new invention, they added the unique Mono-Crystal-OCC conductor materials (Mono-Crystal Rectangular Pure Copper) to improve the results, now known as Legenburg MCRPC. As well, all Legenburg wire is jacketed with a teflon dielectric material. The Legenburg revolution has begun ! pcX is offering two colours (Red and Blue) of three awg's to start:

Rather than the usual RF shielding metal box, which doesn't exactly spell resonance free (try and tap on it), they used a special RF absorbing foam, as used in RF measurement laboratories. This cell foam also has a dampening effect on any mechanical vibration, that might reach the PCB itself.

PEARL Tube Coolers
From Bill Perkins of Perkins Electro-Acoustic Research Laboratory! pcX now has back in stock, the "full range" of "new" updated PEARL TUBE COOLERS - without a doubt, one of the most useful accessories in tube audio. 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. NOTE: 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 a result, the previously supplied carbon fibre sleeve is no longer required for the cooler to work, as intended. WHICH

pcX is very pleased to continue to offer, on an aftermarket basis only, our modification service for this award winning D/A Converter. NOTE: Benchmark Media no longer allows it's retailers (those who sell the DAC-1 itself) to also offer upgrade mods....thus, pcX resigned the product line, but we continue to enthusiastically recommend the DAC-1, and perform our DAC-1 mods. S/E Output Mod: $495 USD aftermarket NOTE: Stereophile Magazine's 2004 EDITOR's CHOICE Award Winner. Please email info@partsconnexion.com if you are interested in these Performance Upgrade Mods.

PCX'S VALUE ADDED SERVICES |
||||||||||||||
|
Part Matching:
pcX offers matching services for passive parts - caps, resistors and inductors - $1 per pair (relative match)...or $2 per pair if you want them matched to a nominal value AND to each other (relatively).
Tube Matching:
pcX can match any small signal tube into pairs....$5 USD per pair; $10 USD four dual triode tubes (if you want a matched pair that have matched triode sections as well). Our stock power tubes are almost always sold/priced as pairs already...however, if you send us your power tube stock, we can test and match them for you, for $5 USD / pair (for both Ip - plate current; and Gm - transconductance).
Tinning:
pcX has a solder pot available. Any wire which needs tinning due to it's litz (enameled strands - like Cardas) design, the cost is $0.50 USD per end.
Cable Termination (or, re-termination):
pcX has always offered cable termination services - for both interconnect ($60 USD/pair); speaker cable ($60 USD/pair); digital interconnect ($30); and AC power cables ($30). These prices are for standard terminations.
Bi-Wired speaker cable configurations are usually 50% more; and cables with difficult sheathing, or large number of conductors, will be more - pricing for these will be on a quote basis only.
As well, we can re-terminate existing cable, if you'd like to upgrade connectors, change lengths; make multiple cables out of longer runs; or change connector style (XLR to RCA and vice versa).
Turnaround time is usually 24 to 48 hours after the terminated cable order is placed, or receipt of your cable.
