Quantum Purifiers - 15% OFF
HOLCO RESISTORS

These unique devices are at the heart of every Bybee Slipstream and Golden Goddess plug-in "Instant Upgrade" product. Originally developed (and still used) for military applications, this quantum purification technology has proven that eliminating sub-audible noise—i.e., noise un measurable by typical test-bench instruments--at the quantum mechanical level produces previously unattainable resolution and beauty in home audio and video. For more than ten years select Original Equipment Manufacturers and elite custom upgrade specialists have used Bybee Quantum Purifiers to enhance the performance of hundreds of highly regarded electronic components and loudspeakers.

NOTE: Bybee Quantum Purifiers are cryogenically treated to enhance
          performance...and are specially shielded using ERS Stealth carbon fibre material.

auraT (Teflon) Capacitors

pcX is please to now be stocking the auraT line of high resolution Teflon Film and Tin Foil Capacitors. From Audience, the makers of the highly regarded (and extraordinarily popular) line of AuriCap metallized polpropylene caps, these "cost no object" auraT caps are felt by many to be the most resolute and transparent capacitor ever engineered.

NOTE: AuraTEFLON capacitors are pre-cooked to minimize the multi-hundred hour break in period typically associated with Teflon capacitors. As well, they are also terminated with Auric stranded hook-up wire.

Note: These film capacitors are included in the 15% off sale.

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.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:

6C33C-B Custom Tube Tester & Tubes

pcX has recently received delivery of the custom tube tester we had commissioned to be built for the 6C33C-B Russian power triode tube. Using this tester (4 tubes at a time):

  • we burn-in all stock for 24 hours at real-world operating parameters - both voltage and current
  • we provide the Vb (Bias voltage) and Gm (Transconductance) of each tube at 250ma Ip (plate current)Tube Tester
These are the most thoroughly aged, selected and tested 6C33C-B's on the market today....perfect for the dozens of D-I-Y OTL designs hobbyists have been building these last 10 years, and for those customers who own 6C33C-B amps from companies such as BAT, Atma-Sphere, Antique Sound Lab, etc.

SHANLING CD-3000 CD Player

The following details the Level-2 mod for the CD-3000 [modified players come with the one year factory warranty].

Sonic Improvements of the Level-2 mod:

The unit is quieter, blacks are blacker to resolve more low-level detail and ambience. Bass slam and extension are dramatically improved, with much fuller weight and authority. The unit now sounds more like the best solid-state players in this area and competes with anything that we have heard in this area under $10k. Dynamics are greatly improved over the stock player. High frequencies are extended with more detail, extension and sparkle. Midrange is more palpable with more warmth and detail. Images are sized better and are more defined. Sound stage width and depth are now both second to none at this price. Transparency is greatly improved and you can now look farther into the sound stage.

The Level-2 Mod + Clock takes the stock player up to the Level of most $10k stock players. We believe that it is the player to beat at anywhere close to this price.

Regular pcX Package Price: $3,390 USD

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 fibre 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 fibre sleeve.

  ANNOUNCEMENT
 


Blackgate UPDATE Dec 6, 2005
Click the animated icon to read up on Black Gate's final update on future production.




A number of pcX suppliers have made important announcements...some have taken effect...others will in the coming days and weeks....

ALPHA-CORE has an announced an upcoming price increase on all foil inductors, due to continually increasing price of the price of Copper.

EICHMANN has just increased their price...for the first time in years...again, due to material cost pressures. pcX's discount % off retail remains the same.

CARDAS has just increased their connector prices (effective November 15th) due to material cost pressures.

PRP has dramatically increased the price of their resistors due to increase in commodity materials used in their production. As well, they have increased their minimum order buy per value. pcX has mitigated the price increase to their retail customers, by ordering over 100,000 pieces in the last few weeks alone (in order to get the best price break possible). As well, we have dramatically increased our range of stocked values, in all three wattages.

HIFI TUNING A statement from the distributor "Exchange rate pressures, along with added costs due to a running change earlier in the year to add cryogenic treatment during fuse production, forces an adjustment in US$ pricing. From an import perspective the thinnest margins are on the larger fuses, so for now we will continue to absorb the cost pressures on the small fuses, leaving the retail alone at $29.95, but we must increase the MSRP of the larger fuses to $39.95 effective November 1, 2007."

HAMMOND We have recently expanded our line-up Hammond transformers, to include a number of popular (but previously unlisted) DIY audio and guitar amp types. As well, a previously announced "across the product line" price increase will be updated on the pcX website by the end of November.
