NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS
 
 
GOLD LION KT88 Tubes


In 1957 Marconi-Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) introduced the "King of Power Tubes", the legendary Gold Lion KT88. This tube became the heart and soul of such classics as the Dynaco Mark III, McIntosh MC275, and Marshall Major. Unfortunately, Genalex ceased tube production in the early 1980s and the original Genalex Gold Lion KT88 has become very expensive and hard to find.

But finally the new reissue of that venerable Gold Lion KT-88 vacuum tube is here.
This tube has not just been reengineered, it has been reverse engineered! The original KT-88 has been disassembled, studied, with every possible nuance evaluated to make the new version the best KT-88 ever produced. The tubes are now available in “matched” pairs. So if you are looking to replace those worn- out output tubes in your amplifier, look no further than here.

FURUTECH Contact Enhancer
Furutech Contact Enhancer

This is the FURUTECH Contact Enhancer...it's called Nano Liquid.

FURUTECH Nano Liquid
 Contact Enhancer....consists of super-micro particles made up of two primary materials, Pure Gold and Pure Silver by mean of Nano-Meter Technology. Each particle diameter is 8 Nm (0.000008 mm) in size. These super-micro particles are individually separated by mixing a controlled amount of cluster type Squalene Oil. The extreme small size of these Nano Liquid particles allows it to diffuse and weld into very tiny seams of the material’s crystalline structure. The result is an enhanced conductive surface area with improved conductivity.

NOTE:  For best result, prior applying the Nano Liquid, please use a dry cloth to clean the contacts or connectors surface. If a cleaning liquid is to be used, please use a neutral/mild-cleaning liquid. After applying, it will not leave any residue or oil on the surface.

MAPLESHADE SilClear Contact Enhancer

Mapleshade SilClear
MAPLESHADE Silclear is the first-ever silver contact lube optimized for good sound, not thermal conductivity. The secret is microscopically thin silver platelets (a millionth inch thin; 8 square feet of surface per gram!) to enhance beneficial skin effect. The unique binder for these platelets is an ultra-pure, low dielectric absorption, food-grade grease to minimize signal loss/smearing. The thinnest possible coating lasts 10 to 20 unpluggings. Comes in a 14-gram jar (with applicator) that treats 1000+ connectors.

WALKER AUDIO SST & EXTREME SST
Super Silver Treatment


pcX is pleased to be stocking this brand of famous contact treatments.

From Walker Audio... "While developing SST – Super Silver Treatment, we tested many types of conducting substances and carrier fluids. We chose an ultra-pure, thin, long micron-sized silver flake suspended in an organic fluid for its dielectric characteristics and excellent sound. We believe E-SST/SST are vastly superior compared to any contact treatment on the market today.

Most contact treatments on the market are either cleaners or lubricants. They are not conductive. E-SST/SST is highly conductive and must be applied with care according to directions."

SST Super Silver Treatment
This is the product everyone is talking about!  Apply SST to a contact area, and hear the difference.  Improves the contact connection for interconnects, power cords, speaker cables, fuses and tubes in audio and video systems. Dramatically improves  the soundand/or picture of any system.

OVER-STOCK SALE
 
 
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.
