What’s in a NAME?
Designing for affordability while preserving top quality poses quite a challenge. Here, our more than 25 years of experience in cable design and production have come to good use. It’s the most imporant ingredient!

The NAME is a 7.3 mm Ø coaxial interconnect cable, comprising:

• Double shield
• Provides your signals excellent protection against unwanted noise and interference from the outside world’s radio frequency and other electromagnetic disturbances.
• Solid core
• A heavy 1.1 mm Ø central conductor provides high frequency bandwidth and low loss signal transfer. The cable’s construction furthermore ensures that the core is virtually unbreakable.
• Pure silver coated OFC
• Both the signal core and shield’s signal return are made of dense silver coated high purity Matched Crystal Oxygen Free Copper (OFC). This high quality composition maintains signal integrity and provides maximum durability. Signal quality that lasts!
• First-rate insulation
  The internal insulation material which separates the conductors, physically takes part in signal transfer and its quality. Not overlooking this, The NAME is equipped with a prime material which supports optimum audio and picture fidelity. The NAME’s internal insulation provides minimized signal losses and a very low 59 pF/m parasitic capacitive load.
• High-grade connectors
  Also the quality of the connectors makes a considerable contribution to a cable’s overall performance. The NAME comes fit with RCA type connectors of the same high quality as found with our up-range cables: Being non-magnetic, having Teflon internal insulation and being layer-plated with copper, silver and finally 24 carat gold, they provide a perfect and durable connection.
• Excellent protection and durability
  Last but not least, The NAME’s dense silver coated conductors, as well as its rugged and hardwearing HULLIFLEX ® jacket provide an optimal protection against chemical (corrosive) attack from the outside world and ensure a very long lifespan.

Whatever your application, The NAME keeps its promise...

Employing durable materials and providing super sound and picture quality at a very affordable price, our The NAME is a true multi-purpose AV interconnect that lives up to its name.

This is Analysis Plus's best offering in terms of a Digital cable. It's what we run (In fact we run two of them side-by-side) with the Chord Blu and the Chord Dave. That's an $18K DAC with a $17K Transport. The combination is devine. All the detail of the Blu and the Dave is there, imaging is perfection and there's nothing jarring or bright when it comes to the top end frequencies.

These have been a hugely popular digital cable with us for even the most High-end systems.

With this new range of Televisions, Loewe is bringing their OLED screens into a more affordable price bracket. With the 48" coming in at $3999, we're anticipating that the new i series will be their most popular models yet. 

Loewe were the first manufacturers of Televisions in 1923 and have continued their legacy of producing quality products for nearly 100 years. Like a Porsche, Mercedes or BMW this German brand of Television is built with a higher set of expectations in mind. Loewe's do without the gimics and fads. They create TVs that outlast their Asian competitors in terms of picture quality for multiple generations. And their build quality is second to none.

We've had many interior designers who buy Loewe for their own homes come to us for Televisions. The elegance and reputation of a Loewe is something else.

The quality on the finish of these TVs is second to none as one has come to expect with Loewe. Details like all the wiring funelled through a centralised metal pole (no plastic here) and a table stand that you're able to pivot for optimising your viewing angle are taken care of unlike in most Asian TV models.

These new Loewes also come with Native built-in apps and the remote control even has a dedicated set of buttons for quick access to Netflix and Youtube.

Speakers are located on the back of the panels for these models. There is an option to buy this Television with a Soundbar that clips onto the front of the TV as well - the Bild i s 48.

This is part of a new wave of retro practical good sounding stereo receivers that are finding a place in homes as practical high fidelity devices. In a way they are a riposte to the exuberant age of surround sound amplifiers that have dissapointed purchasers by offering features over quality.

This new model RN800A ticks a lot of boxes with a decent phono input and a range of practical analogue and digital inputs, including that contemporary cherry being the HDMI EARC input. It is a very substantial device with classic Yamaha build quality and represents excellent value for money.

I think there was a designer in Musical Fidelity who had been spending too much of his life on caffeine and narcotics and marathon listening sessions who in a fit of mad innovation made this massive battle tank of an amplifier with every wet dream specification and design feature for an audiophile fantasy.

If it was a tank it would be Ferdinand Porsche's Panzerkampfwagen VII Maus 188 ton Hitlerite monster that fortunately never went into service. It makes no less than 550 watts per channel into loudspeaker systems with an impedance of 8 ohms, while with a 4 ohm load the figure is a remarkable 870 watts per channel. The manufacturer even goes so far as to speak of even higher power reserves, namely a peak of no less than 1.6 kW at 2 ohms.

Chord Rumour has been our go to speaker cable for reasonably priced systems for over 20 years. Incredible detail with no harshness and a very audible soundstage.

Now evolved into Rumour X with new insulation

"Previous versions of Rumour speaker cables used PTFE insulation (often referred to as Teflon™) and until the arrival of Taylon®, this was our “go to” material. Although expensive, PTFE offered the best performance.

Material technology is constantly developing and improving and alternatives to PTFE are now available. While the high cost of Taylon® prevents us from using this in all of our ranges, we were able to find a suitable family of insulation materials known as XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). One version of this material looked particularly interesting and following listening tests, proved to be clearly better than the PTFE in Rumour speaker cable – now known as Rumour X."

This is where conditioners and power filters get really HiFi. 

This unit boasts separate circuits designed for source components and high current outlets for things like power amplifiers. But each outlet is individually isolated and does not interfere or effect the others.

The PowerLine Ultra is fully power conditioned, surge protected, and optimised for audio. 2 Direct Connection outlets are provided, filtered by a high current shunt filter, and is suitable for loads such as amplifiers. The remaining outputs are for source components and benefit from ISOL-8s Transmodal filter technology. Noise in mains wiring can be transmitted and induced in many ways, some are easier to deal with than others. As a result, many power conditioners are not completely effective. ISOL-8s Transmodal filters effectively attenuate all modes of transmitted and induced mains noise, without dumping it to ground, so you can be sure that your system benefits from the cleanest possible power.

I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them at the Munich Hi Fi Snow and was unfortunately caught by the Australian distributor in a compromising position with them in the rather dark room ...

This is the largest loudspeaker Spendor have ever produced. Employing 2 of their famous 12" bass units as used in the SP100 in each enclosure allowing incredible effortlessness in the bass. If size isn't an issue I would be ordering a pair of these and spending the rest of your life enjoying music knowing you will not find an easier, bigger sounding loudspeaker anywhere.

There is something mesmerising in the sound of a Chord DAC/headphone amps. The unleashing of the music in its raw tangible beauty into your living room. The space the music inhabits seems to expand the boundaries of a room like a Tardis. And the instruments and vocalists seem to come together forming this 3D image of the broader soundstage. 

For those of us who spend far too much time listening to music, it's that feeling of being transported through time and space into where the music was performed. Like a trip in a Tardis, this is what a Chord Dac can deliver.

And they've got all the cool flashing lights and even a port hole to look through to see naked circuitry inside!

These are the latest iteration of this big no compromise UK design. The outstanding characteristics of this speaker are the immense delicacy of the treble nature along with the massive attack offered by the exceptional bass drivers. The original Platinum 300 is still in use by many of our clients and is really hard to get a positive upgrade of. The third generation retains all those virtues of air and space with thunder but has refined and deepened the musical portrayal.

A speaker to die for ...

This is one of those darling transducers that looks so good and sounds so good that it can melt the hardened heart of the most dedicated of interior designers and turn them into music loving Hi Fi freaks.

In comparison to Sonetto I, this is a bigger 2-way shelf loudspeaker system. Its high performance features a larger mid-woofer, which is capable of ensuring more wider downwards frequency response and a greater emotional impact. Besides its dimensions, Sonetto II still has the capability to disappear in the environment, with an elegant and graceful style.
