Pioneer is pleased to announce the launch of its five new pure audio components, developed in pursuit of masterful sound quality. The new Pioneer G-Clef PD-D9MK2-K Super Audio CD player, focused on providing accuracy as well as substantial power and stability, the new stereo components achieve the sought-after 'open sound' and ultra-quick responsiveness that bring every detail to life.

Equally true to the 'Pure Audio' philosophy is Pioneer's PD-D9MK2-K Super Audio CD player. With a focus on quick response and open sound, both players are engineered to meet the rigorous sound standards set by the recording professionals at London's famous AIR Studios. The 'open sound' comes from the expertise of professional recording studios. Power supply response is sharply enhanced by integrating the non-feedback power supply circuit and low ESR capacitors with Schottky barrier diodes

Legato Link Conversion PRO quadruples the sampling rate, for minimal phase shift across the entire audio frequency range, resulting in smooth and natural sound, whereas Hi-Bit technology expands the sound data length from 16-bit to 24-bit to provide clear, rich audio even from extremely small signals.

Twin R-Core Transformers in the Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K SACD, in addition, the Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K features a rigid under base construction and TAOC Hi-Carbon composite metal feet, providing added weight, stability and shielding. Direct Construction builds the shortest and simplest signal paths to keep noise and distortion at a minimum. The unique single-chip decoding of the DSD signals reduces the signal path length of the digital circuitry, creating noise-free sound. A crystal oscillator in both players produces extremely stable, low-jitter pulses, allowing it to serve as a precision master clock

The minimal time-axis errors lead to the most accurate reproduction of sound imagery. The Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K's Sampling Rate Converter (SRC) re-samples the audio data and decreases jitter, while Isolated Power Supply Blocks ensure that each section of this player has its own power source, shielding it from electromagnetic interference

Audioquest Golden Gate Phono Pair

£59.00

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER CONDUCTORS (PSC): Perfect-Surface Copper has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by this huge leap in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost over ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Golden Gate's very clean sound.

FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Golden Gate uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane.

DOUBLE-BALANCED ASYMMETRICAL GEOMETRY: Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.

COLD-WELDED GOLD-PLATED RCA PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.

Cyrus CDI CD Player

RRP: £1,195.00 SAVE: £100.00

Our Price: £1,095.00

An integrated CD player that uses the award winning Cyrus Servo Evolution CD engine, the Cyrus CDI CD Player is the best sounding CD player that Cyrus has produced to date. Every part of this CD player has been designed with absolute quality as the main concern, be that the power stage, all the way through to the analogue output. This CD player has been designed not only to deliver an audiophile quality experience, but with its simple and quick setup and ease of user control, the CDi is a high end CD player that will introduce even newcomers to the wonders of Hi-Fi.

The CDi contains many of the same components that can be found in the previous CD Xt Signature. This includes the latest generation LED disc loader, a quiet and low contact mechanism that will greatly improve upon more traditional tray loading methods. The use of high end components in these products enables the Cyrus range to outperform any other similar product in its price range.

With Servo Evolution technology included, the CDi's SE platform has been specifically engineered to retrieve data from your audio CDs whilst encountering far fewer errors than other players. Provision of ideal data output for Hi-Fi, the Servo Evolution technology will control the whole electromechanical servo system, which in turn will provide much better quality audio than can be found with other conventional drives.

A 32-bit Digital to Analogue Converter is included in the Cyrus CDi, providing it with all of the capacity that is needed to convert complex loads into full analogue output. Following on from the Cyrus trickle down approach, the DAC used in this player is the same DAC that can also be found in the Cyrus DAC XP Signature. The 32-bit DAC will allow for a range of improvements, including even greater detail retrieval and sonic resolution.

Further improvements can be made to your system through the connection of Cyrus' PSX-R2 external power supply. The addition of this power supply will drastically decrease the strain on the units internal power supply. With twin analogue outputs and two digital outputs, the CDi will fit into a variety of setups. Connection of an amplifier like the 82 DAC will produce an excellent, high quality sound, and the addition of a Stream Xa will offer streaming capabilities and complete your system. The CDi can be connected to further Cyrus units via the unique MC-BUS connections.

Audioquest Red River Phono Pair

£119.00

The Audioquest Red River is the entry model in Audioquest's River range of cables, named for the two Red Rivers of North America. Red River South has been home to many peoples; it once was the border between the US and colonial Spain, and today forms part of the border between the rival states of Texas and Oklahoma. Red River North forms in a confluence of rivers in North Dakota and Minnesota, but its history is Canada’s. The Red River North’s early settlers were the Métis, whose ancestry was French and aboriginal Canadian. The Métis in 1869 began an uprising known as the Red River Rebellion, which challenged the Canadian government, eventually leading to the formation of the province of Manitoba.

The Audioquest Red River boasts the following key features:

SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Red River’s solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding “loss” without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.

NITROGEN-INJECTED HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.

TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: The three conductors in “Triple-Balanced” Red River cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor.

COLD-WELDED GOLD-PLATED PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.

Cables are the most important components of any A/V system as they form the basic path of signal transmission. To ensure that the signals are transferred in their most natural form in a Hi-Fi system, QED has come up with pair of high-quality cables that provide efficient connectivity between the source and output devices.

QED Performance Audio 40 Phono Pair is manufactured to provide low capacitance. The engineers at QED, after a series of experiments, concluded that if the capacitance is low, the output is tight and natural, as the producer intended it to be. These cables feature an innovative complimentary conductor technology, which uses two conductors with different diameters arranged together. These conductors carry the same audio signals and provide an alternative path for the high-frequency components to avoid time smearing.

QED Performance Audio 40 cables come fitted with ANALOCTM Locking RCA Plugs. Unlike traditional high-quality plugs that have large volume brass body, these plugs have small, high-purity copper conductors, preventing changing magnetic fields in the conductor and reducing eddy currents.

Eddy currents lead to formation of skin effect that increases value of current flowing towards outside the conductor. Reducing eddy currents has helped QED to reduce the skin effect, and hence, improve the quality of audio signals. Copper conductors of the ANALOCTM Locking RCA Plugs are plated with gold to reduce the contact resistance-preventing the distortion in the signals.

Cable insulation is provided by foamed polyethylene material with low dielectric constant. Foamed polyethylene reduces the amount of audio energy lost due to capacitance of the cable. For an ultimate A/V experience that is free from any type of signals losses and distortions, use the QED Performance Audio 40 Phono Pair to connect your DAC, DVD/CD player, tuner, audio components and turntables to your amplifiers and receivers.
