Details

The new Yamaha A-S300 integrated amplifier offers the look and feel of the top-class A-S2000, with elegant aluminium front panel and silky touch volume/selector knobs. You can feel Yamaha's commitment to quality when you touch the knobs.

The Yamaha AS300's ToP-ART Sound Quality Design (Total Performance Anti-Resonance Technology) design uses a symmetrical layout for accurate sound field reproduction and the ART Base to eliminate effects from external vibration. When playing through the Yamaha AS300 amplifiers' Pure Direct mode, music signals travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.

The quality of each AS300 individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only very high quality parts, carefully selected and tested. Our ears lose sensitivity to high and low frequencies at low volume levels. This control lets you turn down the volume while maintaining the optimum frequency response.

The Yamaha AS300's optional iPod dock has an independent power supply to prevent operating or charging current from the iPod from flowing into the amp ground signal. This ensures optimum iPod sound quality. An unbalanced interface is subject to common mode voltage noise, so Yamaha uses a balanced system to receive the iPod signal. This makes a significant contribution to reducing noise in the system for higher sound quality.

Pearl HDMI embodies all of AudioQuest's core philosophies on cable design. It employs solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation, and precise geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing the performance of HDMI, and indeed, AudioQuest's HDMI cables push sonic performance to new levels.

SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER CONDUCTORS (LGC): Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Pearl'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.

SOLID HIGH-DENSITY 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 later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion.

HIGH SPEED DATA CAPACITY: All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 10 meters meet or exceed the 10.2 Gbps maximum data rate for HDMI and are approved High Speed with Ethernet cables. This means that all AudioQuest cables up to 10 meters are capable of transmitting 100% of the data required for all of HDMI's current audio/video features including multichannel high-resolution audio, 1080p and 4k video, and 3D video from Blu-ray. All AQ HDMI cables will deliver 100% of the data required for 120Hz/240Hz/600Hz displays.

ETHERNET AND AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL ENABLED: All AudioQuest HDMI cables up to 10 meters are rated High Speed with Ethernet. From 12 meters to 20 meters AudioQuest HDMI cables are Standard Speed with Ethernet.

DIRECTIONALITY: All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. All signal conductors controlled for digital-audio direction in AudioQuest HDMI cables, and care is even taken to run the conductors used in the Audio Return Channel in the opposite direction to ensure the best performance for that application. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.

Chord Sarsen Speaker Cable Per Metre

RRP: £8.00 SAVE: £1.05

Our Price: £6.95

A discreet cable with a big performance. Speaker cables don't get much more discreet than the new Sarsen from The Chord Company. Sarsen uses a clever mix of materials to produce a high performance speaker cable with a diameter of less than 4mm.

The conductors are built from multi-stranded oxygen free copper and like other Chord Company speaker cables, are arranged in a twisted pair configuration. Insulation is FEP, a form of PTFE.

The Chord Company uses PTFE insulation extensively - particularly with cable designs featuring silver-plated conductors. FEP however, has slightly different electrical characteristics, felt by the company to be better suited for use with un-plated copper conductors.

The two conductors are covered with a special PVC outer jacket, chosen for its excellent mechanical noise damping abilities.

Don't let the diminutive size of Sarsen fool you. Bandwidth - and particularly bass, is influenced just as much by materials as it is by diameter. The combination of oxygen free conductors and FEP insulation means that Sarsen will turn in a remarkable performance. Even when used to connect an affordable/budget lifestyle home cinema system, Sarsen will surprise with the extra detail, dynamics and transparency it brings.

Sarsen is more than just a discreet cable for use with lifestyle home cinema systems. The Chord Company's extensive test and development procedures mean that Sarsen has been used with some seriously revealing systems and with some seriously big and transparent speakers. In fact, the performance characteristics of Sarsen clearly show the influence of their longest running speaker cable, Chord Rumour - a design so right that it has remained unchanged for almost fifteen years.

So wherever there is a need for a truly discreet cable, but one with the performance of a heavier gauge product, there's Chord Sarsen - speaker cable that's hard to see but easy to hear. The benefits are obvious even if the cable isn't...
