Basic Amplifiers -
Basic amplifiers are amplifiers with one input and speaker outputs. Basic amplifiers need a preamp for volume control. Some basic amps
are also integrated amplifiers where there "integrated" function can be turned on/off. Click here or click on a picture for basic amplifiers.

Integrated Amplifiers -
Integrated amplifiers combine an amplifier and preamplifier in one package. Some integrated amplifiers can be used as basic amplifiers.
Integrated amplifiers may have one to five inputs, sub woofer outputs, preamp outputs etc.. Some integratd amplifiers are hybrids, that
is, they combine a tube preamp with solid state amplifier.Please check the specifications. Click here or click on a picture for integrated

Transports
Thinking of using your CD player as a transport? Think again, CD player designer rarely put good digital transformers and clocking
devices in their coaxial outputs. These transports have superior clocks and digital transformers and will transform your DAC. . Click here

Music Servers
Music servers are the best way from both a user and sound point of view for digital playback. Avoid wireless servers as the wireless
jitter is so severe, it will rob you of most of the music. Look for solid state drives and USB/SD cards for music storage. Click here or click

Tube Buffers
Tube buffers add a warm tube sound to an existing rig. They accentuate the midrange and slightly roll off the highs. They can make a
harsh or thin sounding set up sound rich and lively. Click the picture for the type of Tube Buffer that suits your interests.

Interconnects
Don't spend a lot of money on interconnects. They merely have to carry the signal with a least amount of resistance. Most of them use
OFC copper, which is merely a commodity. Do not pay a premium over the commodity price of OFC copper. Our interconnects differ by
copper content and connector (RCA or XLR). For digital interconnects, prudence plays. Once again, do not spend a lot of money. The
best interconnect is the BNC cable that your cable guy has. Its almost always 75ohms and carries the signal well. Click the picture for
the type of Interconnect that suits your interests.

Speaker Cables
Like Interconnects, do not spend a lot money on speaker cables. Speaker cables have to carry current with minimum loss and once again
it is built on a commodity. There are two kinds of speaker cables: braided and foil. Click the here or the picture for more speaker cables.

Power Cables and Filters
A power cable simply has to transfer current. Use good power cables with amplifiers. Filters have to provide pure AC to equipment.
Sources (CD Players, Preamps) need good filtering. Click on the picture for a power cable or filter.
