AR TDS202
Sound Enhancer |
£69 |
Jun 02 |
Will pull the socks up on a slow, lazy dull system. For computer audio,
portables and even car use this could be good but steer clear of it for
serious hi-fi. |
| Chord Company Clearway Mains Filter |
£200 |
Feb 02 |
Excellent and highly effective. Not exactly cheap but will suit any
system. |
Clearlight RDC
Isolation Cones |
£25 |
Feb 02 |
Best placed under your CD player, giving slightly more focus and creating
a seemingly faster response. A relatively cheap upgrade tweak. |
| Isotek Isoplug |
£30 |
Sep 02 |
Affordable and effective mains plug but not the last word in upgrades |
Kemp Elektronics
KE-SNS Mains Plug |
£75 |
Sep 02 |
Creates a subtly more focussed sound and undisturbed listening. |
| Ringmat Statmat Statfeet |
£20 ea. |
Jun 02 |
They deliver the best results when used on a source player, and definately
work but in a subtle way, giving a little spring clean to the sound, but
don't expect miracles! |
| Ringmat Support System |
£200 |
Sep 02 |
A bit fussy and fiddly and not cheap, but a joy for all tweakers. Ultimately
the system makes subtle yet defining changes to your vinyl collection. |
| Rothwell In-Line Attenuators |
£39 pr |
Sep 02 |
Effective and affordable, but somewhat limited market. |
Soundpax Cardboard
portable speakers |
£30 |
Jun 02 |
Surprisingly musical, but lacks the clarity, frequency extremes and
dynamics of hi-fi loudspeakers. For £30, a cheap and cheerful way
of getting music into the shed, garage or patio. |
Vistek Aurios
Isolation Bearings |
£197

The higher quality the hi-fi system, the better they work in removing
a level of hash from the sound. Highly recommended. |
