  TEK Line Audio Cables had their new TL-700-S ($495, top) single crystal silver, TL-500-S ($349, middle) continuous cast silver, TL-2010 ($69, bottom left), and a new not yet named cable. The top pair has the silver Eichmann RCA plug. See my RCA shootout by clicking here.

 

Giving props to the old school, yet with a modern day twist, is Chuck Miller's carbon fiber turntable. A very stable platter motor to insure proper revolution speed joins a lead-filler acrylic platter and Graham tonearm.

 

Proving you don't always need "a wing and a prayer" for good, clean electricity is the Audio Excellence Power Wing that provides wide bandwidth filtering, low impedance, high current delivery. Amazingly fast Caringswutch magnet switch and circuit breaker are mated to Auricaps and other audiophile parts for top quality electricity.

 

Audiozone Pre-T1 pre-amplifier ($1,495) is based around a Stevens and Billings 301-step copper transformer. A 24-switch provides 24 different levels of volume control. It has three inputs, single output, and 6dB passive gain switch on the rear of unit.
