All purest silver 1 meter Kimber Kable 1036 interconnects

with RCAs. 

The all silver KS 1036 utilizes all of the technologies found in the world renowned KS 1030 interconnect. Our more densely apportioned orthogonal geometry increases the mass of our Black Pearl silver conductors and ESD yarn within the constrained matrix. The resulting sound is full bodied, dynamic and articulate while remaining delicately detailed and sweet.

A New Cartridges from Hana/Japan. Hana S, Series MK. II

Hana S Series Mk II cartridges use a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity, and effective mass reduction at stylus tip, resulting in enhanced clarity and music transfer from vinyl record to cartridge generator. The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and

dynamics. The SL MK II generator, as found in the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This improves signal to noise, reduces moving mass for higher resolution and trackability, and optimizes performance for a broader range of phono stages.

 $850.

Thank you Garth Lehrer, Musical Surroundings
