Sometimes, pulling cable can be a real pain! AudioQuest\'s new FLX/SLiP series of in-wall speaker cables has been designed to make your life at least a little easier. While there is no perfectly slippery cable, we believe that the materials and shape used for FLX/SLiP are at the forefront, making these the most slippery cables possible.
However, the latest version has ditched the transparent jacket for all-white PVC, so the inner foil is no longer visible. But it's definitely still there.
That foil acts as a shield, which Chord says is particularly effective at blocking harmful high frequency interference. What it’s protecting is a pair of stranded copper wires, twisted together.
Digital cables are not all the same and it doesn’t take much listening to hear that. Detail is great, but it is pointless hearing everything the bass and drums are doing if they’re not doing it together. The Shawline Digital brings coherence and detail together.The Shawline Digital uses an ARAY conductor configuration that immediately makes it very different to most other digital cables. Just for a start – and like our other digital cables it uses identical conductors for the signal and the return, and there’s an ARAY conductor as well.
The optical digital cable with standardised Toslink plugs for connecting digital audio sources such as CD, DVD, Blu-ray players or game consoles to AV receivers, etc.
EVO3 Initium
EVO3 Initium is IsoTek’s new entry level power cable designed to offer high quality performance at an extremely fair price. Initium is a must for replacing all of your free standard black plastic power leads which have been designed down to a price not up to a quality. IsoTek Initium uses high quality materials with intelligent construction to deliver a power cable of outstanding performance and mechanical integrity, which will not degrade over time or break your bank balance.
QED\'S MULTI AWARD WINNING COAXIAL OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO CABLE
The multi award winning Performance Digital Audio cable is designed for connections between CD players, Blu-rayTM players or any other SPDIF source to your DAC or AV amplifier digital input. The QED design principle is to use a top down approach so this Performance cable shares many of the design characteristics of the top of the range Signature cable. In this instance the Performance cable uses Oxygen Free Copper conductors and twin electrical screening for enhanced signal integrity. All QED cables come with a QED Lifetime Guarantee.

REFERENCE SUBWOOFER 40, THE NEW STANDARD FOR TIMING, ACCURACY AND RHYTHM
QED Subwoofer 40 has been designed primarily for low capacitance, as this has been identified by QED as a major factor making for a tight sound which retains the rhythm of the original piece - vital when it comes to the \'bottom end!\" Minute timing errors are ameliorated by the use of QED\'s Complementary Conductor TechnologyTM combined with a special floating Zn/Mn ferrite jacket to absorb very high frequency noise signals outside the audible band. The QED AnalocTM plug design helps to control eddy currents which can also affect the micro-timing of the audio signal, maintaining high- fidelity from start to finish.
SUPREMUS
QED Supremus loudspeaker cable is the ultimate expression of sound born of pure science.
Developed without compromise, it has been 21 years in the making.
Supremus Speaker Cable
The largest cross sectional area of pure copper ever incorporated into a QED loudspeaker cable, enables Supremus to deliver the ultra-low resistance required to ensure perfect fidelity of the musical signal.

What Hi Fi Hand out another 5 star review:
In the October 2012 edition, What HiFi concluded:
Natural, even-handed and with good dynamic ability – this speaker cable is a must-hear
What Hifi 2008 'Best Stereo Interconnect'
Once again What Hi Fi confirmed the superiority of the Atlas Equator by awarding it 'Best Stereo Interconnect' in 2008.
Atlas has followed it's success in 2007's Awards with the Equator Mk11. We haven't come close to finding a pair of stereo interconnects that come close to offering the same kind of value. It's well-balanced, powerful sound is unbeatable at this price point.
The Atlas Hyper cables offer unbeatable value. The Hyper 2.0 is the cable that compliments and lifts most HiFi systems by introducing a sound quality that's superior in it's definition and quality. Previously unheard of at the prices of these cables of is a PTFE dielectric and 6N pure (99.9999%) OFC conductors. Indeed the Hyper is almost certainly one of the finest Hi Fi performance bargains today.
AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
Cinnamon
About HDMI 2.0
Cinnamon HDMI adds 1.25% silver-plating to its predecessors’ solid-core conductors. Like all AudioQuest HDMI cables, Cinnamon uses 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.
Analog-Audio Interconnect Cable named after the Evergreen Bridge that connects Seattle, Washington (USA) to the Bellevue area across Lake Washington.
In all Bridges & Falls, you’ll find better metals and more sophisticated technologies — including Air-Tube insulation, Dielectric-Bias System, and Noise-Dissipation System — at lower prices than ever before.
Note: All cables in our Bridges & Falls Series place their left and right channels in a single jacket, and feature our Asymmetrical Double-Balanced geometry with separate high-quality positive and negative conductors. This design allows for a thin, flexible, and uniquely versatile high-performance cable that can be terminated with a variety of today’s connections, including 3.5mm (male or female), DIN, and RCA. Do keep in mind, however, that, by necessity, the plugs on Bridges & Falls cables are fairly close together. If the L and R inputs of your components are more than 3″ (7.6cm) apart, please consider models from our Rivers or Elements Series.
Features:
- 48G
AudioQuest “48” HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. The 48Gbps bandwidth is made possible by 4 balanced audio/video pairs capable of 12Gbps each. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to produce HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean many of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques are more important than ever before.
While, thanks to HDMI, Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player to an A/V receiver, Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, all sorts of products. And now, the 3.5mm Mini Optical connector, also somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink, is everywhere … from the 3.5mm dual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop, to inputs on some of the finest portables.
For these many reasons, AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are now available Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical.
