your iPod, bypassing its headphone stage to give a

Treat yourself to a better sounding CD

player... upgrade the one you’ve got!

Russ’s Top Tip

Upgrading your CD player to the next model up isn’t the only way to get a better sound from

your CDs or SACDs. My experience has shown that if you upgrade your CD player’s infrastructure –

its mains cable, interconnects and supports –you’ll get a more enjoyable, musical sound. In many

cases it’s cheaper and you’ll get better sound quality than upgrading to the next model up, too.

How’s that for a recession-busting solution?

Upgrade your mains cable

Upgrade your digital interconnect

If you connect your CD player to a DAC or Home

Cinema amp digitally, consider an upgrade of its digital

interconnect. Kimber’s DV30 and DV-75

(pictured) are very popular; D60 is

high performance and KS-2020

offers the ultimate in

performance.

Improve your DAC

If your CD player is an older model, the chances

are that you can get a lift in performance by

using a stand-alone Digital – Analogue

Converter (DAC) connected to your player’s

digital output. We recommend Firestone Audio’s

Spitfire Mk II DAC with USB which

offers great sound quality

and with our

introductory offer -

is very good value.

Spitfire MkII

was £250

now £150

See also p11 for more

information.

“

”

In our view, the most important

upgrade you can make to improve

the sound of your CD player is to

replace its mains cable. Depending

on the level of your player or your

budget, opt for the entry-level

PowerMax Plus™, the best-selling

Classic PowerKord™ or for top-flight

systems: the stunning SuperKord

Classic-SD II™ (pictured).

Keep your CD player’s

lens clean

It’s important to keep the lens

that reads the data on your

CDs clean; our CD lens cleaner

should be used every three

months or so.

Replace your

interconnect

The connecting cables that

link your CD player to your

amp can have a big effect on

the naturalness and quality of

the sound you hear through

your speakers. Many of Kimber’s

interconnects are multi-award

winners; we recommend the Silver

Streak (pictured): Hi-Fi Choice magazine

say that

“…imaging is precise over a broad spread

and there's no hint of colouration.”

Also consider Kimber Timbre, Hero, or KS-1011.

Reduce that hard ‘CD-sound’

If you find that you have limited use of

your amp‘s volume control when

listening to CDs, the chances are that

you are suffering from what we call ‘CD

overload’. Reduce it with our attenuated

interconnects, which our listening tests

have shown allow a smoother, more three-

dimensional and less fatiguing sound.

Add £15

to cost of Tonik interconnects

Add £25

to cost of Timbre, Silver

Streak & KCAG interconnects

Add £30

to cost of Hero.

Alternatively use Inline

Attenuators with existing

interconnects.

Reduce static

charge

Statmat is a film

which is placed

on top of your CD

and helps to

reduce static

build-up when a CD is

playing. We’ve used it and heard a

clearer, cleaner sound with better

bass. The best version is the CDi Blue

Plus which incorporates a re-useable

self-adhesive collar to hold the

Statmat firmly in place.

Replace your CD player’s existing feet

with our wooden Cone Feet – our tests

have confirmed that the sound has better

bass and is much more solid and

three-dimensional. Like the effect? Stand

your CD player on our Torlyte Platform

for even better sound quality.

Upgrade your amplifier and get

much more from your music

Russ’s Top Tip

Bring Clarity to your system

According to the

manufacturer, the Clarity

Pro offers a way of

improving the

performance of your

system by ‘neutralising’

noise inherent in the

circuit. However it does it,

we’ve been delighted with

the improvements to our

systems. Sit one as close as

possible to your amplifier –

on top is ideal.

Clarity Pro

code: 4595

“

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve a stereo amplifier or a home cinema receiver – you can get a

huge step-up in sound quality if you go about setting it up correctly. Upgrade the infrastructure

– your amp’s mains, interconnects and supports and get ready to enjoy much more music.

”

Upgrade your mains

Like your CD player, we

believe that the best way to

start upgrading your amp’s

mains supply is to replace its

mains lead. Because they

can demand more current

go for our thicker mains

cables such as the PowerMax

Plus™, the Reference

PowerKord™ or Signature

PowerKord™ (pictured).

Fit MiniZaps

MiniZaps are dissipative

filters, designed to reduce very high

frequency noise. Our listening tests

have shown that music sounded more

dynamic and detailed with a more

musical bass and clearer treble.

MiniZaps fit to the tape outputs of

your amplifier.

Our mains

extensions – like

the PowerLink –

have better quality

sockets than most

cheap extensions to

improve your system’s

connection to the mains supply.

also include surge protection and mains filters to

provide a clean mains supply for your whole system.

Feet under

your amp to lift

it off its original

is more stable and ‘solid’. A Torlyte

improve the sound further: our tests

allowed our system to sound more detailed,

three-dimensional and realistic.

Here are a few simple tips

for getting the best sound

from your speakers. It doesn‘t

matter whether you have

cheap bookshelf speakers or

expensive floor-standers; with the

right cables and accessories it‘s much

easier to get a more satisfying sound

from your system.

As with CD and amp, the mains lead is,

in our opinion, the best place to start

upgrading your turntable. Popular

choices are the Classic PowerKord™

choose the Reference or Signature
