Kemp Electronics
have been making mains related products since 1999, they are located in Amsterdam. All member are audiophiles, heart and soul. The reason they pay close attention to the mains, is because this is often the weakest link in any hifi chain. In the future it is likely to become even more distorted, due to the enormous increase in use of electronic apparatus and wireless communication equipment. Kemp offer high quality equipment at a reasonable price. Their range includes an 8-way mains conditioner, 4,6,8 way filtered power strips, noise suppressors and variable length shielded power cords.

Fonè Recordings
are an Italian based recording company that specialise in high quality 'live' audiophile hybrid multichannel and stereo SACD (Super Audio CD) recordings. Being so-called hybrid discs, all recordings will play in stereo on a conventional CD player to great effect. Using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a standard CD, SACD offers a frequency response of up to 100kHz and a dynamic range of up to 120dB across the audible range.
All Fonč recordings are simple but use high quality recording equipment and configurations and are recorded in a live concert situation. This results in a vibrant and transparent sound that brings the listener directly into the concert venue with stunning realism.
The catalogue includes live opera recordings, Sicilian medieval music, liturgical choral music, as well as instrumental and orchestral music by Vivaldi, Brahms and Astro Piazzolla and a number of jazz titles. The new Fonč catalogue will be of great interest to both audiophiles and music lovers alike.

Rothwell In-Line Attenuator
Here's the simple solution to too much gain in your system. Does a slight movement in your volume control give a big volume increase? This may seem like a minor irritation, but performance is being compromised. Your system probably suffers from channel imbalance and your music may sound veiled and indistinct with the volume control turned down to the point where it is nearly off.
Its the excess gain in the system which is the real problem. That in turn forces you always to use the volume control over a very limited portion of its travel.
The Rothwell In-Line Attenuators are the answer. These audiophile devices simply plug into any input sockets and reduce signal levels by 10dB. They can be used with integrated amps or pre/power amps.
When used with integrated amps (simply plug them into any input sockets, then plug the source component into the atenuators).
When used with pre/power amps, there is an added benefit. Although the attenuators can be used on the inputs of the pre-amp in exactly the same way as they would be used on an integrated amp (with the same benefits), alternatively they can be used between the pre-amp and the power amp this reduces system gain by 10dB, but the signal to noise ratio is improved by 10dB. This pushes the noise floor down enough to create an inky black silent background from which the music can emerge with better resolved fine detail and transparency.
