Due to the growing popularity of Jantzen Audio’s Superior and Silver Z-Cap ranges, Hi-Fi Collective will soon be stocking the full range of Cross-Caps. “Cross Caps do not make any unpleasant distortion on sound and do not colour the sound. The Cross Cap is a very fine capacitor offered at an affordable price.”   Specification: • Capacitors are wound from metallized (ZnAl) polypropylene foil…

With the growing popularity of Takman carbon film resistors we have decided to extend the values from the E12 range to the E24 range, this will add an extra 68 values to the 0.5W range, enough for anyones appetite. Due for delivery mid-Jan 2009. So this will accommodate the precise values needed for stepped attenuator, particularly with will enable a large number of step devices.  We are being…
We have purchased the E24 range of the 0.5W metals and have already made our first stepped attenuator which sounds amazing. These little beauties are 1% tolerance, non-magnetic, non-inductive, specifically designed for audio use. They even challenge the Audio Note Tantalums and the Shinkohs. To buy, CLICK HERE!

Hificollective are the first to stock the E12 range (>100K) of this exciting new resistor. Rated at 0.4W it further reinforces the amazing advances in Vishay`s Z-Foil technology. Effectively a naked Z-foil without it`s plastic coating offering incredibly low noise and a sound that is out of this World. To buy, CLICK HERE! For more information, CLICK HERE!
To add to our ever increasing line of stepped attenuators we now have the beautiful 2 pole 43 way Seiden (Japan) fitted with the Takman resistors, also from Japan. Have a read of Neville Roberts review and how he found swapping the all important load resistors around. We are currently awaiting fresh stocks of Shinkoh resistors so we will soon be selling this with ALL Shinkohs. To buy, CLICK…
After nearly a year of searching we have finally acquired huge stocks of the famous Allen Bradley Carbon Composite Resistors. Loved for its pure musical tone! And the great news is we have got loads of them. With over half a million in stock we have an impressive range of the 0.5W, 1W and 2Ws. To buy, CLICK HERE! For more information, CLICK HERE!
With the sad demise of Black Gate and stocks generally drying up Worldwide, we have invested heavily in alternative electrolytic capacitors. First with the Elna Silmics and Cerafines and now with the Japanese Nichicons. Designed specifically for Audio, these low cost caps are proving to be very popular. We now stock the KZ, FW, ES (bi-polar), DB, GB and FG. For more information, CLICK HERE!
With the growing popularity of the Clarity Cap`s polypropylene capacitors. We have dramatically extended the range of values of the ESA range now with 37 values from 0.1uF to 47uF. This now keeps the ESA range in line with the values of the SA range we stock. To buy, CLICK HERE! For more information, CLICK HERE!
