Dear Friends,

Hana Cartridge from Japan has arrived @ Audio Basic.

Introducing a new line from Japan, 華 (or hana, which means “brilliant and gorgeous” in the original Japanese). HANA Phono Cartridges use high rigidity aluminum cantilevers, and cross-shaped armatures, providing you with brilliant and gorgeous sound.  Hana “SH” and “SL” use nude natural diamond Shibata-stylus, capable of excellent high frequency response, giving you supreme transparency and excellent trackability.  Hana cartridges are produced by Excel Sound Corporation of Tokyo Japan, a long time OEM cartridge producer for 40 years.



Our first impression on Hana Cartridge is very musical, great vocal, good dynamic range and quiet.

HiFi World issue Feb 2016 has reviewed on Hana EL and EH.

Telos Grounding Noise Reducer is here !

Dear Friends,

Telos Grouding Noise Reducer has finally arrived. This product was being introduced by Jeff, himself in June. The respond was overwhelming and being pre-order by cusomters.

Some introduction:

In an audio setup, the effectiveness of the grounding facility has an immediate impact on the background noise. This translates to poor sound quality and greatly worsens the listening experience.

It is almost impossible to get satisfactory grounding facility, let alone one that meets the requirements for audio use. Most of the time, they only adhere to the minimum safety requirements. The common ones have the Neutral wire and the Ground wire connected together, or there is no Ground on the receptacles, leaving the Ground wire unconnected. This allows noise from the home appliances to pollute the Neutral wire, hence, causing interference. Electrical appliances like inverter air conditioner and those with switching power supplies, like computer, generate the highest level of interference.

When the electrical reference point is polluted with noise, it could get into the signal path and you could hear it as noise. The noise could potentially enter the digital circuit and cause bit error.

Thus, TELOS brings new meaning to grounding implementation. And this has been proven to be the most elegant way for any audio setup.

TELOS technical team analyzes audio equipment from a unique perspective. Every audio equipment uses power transformer in order to operate at the correct internal voltage. Hence, each equipment is said to have the primary side and secondary side. The primary side is from the power receptacle, all the way to the input of the transformer. The secondary side is from the output of the transformer to the circuit board. The audio circuitry remains within the secondary side.

We proposes the use of CPU in the GNR to calculate and generate high precision Ground reference voltage. Grounding is achieved by connecting the audio equipment to the binding posts of TELOS GNR that carry the Ground reference voltage. By doing so, GNR is able to truly correct the Ground reference point for the equipment chassis, audio circuitry and the Ground connection.

Using the same analogy as a high precision digital clock, GNR generates low distortion Ground reference voltage, giving each equipment a consistent reference point. When the audio setup is operating on a singular Ground potential, the signal transmission becomes least impeded, avoiding any transmission loss due to polarity mismatch and bit error. Therefore, truly achieving the best transmission possible.

TELOS GNR Active Grounding Box comes with Ground cables of the same materials. Thus each equipment is having the same grounding impedance characteristics, this greatly reduces the likelihood of coloration. By having an isolated Ground for your audio setup, the effect is as good as having a dedicated power line. Through the GNR generated Ground potential serving only your audio setup, noise will be totally isolated.

We strongly urge you to come for a demo, let us show you how to further elevate your musical enjoyment.

An Awesome review on Soulines Kubrick DCX turntable.

Dear Friends,

An Awesome review on Soulines Kubrick DCX turntable.

From the review : "...Fairly priced at $6,200 RRP (without tonearm), it’s perhaps a large investment for a punter’s first turntable. For someone stepping up from an entry level Rega or VPI for example, I think you’d be hard-pressed to match the quality and performance of the Kubrick DCX for under $10,000. 

The Soulines Kubrick DCX offers brilliant design based on experience and real-world development, solid engineering and a turntable that will faithfully please any enthusiast for many years to come."

SFC SK-FILTER LP anti-static

SK-FILTER is a remarkable product, set up to the side of the record player to discharge and remove static electricity from the record into the air while playing music.

SK-FILTER uses the patented material “Thunderon®” which has the ability to discharge static electricity into the air when static charged material approaches. To develop the new material for SK-FILTER the “Thunderon®”material was made into a thread-like material then knitted as not come apart.   

SK-Filter doesn't required physically brush the record surface. It performs with the SK-FILTER s few millimeters away from the record surface. It is also designed to match with a range of analog players with its height and distance from the platter adjustment.

It liberates the record from static electricity so the noise floor is dramatically reduced. Enjoy the sound with incredible resolution. If you are having problems with static then the SK-FILTER continuously removes the static for you.

Thunderon is a Patented organic conductivity fibre. Made in Japan.
