Audio-Digital & Video Cable
The Premium digital audio/video cable with a solid copper core conductor and double shielding is designed for connecting streaming devices, CD or Blu-ray players to an AV receiver or an audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter). It is also suitable for transmitting analog video signals. Wave impedance: Wave impedance is the most important parameter for cables that transmit high frequencies sand digital information. It results from the geometry of the cable and the dielectric constant of the dielectric used. The wave impedance is precisely adapted to the respective application in order to avoid reflections in the cable. This is the basic prerequisite for fast and error-free transmission of digital information and authentic reproduction. Gold-plated contacts: Surfaces are always rough when viewed under a microscope. The effective contact surface is thus reduced to the "peaks" on the respective surfaces. Gold is a very soft material that evens out tiny irregularities, increases the contact surface and reduces undesirable transition resistance. In addition, the precious metal gives the contact surfaces long-term protection from corrosion. Shielding: EMC interference, from sources such as mobile phone and WiFi networks, is constantly increasing. A dense (e.g. multi-layered) shielding is necessary to protect sensitive signals from this interference, so preserving the fine details.
Interconnect Cables: Unlock Your System's True Potential
What are Interconnect cables and why do they matter?
Interconnect cables form the critical link between components in your audio system, carrying line level signals from source equipment through your preamp to your power amp and speakers. These cables connect your CD player to amplifier, DAC to powered monitors, or turntable to receiver - ensuring pristine signal transfer at every stage.
The difference between standard cables and premium interconnects reveals itself immediately: reduced distortion, enhanced clarity, and the ability to hear subtle details that lesser cables simply cannot deliver. Quality interconnect cables don't just connect - they preserve the musical integrity your components were designed to produce.
Do interconnect cables make a difference?
Absolutely. While the extent varies depending on system resolution, experienced audiophiles consistently agree that cables matter. High-quality interconnects with superior shielding and advanced conductor materials enhance sound quality by blocking noise interference and maintaining signal integrity across every connection.
The benefits become unmistakable in revealing systems: tighter bass response, expanded soundstage depth, and crystalline clarity that brings you closer to the original performance. Premium interconnects help your equipment deliver the best performance possible, making them essential for audiophiles who demand nothing less than reference-grade fidelity.

The year 2020 marked the 50th Anniversary of perennial classic-rock favorite, America. Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song "A Horse With No Name." America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first #1 single. Forty plus years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. From their formative years, America has been a band capable of transcending borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a rainbow of divergent cultures, America's audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans. Greatest Hits In Concert spans a bow over the career of these great musicians. • DAA using an especially new produced analog master
Since 1976 they are on the stage, have performed on more than 4,000 occasions in 14 countries and have released more than 26 albums – these figures highlight the impressive achievements of the Blues Company and demonstrate that the musicians gathered around the mastermind Todor Todorovic have had an enormous influence on the blues in Germany. However, far more impressive than the statistics is the manner in which Todorovic, known by everyone simply as “Tosho”, celebrates the blues with his buddies on stage. Tosho lets the guitar fly with his pieces that bubble with elegance, while his unmistakeable voice gives the songs their distinctive expression. The Blues Company has always been open-minded to new techniques. They were among the audiophile pioneers, who in the late 1980s brought out the first blues CDs, and later the first SACDs and 5.1 surround recordings - so we were the second Blues band in the world. But one thing was still missing in our releases: a live in the studio recording with an audience. The trick with a Silent Concert is that visitors, unlike at normal concerts, do not appreciate the music through a PA, but through headphones. Thus, they are able to receive perfect stereo sound anywhere in the room and can even adjust the volume themselves. However, only a relatively small circle of people can experience this concert enjoyment. For technical reasons, the number of listeners is limited to a maximum of 100. The auditorium was equipped with sofas, chairs, beanbag chairs and floor lamps, and the band did not play on a stage, but rather dispersed in the audience. The sound engineer was able to create an individual in-ear monitor mix at the highest tonal level for each of the musicians involved as well as for the stereo mix for the audience. This culminated in the Blues Company presenting itself at ist very best: with crisp Chicago blues and gentle ballads, with crackling guitar solos and a blasting brass section, with many rock and soul additions, and with highlights from concerts past. The audio recording literally vibrates with vivacity. For the band, as well as for the audience, this was a great, exciting, unforgettable experiment. • DAA using an especially new produced analog master
