Koichiro Akimoto-san's latest achievement, the ViV Lab Rigid Float /CB tonearm arrived. This new version is basically identical to the original version besides some general improvements. But the most important difference is the newly developed tonearm wand which is made of carbon fiber. It is extremely lightweight with a very high stiffness and favorable resonance characteristics. The sound improvement compared to the original Rigid Float tonearm is staggering. We are amazed!

NEW ARRIVAL: Will the new Rigid Float Carbon tonearm float your boat?
Shorties finally back in stock...
Similar to digital inputs, unused analog inputs on your power amp, pre-amp or integrated amp act as aerials for RFI, polluting the circuit and degrading the overall sound performance of your hifi system. Plug in our analog-terminator "shortie" and you will get reduced distortion, lower background noise and a cleaner and well-balanced sound.

High Fidelity Cables released a brand new power cable - The CT-1
Don’t think the CT-1 is HFC's entry level power cord, think of it as your entry to the new Magnetic Conduction Technology. Regardless of what type of power cable you currently have it will use the older technology of Electrical conduction. With that there is no observable effect on the behavior of electrons. Magnetic conduction changes all that and this power cord is here to prove it. Experience the difference in clarity dynamics detail and realism of the CT-1 Power Cable and Patented Magnetic conduction technology today.

BRAND NEW - Audio Magic's latest product - The "Beeswax" Premiere Super Fuse
Audio Magic latest fuse in the Premiere line - The "Beeswax" Premiere Super Fuse. The Beeswax version is identical to the Premiere version the only difference is Audio Magic uses Beeswax instead of the normal anti vibration fluid, this gives the fuse a very organic flavor but maintains the detail, dynamics and everything the Premiere fuse does. The production of this fuse is very difficult, very hard to get the Beeswax into the fuse but the organic sound is too good to ignore. Not only the most expensive fuse on the market - but certainly one of the best!

The Audio Beat reviews the ViV Lab Rigid Float Tonearm
Under the title: Why Everything You Thought You Knew Is Wrong, Or... If Dr. Frankenstein Created a Tonearm, Roy Gregory of The Audio Beat writes about hi first impression reviewing the ViV Lab Rigid Float Tonearm (full review in progress).
He wrote: "...hearing a record with the Rigid Float has a gloriously unimpeded sense of energy and momentum. Dynamics are quick and crisp, and forward motion has the sort of speed, freedom and grace that I normally associate with sliding on ice. If a really good conventional tonearm is able to corner better, like a sports car on low-profile tires, the Rigid Float makes it seem like there are no corners at all. Musically speaking, this thing just glides through the track..." Check out the entire article
