Sonneteer Orton, Ruby more precious than diamonds.

 Diamonds may well be a girls best friend, but give me a world class amplifier to listen to any day of the week, who needs vanity when you've got good music to listen to. That's why you need a Ruby in your life and there is no better Ruby than this rather gorgeous looking example from Sonneteer. Now we all know how good the Orton is, but now you can spice up your life with this stunning finish, in fact there are a variety of finish available but we think this Ruby is really rather fetching, don't you think.


 

 Oh, the remote control also has been upgraded! cool.

Oyaide 102 SSC Copper Cable new hot news from Oyaide Elec Japan

We've some hot new news from Oyaide Japan, actually we've known for sometime now, but Oyaide have just released the press announcement of their exciting new range of cables.

   This is the highest quality copper ever offered from Oyaide and uses new advanced techniques never before applied to audio cable. This proprietary design includes a wire drawing process to increase conductivity "to an incredible level of 102.3% IACS". Oyaide is using only pure virgin copper base material and then adds a special mechanical peeling, which is a very precisely controlled process and removes 100% of impurities. The wire is annealed twice to remove all induced stresses and strains whilst 'in-line' electric annealing avoids residue of soot left by the commonly used bell type annealing process. Their new technique includes a fine drawing process with natural diamond dies that yield a more uniform volume reduction with reduced stress and improved lubricity compared with synthetic diamond dies says Oyaide. A superior surface structure, with an outer diameter accuracy of +/-1μm, far exceeds the +/-8μm Japanese standard for conventional copper wires. The wire strands to eventually manufacture a finished cable is formed in 3E (3 Element) stranding, developed and patented by Sanshu Electric Wire, and have been adopted for audio to achieve a new, higher-spec. 3E stranding combines strands of three different diameters to increase the density of the wire by decreasing the spaces between strands. This results in a smaller outer diameter than the same gauge wire made with identical individual strands, plus a more accurate, stable and perfectly circular cross section. V2 (Version 2) 102 SSC cables are now available.

B&W P7 portable headphones hit Eden Audio

Having been long term fans of B&W products we decided here at Eden Audio to carry their line of products. The first thing we wanted after reading great things about them was to carry their line of portable headphones. Now they are here and after unboxing the P7portable headphones all we can say is WOW with capitals, the build quality is very impressive indeed, very slick and beautifully finished.

 Plus they sound great, the sound is crystal clear and hard hitting, they have great punch and attack and the bass is deep and tuneful, to say we're impressed is an understatement . The whole package is actually very modestly priced for the performance on offer here, very highly recommended.

Acoustic Revive Triple C range of new audio cables.

As you probably well know Furukuwa decided to end production of the PCOCC-A range of cables, we were in great expectation of what would happen next to Acoustic Revive as this was the conductor employed by them in there highly successful and award winning range of cables. The hot news was that the Japanese manufacture of exquisite sounding cables had found something the believed to take the sound to the next level.

  The new range of cables were to use the new Triple C conductor, where more information about this new type of conductor can be found on the Acoustic Revive website. But we can happily inform you this new range of a long wait will finally be hitting the Eden Audio demo room this month, pop by and have a listen to what these new cables can do, the feedback so far coming from Japan has been very positive!
