The Taga Harmony PC-5000 conditioner is undoubtedly a device which is worth our attention. Its most significant advantage is that it has four independent groups of outputs—two for each group, used for power filtering of dedicated devices. And, from the very first moments of listening, you could hear a distinctive change in the high-frequency range. And, in the reproduced stereo image. The treble became more gentle and more smooth, but without loss of dynamics. And, the effect was as if the Taga Harmony PC-5000 got rid of background noises. And, specific sounds placed over much cleaner sound layers. Generally, the stereophony gained more breath, and the individual tones got slightly more transparent. Also, when I played from a vinyl record, the sound became cleaner with better-controlled bass. Author: Hi-Fi Class – BEST BUY, 21-July-2020.

The Power of a cord. I arrived at my friend’s house and greeted with a warm welcome. As I entered I could hear the familiar sound of his system, but now it sounded much better, and I said: “man that sounds good” So many things have happened since I saw my friend and I had a much better understanding of his requirements!

Sound of music better
Sound of music better is the title, and I want to share with you a true story that happened to me while I was in England. And. I did not realise at that time just what a difference a sound could make to my life. It started, but I guess we could call it a quirk of fate, and as they say, some things meant to be. I had no idea that from a simple meeting, which was the result of an eBay transaction, I would be MD of Perkune audiophile cables just over a year later!

Do you like high quality vintage audio
Do you like high-quality vintage audio? I know that I certainly do. And, I think the sound produced from vintage audio equipment is simply the best. Good quality audio equipment that has been used and is second hand is often tough to find. Because you never know the history. And, therefore, why is it for sale.

How to make your Vinyl better?
How to make your Vinyl better?. Old or new, crackles or scratches it does not matter because the sound from Vinyl is the best. But, How to make your Vinyl better?
After the post that I wrote a couple of days ago, one of my terrific friends said to me why don’t you tell people how they can make their Vinyl sound much better.
Vinyl sounds beautiful
To hear the Vinyl sounds’ coming to you from the other room makes your heart race. The smell from a Vinyl, as you remove it from its sleeve makes you sigh because Vinyl sounds beautiful.
The feel of the vinyl, as you place it on the turntable is something that not easily forgotten. One of my friends just returned from America and invited me to his house to listen to his system. Now, with the addition of a new tube amplifier. He wanted me to hear how his Vinyl sounds – or so I thought! Continue reading Vinyl sounds beautiful

Cryogenic treated cables
Cryogenic treated cables. I am always trying to find a way for a person to hear a better sound from their audio cables. And, because over the years, I have learned that it is the cables that influence the music you hear from your loudspeakers.
But, always do things step by step because you could easily overdo the treatment and not be pleased with the results! Continue reading Cryogenic treated cables

Best value audiophile cables
Best value audiophile cables. During my years, I was working with audio equipment and Hi-End audio equipment. And, I am ofter asked, who makes the best value audiophile cables?
As with everything these days you have to try for yourself. Because only you have the ears that can determine if the cables are right for you!
Choosing audio systems
You are choosing audio systems. The first thing that you have to do when selecting a more extensive stereo system is to ask yourself what exactly do you want to achieve. Are you planning to move from one room to your present home to a more important place? Or are you planning to relocate and will have a larger listening room at your new residence.
Question what to look for
Question what to look for, and Just precisely, what do you want, when are you choosing a different system? And, who do you ask? I hope my ‘Question what to look for?’ will help you choose wisely. Because we certainly have different requirements and also another hearing. And, our hearing is one of the biggest problems we face when involved with audio.
I have spent hours talking to people about what to look for when buying an audio system. And, so I thought it could be a good idea to share my knowledge and ideas with you.
Old school where to start?
The Old school where to start? Allow me to begin with your listening room because this is the first place. Even before thinking about filling your room with equipment. Because of the importance of allowing the space to be receptive to your needs.

Guitarists hear a difference
Guitarists hear a difference – Let me first go back to the ’70s where I was a guitar player and would drive my mother mad with all the noise I used to make in my bedroom (as many of us did in those days!)
It says that a guitarist certainly can hear the difference between cable he uses and the sound produced! Continue reading Guitarists hear a difference

Tannoy 15″ Challenge – OB/300 litre. Tannoy makes some of the world’s best loudspeakers or “Drivers” as called. One of the most exciting drivers that Tannoy ever made was the Tannoy GRF Memory, and so I decided to have a Challenge using this driver. Continue reading Tannoy 15″ Challenge

Open baffle is great
Open Baffle is excellent and, becoming more popular. And, always, a good topic for discussion between audiophiles. I have noticed, recently, OB seems to be rearing its head, and people are taking notice. And, I decided to build a system for myself, so I could find out what I could hear.
And did I like what I heard?
Old or new amplifier?
Old or new amplifier? When I started listening to music in the ’70s, I had a Leek valve amplifier and loved the sound it produced. When I played my guitar, it was through a Vox AC 30 valve amplifier, and again I loved the sound it made. What do you think is the best? Should I buy an old or a new amplifier or just be content with what I have.
Cryogenic treatment for cables
Cryogenic treatment for cables. There are so many reports and articles relating to cryogenics on items we use in Industrial and domestic life. I am interested in sound and whether or not I could improve the quality of sound. But be careful, because if you do too much treatment, you can find your sound could lose some ‘Air’ and upper details! Continue reading Cryogenic treatment for cables

You must get the positive supply to the correct point on your equipment and to do this is very easy. And, all you need is a test light or test screwdriver. Continue reading Which way is correct?
Burn-in for audio cables
Burn-in for audio cables, is it fact or fiction? And, I would like to state there is also a burn-in or break-in period for anything having electrical components. It is to do with the actual cable you use as when new has no directionality. And, by running a current through it for a few days gives it a direction and straightens out all the obstructions. But, as with everything on this earth, you have to try for your self. And, you will hear the difference after only a few days, because ‘Burn-in’ is essential, and certainly not fiction!
