Thanks to such support from so many great customers, we’ve been able to use this space in our catalogs to regularly announce exciting developments. We’re growing – in size and scope – all possible because of your business. I told you not too long ago about our move from 6,000 square feet to 18,000 square feet. And then again about our move to 70,000 square feet. Then it was the big news about our new pressing plant, Quality Record Pressings. Now we’re taking on the new audiophile frontier: hi-res downloads. Introducing our new Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez store (www.superhirez.com). We’re the first to market with major-label, mainstream DSD downloads, and we also offer the highest-quality PCM files. Customers have been calling me and stopping me at shows for the past couple of years, asking, “When is someone going to have DSD downloads of the music that you reissue on LP and SACD?” Well, now you can find both DSD and PCM downloads for the likes of Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, the Counting Crows, Shelby Lynne, Rickie Lee Jones, Nat “King” Cole, Miles Davis and on and on. We’ve struck deals with the majors, and we’re adding more titles to the site daily. Stay tuned to watch the selection explode. We’re also contracting with several independent labels and artists to include an even greater variety. We’ve developed a comprehensive getting-started guide to walk the first-time user through the entire process of enjoying hi-res downloads. And we’ve got all of the equipment and software you’d need to get started. Everything but the computer is available at Super HiRez. This was a massive undertaking for our company, both in expense and time. But so many of you asked for this, and we’re proud to be able to bring it to you. Please see page 2 to learn more about Super HiRez. And of course make sure you head to www.superhirez.com. I can hear some of you worrying – are we moving away from vinyl and SACDs? Absolutely not! I’m a vinyl guy, first and foremost. It’s still how I enjoy almost all of my music, and it’s still what fuels my passion for this business. We just started a pressing plant, for crying out loud. And we still sell more SACDs than anyone in the world. None of that is changing. We simply wanted to add to our mission to be the best music store in the world. Quality remains the overarching principle to all of what we do. Do not worry: Your records and SACDs aren’t going anywhere. In fact, concerning vinyl, we’ve got more huge news: Acoustic Sounds is now the U.S. importer for SME turntables. SME is of course renowned for the precision and craftsmanship they put into their turntables and tonearms. They create truly special, audiophile-grade products. Each component part for SME turntables and tonearms are manufactured in-house using the most advanced CNC machining, pressure die-casting, injection molding, metal finishing, electro-plating and anodizing to ensure the resulting product will provide a lifetime of listening pleasure.

I’m sorry to end this on a sad note, but we want to pay deserving tribute to our very dear friend Clark Williams, who passed away at age 50 this summer. Clark worked at Acoustic Sounds for nearly nine years over two stints, and he was amazingly talented at turntable setup, building a system on a budget, evaluating recordings and recommending music. He was a blast to have around, and we all miss him greatly. Please read our tribute to Clark on page 10. Happy holidays to you all. Thank you so much for your support and business.

CEO acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 1 SUPER HiREZ audio files for audiophiles Acoustic Sounds’ Super HiRez service fueling audio revolution - By Dave Migdal There’s a quiet revolution taking place in the audiophile community. Just as high-definition television (HDTV) changed the way we watch television, high-resolution audio is redefining the way we listen to music. And Acoustic Sounds, the worldwide leader in audiophile recordings, is leading the charge. Acoustic Sounds recently launched Superhirez.com, the first digital music download service to feature a broad spectrum of mainstream albums using the most advanced audio technology available….Direct Stream Digital (DSD). It’s the same digital technology used to produce SACDs, and to the collective ears at Acoustic Sounds, it’s the format that most closely replicates the analog experience. Make no mistake, Super HiRez is about providing music lovers access to high-quality music in a convenient, easy-to-use fashion. The website features guides, tutorials and other information geared to making the downloading of albums as seamless as possible. But it’s also about giving audiophiles alternatives to MP3 and other lower-resolution formats. While Acoustic Sounds is partial to DSD, albums are also available in hires PCM formats such as ALAC and FLAC. The top selling albums so far include “Just a Little Lovin’” by Shelby Lynne, “August and Everything After” by Counting Crows, “The Very Thought of You” by Nat “King” Cole, “Come Away with Me” by Norah Jones and 2 “We Take Requests” by the Oscar Peterson Trio. “People have been asking me for months to create a hires digital download service,” said Chad Kassem, the owner and CEO of Acoustic Sounds. “The launch of Super HiRez was simply a matter a listening to what consumers were asking for and giving them what they want.” After launching in late August with 35 albums (Mostly from Acoustic Sounds’ Analogue Productions label), the digital music download service is expected to feature between 300-500 albums by the end of 2013. Deals have already been made with Sony Music and Universal Music Group, providing U.S. consumers access to both companies’ vast libraries of music mastered in DSD. Deals are also in the works to expand the reach of Super HiRez to Canada in the fall/winter timeframe. Other international markets may follow in 2014. And the early reviews from audiophiles and even nonaudiophiles have been outstanding. Mike Snider of USA Today, who covered the launch of Super HiRez, shared his initial thoughts of the service and Norah Jones’ “Little Broken Hearts” with the newspaper’s 3.2 million daily readers: “Compared with the standard CD, the DSD download had richer sound — and much more warmth than the portable version on my iPod.” Similar sentiments have been expressed by the audiophile media, but the revolution doesn’t begin and end there. In fact, just days after the launch of the Super HiRez, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced its support for high-resolution audio (HRA in CEA parlance) and stated it would be one of the focal points during the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show. CEA research found acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 SUPER HiREZ that nine in 10 consumers say sound quality is the most important component of a quality audio experience, along with compelling content (85 percent). CEA research has also confirmed that audio buyers and potential buyers focus on quality as a critical purchase factor, second only to price. As if a blessing from the CEA wasn’t enough, its news was followed by the introduction of several high-resolution audio products from Sony Electronics. Kassem and Marc Sheforgen, the COO of Acoustic Sounds, were recognized at Sony’s press event at Lincoln Center in New York, and Super HiRez was mentioned as one of the pre- ferred destinations for digital downloads. We’re talking about some serious industry momentum here, folks. But whether it’s a global association, a major player in the consumer electronics industry, or an audiophile company in Salina, Kan., high-resolution audio comes down to providing music lovers with an immersive experience as an alternative to MP3, along with the power to choose the digital formats that suits them best. That’s Super HiRez. And it’s simply revolutionary. FILES ARE ADDED DAILY! We’re adding big titles from all the major labels on a daily basis. Head over to SuperHiRez.com.

Audiophiles get ready — The RCA Living Stereo limited edition series from Analogue Productions will show you! We’re bringing you 200-gram LPs cut at 33 1/3 and released on Hybrid SACD, featuring 25 premier-sounding titles from RCA’s Living Stereo golden era. “golden minute” — in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era — pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled “...The sound is as it should be: Inviting the listener into the music and entirely constant with (conductor Fritz) Reiner’s fidelity and warmth, readings. This transfer bespeaks a confidence in the lifelike presence sound on the master tape without the artificial touch-ups (a and midband brightness) later found in the original Living Stereo pressing and the more pronounced jiggering in the version from illumination. Classic Records. ... If ever there were a must-have LP in the recent wave of audiophile reincarnations, this is it. Treat yourself and thank (Chad) Kassem for doing it the justice it deserves.” — Harry Pearson, HP Soundings, Founder & Owner We know you may have heard many, but not all of these titles, as originals or reissues by other labels. We’ve read the reviews and comments about those LPs. We think that now, all the issues complained about on all those previous records have been addressed. We’ve remastered these historic records from the original 3-track master tapes and have had them recut by engineer Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York. Again, we know how our customers feel. We agree with most of the comments about the prior reissues. We feel that all prior reissues of this series had various shortcomings. And we think you’ll be thoroughly pleased when you hear how we’ve addressed all the issues. These 25 titles are some of the most famous classical recordings — says Acoustic Sounds founder/owner Chad Kassem, “These are fantastic records — very warm, rich and smooth.” And of course, where to press these gems but our own premier vinyl record pressing plant, Quality Record Pressings, where the best-sounding audiophile LPs in the world are produced. All titles will be plated there by Gary Salstrom. Would the packaging for this reissue series be anything less than stellar? Look for original tip-on jacket fascimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the “Living Stereo” logo, LSC numbers and “Shaded Dog” label.

Clark also was perhaps the most instrumental person in encouraging Chad Kassem to start Quality Record Pressings, now widely considered to be the world’s finest pressing plant. Clark made the workplace fun – a lot of fun. He worked for Acoustic Sounds first in the 1990s for a couple of years, and then again from 2004 to 2011. His antics were never ending. He teased the people who needed it most, and he wasn’t afraid to be relentless. He really, really was like a big kid. And he had this whole cool combination of Cajun colloquialisms (he’s from Houma, Louisiana – born and raised) and casual style. It was, well, fun…and funny. And his memory… Clark had a freakishly good memory. Right up to the end, he could recall with lightning quickness the funniest stories having to do with the people with whom he was visiting. O ur dear friend and coworker Clark Williams passed away early Saturday, August 24, 2013, following his yearlong struggle with cancer. Clark was only 50. Clark would have said he “snuffed it.” Cause that’s the sort of thing he said when someone died. Not because he was flippant about it or didn’t care – far, far from it. No, it’s just one of the many unique little ways or sayings he had about him that’ll make those of us who knew him well miss him so. There’s no conveying through writing who Clark was. He had a special style about him, entirely his own. And it was infectious. He was hilarious. He was extraordinarily talented. He was independent. He was passionate. And he was cool. Above all, he was unique – and memorable. Maybe among the best things you could say about a person. Through the prism of Acoustic Sounds, it’s important to describe in more detail just how talented this man was. There’s not been a better ear. We might grant you an equal, but we ain’t coming off that statement of nobody better. ‘Cause it’s the truth. Clark was flat-out gifted in the way that he could listen to music. His ability to hear what was taking place in a recording was incomparable. And that’s what we do at Acoustic Sounds. We sell music to audiophiles – people who want to hear the best sound that recording and playback technology can deliver – and we ourselves are audiophiles. Clark was better than all of us at diagnosing what sounded good – or bad – and why. More importantly, he had fun doing what he was good at. This whole business of people being ate up with their high-end stereo being better than the next guy’s, or using a stereo as a status symbol was silly to Clark. What Clark cared about was: Does it sound good to you? And, does it sound better than what you had before? He urged people to trust their ear, to not take it too seriously. To love what they were doing. Otherwise, he’d likely have said, do something else. And, man, did his customers trust him. Equipment manufacturers, too. A lot of people tapped into his talent and reaped the rewards of his recommendations. He was a whiz at turntable setup, at system compatibility, at building systems to fit various budgets. Oh, and he could turn people on to music from various eras and genres. He never subscribed to the shortsighted, unimaginative curmudgeon philosophy of “there’s no good new music or recordings.” Nonsense. His stereo wasn’t stuck in the ‘70s and ‘80s – the era of his youth. He enjoyed a healthy variety. Clark made major professional contributions to Acoustic Sounds and to the industry at large. In 2006, he co-produced The Ultimate Analogue Test LP – a record that lived up to its name in helping people set up their turntables for optimal playback. The record has become the industry standard and has won From left to right: Chad Kassem, Clark Williams, Chad Stelly He was something of a renaissance man – into yoga, cars, fishing, investments, running, whiskey, art, guns, marksmanship, food, travel, live music and whatever else we’re leaving out. If it was fun, he probably dug it. And he had found his suitable copilot these past seven-or-so years – his wife, Kate. They were adventurers together, and they did their best to set the world on fire with the time that they had. Clark retired from Acoustic Sounds in 2011, and he and Kate moved to what Clark called “the redneck Rockies” – northwest Arkansas. It was an area – the Ozarks – where they had loved to camp, explore and relax. They got set up in what they called their “tree house” and got down to some good living. The cancer came on strong and advanced – brain tumors – August of last year. It was a hell of a seesaw from there. Clark’s wife, Kate, maintained one of the most inspiring, informative and regrettably tragic journals one might imagine via their Caring Bridge page throughout the ordeal. Eventually, after enjoying two brief periods of having been supposedly cancer free, more tumors cropped up – on the other side of Clark’s brain. It was curtains – that’s what Clark might have said. He was admitted to Hospice and a few days ago returned to his home as he’d wished. Clark died exactly one year from the day of his first diagnosis. Clark’s steady message throughout his sickness – and actually even before he was sick – was to value time. “That’s what I don’t have,” he said. “I can make more money, but I can’t make more time.” He told those who’d listen to hug their kids, to dance with their wives, to go places, to do the things they wanted to do.

They go on to say that Strong Persuader “introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues.” As much as anyone next to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cray helped the blues not only survive, but thrive, says Acoustic Sounds’ owner Chad Kassem. American composer, musicologist and guitar legend Ry Cooder teams with North Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt to create an exquisite musical realm, with both musicians playing exceptional slide guitar. Their collaboration evokes musical elements from many cultures and styles. Percussion by Sukhvindar Singh on tabla and Cooder’s 14-year-old son Joachim on dumbek. This recording won a Grammy Award.

With this album, Waters touches heavily on the dangers of capitalism, the insensitivity of the human race, the ridiculousness of war, and the onslaught of mindless entertainment that encroaches on mankind on a day-to-day basis.” - All Music Guide FEATURED POP/ROCK One of the most incredible sounding records we’ve ever heard.

While the grinding opening track, “Stranglehold,” stretches beyond eight minutes and contains several extended, fiery-hot guitar leads, it does not come off as your typical ‘70s overindulgent fare -- every single note counts, as Nugent wails away as if his life depended on it.” - All Music Guide Recorded on location at Carnegie Hall The Weavers Reunion at Carneige Hall, 1963 AAPF 005 - $35.00 CAPF 005 SA - $30.00 acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 Also available on Hybrid Multi-Channel SACD 23 ANALOGUE apo records PRODUCTIONS pressed at quality record pressings Ironing Board Sam Direct-To-Disc AAPO 029 - $19.99 Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton Direct-To-Disc AAPO 029 - $19.99 Jerron “Blind Boy” Paxton Volume 2: Direct-To-Disc AAPO 030 - $19.99 Calvin Cooke, Aubrey Ghent & The Campbell Brothers Direct-To-Disc AAPO 031 - $19.99 The Campbell Brothers Beyond The 4 Walls AAPO 2025-45 - $35 24 Beyond The 4 Walls is the triumphant return of the Campbell Brothers to studio recording.

When Man Child hit the market in 2009, blues lovers freaked out partly because of how young Marquise was to be sounding like such an aged veteran.

Whoa! Roy Orbison’s 1963 album of the same name, recorded for the Monument label, is devastating for a number of reasons, namely that his ‘Blue Bayou’ and his readings of Johnny Mercer’s ‘Dreams’ and Stephen Foster’s ‘Beautiful Dreamer’ are here, as is his gorgeous reading of Cindy Walker’s ‘Shahdaroba.’ Half of these cuts were recorded during the sessions for Sings Lonely and Blue, the other half in Nash Vegas in 1963 with Fred Foster producing both.” — All Music Guide “Time and familiarity — through multiple reissues — may have muted the seeming significance of some of what’s here, but in 1960 Sings Lonely and Blue was not only a breakthrough for Roy Orbison as his debut LP, but also for rock ‘n’ roll. Up to that point, apart from Elvis Presley — who was in a class by himself — few white rock ‘n’ rollers had even tried to make as bold a use of the LP as what we hear on this record.” — All Music Guide Borodin: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3 AORG 153-45 - $54.98 Bizet: Carmen & L’arlisienne Suite AORG 157-45 - $54.98 Debussy & Ravel: Nocturnes & Mother Goose AORG 169-45 - $54.98 Andre Previn - Grieg & Schumann: Piano Concertos................................................

Remixed and remastered with three bonus tracks to boot. Guitarist/ vocalist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez and bassist/mystery man Carlo Von Sextron deliver the goods on this incredibly influential album. A classic in the pantheon of rock. “... Like Clockwork (Matador) is the best and most focused Queens album since Songs for the Deaf in 2002. The drummer (Dave Grohl) and bassist (Nick Oliveri) on that album are back in part-time roles, and they help anchor what is one of the more consistent batch of songs Homme has authored. The key is not just the band’s ability to paralyze with power or to space out with stoner-rock psychedelia, but its willingness to infuse its melodies with vulnerability and a disquieting fragility.” — Chicago Tribune new & featured new from Light in the Attic The Evil One ALTA 097 - $24.98 Don’t Slander Me ALTA 098 - $24.98 Gremlins Have Pictures ALTA 099 - $23.98 Sarah Jarosz - Build Me Up From Bones......AWEK 40931.......$19.98 Sarah Neufeld - Hero Brother....................ACSL 10095........ $25.98 Scott Walker - Collection 1967-1970.......AMER 3728851.. $189.98 Seasick Steve - Live At Third Man Records....................................................ATMR 193..............$14.98 Sebadoh - Secret EP......................................AJFL 54826...........$14.98 Serkin, Parnas & Levine - Schubert: Trout Quintet....................................................ACOL 7067.......... $34.98 The Shins - Live At Third Man Records 10/8/2012................................ATMR 184...............$14.98 the rolling stones santana Sweet Summer SunHyde Park Live + DVD AEAG 203451 - $59.98 From Speakers Corner The Rolling Stones’ historic and triumphant return to Hyde Park was without doubt the event of the summer.

It was a major revolution in sound quality, and the beginnings of high fidelity. Perfected with the birth of stereo in the mid-1950s, Decca’s ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence and a golden age of classical recorded music was born. The Analogue Years presents six LPs on 180-gram vinyl from those celebrated international recordings that emerged from the London-based record label in that pre-digital era.

It represents the culmination of 20 years research, development and experience in the production of turntables and tonearms. Theoretically the aim was simple, ie. to spin the record in the nearest possible way to the master and to enable the tonearm to emulate the cutter head. *Tonearm Not Included 4 motor with VTA and motor controller T STABIXL4V - $30,275.00 FEATURED KUZMA EQUIPMENT STABI S 4 POINT TONEARM The heart of the new construction is a unique 4-point bearing. The first set of of two points (similar to a unipivot bearing) allows vertical movement. The second set of two points allows horizontal movment. All four points have minimal friction and zero play in all playing directions thus ensuring the cartridge platform and the cartridge itself move with very low friction and minimal vibration across the record. “...I think the Kuzma 4Point pushed more energy down the pipeline. It sounded closer to the sound of the tape than any other arm I’ve heard...the Kuzma 4Point may be the finest tonearm out there, period.” - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Stabi S is Kuzma’s smallest turntable with a design approach normally found only in more expensive models. Its unique shape and construction of solid brass rods, provide an extremely rigid connection to platter, bearing and tonearm support. Includes electronic speed controller. *Tonearm Not Included T STABI SPS - $3,410.00 (WITH MOTOR CONTROL) T 4PTNSE $6,375.00 STABI REFERENCE 2 T 4PTNSEBI $6,675.00 WITH DIGITAL POWER SUPPLY (WITH BIWIRE OPTION) STOGI S12 VTA TONEARM This is of a unipivot design with a unique, rigid headshell made from a solid aluminum block and a base of solid brass that control all the vibration and facilitate stability of the tonearm as a whole. Wires are in one uninterrupted piece from headshell to RCA phono connectors. By special order, wiring can also be fitted in for balanced connection. Designed to fit a standard 9-inch base. This is constructed from two plates, each plate being made from a sandwich construction of two 10 mm aluminium plates, separated by an acrylic plate clamped together with prestressed, non-magnetic, stainless steel screws. The turntable chassis ( top plate) is suspended by large springs submerged in silicone oil, with a low resonance of 2.2 Hz, which dampens movements of the springs themselves. The main base ( bottom plate ) is supported by three aluminium and stainless steel spikes. The top plate is easily levelled by four knobs. When this plate is lifted (for transport) the silicone suspension reservoirs are automatically sealed.

We all know, or certainly we all should know, that dialing in your correct tracking force is absolutely essential for optimal record playback.

Systems DB-9 ALPS Headphone Amp From the less is more school of thought, the DB Systems DB-9 is proof positive that sexy packaging contributes nothing to musicality and performance. David Hadaway of DB Systems has been quietly doing things the right way for over 35 years. One listen to this ageless design is all it will take to realize good sound never goes out of style. Begins from the pursuit of an extraordinary amplifier that can well match with modern top quality headphones, inspired by the soul of Rupert Neve’s legendary design philosophy, bearing with modern simplism style appearance, Bellari M HA 540 $299.00 HA 540 Tube Headphone Amp FOSGATE M HA-1A $975.00 HA-1A Integrated Headphone Vacuum Tube Amplifier Lehmann audio Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp CREek audio M OBH-21SE Creek OBH-21SE Headphone Amp $500.00 $1,499.95 The Fosgate Signature embodies unique and patented circuit topologies, elevating the headphone listening experience. The genesis of the design started over 2 decades ago. Countless man-hours of working with every possible major circuit approach was not just explored, but designed, built, and auditioned by Jim Fosgate himself. M LINEAR $1,149.00 Do you have any idea how great your headphones really could sound? Hear a Black Cube Linear now and expect a surprise! Dynamic headphones are much more different than most people realize. For the same sound pressure level the power needed with different headphone models can vary up to a factor of about 500! Impedances can be different to a factor of more than 20! This is one seriously heavy-duty piece of gear. We’re not kidding. It weighs 15 ½ pounds!! It’s made from ultra-high-quality parts. It looks stunning – especially for a headphone amp. The sound is so typically Cayin – that being natural and musically delicate without excessive warmth or detail. In other words: just right. It’s got an impedance selector switch that ranges from 6 to 300 ohms, so that it interfaces perfectly with any pair of headphones. Available in Black and Silver MICROMEGA E MMYZIC MYZIC Headphone Amp The OBH-21SE features two pairs of stereo phono sockets (RCA jacks) on the rear panel for input from any line-level source and chain linking to another product in a tape loop circuit. Also, internally-advanced circuitry is used to split the power supply from a single positive to a split positive/ negative supply, which allows circuits to be DC coupled and to eliminate capacitors on the SE version. 90 M FOS HEADAMP Signature Tube Headphone Amp The ha540 is a real high-end piece with plenty of gain that is uniquely capable of driving headphones rated from 16 – 2000 Ohms. Having two separate inputs, it’s brilliantly designed to work equally well with both high and low output level source components. This means it will produce a high level signal of superb clarity when connected directly to a CD player, computer, iPod or mp3 player. Bellari products are all hand assembled in the USA. CAYIN AUDIO M DB-9 ALPS $235.00 acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 $269.00 MyZic is a full function, highly stable, energy efficient headphone amplifier with its own internal switching power supply and cutting edge circuitry that delivers detail without any harsh edge.

AUDIENCE W ADEPT 2 $2,495.00 Adept Response aR2p Heavy Duty High-Resolution Power Conditioner The Adept Response High Resolution Power Conditioner is a cutting edge design providing the best power conditioning possible without limiting dynamics. Since power must respond quickly and completely to the demands of program material we believe it is imperative that power conditioning components present the lowest possible impedance power path while providing wide bandwidth noise reduction.

The Symposium SEGUE ISO platform is the first platform expressly designed to isolate low frequency vertical wave vibration. It achieves its goals through a unique system of five cocentric staineless steel precision compression springs which are internally damped with aircell foam. Much more linear in action as compared to lossy rubber, sorbothane and polymers or even magnetic suspension systems and air bladder systems, the ISO will not induce bass “bloating,” transient blurring or loss of dynamics due to non-linearities of these more commonly used systems, while still providing the classic Symposium “energy absorption” design. Used as recommended, the ISO will reduce or eliminate bass feedback and floor-borne shock and vibration. 21x18.75 LG SEGUE ISO MD with 80# Vertical Isolation S LSISO MD $549.00 19x14 STD SEGUE ISO LD with 40# Vertical Isolation S SSISO LD $349.00 FEATURED ISOLATION DEVICES SYMPOSIUM ACOUSTICS Rollerblock Series 2+ /Set of 4 I RB2 4 $499.00 The Series 2 Rollerblock body is made from solid, rectangular blocks of extremely hard alloy aircraft aluminum, and are finished with a black “hardcoat” anodizing. This relatively thin, special layer, harder than the aircraft aluminum itself (which is harder than some types of steel), improves contact efficiency and provides “constrained layer” resonance damping to the body. Also available as Set of 3: I RB 3 $399.00 SYMPOSIUM ACOUSTICS Rollerblock Junior /Set of 4 Also available as Set of 3: I RBJR 3 $219.00 Also available in Tungsten: Set of 3 - I RBJR 3T $219.00 Set of 4 - I RBJR 4T $289.00 92 I RBJR 4 $225.00 SYMPOSIUM ACOUSTICS 9” x 9” Svelte Plus for Mac Mini The direct offspring of the Svelte Shelf, the Svelte Plus improves component performance by draining away and dissipating unwanted mechanical energy from your equipment’s chassis in an acoustically neutral medium. It achieves this by providing excellent overall rigidity, using “constrained layer” damping (its stainless steel top and bottom layers are uniformly bonded to an interlayer between them and a foam layer to eliminate resonances), and incorporating a rigid, double-thickness center foam “heat sink” that converts mechanical energy to heat energy. Its stainless steel top and bottom plates also provide effective EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference) shielding. SYMPOSIUM ACOUSTICS 19” x 14” Svelte Shelf S SVELTE 19NC $399.00 S SVELTE 19WC $439.00 Rollerblock Jr. consists of 6 tops and bottoms and 3 center bearings, to make 3 “Double Stacked” isolator/ coupler units. Each top and bottom is constructed of black anodized, aircraft alloy aluminum, and has a 1.875” diameter (4.76 cm) and 5/8” (1.58 cm) thickness. Heavy Duty Special Edition: Set of 3 - I RBJR 3HDSE $299.00 Set of 4 - I RBJR 4HDSE $399.00 S MM SPLUS $299.00 (Includes 3 Couplers) Simple but effective, the Svelte Shelf sets new standards for an entry level acoustic shelf! At only 5/8” thick, it fits in places other isolation devices can’t go. Simply place it on top of existing rack shelves and surfaces for improved sonics with CD & DVD players, turntables, amps and preamps; it also works on TOP of components. Precision laser-cut, stainless steel sandwich technology improves bass control, dynamics, timbral purity, midrange and treble transients. acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 ACOUSTIC SOUNDS ACCESSORIES You’ve purchased the best turntable and accompanying system that your budget will allow.

The Rhodium-plated versions are a bit more wide-open and vivid-sounding than the Gold-plated ones, which lend a slight but perceivable gentleness to the upper octaves in direct comparison. At the end of the day, these receptacles have an overall system effect more akin to changing to a better preamp or power amplifier than simply installing a new receptacle. With a very robust physical construction and pure copper conducting elements, the GTX series of AC receptacles will facilitate the very best performance from all of the components in any system. acousticsounds.com | 800.716.3553 93 RECORD STORAGE RECORD STORAGE NON-RESEALABLE Very simply, the best outer record sleeve we’ve ever come across.
