It is 99.9999% pure (six nines). It is built as Litz wire, which means many tiny copper strands, each one coated, twisted together. The coating prevents oxidation and keeps each strand apart from the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside each Litz conductor, the strands grow from small in the middle to bigger on the outside. The size jump follows the Golden Ratio (1 to 1.618). George Cardas earned two patents for this stranding back in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach conductor sits inside a poly-e air tube. Air has the lowest dielectric constant of any practical material, which means it stores almost no electrical charge between the cable's conductors. Cardas uses air-tube construction in their higher-tier cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductors are arranged as a shielded twisted pair, wrapped in carbon-impregnated FEP tape.

That means the cable from a DAC, streamer, or CD player to your preamp or integrated amp. The Parsec is a strong choice for this hop in nicer mid-level systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the XLR Parsec a better cable than the RCA Parsec?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally no. The internals are very similar — same copper, same Kevlar-core geometry, same air-tube dielectric, same Litz construction. The main difference is the connector. XLR can reject more noise on long runs because it carries the signal on three conductors instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy equipment has both RCA and XLR outputs. Which should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the run is over 3 feet between your two components, XLR is generally the better pick — it rejects more noise. For short runs on the same shelf, RCA does just as well. Some gear is also \"true balanced\" only on the XLR side, so XLR may sound better there. Check your manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the shortest cable that reaches your two pieces of gear, with a little slack. Most rack systems do well with a 1-meter pair. Measure the actual path the cable will take and round up to the next length we stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Parsec compare to the Cardas Iridium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iridium uses the same Grade 1 copper but a star-quad geometry without air tubes. The Parsec adds Kevlar-core construction and poly-e air-tube dielectric — design language Cardas uses across the higher-end Clear cables. Both are warm, but the Parsec adds more transparency from the air-tube dielectric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Cardas re-terminate or repair the Parsec later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cardas offers re-termination and repair on their own cables, in their Oregon shop. They can change RCA plugs to XLRs, or cut a long pair into shorter ones. Pricing varies.

Powered speakers are different—the amplifier is built right inside. That means The Nines II are close to a whole stereo system in just two speakers. You plug in your TV, turntable, phone, or computer, and you're ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nines II are the largest and most powerful model in Klipsch's powered speaker family, above The Fives II and The Sevens II. Each speaker uses an 8-inch Jet Cerametallic woofer (the driver that makes the low and middle sounds) paired with a 1-inch titanium tweeter (the driver that makes the high sounds) set inside a Klipsch Tractrix horn. The horn is a shaped opening around the tweeter that aims the sound right at you, which is part of why Klipsch speakers sound so lively and clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics inside were built with Onkyo, a respected name in home theater receivers. Klipsch uses an AVR architecture—the same kind of processing you'd find in an AV receiver—so the speakers can decode surround formats and handle a lot of sources on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it matter? How does it improve your listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big idea here is simplicity without giving up sound quality. You get room-filling Klipsch sound, but you skip the separate amplifier, receiver, and the rack of boxes that usually comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nines II play Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. These are surround sound formats that place sounds around you and even above you, so movies and shows feel more lifelike—even though you only have two speakers. The system uses virtual height channels to create that sense of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also include Dirac Live room correction, with a Standard (Limited Bandwidth) license in the box. Every room changes how speakers sound—hard walls, furniture, and corners can add boomy bass or dead spots. Dirac Live uses the included microphone to measure your room, then it adjusts the sound to fix those problems automatically.

The pair, the included cables, and the remote come in the box. You may want speaker stands (the Klipsch KS-24 is the matching model) and, if you crave deeper bass, a subwoofer.

The Nines II are the largest, with 8-inch woofers for the biggest, most room-filling sound—best for medium-to-large rooms. The Sevens II and Fives II use smaller woofers and suit smaller spaces. Give us a call and we'll help you match the right model to your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dirac Live, and do I have to use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is room correction. It uses the included microphone to measure how your room affects the sound, then adjusts the speakers to fix problem areas automatically. You don't have to use it, but most people find it makes a real improvement.

Some of them do a good job, and some don't do very much. In many cases, the brush rushes towards the middle of the record as the platter turns, running out of sync with the tonearm. This phenomenon is known as skating. For best performance sweeping dust from a record, the cleaning arm should keep pace with the tonearm, staying just ahead as it cleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePro-Ject solves the skating problem with the Sweep it S2 Record Cleaning Arm. Highly efficient neodymium magnets are key. These magnets are used to stabilize the record brush of the Sweep it S2. Sweep it S2 is constructed in collaboration with audio designer Klaus Mick and uses his patented magnet technology. Extensive theoretical and empirical research have been put into the development of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe magnetic attraction between the neodymium magnet based in the top part of the cylinder and the iron-core core counterweight stabilizes the record brush. Additionally, the distance between the neodymium magnet and the iron-core core counterweight is carefully chosen to ensure a specific magnetic stabilization force. And because the aluminum of the brush arm is paramagnetic (i.e., weakly magnetic), it acts like an additional space between the neodymium magnet and the iron core counterweight. The end result is a record cleaning arm that keeps pace with your tonearm and avoids the dreaded skating effect, sweeping dust off your record just ahead of the tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeight Adjustable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSweep it S2 is height adjustable within a range of about 0.4\" in order to align it horizontally with the platter.

Deviations relative to the spindle between 0.6\" to 0.8\" are well compensated by design of the Sweep it S2.

Planar magnetic headphones use an ultra-thin membrane suspended between magnets instead of a traditional cone-and-coil driver. The result is typically faster, more detailed sound with lower distortion—but some planar models, including past HiFiMAN headphones, have been known for a bright, energetic treble that not everyone enjoys for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edition XV changes that. HiFiMAN deliberately tuned this headphone with a warmer, smoother, more relaxed sound signature. It’s the successor to the popular Edition XS, but rather than simply refining the same recipe, HiFiMAN took a different path altogether. The treble is gentler and less fatiguing, the midrange is fuller and more musical, and the bass carries satisfying weight without losing control. According to reviewer Griffin Silver at Headphones.com, the Edition XV represents a significant departure that makes it one of the most compelling options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the Edition XV Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Edition XV is HiFiMAN’s second-generation NEO Supernano Diaphragm—an incredibly thin membrane that’s about 60% thinner than the one used in the Edition XS. A thinner diaphragm means less mass for the magnets to move, which translates to quicker response times and finer detail in your music. You may notice subtle textures in a singer’s voice or the gentle decay of a piano note that thicker drivers tend to gloss over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnets themselves have been redesigned using rare-earth-free permanent magnetic materials. HiFiMAN engineered an optimized structure that achieves sensitivity comparable to traditional rare-earth magnets while being more environmentally sustainable. It’s a forward-thinking approach that doesn’t compromise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort gets an upgrade too. The Gen 2 composite headband is 20–30 grams lighter than the Edition XS headband and features rotatable hinges that help the headphone conform to different head shapes. The large oval earcups provide plenty of room around your ears, and the suspension strap distributes weight more evenly than the XS’s single-band design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGriffin Silver (@Listener), Headphones.com (October 2025):\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver was deeply impressed by the Edition XV’s treble refinement, noting that the headphone’s smoother presentation unseated the Audeze MM-500 as his go-to relaxed planar. He praised its natural timbre and well-rounded tonal balance, calling it the most competitive option under $400 for listeners who prefer a warm-neutral sound.

The entire surface of the diaphragm is driven at once, which typically results in faster response, lower distortion, and more accurate reproduction of complex musical passages. If you’re used to dynamic-driver headphones like the Sennheiser HD 600 series, a planar magnetic can feel like a meaningful step up in clarity and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does “open-back” mean, and is it right for me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen-back headphones have earcups that allow air and sound to pass through freely. The benefit is a wider, more natural-sounding presentation—music feels less like it’s trapped inside your head and more like it’s happening around you. The trade-off is that sound leaks in both directions: people nearby will hear your music, and outside noise will reach your ears. Open-back headphones are ideal for quiet home listening environments. They’re not suitable for commuting, office use, or anywhere you need noise isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a headphone amplifier to drive the Edition XV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edition XV has a low impedance (12 ohms) and moderate sensitivity (92 dB), so it can produce sound from many sources including phones and laptops. However, reviewers consistently note that the headphone improves noticeably with a dedicated headphone amplifier that provides clean power with solid current delivery. A quality desktop amp or DAC\/amp combo in the $100–$300 range will let you hear what the Edition XV is truly capable of.

The XS has a brighter, leaner, more analytical presentation with more treble energy and a wider sense of horizontal space. The Edition XV is warmer, smoother, and more relaxed, with fuller bass and a more musical midrange. Reviewers note that the XV is less fatiguing for long listening sessions. The XV also features an improved headband design that addresses the XS’s comfort issues. If you prioritize detail retrieval and treble sparkle, the XS may be your pick. If you prefer warmth, musicality, and fatigue-free listening, the XV is the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow comfortable is the Edition XV for long listening sessions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost reviewers found the Edition XV comfortable for extended wear. The Gen 2 composite headband with its suspension strap distributes weight better than the Edition XS’s single-band design, and the large oval earcups provide generous room around the ears. At 452 grams, it’s average weight for a full-size planar magnetic headphone. Some reviewers with larger heads noted the headband strap could be slightly longer, and a few mentioned the clamp force is a bit firmer than HiFiMAN’s higher-end models. Overall, comfort is a clear improvement over the Edition XS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace the cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Edition XV uses standard dual 3.5mm TRS connectors at the earcups—no proprietary plugs. The included cable is fully detachable, and aftermarket replacement and upgrade cables are widely available. If you want to use a balanced headphone amplifier, you can purchase a cable with a 4-pin XLR or 4.4mm Pentaconn termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else do I need to complete my setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt minimum, you’ll need a source (phone, computer, or music streamer) and something to drive the headphones. While the Edition XV can run from a phone or laptop headphone jack, you’ll get noticeably better results with a dedicated DAC and headphone amplifier—or an all-in-one DAC\/amp combo. A quality USB DAC\/amp in the $100–$300 range is a great starting point. If you’re not sure where to begin, call us at 800-942-0220. We love helping people build their first headphone setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Edition XV good for all genres of music?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviewers found the Edition XV to be a versatile all-rounder that works well across genres, though its warm, smooth character makes it especially well-suited for jazz, classical, acoustic, vocal, and ambient music. It handles rock and pop with authority too, though listeners who crave aggressive bass slam or bright, sizzling treble energy for electronic music may prefer a different tuning. The Edition XV is about musical enjoyment and long-session comfort rather than in-your-face excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Edition XV compare to the Sennheiser HD 650?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a comparison several reviewers drew. Both headphones share a warm-neutral character that prioritizes musicality and listening comfort. The HD 650 uses a traditional dynamic driver, while the Edition XV uses a planar magnetic driver—which generally offers faster transient response, deeper bass extension, and lower distortion. The Edition XV also has a wider, more open soundstage. Griffin Silver at Headphones.com suggested the Edition XV may be the planar magnetic alternative that HD 650 fans have been waiting for. Both are excellent headphones—if you love the HD 650’s character but want to explore what planar magnetic technology brings to the table, the Edition XV is a natural next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Audio Advisor offer a return policy on headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Edition XV is covered by our standard 60-day money-back guarantee. Take your time to listen, enjoy, and make sure it’s right for you. If it’s not the perfect fit, return it within 60 days for a full refund.

Inside one compact aluminum chassis, NAD has packed a streaming player, a digital-to-analog converter, a preamp, and a power amp. Connect a pair of speakers and you have a complete music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 builds on the original C 700, which NAD launched in 2021. The new version keeps the core amplifier and the BluOS streaming brain that made the first C 700 popular. It then adds a moving-magnet phono stage for turntables, refines the digital circuitry, and opens the door to Dirac Live room correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's wireless streaming platform (NAD and Bluesound share it). It runs in a free app on your phone, tablet, or laptop. You browse music, pick a song, and the C 700 V2 plays it through your speakers — wired or completely wireless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's New in V2 — and Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAD describes the C 700 V2 as a refresh designed to \"polish anything that even remotely looked like a rough edge\" on the original. Three things changed. The digital-to-analog stage was redesigned for wider dynamic range and lower noise. A moving-magnet phono input was added for turntable owners. And Dirac Live room correction became an option through a separately purchased license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same compact aluminum body and 5-inch color display carry over. So does the HybridDigital UcD output stage. If you owned the original C 700, the V2 is the same idea, finished better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it matter? How does it improve your listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreaming-amp combinations have to do a lot. Decode hi-res files, drive speakers cleanly, switch sources, sound musical. The C 700 V2 puts most of the work inside one well-engineered box, so the signal path stays short and the noise floor stays low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline number is 80 watts per channel continuous into both 8 and 4 ohms — driven cleanly to under 0.04% distortion. Short-burst dynamic power reaches 100 W into 8 ohms and 125 W into 4 ohms, which helps the amp stay composed through musical peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital side handles streams up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz PCM with MQA decoding and rendering. The refined digital-to-analog stage in the V2 brings wider dynamic range and accurate imaging across all sources — streaming, optical, coaxial, HDMI eARC, and the new phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's different about how it's built?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridDigital UcD output stage is NAD's pairing of an analog preamp circuit with a Class D power module developed in collaboration with Bruno Putzeys. UcD (Universal Class D) was an early modern Class D topology designed to keep distortion low and behavior predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is high efficiency — the amp runs cool and stays small — combined with low measurable noise. Damping factor is over 90 across the audible range, meaning the C 700 V2 keeps tight control of the speakers it drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono input is moving-magnet only. NAD has designed it with accurate RIAA equalization (the standard EQ curve every vinyl record is cut to) so an MM cartridge plugs straight in. Moving-coil cartridges need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHDMI eARC connects the C 700 V2 to a compatible TV with a single cable. The TV remote can then control volume, so TV listening doesn't require a separate remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want a complete music system in one box — just add speakers and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You stream music as your main source — Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple AirPlay, internet radio, or files on a NAS or USB drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You own a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge and want to plug it straight in without buying an outboard phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want clean TV audio through your stereo speakers via a single HDMI eARC cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You're building a multi-room BluOS system — or might want to later — and want one BluOS node to play, control, and coordinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You care about room correction and would like the option to add Dirac Live down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect to your system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog: one moving-magnet phono input plus a stereo line-level RCA input.

The C 700 V2 has the streaming player, DAC, preamp, and power amp built in. If you have a turntable, plug it into the MM phono input. If you have a TV, plug it into the HDMI eARC port. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the C 700 V2 a good match for my speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatching depends on power output, speaker sensitivity, and impedance — and the right answer depends on your specific speakers and room. The C 700 V2's 80 W continuous (with strong dynamic headroom) suits a wide range of bookshelf and compact floorstanders. Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the differences between Class A, Class A\/B, and Class D amplifiers? Which one is this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 uses HybridDigital UcD — a Class D output stage paired with NAD's analog preamp circuitry. Class A runs the output transistors fully on (clean, but hot and inefficient). Class A\/B blends both modes — the traditional analog approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass D switches the output transistors rapidly. The benefit is high efficiency and low heat. NAD's UcD design (developed with Bruno Putzeys) is a refined modern Class D used across NAD's HybridDigital amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is BluOS, exactly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's streaming platform (shared with Bluesound). It's a free Controller app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The app browses your library and 20+ streaming services, plays music to any BluOS device on your network, groups rooms together, and supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz with MQA decoding. The C 700 V2 has BluOS built in — no outboard streamer needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dirac Live, and how does it work with the C 700 V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is room correction software. It uses a calibrated microphone to measure how your room shapes the sound from your speakers, then applies a correction profile to flatten the response. The C 700 V2 is Dirac Live Ready — buy a Dirac license (from Dirac) and a calibrated USB microphone, and you can store up to five profiles on the amp. Without the license, the C 700 V2 still works as a complete streaming amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this have a built-in phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — new for the V2. The C 700 V2 has a moving-magnet (MM) phono input. That covers most entry-level and mid-range turntables. If your cartridge is moving-coil (MC), you'll need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to the next NAD model up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 is a much larger integrated amplifier with twice the power, dual MDC2 slots for future expansion, and more analog\/digital inputs. The C 700 V2 trades that for a one-box streaming experience in a much smaller chassis. If you want the streaming brain built in and the small footprint, this is the model. If you want more power and modular expansion, look at the C 399. Call us and we'll help you choose the right tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for home theater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 connects to a TV via HDMI eARC for clean two-channel TV sound. It also supports BluOS-enabled surround sound configurations — adding compatible BluOS speakers as wireless rears, plus a sub, lets you build up to a 4.1-channel system with Dolby Digital decoding.

AC coming into your home carries noise from motors, LED drivers, switching power supplies, wireless routers, HVAC systems, appliance compressors, and every neighbor sharing your utility transformer. That noise rides the power line into your gear, where it masks low-level detail, softens transients, and adds a faint haze to the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman has built AC-power products for professional audio, video, and broadcast use since 1974. The \u003cstrong\u003eElite\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e series you're looking at are Furman's home-theater and audiophile lines — the same engineering discipline found in studios and live-sound rigs, packaged for a rack at home. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the IT-Reference 20i unique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Furman's \u003cstrong\u003eflagship\u003c\/strong\u003e home-theater and audiophile power conditioner.

In practice, every non-amplifier component in your system is fed by the isolation transformer — not just your video gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80+ amps of peak PFT charge, 9 amps RMS reserve.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Power Factor Technology bank on the 20i carries roughly twice the RMS reserve and 45% more peak charge current than the PFT bank on the 15i or Elite-20 PFi. The four amplifier outlets can feed a pair of mono power amps and a large powered subwoofer without compressing dynamics, because the PFT reservoir fills in the instantaneous current demand faster than the wall can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiFT filtering bandwidth widens again on the 20i — differential-mode attenuation starts as low as 1 kHz, with greater than 95 dB common-mode rejection on the balanced outlets. This is the cleanest AC Furman builds for a home system. SMP non-sacrificial surge protection, EVS over\/under voltage shutdown, and zero-ground-contamination circuitry all carry forward from the rest of the line — the IT-Reference 20i is Furman's complete Powell-era technology stack, scaled up to reference-system current requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical notes before you buy. First, the IT-Reference 20i requires a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated 20-amp wall circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e with a NEMA 5-20R outlet. If your audio room is still on a 15A run, you'll want an electrician to pull a dedicated 20A line before the Furman arrives. Second, at 83 pounds and 3U tall, this is not a conditioner you move often. Plan for an equipment rack or a heavy-duty shelf that can take the weight and leave airflow clearance. Backed by Furman's 5-year Reference-series warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE POWELL LINEAGE ============ --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne footnote worth mentioning: the engineer who developed Furman's SMP, LiFT, and Power Factor Technology circuits is Garth Powell. Powell spent years refining Furman's AC designs before moving on to lead power-product engineering at AudioQuest, where his work on the Niagara line carries forward many of the same design principles you see in the Elite and Reference conditioners. When you buy a Furman from this era, you're buying into that engineering lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE TECHNOLOGY INSIDE ============ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe technology inside the IT-Reference 20i\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeries Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) — non-sacrificial surge protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost power strips and surge protectors rely on MOVs (metal-oxide varistors) that physically sacrifice themselves when they absorb a large spike. After a big surge, you don't know the protection is gone until your next spike takes your gear with it. \u003cstrong\u003eFurman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial\u003c\/strong\u003e — it clamps surges without destroying itself, which means one unit keeps protecting after hit after hit. SMP also avoids sending voltage to circuit ground, a common MOV side effect that can actively damage digital components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLinear Filtering Technology (LiFT) with flagship bandwidth — noise reduction without choking dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman's \u003cstrong\u003eLiFT\u003c\/strong\u003e circuit is a linear low-pass filter engineered to attenuate AC line noise smoothly across a wide frequency band. On the IT-Reference 20i, the LiFT implementation reaches its widest bandwidth in the Furman line — transverse-mode attenuation starts as low as 1 kHz, with common-mode rejection exceeding 95 dB across the 10 Hz to 50 kHz range on the balanced outlets. This is the cleanest AC Furman builds for a home system, and it's delivered without the current-limiting that some \"filtered\" outlets impose on power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) — protection from sustained over- and under-voltage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEVS\u003c\/strong\u003e monitors the incoming line and cuts power to everything downstream if the voltage drifts outside a safe window — too low (below about 85V) or too high (above about 140V). Brownouts and sustained overvoltage events cause more damage to audio gear than most surges do, and EVS is specifically designed to stop them before your amplifier's power supply ever sees them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZero ground contamination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder surge-protection designs shunt surge energy to circuit ground, which sounds reasonable until you realize that your preamp, DAC, and digital sources all reference signal to that same ground. \"Contaminated\" ground shows up as hum, noise, and digital hash in the listening chair. Furman's design deliberately avoids this — spikes are clamped without dumping anything to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Factor Technology (PFT) — current reservoir for amplifier peaks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass A\/B amplifiers draw current in huge momentary spikes on musical transients — a kick drum, a cymbal crash, a bass note. If the wall and the conditioner can't deliver that current fast enough, the amp's power supply sags, dynamics compress, and bass loses punch. \u003cstrong\u003ePower Factor Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e places a large energy reservoir upstream of the amplifier outlets that provides surplus instantaneous current on demand, while simultaneously lowering the AC input impedance seen by the amp. The amplifier \"sees\" a much stiffer power source than your wall provides on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscrete Symmetrical Power with Dual-Screen Isolation Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the feature that separates the Reference series from everything below it. A \u003cstrong\u003e1:1 isolation transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between your wall outlet and your audio system, magnetically transferring AC from primary to secondary with no direct electrical connection. A precisely placed center tap on the secondary winding produces \u003cstrong\u003esymmetrical (balanced) AC\u003c\/strong\u003e: two 60V legs, 180° out of phase, referenced to ground. Noise that appears equally on both legs — the dominant form of AC line noise in most homes — is cancelled by common-mode rejection inside the transformer and at each component's power supply. Furman's dual-screen transformer design extends this cancellation across a wider bandwidth than single-screen isolation transformers can reach, and the balanced secondary positively breaks noise-inducing ground loops between interconnected components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ OUTLETS \u0026 FEATURES ============ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOutlets and features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutlet configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Discrete Symmetrically Balanced outlets, fed by the 1:1 dual-screen isolation transformer — intended for video components, front-end sources, and processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Power Factor Technology amplifier outlets with 9 amps RMS reserve and over 80 amps peak charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal 12 outlets across isolated banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a dedicated 20-amp wall circuit (NEMA 5-20R outlet) and matching 20A power cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFront-panel controls and displays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower switch only — Reference-series front panel is deliberately minimal.

Modern AC power is noisier than it has ever been, and that noise ends up in your listening chair as reduced detail and a flatter soundstage. The longer answer is in the \"Why Furman\" section above — the engineering case for AC conditioning is straightforward once you understand what's riding on the line. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a conditioner limit the current my amplifier needs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, if the conditioner is badly designed. Cheap \"filtered\" power strips use series chokes that do restrict current — which is why audiophiles rightly worry about plugging big amps into them. Furman's LiFT filter is engineered specifically to avoid that trade-off, and the PFi and IT-Reference models go further by adding a dedicated high-current amplifier bank with Power Factor Technology that actively supplies surplus current on musical peaks. In practice, a well-designed Furman improves amp dynamics rather than limiting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Power Factor Technology actually doing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour power amplifier draws current in large instantaneous bursts on musical transients — not a steady draw. Wall wiring has real impedance, and when the amp calls for 30+ amps in a millisecond, the wall simply can't deliver that fast. Power Factor Technology places a large energy reservoir upstream of the amplifier outlets, sized specifically to fill in those instantaneous peaks. The amp \"sees\" a far stiffer power source than the wall provides on its own. The audible result is tighter bass, faster transients, and less dynamic compression on loud passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy an isolation transformer, instead of just a filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA filter attenuates noise but still leaves your gear electrically connected to the wall. An isolation transformer \u003cem\u003ephysically\u003c\/em\u003e separates the input from the output — AC is induced magnetically from the primary winding to the secondary, so your audio system never sees the wall directly. Common-mode noise on the incoming line is largely rejected before it reaches a single component, and ground-borne noise shared with the rest of your house is broken. It's the most aggressive form of AC cleanup in a home system, and it is the reason the IT-Reference series exists as a separate line above the Elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens to the Furman after a big surge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdinary surge protectors sacrifice their MOVs on a major hit — after one significant event, the protection is used up even though the unit looks fine and the power LED still glows. Furman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial; it clamps surges without destroying itself and keeps protecting afterward. Multiple large hits do not void the protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich outlets should I use for what?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an IT-Reference conditioner, the Discrete Symmetrically Balanced outlets are tuned for sensitive video and source components — plug displays, projectors, DACs, preamps, and processors there. The Power Factor Technology outlets are specifically for your amplifier(s) and powered subwoofer(s); those are the components that demand high instantaneous current. On the 15i model, the middle linearly filtered bank is fine for anything that doesn't fall into the above two categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power cord should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour wall-to-conditioner power cord is the only one that sees raw, unconditioned mains — so this is where a better cable has the biggest audible impact. A high-quality shielded cord rated for the conditioner's input current (15A or 20A depending on model) is a sensible pairing. The captive cord on the Furman is fine out of the box, but aftermarket cords from AudioQuest, Shunyata, or similar can make a meaningful difference once the conditioner is broken in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman backs the Reference series with a 5-year limited warranty — two years longer than the Elite line, reflecting the heavier build and the flagship status of these models.

The Detroit-based company earned its reputation testing and analyzing cables for leading cable manufacturers whose names you'd recognize in a flash.

Mark Markel and Qinwei Sun, the chief engineers at Analysis Plus, determined that round cable used in conventional speaker cable designs has high levels of current bunching, skin effect phenomenon, and other frequency characteristics that degrade signal quality. Rectangular conductors were a little better, but these suffered high electric field values caused by sharp corners which can also cut into and injure the dielectric when the cable is flexed. After many computer simulations, Analysis Plus found that a hollow oval cable was the best design due to its minimal change in resistance with frequency, plus other benefits. The company chose a flexible, braided conductor rather than the conventional solid conductor, which is susceptible to kinks and deformations with resulting signal degradation. A unique woven pattern places every wire statistically as close to the return current as every other wire for evenly distributed high-current density and superior sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOval Twelve speaker cable from Analysis Plus is a 12-gauge cable constructed using the company's exclusive hollow oval cross-section conductor array.

The V3i handles processing, room correction, video switching, and amplification — just connect sources to HDMI and speakers to the binding posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the T 758 V3 and the V3i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V3i is a meaningful refresh of the V3 — adding Apple AirPlay 2 integration, Siri voice control, and updated Dirac Live software. The V3i also ships with the VM 130i video MDC module (replacing the earlier VM 130). HybridDigital amplification, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 4K UHD passthrough carry over from the V3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the T 758 V3i and the T 778?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T 778 is the flagship — 9 channels of HybridDigital, 140W stereo, a large touchscreen front panel, more HDMI inputs, and Dirac Live Limited Bandwidth with Full Bandwidth upgrade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T 758 V3i is the step-down — 7 channels, no touchscreen, 3 HDMI inputs, but the same Dirac Live, BluOS, MDC, and HybridDigital amplification in a more compact package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this have BluOS streaming built in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — BluOS wireless streaming is included via the supplied upgrade kit. BluOS is NAD and Bluesound's hi-res streaming platform. The free BluOS Controller app (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) handles everything. Native support for Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay 2, and Roon Ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this support Dirac Live room correction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Dirac Live Room Correction is included with a calibration microphone. Dirac is one of the most effective room-correction systems on the market. Advanced users can upgrade to the full-featured Dirac Live version with custom target curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The V3i supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround formats, plus Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The 7-channel amplification handles 5.1.2 natively; 7.1.4 with external amplification through the multichannel pre-outs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it support HDMI 2.1, 4K\/120, or 8K?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The T 758 V3i uses HDMI 2.0 — supporting 4K UHD passthrough at up to 4K\/60p with HDR and 4:4:4 color. HDMI 2.0 does not support 4K\/120 Hz or 8K, both of which require HDMI 2.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for two-channel music as well as movies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. NAD designed the T 758 V3i to take music seriously — the \"music first\" philosophy is central to the design. Stereo power is 110 W into 8 Ω, with built-in BluOS streaming, AirPlay 2, and the same Dirac Live room correction the surround channels use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it ready for custom installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. RS-232 serial, 12V triggers, and a ZR 7 Second Zone remote are included. Independent source and volume controls for Zone 2. Five Custom A\/V Presets let you save tailored configurations.

Unfortunately, acoustic laws dictate that a transducer's design depends very heavily on the associated load type and inner volume of the headphones. Stellia therefore integrates a new generation of exclusive electrodynamic speaker drivers, capable of working at low acoustic load while offering an extremely extensive frequency response (5Hz – 40kHz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe new 110-micron NBR surround offers low compliance and a geometry that is developed entirely in relation to its inner volume. The elongation of the moving part is thereby preserved and ensures exceptional dynamics for closed-back headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCutting-Edge Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSimultaneously, the frameless 100% copper voice coil (exclusive to Focal) offers an extremely reduced mass which, combined with its magnetic coupling to the motor, is able to reproduce the tiniest nuances with great precision, whether bass articulation or the highest frequency details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe crowning glory of these exceptional speaker drivers is the 'M'-shaped pure Beryllium dome. Focal's signature innovation, this cutting-edge technology offers three major benefits. Its very low mass (seven times lighter than titanium of identical rigidity) enables an extraordinary acceleration factor to be obtained, ensuring unfailing adherence to the original audio signal. Its rigidity ensures both impressive elongation and a high sound level, while preventing distortion of the dome. Finally, the damping level provided by the Beryllium lends it a flawless neutrality, for voices and trebles of astonishing realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Purest Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eLoading a speaker driver into a small inner volume makes it highly sensitive to its environment. The Stellia's full-range speaker driver therefore includes a vent to control the balance between the bass and the midrange. A second vent, located at the back of the ear cup, picks up the rear wave coming from the center of the motor to avoid any compression and extend the frequency response of the speaker driver. How? By ensuring the connection between the center of the motor and the outer part of the ear cup located beneath the logo. The speaker driver's response in the bass-reflex acoustic loudspeaker is thus extended to the lowest frequencies while providing remarkable linearity and bass articulation, all without any dynamic compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAs for the higher frequencies, these are absorbed through an EVA foam pad inside the ear cup, behind the speaker driver. Finally, the presence of acoustic diffusers inside this ear cup achieves two objectives: they break up standing waves by uniformly diffusing residual energy throughout the space. The diffusers are also an additional material, making the \"cabinetry\" even more rigid and, as a result, inert. As such, only the speaker driver generates the sound reproduction, without interfering, adding or removing information from the sound signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Earpads, or the Acoustic Treatment of the Room\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe ideal acoustics for a listening space, beyond its dimensions, lies in its reverberation time controlled by the quantity of its absorbent materials (acoustic foam, etc.). The Stellia earpads are a perfect illustration of this: 50% of their height is designed to diffuse sound through a non-perforated full-grain leather; 50% absorbs the audio signal through an acoustic cloth which covers the memory foam. This solution also provides a linear frequency range, between 1 and 10kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eComfort and Elegance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eStellia uses the headband and yoke mechanical features originally developed for the Utopia headphones.

Each component has been developed with optimal acoustics in mind, without compromising on style. The two cognac and mocha finishes truly showcase each element and are testament to the meticulous attention paid to each and every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEqually Impressive Accessories\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor high-end headphones, a high-end pack. Stellia is presented in a cognac and mocha faux-leather case. A storage case houses two high-quality cables with the same materials and finishes. The first 3-metre cable is ideal for use at home on a high-end amplifier, thanks to its symmetrical 4-pin XLR connector. The second is designed to be portable: measuring 3-3\/8 feet (1.2m) with a 1\/8\" (3.5mm) stereo jack, it is the perfect solution for connecting Stellia to a portable audiophile player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eStellia's voice coil offers extremely low impedance at 35 Ohms, making the headphones very easy to drive through the output of a mobile audio source.

For that we need a little background. For nearly fifty years, all turntables came with a dedicated cable running straight from the tonearm base to the phono stage. In the last ten years, however, more and more popular selling turntables – such as the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, for example – have been designed with RCA outputs on the back of the turntable. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis welcome design change allows users to choose whichever audio interconnect cable they wanted, but the benefits come with a big problem. For best sound, there should be a separate ground wire running from the turntable back to the preamp. But 99.99% of the quality audio cables on the market lack this necessary grounding wire. Several companies introduced interconnects with a separate ground wire, but these grounding cables were not integrated into the cable. Instead, they were fixed outside of the cable, resulting in a less than idea grounding solution. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003ch4\u003eGrounds for a Superior Ground\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePangea Audio tasked veteran cable designer Jay Victor with creating a special cable that incorporated the turntable grounding wire into the interconnect cable’s shield layer. Jay accepted the challenge, but he soon discovered why no manufacturer had accomplished this before. It proved extremely difficult to incorporate the grounding wire into the cable and still have access to it on both ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAfter a year of trial and error, Jay’s team finally produced a prototype that seemed to meet all of Jay’s strict requirements. Jay sent out a group of samples to a close-knit group of audiophiles around the world. Everyone loved the sound of the prototypes – expect for one individual who detected a faint hum when the cable was placed in close proximity to a group of inexpensive wall-wart power supplies powering his system. It turns out there were more than five noisy power supplies in total, so this was an unusual situation. But, no matter.

The one-piece design resists vibration and eliminates the extra break in the signal caused by a detachable headshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening and retightening two screws, allowing for use of your preferred turntable mat and \/ or for any phono cartridge that strikes your fancy. Experimenting with VTA and azimuth settings is recommended when it comes to fine-tuning cartridge positioning to optimize the sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe tonearm is an excellent fit for modern high-performance cartridges like the included Pick it PRO B. The TPE-damped counterweight reduces arm \/ cartridge resonance by as much as 50%, further illustrating how X1 B is designed for anyone who prioritizes the sound of their vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIncludes Pro-Ject Pick it PRO B Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThere's no need to buy or install a phono cartridge with this version of the X1 B. Included is Pro-Ject's Pick it PRO B moving magnet phono cartridge, and it comes to you pre-installed and aligned by the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis is an excellent cartridge for the X1 B. Exceptionally lively and robust, it offers high-fidelity playback that is very detailed with low distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuiet Motor and Stable Speed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe X1 B's motor is ultra-quiet. To further enhance its performance, Pro-Ject designed a suspension for additional isolation. This allows the motor to run stably and isolates it from outside influences. Vibration is damped and eliminated, rather than being transferred to the chassis, platter, or cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision-tuned TPE belt. In this way, the motor chassis itself is decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance. It is free-floating and horizontally level. The playback speeds are electronically controlled by a sophisticated DC \/ AC generator that guarantees the most accurate and stable rotation. Change between speeds easily with the push of a button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith the supplied flat belt you can switch between 33-1\/3 rpm and 45 rpm. With the included round belt, you can toggle between 45 rpm and 78 rpm. Remember that 78 rpm discs require a 78-specific stylus that has a larger profile than conventional styli for 33-1\/3 rpm and 45 rpm, such as Sumiko's RS 78 stylus (optional, sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMassive Chassis, Perfect Platform\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eStructurally, the X1 B is supported by a large and heavy MDF chassis that reduces unwanted resonance to a nearly imperceptible level. Due to its mass, X1 B enables vinyl reproduction to be more detailed and precise. The plinth stands on height-adjustable, TPE-damped aluminum feet for precise leveling and optimal isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe X1 B's MDF plinth is coated with eight layers of paint and polished by hand to achieve a beautiful finish. The new X1 B is entirely handmade in Europe using only premium materials that meet the highest standards in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMini XLR and RCA Outputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe X1 B offers both an RCA phono output and a 5-pin mini XLR output, giving you great flexibility when pairing it with a quality cable.
