CCA cables
The conductor is pure solid 0.8 mm diameter silver with a crystal length of more than 200 metres. The custom RCA plugs are made from pure copper, plated only with silver and gold. A proprietary configuration, low impedance earth return and 100% magnetic and electric shielding enables the total unfurling of a four-dimensional sound stage. Definitive, they surpass any balanced cable. Well suited to long runs.
CCB cables
The conductor is pure solid silver of 0.8 mm diameter with a crystal length of more than 200 metres. The custom RCA plug sare made of pure copper which are plated in only in silver and gold. A conventional realisation, 100% magnetically and electrically shielded. These enable a smooth, low-noise, transparent and unconstricted presentation.
CCD cables
A 75 ohm coaxial cable, but that's were the conventionality ends. Internally terminated and double magnetic shielding ensures fatigue-free sound and excellent, stable imaging.
Powerbox
Designed to provide dedicated audiophile-quality AC power to components. By using an individual conditioner for each piece of equipment, noise generated by other components as well as mains-borne interference is removed. It is particularly beneficial to separate the analogue from digital components.
Broadband (minimised resonance) filtering and multiple absorption techniques makes the Powerbox effective from 10KHz to day-light with minimal downside.
The Powerbox delivers a total system transformation: increased sound-stage size, openness, textural realism and inter-transient silence. The Powerbox all but eliminates the synthesized character of transistor and/or digital components.
Modular Amplifier System (MAS)
This flexible design enables a single Power Supply Module (PSM) to support up to five Amplifier Modules (AMs) providing individual, versatile and upgradable set-ups for home theatre and audiophile systems.
Modularization permits optimum placement. For instance, AMs can be placed at the speaker terminals, dispensing with speaker cables (applause, applause). Alternatively it permits ease of placement within equipment cabinets to ensure cool running.
In addition, a PSM can be used to supply each individual AM. The 100,000 uF power supply coupled to the 16 output device 100W amplifier can drive even the most demanding speakers.
The Cawsey MAS incorporates solid state switching (so there are no moving parts to degrade or chatter and control turn-on), balanced circuitry to a bridged output (to minimise common-mode, mains and earth-reference interference), capacitor-free compensation and feedback (for precision, high speed and speaker damping), JFET / RET electron devices and high quality non-inductive components. Modularisation also has a benefit for grounding: an earth connected at the PSM chassis (for safety) is independent of the AM, which can then have a clean earth from the pre-amp/source (via the signal interconnects).
The modules are attractively packaged in compact satellite-finish steel cases.
Cawsey Preamplifier Module
Modular internal options enable this preamplifier to match the Cawsey MAS or any other power amplifier.
Dedicated MC and MM phono, cross-overs (24 dB Linkwitz-Riley per JFET buffered passive 6 dB stages) can precede the solid-state input switching and volume control. The tape output is buffered (by an op-amp). These are followed by low-gain line stages (with optimised LP time constants realised by multiplying small, more ideal, capacitors by feedback).
Very fast JFETs are employed (exclusively) in the discrete audio circuitry which is assembled (per RF techniques) by hand.
A micro-processor controls the input selection, volume and balance. It accepts instructions from the remote or the front panel control. An output is supplied for programmable remote controls. The computer goes to sleep a short while after instruction to prevent clock-noise contaminating the audio. Whilst the processor is on, the front panel LEDs indicate the input/tape monitor selection, volume, balance and mute status.
The back panel has a large terminal intended to be the entire systemÕs (central) ground point, enabling a simple connection to a dedicated earth (for optimum noise reduction).
RCA socket options include fitting pure copper/PTFE types to optimally match Cawsey Cable plugs. The preamplifier is attractively packaged in satellite-finished steel.
