GIGAWATT, considered the market leader releases New model top-of-line PowerMaster power conditioner at MHES

Here are the key features of PowerMaster:
-New design, excellent and durable materials and components highest precision CNC machining.
-Ultra rigid chassis, made of milled aluminium plates – great stability and EMI/RFI Shielding
-Front window made of 9H scratch resistant Ceramic Glass.
-Internal antivibration platform sustained by shock absorbers – extremal isolation of mechanical vibration and resonance for filtering electronic elements.
-Main PCB - ultra durable, 4OZ Heavy-Copper with extremal cross-section thick copper layers – a powerful conducting and minimising conduction losses
-New circuit architecture - ensures stable flow and handling of high currents of 100A continuously! (up to 500A at peak)
-New distribution bars with extremal cross-section 85QMM
-Power compensation batteries with Power Factor Correction Function
-Ground noise filtering system - eliminating interference from earthing
-Multipoint PCB terminals – ultra lower electrical resistance (less than 200 μOhm), very high ampacity for continuous and peak currents (up to 300A!) and extraordinarily strong mechanical connection between terminal and PCB
-Larger non-magnetic, screws for connectors, allowing a tightening torque of 2.5Nm - reliable, strong electrical internal connection.
-New, precise TRUE-RMS voltmeter (measurement accuracy

KARAN ACOUSTIC Master Collection - PHONOa
Price @ RRP NZ$55,995

The latest in the revised pinnacle-product line from electronics experts Karan Acoustics – is the synthesis and expression of Milan Karan’s 30 years as an audio electronics designer.

This is the ideal combination of expertise and modernity; producing products that build upon decades of painstaking testing, but produce sound quality that would be virtually impossible at even the turn of the century, thanks to improved circuit design tools and infinitely improved componentry.

The two-box PHONOa builds on the strengths of previous Karan phono stages, with refinements in every aspect of product design, including new circuit board designs made with new levels of isolation and grounding, sophisticated casework and even special PCB stand-offs and Critical Mass Systems feet to keep resonance to new low levels.

In our test, Alan Sircom felt that “It’s almost surprising how good the Karan Master Collection PHONOa sounds, or – perhaps more accurately – how good your records and your cartridge sound when played through the Master Collection PHONOa.” And said that, “This is like direct-injecting vinyl into your ears, and it’s a captivating experience.” Alan also noted that, “Images are precise, stable and perfectly dimensioned. Dynamic range is in the ‘jump out of your seat’ level when called upon, but subtle and full of texture.” He concluded by declaring the PHONOa to be, “tonally perfect, dynamically unparalleled and producing a soundstage that is only constrained by the record before it and the system afterwards. This is how music should sound through the very best of the best.”

This is like direct-injecting vinyl into your ears, and it’s a captivating{experience.
