Wait, Brian! You're talking about liquid material around the conductors, right? No.
Then you're talking about liquid inside the jacket for extra damping and shielding, right? No.
You're not talking about LIQUID METAL, are you? Like a LIQUID metal is actually carrying the audio signal? YES!
The
conductors are a proprietary alloy of lab-grade Gallium, Indium, and Tin inside of tubes which are
sealed and attached in proprietary fashion to RCA jacks, or XLRs or spade lugs
for use in these magnificent sounding cables! The stuff's ACTUALLY
LIQUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURES!
Two GREAT points to know...
First: THESE GUYS NOW WANT ME TO BE THEIR INTERNATIONAL POINT OF CONTACT!!! I'm looking for dealers out there so I don't have any conflict of interests!
Second: I've JUST RECEIVED all of the latest generation of products -- now VERY favorably reviewed by Srajan Ebaen himself from 6Moons.com -- THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!
These things have all of the speed, agility, and soundstaging of large-conductor cables, and all of the bass weight, dynamic range (small AND large!), and SLAM of large conductor cables....seemingly defying the laws of physics...What they're doing is making use of physics never applied to audio because no one's ever used LIQUID metal before. AMAZING sound. Check them out! Our distributor in Hong Kong says they're the most REAL sounding products he's ever heard. I am THRILLED to bring them to you!
Are they inexpensive? Only relative to the competition....$2500/m pr of RCAs, and $3500/m pr. of XLRs. Speaker cable is a bit out there at $15K/8' pr, but again, that's only expensive until you hear what they SOUND LIKE. Check these things out when you have a chance!

 The wonderful folks who distribute Quad Electrostatics have been kind enough to send us a pair of Reference Series 2805s to show around!!!!
If you're serious about owning electrostatics and find hybrids just sound like two different types of speakers failing to play well together, then it's time to try some Quads. They're wider than those "other" electrostats because they're NOT hybrids. They're a ONE-WAY loudspeaker...just like the microphone that records the music you enjoy. They won't shake the ground but they're reproduce a tympani crash at the symphony just like you were really there...filling the hall effortlessly but not artifically thumping you in the chest or rattling your teeth. Get the idea? THAT is why Quad 2805s and their big brothers, the 2905s keep winning awards all over the world. They're just GREAT loudspeakers.
Stop in for a listen!

ProAc Tritowers are here! |

These are ProAcs? The new Tritowers utilize a midrange and woofers derived from the legendary Response 1SC, and an all-new tweeter, all packaged in a slim, trim, stylish speaker everyone's loving! The only thing the same in this baby is the SOUND. It's still CLASSIC PROAC. Totally neutral.
Do we sell lots of ProAcs here? Not really. Muscians "get it" INSTANTLY, but most folks don't "get it." ProAcs provide a sound only a musician can fully appreciate....or an ex-musician, or engineers, or ex-engineers....or folks who actually listen to live, unamplified acoustic music on a sufficiently regular basis to know what REAL sounds like in the first place.
If you're one of THOSE guys, come in and ask to listen to the Tritowers. You'll be glad you did!

Review: Walker Audio Talisman |

Here's a picture of Lloyd Walker's
latest
"too absurd to be true but it most certainly transforms your system"
tweak, THE TALISMAN....comes complete with silly graphics on it, making
it even more of a joke to show to clients and friends....BUT THIS THING
REALLY WORKS! The Talisman really is an effective magic wand for your
CDs and LPs!
I have shown this thing
to everyone from "friends of ours who could care less, but sit there
because we ask 'em to," to the tweakiest of the tweaks....EVERYONE WHO
LETS US SHOW THE TALISMAN TO THEM HAS HEARD THE IMPROVEMENT IT MAKES ON
BOTH CDs AND LPs!
Just get one, OK!?!?!?! If you come into the shop and get the demo, you'll be $200. lighter, but FAR more ready to enjoy your audio system!
