UHF14 POWER
BAR
Most power bars knock
voltage down, and
generate more noise
than a kindergarten
class. The UHF14 doesn’t. It
features a 1.5m 14- gauge shielded
cable, Hubbell hospital grade fourplex, and
Furutech gold-on-copper wall plug. ORDER: UHF14-PB, $239

MORE POWER TO YOU
Better access to
electrical power.
Change your 77-cent
duplex outlets for
these Hubbell hospital
grade outlets. Insert a
plug and it just snaps
in. A tighter internal
connection as well.
The cheapest improvement you can make to your system.
ORDER: AC-DA Hubbell duplex outlet, $23.95
ORDER: AC-D20 20A duplex, red color, $28.95
INSTANT CIRCUIT CHECKER
Plug it into an AC outlet, and the three lights can
indicate a missing ground, incorrect polarity, switched
wires — five problems in all. The first thing we did
after getting ours was phone the electrician.
ORDER: ACA-1, Instant Circuit Checker, $21
HOSPITAL GRADE CONNECTION
When we put a quality
AC plug on our kettle,
boiling time dropped by 90
seconds! One of the best AC
plug we have ever seen is
the Hubbell 8215 hospital
grade plug. It connects to wires under high pressure, and it
should last forever.
ORDER: AC-P2, Hubbell 8215 cord plug, $25.95
Amazingly good at a
much lower price are
these two cord plugs
from Eagle. Male and
female versions.
ORDER: AC-P1 Eagle male cord plug, $5.95

Making your own power cords for your equipment? You’ll need

MOON 300D DAC
It wowed us so much we got it for our reference system. It
has 24/192 resolution on coax and optical, 16/48 on USB. Its
performance astonished us, and we’re not easily astonished. The
full review is in UHF No. 89.
To sweeten the deal, we’re offering bundles on our two Atlas
digital cables, in the favored 1.5 m length. By getting the bundle,
save $150 on an Atlas Opus (our reference, by the way), or save
$60 on our very good Atlas Compass cable.
ORDER: 300D, $1598
ORDER: 300D + Opus digital cable, $1847

$124.95.
ORDER: UHF14F-1.5 (bundled only), $124.95

A MORE AFFORDABLE DAC
As we go to press we had
not yet evaluated
the new Moon
100D, expected to
sell for $699. As
ever, we’ll carry
only products we’d
recomment to our best
friends. We’re optimistic, because the basic conversion circuit is
identical to that of the superb 300D. If we choose to carry it, we
will of course offer in bundles, to help manage your budget. For
confirmation of availability, check our on-line digital page, or
e-mail us.
ORDER: 100D, exact prices to come
CLEAN YOUR PLAYER

Can be used wet or
dry.
ORDER: 2021 Milty CD lens cleaner, $35
