INTERCONNECTS<br />
ATLAS NAVIGATOR<br />
Oxygen-free continuous<br />
cast (OCC) cable: each<br />
strand is a single copper<br />
crystal. Two internal<br />
conductors, plus double<br />
shielding. The double shielding is copper mylar plus close-lapped<br />
99.997% pure OCC copper multi-stranded screen providing 100%<br />
RFI protection. This premium “All-Cu” version (shown here) uses<br />
solid copper connectors that are also continuous cast. The copper<br />
is then silver-plated and double-shielded. We use two in our<br />
reference systems.<br />
ORDER: ANA-1 All-Cu, 1m, $405, ANA-2 All-Cu, 2m, $495<br />
ORDER: ANAB-1 All-Cu balanced, single crystal XLR, 1m, $675<br />
ATLAS QUESTOR<br />
This could be the world’s lowest-cost<br />
interconnect with single-crystal copper. It has<br />
the same connectors as the Equator (below),<br />
and we thought it sounded like a much more<br />
expensive cable.<br />
ORDER: AQ-1, 1 m pair Atlas Questor, $140<br />
ORDER: AQ-2, 2 m pair Atlas Questor, $180<br />
ATLAS EQUATOR<br />
Perhaps the best $150<br />
interconnect cable you could<br />
buy. Only it costs just $90. And<br />
yes, that’s in Canadian funds.<br />
Other lengths on order.<br />
ORDER: AE-1, 1 m pair Atlas Equator, $90<br />
ORDER: AE-2, 2 m pair Atlas Equator, $125<br />
ATLAS QUADSTAR<br />
Terrific in our blind test.<br />
With Eichmann Bullet plugs,<br />
or balanced with Neutrik<br />
XLR's. Silver solder included with kit.<br />
ORDER: AQS-1 pair Quadstar kit, 1m $124.95<br />
ORDER: AQS-1A pair Quadstar assembled, 1m $199.95<br />
ORDER: AQS-X pair Quadstar balanced kit, 1m $95.95<br />
ORDER: AQS-XA pair Quadstar balanced, assembled, 1m $169.95<br />
PRISMAL DUAL INTERCONNECT<br />
This Swiss-made cable has especially solid connectors. Teflon<br />
dielectric. oxygen-free copper Toss your “free” interconnects!<br />
ORDER: PD-1, 1 meter pair Prisma Dual Interconnect, $34.95<br />
MAVROS INTERCONNECTS<br />
Truly terrific, a pair of these connects our phono preamp to the<br />
preamp of our Omega system<br />
ORDER: AMI-1, 1 m Mavros interconnect pair, $1195<br />
ORDER: AMI-2, 2 m Mavros interconnect pair, $1895<br />
TWO CABLES INTO ONE JACK<br />
Need to feed two preamps into two<br />
amps? This solid Y-adapter (two<br />
jacks into one phono plug) is gold<br />
over brass, with Teflon dielectric.<br />
ORDER: FYA, one pair Y adapters, $20<br />

SPEAKER CABLES<br />
ATLAS MAVROS CABLES<br />
We’ve adopted them for our Alpha system, which sounds better<br />
than ever before. This is a four-wire monocrystal cable with<br />
porous Teflon dielectric. We are not recommending them with<br />
standard bananas or spaces, but we offer them either with ETI<br />
Bayonet Bananas, at no extra cost, or WBT nextgen..<br />
ORDER: AMBCu-3, 3 m pair, Bayonet bananas, $2150<br />
ORDER: AMBCu-5, 5 m pair, Bayonet bananas, $3850<br />
ORDER: AMSCu-3, 3 m pair, WBT nextgen bananas, $2390<br />
ORDER: AMSCu-5, 5 m pair, WBT nextgen bananas, $4090<br />
ATLAS HYPER SPEAKER CABLES<br />
A big winner in one of UHF’s blind tests of speaker cables is<br />
Hyper 2, an oxygen free stranded wire in Teflon dielectric.. Plus<br />
connectors (we recommend Eichmann Bayonet Bananas, $99.95/<br />
set, two sets needed for AH2, three for biwire).<br />
ORDER: AH2, Hyper 2 cable, $29.95/metre<br />
ORDER: AHB, Hyper Biwire cable, $49.95/metre<br />
ATLAS ICHOR SPEAKER CABLE<br />
Continuous-cast single-crystal cable, ready for biwiring. It costs<br />
just $235 per meter of double cable (a 2 m pair has 4 meters of<br />
wire). We suggest adding the Eichmann Bayonet bananas, $99.95<br />
per set of 4, or Furutech connectors, $70 a set of 4..<br />
SINGLE CRYSTAL JUMPERS<br />
Not biwiring? Dump the free jumpers<br />
that came with your speakers. Atlas<br />
jumpers are made from single-crystal<br />
copper, gold-plated spades.<br />
ORDER: ACJ, four single crystal<br />
jumpers, $99.95<br />
DIGITAL CABLES<br />
ATLAS COMPASS DIGITAL<br />
Excellent performance at an affordable price. Single crystal pure<br />
copper. The 1.5m version sounds way better than a 1m.<br />
ORDER: A<strong>CD</strong>-1.5 digital cable, 1.5m, $160<br />
ATLAS OPUS DIGITAL<br />
We dumped our reference cable for this one! And to be at its very<br />
best, it has to be this length.<br />
ORDER: AOD-1.5 digital cable, 1.5m, $399<br />
TOSLINK OPTICAL DIGITAL<br />
The best we’ve found yet,<br />
though we’re still looking.<br />
Add the mini-TOSLINK<br />
adapter for Airport Express or computers with hybrid jacks.<br />
ORDER: TD-1 TOSLINK cable, 1m length $22.95<br />
ORDER: TMT mini-TOSLINK adapter, $3.95<br />

CONNECTORS<br />
EICHMANN BAYONET BANANAS<br />
