Equipment Racks and Speaker Stands

Vicoustic’s flagship Wave Wood panel has been specifically developed to treat acoustic problems without destroying a room’s ambiance, or over-deadening the sound. Its elegant visual appearance makes it highly suitable for use in sophisticated listening spaces such as hi-fi rooms and home cinemas.

​Made from a combination of acoustic foam and wood, Wave Wood’s instantly recognizable design results from unique research based on the acoustic properties of the wood and foam, combined with a series of non-linear sequential cavities that enable the panel to act as both an absorber and diffuser. It is particularly effective in treating medium and high frequencies, adding enhanced intelligibility and clarity to speech and music, both in stereo and surround sound listening environments.

​Cinema Premium panels provide flexible and elegant solutions for sound control across a multitude of applications. Combining modern design with maximum acoustic efficiency, the fabric-covered Cinema Round Premium panel is commonly used to control sound reflections and excess reverberation, helping you maximize the performance of your listening space.

Cinema Round performs mainly on medium and high frequencies. When positioned a few centimetres from the surface of the wall, the panel can also be highly efficient in the treatment of medium frequencies and the improvement of low ones. READ MORE....

The TubeTrap is the first and foremost corner loaded bass trap in the audio industry. It’s low frequency absorption is determined by the diameter of theTubeTrap, the greater the diameter, the lower the roll-off. Unlike any other product available on the market today, Acoustic Sciences has engineered your sound experience to absolute perfection. The result of hundreds of hours of research and development, testing, and decades of real world use, many have tried to copy our product, yet none have succeeded. When only the best will do, sound connoisseurs choose our TubeTrap. Available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, one can fine tune almost any listening situation regardless of size or complexity.

When low frequency sound is injected into a room, the waves reflect back and forth. At certain frequencies, the reflection patterns begin to overlap and lock into a synchronized condition with each other to produce standing waves. When ever this pattern overlaps the speakers we get “room boom”, an over powering emphasis by the room & speaker arrangement to play only a few, very strong bass notes. Nothing can actually get rid of room modes, short ofremoving the room entirely. But adding bass traps will even out the bass response and improve transient attacks and decay. Although every mode has a unique pattern of pressure zones distributed throughout the room, all modes have pressure zones in the tri-corners. ASC is the pioneer of corner loaded bass traps, and the Tube Trap remains the unsurpassed upgrade for all high performance audio acoustic systems. READ MORE....

​​The Adept Response High Resolution Power Conditioner is a cutting edge design providing the best power conditioning possible without limiting dynamics. Since power must respond quickly and completely to the demands of program material we believe it is imperative that power conditioning components present a low impedance power path while providing wide bandwidth noise reduction. Conventional power conditioners simply cannot approach the bandwidth/impedance characteristics of the Adept Response while still offering effective noise filtration and high voltage surge protection. Exclusive Audience technology achieves far greater performance for all audio and video components. READ MORE....

​​AC Power Can Make or Break Your System and the audio you hear from your audio system is essentially the incoming electricity itself, and the typically violent storms riding the AC line and its ground is very detrimental to the performance of your components. Highly resolving audio and video systems can retrieve incredible amounts of detail from your favorite recordings. Unfortunately, they can also reveal problems elsewhere in the power chain, especially when it comes to noise flowing through your valuable components from your AC power mains.

The Furutech Flow 28 & Flux 50 filter is, in every sense of the word, a top-of-the-line high-performance filter that was designed to eliminate radiated AC noise from high quality audio and video systems. What’s innovative about the Furutech Flow 28 & Flux 50 is that it eliminates AC noise without affecting any of the highest frequencies. That means they won’t rob music of the air, dynamic contrasts and 3-D qualities that are reinforced by frequencies normally thought to be outside of the normal range of the human hearing.

Furutech reveals their Power 6 AC Mains Distributor, the ultimate expression of Furutech's Pure Transmission Technology. Furutech engineers each and every step of power and signal transfer no matter how small using the finest materials and technologies available, like their proprietary Formula GC-303 EMI-absorbent material and Two-Stage Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Super a (Alpha) Treatment applied to all metal parts. Luxury Build

The Power 6 is built like a Swiss bank vault, a virtual black hole for EMI and RFI. The substantial, beautifully crafted chassis is precision CNC machined from solid aerospace-grade aluminum alloy that effectively shields against RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Three separate milled compartments house three independently wired duplex receptacles using top quality twisted multi-gauge Teflon shielded high-purity silver-plated Alpha OFC

The hot and neutral conductor bundles from the IEC are loomed into a large, centrally located chamber secured with eight beautifully machined rivets that's filled with Furutech's EMI absorbent Formula GC-303 material. GC-303 absorbs the high frequency noise that develops whenever passing current through wire. READ MORE....​

The Feickert universal protractor is a must have tonearm set up tool. Dr. Feickert has revised their Universal Protractor. Besides making handling easier they have enhanced the functionality as well as accuracy. On this Protractor you can find all three well known major geometries aka Baerwald, Lofgren and Stevenson alignments plus the pivot to spindle measuring tool.

The general geometrical correlation of a tonearm based on a fixed pivot point are well known since the fundamental publications of Baerwald and Lofgren back in the first half of the 20th century. The conclusion of both papers was that such a tracking device must have an angular offset (zenith) with a defined overhang. The offset and the overhang vary with the effective length of the tonearm itself, while tracking the record the stylus matches tangential position in the groove at two points – the inner and outer Null points (linear tracking position). In the early 1960ies another mathematician has calculated a new set of parameters taking into account that on records with classical music very often crescendos occur towards the innermost grooves (Stevenson).

​​As an instrument designed to keep the fi nest of turntables running at exactly the correct speed, there is simply no equal. With a time-base accuracy of 2 parts per million, the Timeline is the very definition of precision. The Timeline flashes its laser at precisely 33 1/3 (or 45) times per minute. If your turntable is rotating at exactly the correct speed, the dot is stretched into a line segment that is projected to the same place on every revolution. If, however, your turntable is too fast, the projected line segment will drift in a clockwise direction. If too slow, into a counter-clockwise direction. Adjust your turntable speed accordingly. The Timeline will also reveal any loading effects of stylus dragging forces. READ MORE....

Kontak is a technologically specific electronics cleaning solution designed originally for military aerospace applications.  For more than fifteen years it has remained unchallenged as the most effective cleaner for high quality audio systems contacts.

Even with the state of the art audio systems electrical connections are inherently imperfect. Two parts of an electrical connector never fit exactly, which allows contamination to develop and cause oxidation.  This in turn will significantly impair the electron flow and signal integrity.  Regular use of Kontak cleaning solution will maximise the performance of your equipment by minimising loss of signal and power in electrical connections.  Kontak leaves absolutely no residue.  READ MORE.....

​To obtain high performance from a modern phonograph system, the tonearm and pickup cartridge must be properly adjusted to within a few thousands of an inch. There are several alignment gauges available to adjust overhang and offset. To adjust cartridge azimuth (Axial Tilt), it has been necessary to use lab quality equipment and a test record. Azimuth may be adjusted using an oscilloscope, AC voltmeter, or computer program. These methods can be expensive and time consuming.

After many years of experience and investigation in the Hi-Fi industry Vibex has become more and more aware of the importance of controlling and dissipating the many forms of energy that a high end system has to contend with. Much of this energy is generated by the equipment itself and the loudspeakers. Others forms of energy that negatively affect the equipment are received through free space and have become increasingly common, these include: radio frequency interference and electro-magnetic induction. These forms of energy are generated in a variety of ways​ mobile phones, electrical appliances, electric motors and industry in general. All these forms of energy don’t just affect the quality of sound and vision, causing distorsion, they also affect the equipment, causing the components to work harder. This causes the equipment to become less reliable and reduces its life-span, drastically in many cases.

After more than fifteen years of research in energy control and components that could neutralize the undesirable effects and after having listened to the majority of the power conditioners, re-generators and so on, Vibex came to the conclusion that nearly all these products produced a series of side effects that were totally unacceptable for use in today’s high end systems. With all this information in hand Vibex started a series of listening tests to determine how energy control and electronic components would be able to remedy the situation. It rapidily became clear that the sound and picture quality of a system was far from optimum and could be improved drastically. READ MORE....
