LWA’s TOP TWEAKS AND ACCESSORIES

Getting the most out of your system doesn’t mean you have spend big – here are our top tweaks and accessories to help get more enjoyment out of your system!

ST2 Antenna

FM is still a very viable source of quality listening. Many people are unaware that FM can offer a marked improvement over Digital Radio (DAB+), which is in turn a huge improvement over AM. The best FM tuners come from Magnum Dynalab in Canada, so it is hardly surprising that they make one of the best FM antennas as well.

The ST-2 concentrates its reception ‘focus’ only on the horizontal plane, providing a stronger signal to the tuner to avoid flutter and fading. It is also less susceptible to multipath interference, often a problem in heavily built-up areas. The ST-2 sells for $169.

AudioQuest DragonFly Red & Black

While the original DragonFly defined the market for micro-DACs, its USB power draw made it compatible with computers only. Music lovers have craved a more portable version — one that could be reliably used with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. Two new options that do just that: DragonFly Black and DragonFly Red.

Convenience and performance are no longer mutually exclusive. With DragonFly Black and Red, any computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone can be used as a true high-fidelity music player, allowing music lovers to enjoy beautiful sound wherever they go, whenever they please. DragonFly Black priced at $160. DragonFly Red priced at $320.

AudioQuest JitterBug

AudioQuest’s JitterBug is a digital music necessity. This dual-function USB and data filter simply has no peer in the market and is amazingly effective.

It can dramatically reduce the noise and ringing afflicting both the data and power lines on USB ports. Simply inserting the versatile JitterBug into the USB input of any computer, laptop, DAC, receiver, streamer, car or smartphone significantly minimises jitter and packet errors, thereby restoring music’s warmth, dimensions, depth, resolution, dynamics and clarity. Everyone should have at least one of these. Priced at $79.
