UK-based cable manufactur­er Signal Projects products are now available for the first time in Australia. They’re being distribute­d by Krispy Audio. Signal Projects’ range of cables includes digital (BNC and USB) cables as well as speaker, power and interconne­ct cables. The Monitor Series from Signal Projects has entry-level points of $645 (digital interconne­ct cable) and $1,625 (speaker cable). The Monitor Series is Signal Projects’ entry-level Series. In all, Signal Projects has seven levels, the top-line one of which is the Golden Sequence Series, in which the cables use hybrid copper/ gold/silver conductors in a mix of multi-core and solid core configurat­ions. ‘ Each of Signal Projects’ cables is constructe­d in a way so combinatio­n of feedback adjustment and passive attenuatio­n to set the overall volume control. According to Rega, this method reduces noise and input overload as it only uses the required gain to amplify the signal. ‘ This form of volume control is normally only found in profession­al broadcast environmen­ts where accurate low noise control of levels is required,’ said Philip Sawyer, of Synergy. ‘ Overall, the Elex-R is a sublime blend of the Brio-R design with the power circuits and advanced phono stage of the Elicit-R. Rega’s engineers have achieved the perfect balance of power, control and dynamics, delivering a performanc­e that always puts the music first.’ Available now, the Rega comes standard with a mini remote control and a three-year warranty. It sells for $1,999 (RRP). as to minimise noise flow downstream, and they offer a unique service where they can in fact customise a cable depending on your components and sonic preference,’ said Krispy Audio’s founder, Cameron Pope. Pope says Krispy Audio has the full range of Signal Projects products available for audition.

There are no tone controls, nor even a headphone socket, with Rega stating that it ‘ avoided superfluou­s gadgets such as tone controls or a headphone socket as they can obstruct the signal path and degrade the produced sound quality.’ The output stage in the Elex-R is almost the same as used in the ElicitR and Brio-R: a low source impedance emitter-follower Class-A driver stage followed by a complement­ary pair of 150-watt Sanken Darlington output transistor­s operating in Class AB mode. The Elex-R uses a For further informatio­n, please contact Synergy Audio Visual on (03) 9459 7474 or visit the website at www.synergyaud­io.com
