Russ Andrews Accessories Marks its 20th Anniversary with the Introduction of a Range of Special Edition Products (25/9/2006)

20 years after Russ Andrews set up his business selling turntable accessories, the company, which now boasts over 250 products, spanning mains cables through to equipment racks, is celebrating this milestone anniversary with the introduction of several special edition products.

Crystal-24 speaker cable represents the culmination of many years joint research by Russ Andrews and Kimber Kable into the positive effects of woven profile speaker cables. Featuring 24 individual cables containing Hyper-pure copper with VariStrand cable stranding and a Teflon composite dielectric, the unique Kimber profile weave ensures the maximum protection against RFI (radio frequency interference). Terminated with either Kimber 4mm banana plugs or UltraPlateTM spade connectors, Crystal-24 is the ultimate Russ Andrews speaker cable.

The Ultra Purifier, platinum edition, is the most effective mains filter yet produced by the company that has pioneered work in this field. Using a superior passive, differential and common-mode filter, the stand-alone unit achieves in excess of 80dB mains noise filtration, making it suitable for the most demanding of high end hi-fi and home theatre systems. A 16A IEC socket is fitted to the unit to allow the user freedom to choose their own Russ Andrews PowerKord mains cable to connect the device to the mains. Once connected, the Ultra Purifier both reduces the noise levels and using the built-in MegaClamp, protects the system against harmful mains spikes, allowing the music and movies to be enjoyed unhindered.

Silver Signature PowerKord is the top of the range mains cable from Russ Andrews. The 24 individual cables arranged in Kimber's unique weave pattern greatly reduce the airborne RFI from the domestic mains supply, to enhance the enjoyment of the most demanding high resolution hi-fi and home theatre systems.

The Hyper-pure silver VariStrand Kimber cables, with a V-Teflon dielectric, produce a very low electrical resistance in the cable, which is sheathed in a flexible braided coating. An inline UK mains plus and WATTGATE 350i Ag IEC plug facilitate an effective and secure connection to the mains outlet and hi-fi component.

Russ Andrews, Managing Director, said: "I started the business 20 years ago and have been working ever since to produce products which minimise the interference from mains noise and RFI, as these pollutants detract greatly from the enjoyment of music and movies. It is therefore fitting that in this, the anniversary year, we are able to launch these three new and important products, which represent the ultimate expression of our passion to make music and movies more enjoyable and entertaining for the consumer."
