Today’s accessories are more important than ever, from smart remotes to record cleaners. Making sure that you have all the right pieces in your system is what can make or break everything. Not only can your audio or video system sound better the right accessories can make it look better, video performance can be improved and the overall visual aesthetic of your components can look better.
Here at Sound World of Appleton we strongly believe that cabling in a system is key to making your audio or video system perform to its fullest potential. Normally speaker cable, power cables, interconnects either balanced XLR’s or single ended RCA style get over looked and get “short changed” in the scheme of a system. If you take a small percentage of your budget say 5-10% this will give you the approximate amount that should be dedicated to getting the right level of performance out of your cables.
Every cable in your equation will act like a signal beacon and has the chance to interfere with the signal that is being passed down it. Cable theory for the most part is do no harm, cables are not there to improve sound but to not make the signal path is as clean as possible not changing from place to place. Noise from adjacent power lines or from high current amplifiers can get injected back into a speaker line or interconnect causing distortion, with Great companies like AudioQuest, Analysis Plus and Acoustic Zen, we are able to provide a strong and dynamic range of cables that will suit your every need.
One of the other most popular accessories is the addition of a system controller or smart remote. These controllers can be very affordable and can be worth every penny. These smart remotes can be programmed with macros these are preprogrammed steps the remote will make to turn everything on and off as you need it with one touch, from lighting, stereos, televisions, and projectors. Don’t fuss with 6 remotes taking up space and confusing everyone in the house, alleviate those pains and hassles with one remote that can do everything.
Lets not forget power, all these systems today need to get powered up and one of the greatest and safest improvements that can be made to any home entertainment system can be the addition of a power condition and surge protector from Monster. A large part of video noise is generated straight from having unclean power delivered from the power company and from a closed home circuit and noise fed back into the system by other electronic devices in your own home.
Analogue audio has a lot of other areas that need attention as well, phone cartridges, stylus cleaner, record cleaning brushes and solutions, isolation spikes, still points, super silver treatment, banana plugs, speaker stands, are just a few of the accessories what Sound World has to complete your home system.
