| My Best Friend |
| Nikki · My "best friend" 8-year old Golden Retriever always sits next to me on the sofa when I am listening to music... making my musical experience even more rewarding!!! You see her pictured in her adopted "bed"... a nice Italian leather lounge chair. She is eXtremely intelligent... obviously has good tastes... great for testing high frequency extension... and also loves Jack Johnson (www.JackJohnsonMusic.com)... especially his latest eXceptionally well recorded "Sleep Through the Static" CD!!! BTW: Thank You Robert Carranza for doing such a great analog recording job!!! |

x2 · An amazing NEW product that
is hard-wired with an Acoustic Revive
Power Reference Power Cable ·
One is used on the 20-amp line for my AMR CD-77
CDP and Atma-Sphere MP-3 Preamp. A second RTP-2ultimate
is used on the 30-amp line for my Atma-Sphere
MA-1 Mk III OTL Monoblock Amplifiers. The receptacles for the RTPs are similar to the Oyaide R-1 receptacles... with the same Berrylium Copper contacts... but use a Silver/Rhodium plating instead of the Platinum/Palladium plating of the Oyaide R-1. I find that these work best when plugged into Oyaide GX Gold plated wall receptacles. AMAZING... and superior to most all AC Power
