Simplifying the range Have you tried buying a coffee recently? Nightmare isn’t it? Filter, Americano, Cappuccino, Latte, Skinny Latte, Flat White, Cortado … the list goes on. Life seemed so much simpler when all you had to do was ask for ‘a coffee’: the problem was, that probably meant a pretty awful cup of instant. Choice is good, it gives us more options … but it can also complicate things. Over the 33 years that Russ Andrews Accessories has been in business, our own range has expanded considerably. This is because we have researched and developed many new ways to improve the performance of your systems, and that’s definitely a good thing. At the same time, we do appreciate that the range we offer can sometimes be a little overwhelming.
Making it easier This booklet is an attempt to address this. I have looked at the whole range of products we offer – from mains cables to filters, interconnects and speaker cables – and selected those that I believe stand out as particularly good value within the range. If you haven’t upgraded any of your cables so far, the ones I’ve included in this booklet are the ones to start with. In most cases I’ve chosen three or four cables, each of which occupies a particular position in terms of price and performance. This makes it easy to choose a cable that’s suitable for your system set-up and budget. It’s important to note that in almost all cases there are cables and accessories higher in the range that offer even more improvements. The ones I’ve chosen, however, occupy a ‘sweet spot’ in terms of performance and price, with a very high ‘sound per pound’ ratio and offer a simple way to achieve better sound from your Hi-Fi or Home Cinema set-up.

Mains Extension RECOMMENDATIONS
Most of us need to use a mains extension to power our system – it’s a necessity but also an advantage; your system will actually perform better when all the components are ‘starpowered’ from one point! That’s good news, so
“
The X6 Block™
long as your extension is optimised for the job and not restricting performance. The X6 Block Russ has chosen here is the perfect choice for any level of system.
The X6 – or any of the ‘X’ series extensions – is a real stand-out product in the range. The use of UltraSockets alone make this fabulous value for money – if you bought six of these separately,
they’d cost nearly £100 more than the whole block! And that’s even before you include the high-quality ABS casework, the Silencer mains filter or the Kimber TCX internal wiring…

Mains Filters RECOMMENDATIONS
Our mains filters are high-performance ‘parallel’ designs, which bring all the advantages of cleaning the mains without restricting performance (many of the more usual ‘in-line’ designs can constrict performance by increasing impedance).
“
Mini Purifier™ Mini Purifier is an excellent starting point as it filters out mains noise over a wide frequency range – in essence, it’s a great choice for reducing general noise on the mains.

Analogue Interconnects RECOMMENDATIONS
Analogue interconnects are those used between sources such as CD players, streamers and DACS and your preamp or integrated amp. The models here all benefit from Kimber’s unique woven cable design to bring a natural, musical sound from your system, and Russ has selected cables from right across the range so there’s something for every budget.

Select KS-1016 KS-1016 is made with Kimber’s Select copper which is the finest purity with the best insulation. Coupled with the spaced and damped cable geometry, KS-1016 has an incredible sense of the space a recording was made in – instruments and voices are clearly placed in the soundstage in front of you. This is the very best of my chosen interconnects and gets my strongest recommendation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
One of the most important links in the Hi-Fi chain, your speaker cable has the potential to either reveal or hold back the performance of everything else you’ve invested in further down the line.

Equipment Supports
Russ’s
RECOMMENDATIONS
The support you place your equipment on can have as big an effect on sound quality as the cables connecting it, so it’s important to get these right. The unique technology behind Torlyte supports is the same throughout the range – low mass and high rigidity. The approach is based on sound acoustic principles: high mass traps energy; low mass dumps it, leaving a very natural and open sound.
The complete range can be viewed at www.russandrews.com/torlyte
“
Torlyte Platform The simplest way to experience the ‘Torlyte Effect’ is with the latest, 2019 version of our long established Torlyte Platforms. They work well under all Hi-Fi electronics – from streamers and CD players, to preamps, power amps and even separate power supplies. They’re incredibly easy to use and they allow a clearer, more natural sound from your set-up.

Russ’s
RECOMMENDATIONS
Effective grounding of your system’s casework is one of the best value upgrades you can make to your system.

Vinyl Accessories RECOMMENDATIONS
If you regularly use a turntable you’ll know how important it is to keep your vinyl in tip-top condition – it’s absolutely vital to achieving a truly enjoyable listen! If you have a medium to large collection, Russ’s recommendation of the Audio Desk Pro Vinyl Cleaner is a must; it’s a significant investment but it’s simply the best we’ve come across. And everyone can benefit from storing their collection in the superb MA Recordings Inner Sleeves.
Clean your records
“
In my experience, ultrasonic record cleaning machines can get LPs cleaner than other methods and the Audio Desk Pro Vinyl Cleaner is incredibly effective and simple to use. It’s a fully automatic machine that washes and dries each LP in just a few minutes at the touch of a button. Expensive? Yes, but any record collector who really cares about his or her collection and wants to get the best sound should make it a priority to own one.
“
They may sound exotic, but these MA Recordings record sleeves are some of the nicest record sleeves I’ve tested. Made from synthetic Japanese fibres, we import them directly from the far east and as well as being gentle on your LPs, they have anti-static and anti-mould properties that make them ideal for caring for your treasured recordings.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Don’t forget the accessories! Simple things like properly cleaning your CDs, SACDs, DVDs or Blu-rays and reducing static can make a huge difference to the sound, so it really is worth investing in these areas. The same goes for cleaning contacts on your cables and equipment – a little time and effort spent here will pay significant dividends.

Statmat
Combined with our ReVeel and ReleeS, the use of a Statmat has become routine; I never play any disc - whether CD/SACD or DVD/Bluray - without one of these. The improvements are clear, both in sound and pictures, especially with this, their top model.
• Anti-static disc designed to sit on top of CDs and DVDs • Re-usable self-adhesive collar fixes the mat onto the disc • Cleaner, crisper sound and pictures

RECOMMENDATIONS
Superb SuperFuses! “ If you still need to be convinced that mains quality can have a profound effect on the performance of your system, you have to try one of these! SuperFuses are a simple upgrade to any mains cable (not just our Russ Andrews power cables), sounding clean, clear and musical. 13A is the correct value of fuse to fit to Russ Andrews power cables – but 10A and 5A versions are available for other manufacturers’ cables that need a lower fuse rating.
