The performance of interconnects cables, plugs quality and connectors  in general have a major influence on the musical performance of an audio system.
  Consequently, we have developed a range of exceptionally performing cables, which can restore every musical parameter, such as rhythm, melody and dynamics. Advance Acoustic cables are the ultimate solution and are guaranteed to optimize a perfect connection between the components.


Contrary to traditional modulation cables constituting of an active conductor (positive) and of a mass wire (negative), the cable of balanced modulation ACS 15 is composed of two active conductors (+ and -) called positive and negative. The separate mass wire acting only as insulant, this technique enables to obtain high-quality musical performance. Besides, an aluminium film surrounds the insulating material to screen electromagnetic disturbances and other surrounding noises.

 

This technique issued from professional equipment, and introduced into the world of “Top Range” Hi-Fi, enables us to achieve very high quality musical performance, even on a cable length of several metres.

This cable is recommended for all types of connections equipped with XLR plugs, such as from a pre-amplifier to an amplifier. And also to connect our sources to some of our amplifiers or pre-amplifiers.

This cable, 6 meters in length, also exists in 1 meter (reference ACS 10), 1.2 meters ( ACS11 and in 2.5 meters (reference ACS 12).

AFFORDABLE HIGH END PREAMPLIFIER

Succeeding to the X-P500, the X-P700 offers technical refinements rarely encountered in this range: dual mono design and the most direct signal processing possible (Direct Path).
Supreme refinement, it is possible to choose between two output schemes: the class A mode using bipolars in double-cascade assembly, close to a tube gradient, and the Discret mode, based on a JFet differential and mirror of current in bipolars, polarized in class AB, more traditional.

Its design is very sober and pure, a single rotary knob is present with a push to validate the choices: access to inputs, volume adjustment, bass/treble tones, balance or even loudness. The remote control activating these functions remotely.
The X-P700 is really very complete: nine analog inputs, one of which is balanced, and one MM/MC phono. On the digital side: two optical inputs, one coaxial input, one USB-B input (Xmos) as well as a USB-A. The DAC is the powerful Burr Brown PCM 1796 -24 bit/192 kHz converter.
On the output side, the X-P700 offers an RCA lined with a balanced XLR, plus a high-pass output and two for sub. Headset enthusiasts are pampered: two inputs on the front (6.35 and 3.5 jack) plus below a double independent adjustment of gain +6, 0, -4 dB and output impedance 0 or 100 ohms.

The X-P700 is very seriously built, starting with the sober 10 mm black methacrylate front panel, common to the Classic Line.
But the interior is more revealing: two high-capacity toroidal transformers supply the double-mono power supply filtered and regulated on the motherboard, also containing the preamplification stages.
The quality of the adjustable MC high and low level phono stage, as well as the MM capacitance is remarkable for this budget, hard to imagine anything better.
In short, at the price at which the new X-P700 is offered, it is difficult to propose better. This is what we wanted from the start of the development of this new preamplifier. We didn’t skimp on the quality of components, decoding or power supply, the kind of attention that counts when listening.

The X-P700 is the ideal preamplifier, it can be associated with our range of power amplifiers such as the famous X-A160 (or EVO), X-A220 (or EVO), BX2 or the new X-A600 or any other audiophile quality power amplifier. Good listening.

Reference stereo preamplifier, it is in fact made up of two mono preamplifiers assembled in a single compartmentalized box in order to ensure complete isolation of the various circuits and preamplification stages. This design ensures better channel separation (crosstalk) and therefore a better stereo effect.
Not only does your X-P1200 have independent preamplification circuits for the right channel and the left channel, but it is also at the level of their power supplies that we have chosen to make them completely independent thanks to the use of two transformers.
The X-P1200 is equipped with 9 analog inputs including 2 balanced XLR inputs., One USB B (XMOS) input, 2 coaxial digital inputs and 2 digital inputs. On the output side, you will have the choice between a balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA type output.
Everything has been thought out to make this preamp the benchmark for the best audio systems: mains input with filtering by chokes and capacitors, two toroidal transformers with high current capacity, filtering made up of4 12000uF / 150V capacitors. The processing of digital sources is entrusted to an Analog Device AD1955 DA to AD converter.
This converter is particularly suitable for high-end and SACD applications.
The quality of the digital/analog decoding is of very high level with a signal to noise ratio of 123 dB and an audio quality at the top. It is comprised of a multibit sigma delta modulator, high performance digital interpolation filters and continuous-time differential current output DACs.
The playback of audio files from a PC or MAC computer is entrusted to XMOS, a benchmark solution in the field of quality audio reproduction.

Without a doubt, the X-P1200 will be associated with the X-A1200 mono unit for an exceptional hifi system.
