Furniture - Atlas Cables
It is generally accepted that your hi-fi or AV system will only sound its best when supported on a quality hi-fi stand or AV rack, designed to isolate it from noise and vibrations. Additionally, high quality speaker stands are essential for the best sound from bookshelf speakers and we always recommend using a dedicated wall shelf to isolate your turntable. Popular brands include Atacama, Partington and Quadraspire.
Atlas cables is a UK company, specialising in the design and manufacture of high quality cables, many of which have won excellent reviews and awards in the hi-fi press. The range spans from great value Element cables to the flagship Asimi cables.
Atlas is first and foremost an engineering company, so in designing their cables, Atlas listen carefully, test, measure and test again. With only a couple of exceptions, all Atlas products are researched, designed and produced in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in west Scotland. In addition to the cable designs themselves, unlike other cable manufacturers, Atlas even design and manufacture their own RCA plugs, XLR plugs and custom plugs for cable grounding on some cable models.
The Atlas team have spent their lives in hi-fi and the audio visual industry and
are endlessly enthusiastic about it. In addition to great value cables, Atlas offer state of the art high end cables like the award-winning Mavros and Asimi cable range, which are regarded as among the finest cables in the world. Atlas continually refine their design and manufacturing processes, always looking for ways to make sure our customers get the best possible performance from their systems.
Most of our cables use the latest generation ‘cold-weld’ connectors, which optimises the cable assembly process, producing consistent, metal-to-metal airtight terminations. The result is superb performance and greater reliability, in turn supported by a 5 year guarantee. In addition to the entry level ranges, it’s hard not to be seriously impressed with Atlas’ Asimi and Mavros pairing. These are two of the very, very best. Plus it’s good to find a truly UK
base high-end offering. Atlas is definitely on the high-end map!
A piece of hi-fi or AV furniture isn’t just for keeping your equipment off the floor. Much of the wide range of furniture products we offer is a design statement in its own right, and something to be shown off. From real hardwoods and wood veneers, to coloured metals and high quality glass and metal speaker stands, many furniture products can truly be an attractive prospect.
For isolating and elevating bookshelf and standmount speakers, we offer a range of speaker stands, to suit every budget and taste. The purpose of a speaker stand is primarily to elevate a speaker so that the tweeter is at ear level when considered from the listening position. This ensures that a greater integration between complex mid and high frequencies is heard. A good quality, heavy speaker stand can also offer vast improvements to bass performance as it limits unwanted resonance and decouples the speakers from the floor.
We have a range of hi-fi and AV stands available, ideal for supporting your hi-fi and AV equipment, with AV stands capable of supporting a TV or display. Just like speaker stands, a good quality hi-fi or AV stand is able to isolate your equipment from interference and resonance, and offer sonic and performance improvements. We also have a range of hi-fi and AV furniture accessories, from replacement spikes to isolate your furniture from the ground, to speaker stand filler and floor protectors.
