A good AV experience doesn't happen by accident...
Why Kordz cables?
AV (audio/video) has been a passion of mine for a long time, in the 1990s I was involved in HiFi, Home Cinema, multi zone audio/video and car audio installations. Anyone remember laser disks?
I’ve maintained an ongoing interest in this field over the years and do a bit of PA/Concert sound around the place, particularly at Christmas time.
Why revisit this field again? Quite simply there have been too many cases where I’ve been to see a client who happens to mention frustration over a recent purchase from a discount retailer. The end result is most often something that doesn’t work as desired/ hoped for. Unfortunately the harsh reality is that the discount retailer makes no bones about the fact that don’t offer any support or service other than maybe helping you to the checkout. So while I cringe at the existence of such retailers the fact of the matter is they are giving exactly what they promised, it’s up to you the buyer to do your homework and if you’re likely to need/want a greater level of support then choose to buy from those who live to provide this type of service. The dilemma is everyone wants great service, considered product advice and an ongoing helping hand but very few want to pay the costs associated with being able to provide that level of service.
I’ve teamed up with some ‘old’ colleagues in order to be able to provide a range of services for those who are interested in getting the best results for their hard earned dollars.
1. I’m now happy to be distributing Kordz interconnect cables and associated accessories.
Kordz, an all Australian company, are world leaders in the design and manufacture of HDMI and other interconnect cables. Their products are first class and great value for money. HDMI, while a fabulous technology, will bring you to your knees if not done well and poor quality cabling is often the cause of picture failures. For the real story on HDMI and some great resources check out the official HDMI website.
Kordz interconnect cables are (broadly) divided into two categories, the enthusiast range and the commercial range, designed to cater for differing budgets and installation requirements.
The enthusiast range includes the EVO, EVS, EVX and the new high end 12% silver LUX series cables for HDMI connections. Those looking for high quality cables for Component, Stereo, Coax, TOSlink, Subwoofer and speaker cables will find options in the EVO, EVS and Master series cables. (Just a few examples highlighted below)
Shoot me an email for enquiries on any of the Kordz range.
EVO - the starting point for high quality OFC (oxygen free copper) at an affordable price, flat cable design to make it easier interconnecting stacked components. High Speed cables available in 1m ($79.00), 2m($99.00), 3m($119.00) and 5m($179.00) lengths and Standard Speed cables available in 7m($219.00), 10m($279.00), 12m($329.00) and 15m($389.00).
EVS - 2% silver for improved sound and video performance and with ethernet standard in lengths up to 18m. High Speed cables with ethernet available in 0.5m($89.00), 1m ($99.00), 2m($139.00), 3m($169.00), 5m($259.00), 7.5m($329.00), 10m($439.00), 12.5m($529.00), 15m($659.00) and 18m.
EVX - 7% silver cable for those who demand even more from their cables. High Speed cables with ethernet available in 1m ($159.00), 2m($199.00), 3m($329.00), 5m($479.00), 7m($609.00) and 10m($769.00) lengths.
Lux - the top of the line 12% silver cable design in conjunction with Joe Kane (Joe Kane Productions) for those who pay attention to every detail because every bit of detail is important. High Speed cables with ethernet available in 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 7.5m and 10m lengths.
The Master Series
For those wanting to achieve the best results from their analogue systems will love the Master cable, 24k gold plated premium connectors and 5% silver solid conductors.
The commercial range includes the PRO series cables in HDMI, Component, Stereo, VGA and TOSlink cables.
PRO - not simply a budget cable, the PRO series uses the same copper and construction methodology as the EVO series but is designed with the needs and challenges of a custom installer in mind. High Speed cables available in 0.5m($39.00), 1.5m ($49.00), 3m($59.00), 5m($89.00) lengths. Standard Speed cables available in 7.5m($119.00), 10m($169.00), 15m($259.00), and 20m($329.00) lengths.
If you’re an AV installer and would like to source Kordz cables and accessories then email to arrange a chat.
2. I’ve teamed up with my ‘old’ friend and mentor, Chris Mathers, and together we’ve formed In Hand AV Solutions.
I bought my first HiFi system from Chris back in 1983, then, as now, it was about being inspired about what you could do and confidence in the person/s you entrust yourself to achieve those results.
