These accessories are signal enhancers, not direct audio gear:
iPurifier (USB and S/PDIF variants) reduces digital noise for cleaner playback.
LAN iSilencer filters electrical noise from Ethernet connections, improving streaming quality.
iDefender+ combines noise reduction with power injection, boosting USB stability and clarity.
Yes. iFi Audio offers solutions for every level of listener. Entry models like the Zen series provide a simple upgrade over standard computer or laptop sound, while advanced products like the iDSD Diablo and Pro series cater to experienced audiophiles seeking reference-level performance.
Most iFi devices are plug-and-play, but performance can be enhanced with quality USB, interconnect, or power cables. iFi’s own iPower supplies and iPurifier accessories are designed to reduce noise and further improve system clarity.
With robust aluminium housings, eco-friendly construction, and toxin-free internal components, iFi Audio products are built for long-term reliability. Many customers use their devices daily for years without issue, making them a safe and lasting investment.
IsoAcoustics isolation products decouple speakers and equipment from the supporting surface. This prevents vibrations and energy transfer that can cloud the sound, resulting in clearer detail, tighter bass, and improved imaging.
The GAIA series is ideal for floor-standing loudspeakers and delivers outstanding improvements in clarity and openness. For bookshelf speakers or desktop monitors, the Aperta series provides adjustable tilt and excellent isolation.
Yes. Products like the Orea isolators and ZaZen isolation platforms are designed for hi-fi separates and turntables. They control vibration at the component level, revealing greater micro-detail and reducing noise.
Yes. IsoAcoustics isolators are effective on wood, glass, metal, and concrete floors. They are available in different weight ratings to match your equipment, ensuring consistent performance. For use on carpet, there are optional carpet spikes avaialable.
When speakers sit directly on a surface, vibrations travel into the floor or stand and then reflect back into the speaker cabinet. This interference can blur detail, smear imaging, and muddy bass response. IsoAcoustics isolators decouple the speaker from its surface, preventing those reflections. The result is tighter, more controlled bass, cleaner midrange, and a wider, more natural soundstage. Isolation helps you hear the true performance of your speakers without unwanted distortion.
IsoAcoustics products are directional for optimum performance. For GAIA and Aperta models, the IsoAcoustics logo should face forward toward the listening position. This ensures the isolators manage energy transfer correctly. Always make sure the feet or stands are level, stable, and matched to the weight of your speakers or components. Following these guidelines guarantees the full benefit of improved clarity and openness in your system.
IsoTek power conditioners remove noise and interference from your mains supply while providing surge protection for your system. This ensures your hi-fi or AV equipment receives clean, stable power, improving dynamics, detail, and overall performance.
For entry-level systems, the IsoTek EVO3 Polaris or EVO3 Corvus are excellent starting points. They provide multiple outlets, reliable protection, and an immediate uplift in sound and picture quality.
Yes. IsoTek solutions benefit any system powered by electricity. Hi-fi setups gain clearer sound and tighter bass, while home cinema users notice sharper visuals and more immersive surround sound.
Absolutely. IsoTek power cables are designed with advanced shielding and high-quality conductors to reduce electromagnetic interference and optimise current delivery. Upgrading to an IsoTek EVO3 Premier or EVO3 Sequel cable is one of the simplest ways to improve performance.
IsoTek uses advanced passive components and proprietary design techniques to filter out mains interference and isolate components from electrical “cross‑talk.” This results in a cleaner, more stable supply, reducing noise, tightening dynamics, and delivering greater clarity and musical detail.
Yes! IsoTek units such as the EVO3 Aquarius offer robust surge protection (rated at over 67,000A) to safeguard your equipment from power surges while conditioning the incoming mains.
Like many high-performance audio components, IsoTek products benefit from a period of burn-in. While you’ll notice improvements straight out of the box, most conditioners and cables reach their full potential after 100 hours of continuous use. During this time, the sound generally opens up with greater transparency, tighter bass, and a more natural musical flow.
IsoTek’s entry-level products, such as the EVO3 Polaris and Corvus, focus on accessible multi-outlet protection and noticeable improvements to sound and picture quality. Moving up the range to reference models like the Aquarius, Titan or Sigmas brings more advanced circuitry, higher current capacity, and dedicated outlet designs for source components and power amplifiers. This ensures the cleanest possible supply, unlocking the very best performance from high-end systems.
PLiXiR uses balanced power technology to reduce common-mode noise and ground loop issues at the source. This results in a more natural sound, a quieter background, and improved dynamics compared to standard conditioners.
The Elite BAC 150 is an excellent entry point. Designed for DACs, preamps, and streamers, it delivers an immediate uplift in noise reduction, musical flow, and overall system clarity.
