Black Discus NANO New :

The Mad Scientist is pleased to introduce new Black Discus NANO. We originally released Black Discus in 2013, and they have remained the same - until now..

Black Discus NANO are not just an improvement on the originals, they are the kind of thing that will have you listening to your old favorite tracks again, and playing whole tracks or albums - in other words, inject more passion into your listening experience.

We really think you should try the new Black Discus Nano, so much that we are giving away free samples (just pay $5 for postage) and we will send you a pair.

Black Discus NANO Donuts New :

The newest Black Discus NANO is the Donut, which is designed to fit on top of torroidal transformers. They are 6cm or 7cm diameter, with a slimline 6cm. They provide the same kind of benefits as other Black Discus NANO products.

Black Magic USB Cable

New :USB Cable A world-beater from New Zealand





Black Magic normally brings to mind images of pentagrams, incense burning and Aleister Crowley. To Kiwis, Black Magic means something else entirely : the name of the boat that brought the Americas Cup here more than 20 years ago. (And to prove it wasn't a fluke, we've done it 3 times now..). It's when we proved we can take on the world and win.

Black Magic is our flagship product from now on.. During development and testing it became clear that Black Magic had few if any peers (this coming from professionals who have access to any USB cable they like, and choose ours). How does it sound? Clarity and Musical are the two words that spring to mind. One thing that really impressed me was the ability to hear (new) lyrics on tracks that I thought I knew inside-out. It brings the kind of improvements that you normally expect from a component, and makes you want to listen all night.

I would not be surprised if many of you have similar experiences with USB audio as I did initially. Basically that it sucks. For quite some time I much preferred the sound of Coax (SPDIF), even if the best-sounding route was PC - USB - USB-to-SPDIF convertor - coax cable - DAC, which is crazy if you think about it too hard..

Later, USB became tolerable when using galvanic isolators like the Intona, or other noise-reducing dongles.

But Black Magic makes all these things redundant. It not only outperforms the best SPDIF links, it also sounds best when using it direct, without any isolators or noise-busters.
