An attractive sound quality that only pure quartz has!
Conventional insulators generate their unique tone according to the
physical characteristic or the property of their each material, and it
is only important whether their generated tone suit listener's taste or
not. We, ACOUSTIC REVIVE, have tested every possible material that never
generates own tone of the material and improves sound quality. Finally
we found out pure smoky quartz and pure quartz as a material of the
insulator. Pure smoky quartz and pure quartz don't generate their own
tone, and they improve the sound quality. Additionally, reproducing
sound becomes livelier. You will be surprise that the sound of the
instruments or human voice have changed incredibly livelier, and
extremely vividly.
The RIQ-5010 has many effects besides using as an insulator
If you place the RIQ-5010 on the top plate of your equipment or near the
input/output terminals, you can get the effects of improving sound.
There are some theories why the quartz improves sound. Some say that the
pure quartz absorbs an electromagnetic wave, some another say that the
pure quartz controlls vibration, or that the pure quartz radiate far
infrared light. Anyway pure quartz have effects of improving sound that
are never gained from the other materials.
Pure quartz's effects of improving sound quality is on a different
level!
Insulators that are made of the metal or the quartz glass generate hard
and sharp sound. The RIQ-5010 never generates such sounds and improves
sound quality extremely mellifluously, smoothly, lively and warmly.
Additionally, the sound is well-modulated, and the rise time and decay
time are both quickly, these two opposite values can be compatible.
We try to secure ore, and try to keep producing the RIQ-5010 as long as
possible
Pure smoky quartz and pure quartz are both very scarce materials. We try
to secure ore, and try to keep producing the RIQ-5010 as long as
possible. But when we can't get ore, we will stop producing the RIQ-5010
and the RIQ-5010W. Note: Because of using pure quartz, crystal structures or impurities
are shown inside of RiQ-5010 in some cases. Please accept it.

CP-4
CP-4 is a high cost performance insulator, that improves S/N ratio,
transparency and reinforces strong low end level without changing tone
of sound. It can be used with combination with insulator made of hard
material, rack, board and speaker stand to stop any wobble.
Principle & Structure
Quartz Resonator QR-8 is not magic or occult. Reason why the sound
improves by using QR-8 is that because, by placing QR-8 onto an agenda
which causes resonance, the resonance frequency of agenda changes and it
stops any resonation. Agenda such as plug, connector, parts, equipment
switch, equipment housing, and door in the room, windows, wall, floor
and ceiling resonates by its particular resonance frequency and by
placing QR-8 will change the frequency and stops the resonance. But
placing QR-8 to an agenda which does not resonate, adversely QR-8 may
cause it to resonate or to over dump. So you have to be careful where
you place the QR-8. You can check if QR-8 is causing the agenda to
resonate or over dumping by listening to the sound.
At first, place the QR-8 lightly onto the agenda which seems to
resonate. If the sound improves, it means that QR-8 has stop resonation.
If the sound improves, place the QR-8 firmly for a rigid placement. In
other wise if the sound deteriorates, take off the QR-8 and try it onto
other agenda. The QR-8`s adhesive power will last for a wile, but if the
adhesive sheet starts to lose the power, use the replacement adhesive
sheet. Finding the best effect carefully is the most important thing.
Natural smoky quartz used as material
Till now, aluminum and specially treated aluminum, ceramics and special
metal have been used as an material for tuning chipÅDThese materials
carry resonance sound, and it only add these resonance sound onto the
audio. Even though they stop the resonance, its particular sound gets
onto the audio, and more you use these tuning chips, you start losing a
feeling of throbbing pulse and intonation. QR-8 does not carry any
resonance sound and particular sound, so you can get the sound quality
that is realistic and a feeling of throbbing pulse and intonation. This
is the reason why we adopted the natural smoky quartz.
As long as you don’t choose the wrong resonance point, as more and more
you use the QR-8, the sound quality of the audio system gets filled with
a feeling of throbbing pulse and intonation.
Material of adhesive sheet is also carefully chosen
It doesn’t matter how the tuning chips material is superior, depending
what adhesive sheet is used, the sound quality changes and in the worst
case, the sound deteriorates. Some adhesive sheet stops the chip
material from working as resonance eliminator. Some tuning chips on the
market have adhesive sheet which is made from a very thick rubber
material that hides the bad point of the chip material. These materials
stop the chip from doing the job, and adhesive sheet works as a
resonance eliminator. You can’t get a feeling of throbbing pulse,
intonation and resonance control effect from rubber materials. Very thin
Japanese paper based adhesive sheet is used on QR-8, which does not
deteriorate sound quality and resonance control. Japanese paper based
adhesive sheet brings out the full potential of the natural smoky
quartz. Also QR-8 comes with a replacement adhesive sheet, so you can
try the chip on different agenda.
Which addenda can you get the best effect?
Were to get the best effect from the QR-8 depends on the equipment,
system and the room environment. Place the QR-8 lightly onto the agenda
which seems to be resonating and find the sweet spot. In most cases, you
can get an excellent effect on equipments main power switch, inlet
connector of power supply cable, DC cable connector and lighting switch
in the room. We recommend you to uses the QR-8 first on these points.
Example of how to use the QR-8
On
the main switch of the equipment (Power switch).
On
the inlet connector of power supply cable.
On
the lighting switch in the room or ventilation switch
On
the top of power supply box.
On
the center of the door.
On
the back of Short plug or terminal cover.
On
the receptacle stabilizer or parallel type filter.
On
the wall or ceiling of the room
On
the main body of the breaker or lever
On

On
top of the head shell of analogue player
On
the power transformer inside the equipment.
On
the plug of line cable or digital cable
All
kinds of plugs (Photo is DC cable plug).
Attention when using QR-8
When placing the QR-8 places like breaker and inside the equipment, it
will users self responsibility and considers the safety and be careful
when placing the QR-8. In case when accident or damage happens, our
company will not take any responsibility at all.
To musicians and musical instrument lovers
If you place the QR-8 onto the bridge of a guitar, the tone and sound
will improve dramatically. We recommend this method to musicians and
musical instrument lovers.
Principal & Structure
The purpose of a cable insulator is to prevent cables from being
influenced by vibrations from the speaker. Most conventional cable
insulators (or stabilizers) are made from a single material. So even if
the cable is lifted from the floor, they will generate their own
resonance which will inevitably induce coloration.
We at Acoustic Revive have tested many materials, and as a result of
these tests we decided to adopt a combination of top quality maple and
ebony, which makes the sound natural and free from coloration. The cable
contact surface is covered with special vibration control material for
superb resonance control.
In addition, inside the insulator is a blend of natural ores which
absorb electromagnetic waves and radiated noise from the cable. Because
of its combination of resonance control and noise absorption abilities,
the RCI-3 will dramatically improve sound in a manner never before
achieved. Noise is dramatically reduced and sound stage and imaging are
more focused and three dimensional. The tone will become smoother as
well.
Using the RCI-3 on one power cable has a huge effect!
Using more and more RCI-3 to lift cables up from the floor or the rack
will improve transparency and make the sound very three dimensional, but
using even one RCI-3 on a power cable will have a great effect. Power
cables are affected not only by speaker vibrations, but also by the
electric power flowing through the cable itself, which leads to loss in
voltage and distortion.
Power cables release strong radiation noise which badly affects the
surrounding cables and equipment. Using the RCI-3 on power cables allows
electricity to flow more smoothly, greatly reducing resonance and
radiation noise.
Effective even if all cables are lifted!
Many audiophiles already use short cables that don’t touch the floor or
employ some method to keep the cables floated off of the floor or rack.
Even in these cases, using the RCI-3 is very effective.
This is because the resonance control structure and electromagnetic wave
absorbing characteristics of the RCI-3 are very powerful. You can expect
a dramatic sound quality improvement by using the RCI-3 Cable Insulator.

Visual Grand Prix 2013 Winter Award
Creates a natural and
organic tonal quality by the use of natural hickory coated with bees wax
The HQ-4 insulator is made of 20mm square natural hickory coated with
natural bees wax. This wood is often used for high grade drum sticks
etc. Often, insulators made from wood transmit the inherent sound of the
base material.
This gives unwanted sound pollution and distortion in the resulting
sound.
Hickory does not suffer from this phenomenon. The incidental
transmission of the unwanted sounds is avoided. The sound reproduction
is vivid and organic. The bees wax coating further enhances the richness
and tonal accuracy.
A superb “price vs. performance ratio” is achieved and the application is
infinite!!
HQ-4 is supplied at a very reasonable price in spite of using a rare
wood Hickory and an Expensive natural bees wax.
Due to the compact size and form of the 20-mm square wood, the
application is infinite and makes a remarkable effect with a small
investment.
Needless to say, the HQ-4 is also suitable for small net audio apparatus
(Hub, router, NAS, etc), power distributors, and for use as a cable
insulator, or as spacer between speaker and stand or speaker and
under-board, etc, etc.
