Thoughts on Analysis Plus |

"The Pro Oval Studio series has totally transformed me as an artist. Prior to discovering Analysis-Plus, my set-up included a spread of effects across the floor in front of me. Now, I don't have the heart to even stick a high-end true bypass pedal between my instrument and the direct injection box. Thanks Mark Markel and the A.P. gang! You guys rock!!" "I didn't know what 'tone' was until I discovered Analysis Plus" - Jake |

“The Analysis Plus leads have totally transformed my in-ear monitor sound. I have no idea how it works technically, but there is so much more clarity and detail to the sound which is crucial when relying totally on an in-ear mix. It’s made a massive difference… Thanks to Analysis Plus and aanvil audio for supplying the cables.”
-Paul Carrack |
“I love the Analysis Plus Bass Oval cable because it give a balanced sound with a linear response. Not only is there more clarity and punch, but more bass as well. The bass sound is very musical and fits well into the overall musical picture. As a bonus my instrument has become more responsive…”
-Jeremy Meek |
About Paul Carrack...
The former vocalist of Mike and The Mechanics and the voice behind world-wide hits such as Ace's "How Long", Squeeze's "Tempted" and the timeless classic "The Living Years", has a deserved reputation as a stunning live performer.
After a highly successful summer as special guest for The Eagles at arenas across the UK and Europe, the Sheffield-born singer and songwriter is back on tour to promote his acclaimed new album "I know That Name".
The album has received heavy airplay on BBC Radio 2 and the single "I Don't Want to Hear Any More" featuring Don Henley and fellow Eagle Timothy B. Schmit, on backing vocals, has been recorded and released as a single by The Eagles also.
Carrack’s marvelously soulful voice is known to millions around the world; he is undoubtedly a key figure in Britsh pop history. And as his devoted fans know all too well, a Paul Carrack show is always something very special. |

"This cable is the best when playing acoustic in the studio or in front of 80,000 people in a stadium - cheers Analysis Plus"

| The production duo of Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton released several of Britain's most respected and enjoyable progressive house anthems of the '90s from their base in South London. Before they met (at a Thames riverboat party organized by Buxton), Ratcliffe grooved to the deep Latin funk of War and George Duke while Buxton was turned on to Chicago house. The pair formed Atlantic Jaxx Records in 1994 and was undoubtedly honored to count among fans of their first release none other than DJ legend and Basement Jaxx influence Tony Humphries, who played "Da Underground" from the EP on his New York mixshow consistently during 1994-1995. |

"Wow...What a difference! I was turned onto these cables when I was touring Japan with Jake Shimabukuro. I was untangling my Monster Cables when I saw Jake pull out these bad ass cables. "What are those?" I said...the rest is history.
Analysis-Plus Cables sound better, play better, they even look better. On top of all that they don't tangle! For the road or for the studio Analysis-Plus Cables are my first choice."

At just 20 years old, Justin James stared down his own mortality when a life changing encounter with a tiger shark left him bleeding to death on a remote South American beach. Multiple blood transfusions and 250 stitches later, James found himself depleted, bedridden and bewildered for what was to become an agonizing year of recovery. It was during this harrowing stretch that an unlikely gift from his grandmother, a new acoustic guitar, revived his longing for life and unveiled a songwriter whose voice today has him rising the charts and captivating the world with his performance.
Known for his bliss-induced songs of love and living, James spends most of his days basking in the rays of his new lease on life: surfing and writing songs on the sun-baked shores of California and Hawaii; ultimately to share his music with his fans across the world.
James’ songs have been exposed to millions of listeners. In 2010, Delta Airlines, McDonalds and Hollister Co. have all placed his music. His songs have also made a huge splash on network TV scoring several hit shows including: The Hills, Laguna Beach, Las Vegas, The Ghost Whisperer and others.
The independent success, which James has cultivated, honored him a Best Male Vocalist nod at the LA Music Awards & led him to sign with Sony International. It also landed him in the studio with famed producers Mikal Blue and Andrew Williams. The first single off James’ album “Perfect Sometimes” features Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso & Sony label mate Jake Shimabukuro. The two gifted artists have not only collaborated on recordings but also toured Japan together.
The “Summertime” single is already climbing the charts in Hawaii where it just broke the top 20 on Clear Channel 101.9.
Together with song and stage, James is striving to ensure that the sun will never set on the ocean of opportunities that life presents.
