Welcome to EWA and ABCaudio
Hi, Welcome. I am Alan, a friend of Colin Wonfor. He is EWA, I am ABCaudio. I run a web-shop called https://www.abcaudio.biz/ where I advertise, sell and assemble EWA designed cables. The EWA amplifiers are built by Colin himself. Both enterprises are based around two friends hand building the best audio equipment possible.
Who is Colin Wonfor?
Col is my dear friend, a fascinating character and audio designer of acclaim as well as a chemist and a power supplies expert. Colin has worked in many fascinating areas, quite a few he won't be permitted to speak about. One of my favorites was his design for a three phase power amplifier which is designed to pressure test aircraft fuselages. Another cool thing is he designed the quietest switching power supply ever, which is now installed in the I.S.S. In fact, he did a fair bit of work for NASA.
Colin was the man behind AC Magnum amplifiers in the seventies - mostly class A MOSFET beasts that are still going strong. People use them to power big Apogee ribbons.
Then he went on to set up Inca Tech, where he was the first to commercially gold plate mains plugs and sockets. He designed the famous Claymore amplifier, over twenty seven thousand were sold. There were also some wonderful class A amplifiers under the name ID (Inca Designs).
Later came TOCA SECA where he designed the largest Single Ended Class A amplifiers ever built, at 300W RMS true class A. Colin designs the best SECA amplifiers in the world, in my view.
His worked on cable design gained some attention when he co-founded Tellurium Q, an audio cable company. His designs, which are complex, well thought out and quite unique - an example of true lateral thinking - went on to win many awards. He was treated very poorly in my view and lost his stake in the company after they became successful. There is quite a lot written on the internet about this sad episode. Some would say it is just business. I say it stinks.
So here is EWA, a showcase for Colin's latest designs. The cables and amplifiers in the EWA range are unlike anything else available today, and the cables especially are a step change from Colin's previous achievements. He is rightly very proud of these. Then there are the amplifiers, all hand-built to order. They are his babies, and every one - from the tiny Q-20 to the massive M-100 - will astonish with their pure musicality. They represent the pinnacle of analogue audio design and engineering.
