James Chapman-Taylor (1878 - 1958), architect, is recorded to have written "Permanance, serenity, quiet cheerfulness, unassuming good taste, honesty of purpose. I believe these are qualities that should be embodied in the design and structure of all good houses."
He built many homes in Wellington, Hawkes Bay, and Auckland which faithfully pursued the English Arts and Crafts tradition. He regarded himself as both architect and craftsman.
Chapman-Taylor frequently built in concrete, finishing the outside walls with trowel-stroked rough-cast plaster, iron window and door latches purpose-designed, and interior timbers adzed and dark stained. All these characteristics show in the Takapuna house above. Even the furniture might come from the hand of the architect as he was involved in furniture-crafting too.
All Chapman-Taylor's houses are economical in their use of space, intimate in detailing, and humanly satisfying to live in.
The home above, designed and built in the 1920s in Takapuna, North-shore, Auckland, was originally for jeweller Ruben Watts. Later it became owned by the Golders who have kept it intact all these years. Now, in 2016, after ninety years, it has been valued by the two owners, retaining its character including appropriate furnishings as you can see in my photos.

The web browser on the PS Vita. It's functional and responsive. I very much miss iOS' intelligent content-aware double-tap to zoom, though.
Haven't had a chance to shoot a sunset recently. So was browsing my collection when I came across this image. I had a lot of time, and I had nothing else to do. So I began playing around with the image in PS and this became the end result. Reflection is fake.

PS Audio PerfectWave I2 Squared, Silver Conductors .5M approximately 20" long.
Current model Silver Top of the Line Reference HDMI Cable perfect for the P.S. Audio Perfect Wave Transport and DAC or any high quality HDMI link like Video monitors.
Reprinted from PS Audio Web Site:
Used as a digital interconnect, the PerfectWave I2S cables provide stunning performance between either the PerfectWave Transport, or the upcoming Digital Lens and the PerfectWave DAC. For best results, use the solid silver I2S12 in your digital audio or high-end video setup.
The more affordable I2S10 is also an outstanding performer, better than any high-end HDMI cable we have ever auditioned. Why compromise when you can have the best from PS Audio.
In the PerfectWave series, the best way to get the digital audio data between the PerfectWave Transport and the PerfectWave DAC is through I2S . Using the perfect cable to transfer the data is critical, and the new PerfectWave I2S series has been designed specifically to handle these sensitive signals.
I2S data is the standard jitter free data inside all CD transports and all DACS and CD players. Instead of converting the I2S data into a form that can pass through a single cable (a system called S/PDIF ), I2S data requires multiple conductors so the 3 clocks and the separate digital audio signals can pass through a single multi-conductor cable. Our research has shown that currently there are no better options than a well designed HDMI cable. HDMI cables have the perfect number of conductors for transferring both video and digital audio and for this reason, we chose the HDMI cable for our unique I2S interface between PerferctWave products.
It's not an easy task
To be an effective transmission medium, all clock and data timing paths must be meticulously maintained or the many advantages of I2S data transfer can be compromised. The new PS Audio I2S HDMI digital interface cables are specifically designed to maintain timing and waveform integrity up to 2 meters for I2S and over 50 feet for video applications (although currently we only manufacture up to 2 meters).
The PerfectWave I2S series of cables can handle clock rates to 340mHz, or 10gB per second data rate, which is significantly higher than the clock rates used in even high resolution digital audio.
Some of the key factors in maintaining excellent clock timing and waveform accuracy involve both materials, wire gauges, insulation types, shielding and construction.
Materials in this series are either 6% silver plated PCOCC (Single Crystal High Purity copper) or solid silver conductors. The vast majority of high-performance HDMI cables rely on silver plating over copper for their conductors. Even in PS Audio's I2S10, which is our affordable HDMI cable, we use 6% silver plating but we don't rely on simple ordinary copper. Instead we use the precious benefits of PCOCC single crystal copper , which helps the HDMI performance of both video as well as I2S in a way other cables don't even approach.
The I2S12, however, takes this one major step further buy using solid silver conductors for all 19 of the paths. There is not a higher end, better performing HDMI cable in the world than the solid silver I2S12 made by PS Audio. Currently it outperforms any HDMI compliant interconnect ever made. If you want the very finest in performance for either I2S connection or video, the the I2S12 is the way to go.
Between each of the 19 conductors in an HDMI cable you'll find a layer of insulation. This layer is critical to the cable's performance because insulation acts as a dielectric which can store energy of both the clocks and the digital audio or video signals. Storing energy is NOT what we want to do so great efforts have been made to use materials that have as little effect on the signals as possible. For this task, the engineers at PS Audio have chosen nitrogen injected skin-foam-skin for the dielectric . Currently, polythelyne skin-foam-skin is the best dielectric known for high speed digital transmissions and helps maintain a constant 75 Ohm impedance between conductors even when the cable is bent.
Electrical interefence from outside radiated sources is a big issue to deal with in digital signal transmission and the better the shielding to keep these noises out, the better and cleaner the performance of the cables. In the new PerfectWave I2S HDMI series, we use triple shielding on both the I2S10 and I2S12 series. Triple shielding provides substantial noise reduction in high frequency interference. Video is nearly noise free and stunning in its clarity and threee dimensionality.
This is the cable to get
Regardless of whether you need the world's best I2S digital interface between perfectWave products or the world's best video interconnect, the PS Audio I2S HDMI series is currently unmatched by any cable in the world. If you want the best, at a high-value low price, go with PS.
Our premier digital interconnect cable. The PerfectWave I2S is a high-end HDMI based digital interconnect that's going to provide the best performance between any two PerfectWave products like the PerfectWave DAC or PerfectWave Transport. This high-performance digital HDMI cable is equally at home in the video world and will ensure your hi-def video is gorgeous, clear and three dimensional in appearance. There are two models, the solid silver I2S12
