Think of us as your personal advisors – enthusiastic experts, passionate about the world of high-end audio, providing you with our objective advice in a complex marketplace.
We believe our mission is to introduce you to the brands and products we work with, and to share with you what it is about them that so excites us.
Everything we do is geared towards delivering a truer musical experience.
Hence our brand line: ‘where music comes first’.
Firstly, the faithful communication of sound demands an investment in time and energy if it is to engage fully with the heart as well as the head.
So we set out to explain in words and imagery what impresses us about the performance and the aesthetic quality of the equipment we recommend. Hopefully, you’ll grasp why it has earned our admiration and led us to throw behind it the weight of our formidable experience in the field.
Then we’ll aim to consolidate your initial interest by demonstrating how the system’s specifications translate into music (which is, after all, the emotional benefit of all great audio science and design).
In short, we’re here to make sure that you invest wisely in your hifi so that you enjoy fully that deep, emotional response that is the true purpose of all music.
Reducing unwanted noise or interference has been the key to many of the greatest and most worthwhile advances in audio performance over the last decade, better connecting us with our music and the musicians who are creating it, in both the analogue and digital domains. Squeezing ever greater performance by lowering the intrinsic noise floor in any given product, in conjunction with the other products in the chain, rather than purely trying to produce more and more information at the expense of balance and naturalness – this is a far more complex subject than at first it might seem.

Acustica Applicata was established in 1992 by a group of audiophiles. They design and build modular “acoustic traps” for low and medium frequencies. They also develop software for the analysis of reproduced sound quality.

Aidas Cartridges are handcrafted in Kaunas, Lithuania, by master craftsman Aidas Svazas—a designer with over 25 years’ experience in cartridge repair, modification, and original design. Each cartridge reflects a singular philosophy: that the body material shapes the sound as profoundly as the generator within. From layered durawood to mineral Tru-Stone to 21,000-year-old mammoth ivory, every Aidas cartridge is a fusion of material science and musical intent. These are cartridges that must be heard to be understood.

Avalon Acoustics is an idealistic group of musicians, artists, craftsmen, and engineers. Their experience ranges from playing and performance through recording, editing, mastering and playback.

Doshi Audio was founded in 2006 by Nick Doshi, a physicist-turned-broadcast engineer who began crafting high-end audio gear as a hobby for studio colleagues.

The result is a thoughtfully designed, emotionally compelling listening experience that bridges studio precision and musical intimacy.

Entreq’s founder and chief designer, Per Olof, combined his skill as an audio alchemist with his empathetic understanding of nature to evolve the principle of Grounding – the elimination of extraneous noise in sound reproduction through the use of naturally compatible materials.

It is the city of Florence, that historic pinnacle of achievement in art and science, which provided the inspiration for Gold Note’s creation of world-beating audio systems. Says Maurizio Aterini, ‘We strive to emulate a fusion of past and future’ – the meticulous craftsmanship associated with Renaissance Italy, and the technical sophistication of the most recent advances in audio engineering.

Kalista creates hi-fi as works of art. The unique tripod design of the DreamPlay collection is distinct and eye-catching making the look of each product as breathtaking as the sound they produce.

If you have a device that has direct contact from top to bottom, (12 o’clock to 6 o’clock) like single bearing devices, no matter what the materials used, it is damping – not isolating.
True isolation does not have a direct path between surfaces. Stillpoints patented technology stacks bearings such that there is no direct contact between the component and the surface upon which it rests.

Jörn Janczak, Founder and CEO of the German audio company TIDAL, is a music lover whose ambition was to build the finest audio systems in the world. Many connoisseurs would agree that he has succeeded.

Each model offers fully independent adjustability and is engineered to preserve the integrity of the signal from the moment the stylus touches the groove.

Ask the CEO of Vitus audio, Hans Ole, to sum up his company’s ethos and he simply says, ‘We put technology at the service of the music.’
