A long, long time ago, in a galaxy not too far away, a young man discovered the joys of valve amplifier and vinyl, and became so obsessed with music and audio, he dedicated his life to the ‘audiophile’ cause, setting up his first part time company back in the late 1980’s as nothing but a spotty kid.

Over the past three decades, this spotty ‘yoof’ has been lucky enough to tour the world, write for magazines, work with some of the industries leading lights, and just about done every job within the audio industry.

1) Repair and service of all valve and related products.

Something new, at last!

Limited edition gramophone / pick up preamplifier. The '33.3 Limited Edition' Limited to just 33 examples, this Moving Magnet phono stage has been designed for the absolute best sound quality per £.  It is designed and built in Lancashire, and boasts some sound enhancing features. Obviously all valve (2x ECC83 double triode Class A operation). Each channel is assembled on it's own individual board, mono construction if you like. The shortest signal path possible, with no need for internal wire or connections, maximising low level detail and lowering distortion. A separate power supply is included, minimising hum field and power supply induced noise. All components are high tolerance and very carefully selected. All are hand made, and all are subject to 100 hour burn in and test. The design was to make longevity and low noise a priority over absolute gain. Unlike some of our competitors, the sound quality of the '33.3' will not deteriorate with age. The circuit uses active RIAA equalisation, again using the highest tolerance matched components throughout.

These units are being built in batches of 11.  The first being released on Thursday 1st March 2012. The price is just £395 with free delivery, and a 30 day money back guarantee if not 100% happy with the units performance. To reserve yours now, or make a purchase please email (you can click this link haden@audioclassics.co.uk )
