Advice & Guidance

Expert hi-fi advice can yield transformational results – just ask our customers – but the requisite unconflicted expertise is rare, and ‘gurus‘, misinformation, pseudoscience and sales pitches are everywhere.

Our advisory service helps savvy customers by delivering expertise and insight from the trusted specialist responsible for this much-loved website and entrusted with equipment like this, this, this and this.

[Mike is] one of the most helpful guys I have ever spoken to about hi-fi.

• Turntables, cartridges, tonearms and all things vinyl

Notes

Goodwill and gratitude go a long way @ Liquid Audio. Nothing is too much trouble for respectful customers, but we decline to assist aggressive, entitled, and ungrateful ones.

If you like what we do, consider supporting us. This half-million-word website is the result of thousands of hours of unpaid work. Everything @ Liquid Audio is done by yours truly and your support is appreciated.

Despite frequent requests, we don’t offer free consultations or valuations, remote technical assistance, retail sales, service data, technical procedures or IP.

Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.
