Quality
Businesses championing quality and professionalism are rare these days, and we’re proud to be one and to be trusted for meticulous attention to detail, professional service and contributions to the hi-fi zeitgeist. We are also proudly independent, top-100 university-educated and used and recommended by some of Perth’s best hi-fi retailers and equipment owners.
Those looking for a ‘cut-price, cut corners’ approach won’t find it here, but the approach is common, luring people in and delivering shortcuts, poor knowledge and workmanship, ‘Swell-Long’ capacitors, devalued/destroyed equipment, unprofessional behaviour, poor/scrubbed reviews, repeated business name changes and even court cases and seized vehicles! *
Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.

Our approach delivers peace of mind and the lowest long-term costs, and if it resonates with you, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
